Tembeka Ngcukaitobi SC lays out a compelling case for genocidal intent, describing how this intent goes beyond the traditional definition of genocide in the context of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. One cannot ignore the evident and systematic nature of the military attacks, which have targeted not only combatants but also innocent civilians in their family homes. The denial of access to humanitarian aid and the deliberate destruction of healthcare facilities further underline the severity of this situation. Disturbingly, the speeches and statements made by Israel’s political leaders, echoed by soldiers on the ground, showcase a willingness to unleash an unprecedented response. References to historical events, such as the Amalek group, are invoked, including calls for the erasure of Gaza from existence. Shockingly, even a total blockade of ‘human animals’ has gained support from certain parliamentarians. One must acknowledge that this intent to destroy has been formulated and propagated from the highest levels of the Israeli state. Palestinians are continuously tarred with the crimes of Hamas, without any opportunity for rebuttal or rejection of these claims. The genocidal intent is crystal clear to the soldiers on the ground, as video evidence filmed by themselves attests. Commands from Israel’s army commanders echo this mindset, with statements suggesting that the entire Gaza should resemble a flattened suburb. Soldiers proudly boast about the destruction of entire villages, which they claim to be their mandate. The Knesset is not immune to these disturbing sentiments, with repeated references made for all Palestinians to perish. Moreover, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speeches and rhetoric have gained significant traction within Israeli society. Despite international outcry, no meaningful efforts have been made to prevent, condemn, or punish acts and calls for genocide. Israel’s military tactics remain unchanged, with a relentless blockade that hinders essential survival and denies aid organizations access to Gaza. What sets this case apart is not the silent perpetration of horrors, but rather the explicit broadcasting of desires, intentions, and instructions that filter down to the foot soldiers.
