The conflict in Gaza has led to widespread devastation, prompting legal and historical debates about whether Israel’s actions constitute genocide. Under the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, genocide is defined as acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. This article will present an argument based on international law, historical patterns of systematic destruction, and documented evidence, proving that the actions against the Palestinian people constitute genocide.
