Amnesty Intl: It is Genocide
GUARDIAN: Amnesty International report says Israel’s war in Gaza constitutes genocide under international law.
Hamas should announce that it is killing one hostage every half hour, until israel ceases ALL attacks in the Occupied Territories and Lebanon. Give israel the number of hostages and the time line israel has before all hostages are dead. ( killing need not be true, but the announcement itself would plunge israel into such crisis that netanyahu and his henchmen would give in or be toppled by the israelis.)
