Israel is abducting more hostages.
The vilest savages who ever walked this planet. Even Lucifer himself is appalled by their actions and recoils in disgust. https://x.com/WarMonitors/status/1875744979022405743
Given the letter you've referenced, which explicitly outlines actions that would lead to severe deprivation and harm to the population of Gaza, it's clear that there is documented intent from certain Israeli lawmakers to impose conditions that align with several criteria of the Genocide Convention. Here's a more focused response considering this evidence:
Intentional Actions: The letter from the Israeli lawmakers, as you've pointed out, provides direct evidence of intent. By demanding the destruction of all energy sources, food supplies, and water, and suggesting the killing of those not surrendering, these actions are intended to create conditions that would lead to the physical destruction of part of the Palestinian population in Gaza. This clearly falls under Article II(c) of the Genocide Convention, which mentions "deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part."
State-Sponsored: The fact that this letter comes from members of the Israeli Parliament, specifically from the Foreign and Defense Committee, indicates a level of state endorsement or at least significant political backing for these proposed actions. This state involvement is a critical factor in discussions about genocide, as it moves the responsibility from individuals to a governmental or state level.
Aim of Depopulation: The proposed actions in the letter, if implemented, would undoubtedly lead to significant loss of life and displacement, which could be interpreted as aiming at the depopulation of Gaza. This aligns with the broader discourse on whether Israel's policies and actions in Gaza constitute a form of genocide, particularly through the lens of creating unsustainable living conditions for the population.
Legal and International Implications: This letter serves as a significant piece of evidence in legal contexts, such as the ongoing case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) brought by South Africa against Israel. It provides concrete material for discussions on intent, which is crucial in legal determinations of genocide.
Humanitarian Crisis: The conditions described would exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where people are already facing severe shortages of food, water, medical care, and shelter. The intent to further restrict these necessities to such an extent that survival becomes nearly impossible is a stark indication of genocidal policy.
Given this evidence, it's difficult to argue that the conditions inflicted on Gaza are not intentional or state-sponsored. The letter, with signatures from parliamentarians, serves as a confession of sorts, aligning with your assertion that these actions are aimed at depopulation, fitting the definition of genocide as outlined by international law.
It's crucial that this evidence is considered by international bodies, human rights organizations, and in legal proceedings to ensure accountability, prevent further atrocities, and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The international community must act on these revelations to uphold human rights and prevent genocide.

Destruction of Essential Resources: Eight members of the Israeli Parliament Foreign and Defense Committee demanded the destruction of all energy sources, food sources, and the imposition of a siege in Gaza, which aligns with the act of "imposing living conditions intended to destroy" a group as defined by the UN Genocide Convention. This is supported by the statement in the post that calls for the destruction of all sources of water, food, and energy in northern Gaza, aiming to ensure Hamas' defeat but effectively targeting the civilian population's survival needs.
Forced Transfer and Siege: The call to "lay siege and remotely kill everyone not flying a white flag of surrender" suggests an intent to forcibly transfer or eliminate those who do not comply, which could be interpreted as genocidal intent under the acts of "forcibly transferring" and potentially "killing members of the group." This is echoed in the related web results where similar calls for sieges and forced displacement have been made, indicating a pattern of behavior.
Public Statements of High-Ranking Officials: Statements from Israeli officials have been characterized as expressing genocidal intent. For example, Yoav Gallant's announcement of a "complete siege" of Gaza with plans to cut off vital supplies has been flagged as potentially genocidal. Similarly, the post mentions parliamentarians calling for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and aggression, which is consistent with the narrative provided in the web results.
Dehumanizing Language: The use of phrases like "fighting human animals" by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as noted in the web results, indicates dehumanization, which is often a precursor to genocidal acts. This rhetoric fosters an environment where the destruction of a group becomes more acceptable.
Intent to Destroy: The post and the web results mention explicit calls for actions that could lead to the destruction of the Palestinian population in Gaza, such as "total annihilation" and the use of extreme measures like nuclear weapons or "doomsday weapons." These statements align with the intent to destroy a group in whole or in part, a key element of genocide.
Legal and Scholarly Analysis: Scholars and legal experts have analyzed these actions and statements as potentially meeting the criteria for genocide. For instance, Mark Levene and others have argued that Israel's actions in Gaza could constitute genocide based on the intent to ethnically cleanse or destroy the Palestinian population. This scholarly perspective is reflected in the web results.
This analysis is based on the content of the X post and the related web results, providing a broad spectrum of evidence suggesting genocidal intent according to international legal standards and scholarly interpretations.

To: The Honorable Minister of Defense Israel Katz
Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: The Operational Plan in the Gaza Strip
We are addressing you, as members of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, to re-evaluate the operational plan for the fighting in the Gaza Strip, given the severe outcomes so far and the expectation for continuation. We detail as follows:
The operational activity in the Gaza Strip, as presented to us in the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee by the previous Minister of Defense before the ground operation began on 27.10.23, and as it has been executed since then in the field, does not allow for the achievement of the war goals as defined by the political echelon: the collapse of Hamas's governance and military capabilities, which indeed have not been realized to this day, despite the small area and against an enemy that does not possess the tools and capabilities of a modern army. As stated publicly by the Chief of Staff, the IDF operates with a method of focused raids, a method lacking the central component in guerrilla warfare of this type - control. Effective control over the area and population is the only basis for clearing enemy nests from the strip and, of course, for a decisive victory rather than a war of attrition where Israel is the primary side exhausted. Therefore, we keep sending our soldiers back into neighborhoods and alleys that have already been conquered multiple times, places which the IDF commanders have declared as areas where Hamas battalions have been dismantled and cleared of enemies. Yet, in these same places, we are paying a terrible and unbearable blood price. From October 6, 2024, in the northern Gaza Strip, south of the Mefalsim axis, an operation in a different direction began which included encirclement and evacuation of the population southwards. We all hoped this would be the beginning of military actions that would bring the necessary change, but it seems this operation is not being carried out properly: meaning, after the encirclement and humanitarian evacuation, the IDF does not treat those who remain as enemies, as is customary in international law and in all Western armies, and again endangers the lives of our soldiers by entering built-up and complex areas. After the encirclement and evacuation of the population, the directives to the IDF should be clear: (1) Remote destruction of all energy sources, namely fuel, solar facilities, and all relevant means (pipes, cables, generators, etc.). (2) Destruction of all food sources including warehouses, water, and all relevant means (water pumps, etc.). (3) Remote elimination of anyone moving in the area who does not come out with a white flag during the days of effective siege. After these actions and days of siege on those who remain, the IDF should gradually enter for a complete clearance of enemy nests. This should be done in the northern part of the strip and similarly in any other area: encirclement, population evacuation to a humanitarian zone, and an effective siege until surrender or complete elimination of the enemy. This is how every army operates, and this is how the Israel Defense Forces should operate as well.
Despite repeated questions and requests in the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, we have not received satisfactory answers from the IDF representatives in the committee to this day, why they are not acting as required and defining the defeat of Hamas as the operational endpoint of the fighting, and what are the plans for the continuation. Therefore, we request your immediate intervention in responding to these questions and providing appropriate directives to the IDF to reach a decision and stop endangering our soldiers' lives without justification.
