- Genocide is a process with roots that become visible only in retrospect, and without accountability, violence is likely to return.
- The current calm in Israel is superficial, as Gaza continues to suffer violence, with over 200 civilians killed post-ceasefire.
- Israel's campaign in Gaza meets the definition of genocide, involving systematic destruction through killing, starvation, and displacement.
- B’Tselem's report 'Our Genocide' documents the deliberate targeting of Palestinians in Gaza, confirming international experts' claims.
- Over 68,000 people were killed in Gaza, with many more missing, and infrastructure was demolished, making Gaza uninhabitable.
- The genocide's origins lie in decades of Israeli military rule, apartheid, and a system ensuring Jewish supremacy.
- The international community, especially the US and Europe, has normalized and enabled the genocide through inaction or support.
- A global movement is rising against the genocide and the apartheid regime enabling it, which includes violent control and racism.
- The genocide's impact continues in Gaza through amputations, trauma, hunger, and blocked humanitarian aid.
- Accountability is crucial to prevent normalization of genocide and to challenge the violent, racist regime responsible.
