A report by the international human rights organization Amnesty said that the group has uncovered facts that prove Israel committed and is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip. The report claims that Israel is behaving in violation of the Convention for the Prevention of Genocide with the intention of "exterminating" Palestinians in the Strip. Month after month, the report states, Israel treats Palestinians as subhuman, lacking human rights and dignity, killing and harming them physically and mentally on purpose. "Our findings are a wake-up call to the world," said Agnès Callamard, secretary general of Amnesty International.
