ABBY MARTIN: ISRAEL IS COMMITTING GENOCIDE

Can what Israel is doing in the Gaza Strip be described a genocide? British journalist Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) recently posed that question to US-based journalist and filmmaker Abby Martin (@abbymartin) on @piersmorganuncensored.

She thought so, and cited indicators that point to Israel committing genocidal acts against Palestinians. From the besiegement of the Gaza Strip, starvation of civilians, destruction of health facilities, indiscriminate bombing of among the world's most densely populated areas, the killing of over 33,000 civilians and so on, Martin said Israel’s policy targeting Palestinians is clear.

After debates that took place about whether Israel had bombed the first hospital in October, Israel went on to attack more hospitals in the Gaza Strip, leaving only 24 per cent of healthcare facilities functioning.

Do you think the discussions around whether Israel is committing genocide might be wasting time as more than 2 million of Palestinians are held under siege?
