Yesterday, a UN inquiry concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The writing has been on the wall for a long time and yet, the air strikes and blockade continued as the world watched on. Speaking to The Fuller Project in August, the UN’s special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem, addressed the gap between ordinary citizens, moved to protest by the suffering they witness in real time, and their leaders, who she said have been “stalling”.
Israeli officials dismissed the UN’s findings, as they have done all along. The question now is for the international community: will governments act?
