US government rejects allegations of genocide against Israel

Gazastreifen, Palästinensische Gebiete - The US government has again rejected the allegations of a genocide of the Israeli military at the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Communication director John Kirby said that the violent situation in the Gaza Strip could not be compared with the genocide of the Sudanese militia RSF, such as Today.at reported. Kirby emphasized that the Israeli soldiers did not actively act out of the motif of killing Palestinians, but were of a different kind. This is in stark contrast to the current developments in Sudan, where, according to Kirby, a clear genocide of the civilian population takes place.

discussion about human rights violations

The attitude of the United States is heavily criticized by human rights organizations such as Amnesty International, who want to prove in their extensive report that Israel is practicing genocide in the Gaza Strip. According to Amnesty, numerous war crimes were committed by the Israeli army - an assessment that Israel Rigoros rejects as "completely wrong". Kirby himself admitted that the number of civilian victims in the Gaza Strip was "unacceptable high", but he denies that these circumstances can be referred to as genocide, such as Der SPIEGEL reported.

These controversy heat the debate about the moral and political implications of international reactions to the foci of crisis. The fact that the USA argues from a differentiated view raises new questions about the geopolitical strategies that play a role in the background.
