Recognition of Genocide & War Crimes in Palestine

Overwhelming evidence from UN bodies, legal authorities, and human rights organizations confirms that atrocities are being committed in Palestine. Despite this, some deny the reality.

The Facts Are Clear: When the International Court of Justice, United Nations, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and even Israeli human rights organizations all reach the same conclusion, it's not an accusation—it's a fact.
