Well, there are allegations against Israel, and Hamas, and China, and Miramar, and Russia, and Sudan, and several others currently, but that’s not the answer you’re looking for, is it?
What are the charges that the individuals from those nations, or the one nation you’re singling out, are actually charged (not convicted) of?
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including causing starvation to civilians…but…October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas and other militant groups on Israel have led to actual genocide allegations. Is that what you’re fishing for?
Since Israel’s inception in 1948, it’s been accused of genocide against the Palestinians…who in 1948 numbered roughly 1.2 million and today number roughly 14 million with about 1/2 of those living in Gaza or what’s now called the West Bank, and about 1/2 living in other countries including the 2 million or so living in Israel.
Now, whom are the three authors of the UN report that accuses Israel of genocide?
1) Miloon Kothari
2) Chris Sidoti
3) Navi Pillay
Who are they? Are they unbiased and impartial judges with respect to this report?
The first is Miloon Kothari, a man condemned in 2022 for his blatant antisemitism by the UN Secretary General and every major Western Democratic Country. Even the head of UNHRC called him an antisemite which is akin to being labeled a Jew hater by Joseph Goebbels.
The second of the three ‘independent’ members is Chris Sidoti, a retired left wing Australian lawyer on the council of the Australian Centre for International Justice (ACIJ). They describe Israel as a “settler-colonial apartheid regime” and support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Like Kothari, he was condemned for his blatant antisemitism in 2023.
The third member of the ‘independent’ UNHRC commission that accused Israel of genocide is its Chair, Navi Pillay. A South African ANC activist she has in the past accused Israel of ‘Palestinian organ stealing’, ‘genocide’, ‘targeting children’ and, of course, being an “apartheid regime”.
Her commission, has over the years been labelled a "kangaroo court" by the U.S., UK, Germany, Australia, Italy, and others for its "open-ended mandate" and "disproportionate focus on Israel" amid other global humanitarian crises. Judge for yourself whether she’s independent.
Oh yeah, the three of them resigned in July 2025 in a move designed to avoid the US sanctioning them on account of the transparent weaponisation of the commission against Israel. Those resignations took effect this month in October which explains the timing of their self described ‘independent report’ but that might not be the answer you’re looking for here either.
Within three days of October 7th, 2023 Pillay's Commission of Inquiry (COI) claimed it had evidence of Israeli crimes, and shouted the ultimate obscenity: the slaughter of Jews was the fault of the Jewish state. The victims were to blame. 'The root cause of the conflict,' Pillay's COI said, was Israel’s 'illegal occupation.'
Moreover, Pillay and her COI actually promoted terror. They gave Hamas the political backing to carry on. On October 30, 2023 Pillay said in an interview to Al Jazeera of Palestinian terrorists: 'they are actually forced to resort to armed struggle.' At the same time, in October 2023 Pillay's COI told the General Assembly that Israel has no UN Charter right of self-defense."
In October 2023, less than a month after the Hamas terrorist organization massacred 1,200 people in southern Israel, Pillay and Sidoti, speaking on behalf of the commission of inquiry, claimed that Israel's right to defend itself in the wake of the massacre was in doubt.
Sidoti stated that "one difficulty that it seems is not being properly addressed in discussing the right to self-defense in those terms, under Article 51 of the UN Charter, is that that’s predominantly framed in terms of an attack by another state upon the first state and defending against state action."
According to him, because Israel does not recognize the State of Palestine, "it may be for that reason that the State of Israel cannot claim to act under Article 51 when it is being attacked not by a state, but by a non-state actor."
Navi Pillay, the chairwoman of the Commission of Inquiry, said that the commission would "examine issues such as the right of defense," but stated that Israel's response to the massacre committed earlier that month was "much more retaliation and revenge."
Pillay claimed that even in October 2023, there was "no direct threat to individuals from Israel" since the Hamas invasion of southern Israel was fought back in the days following October 7, ignoring the thousands of rockets that had been fired at Israel every day since the massacre and the repeated attempts to infiltrate Israel again by smaller cells of terrorists, as well as Hamas officials vows to continue carrying out massacres like the one committed on October 7.

These are the authors of the report that the ICC is basing its arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant on. Not such a “got’cha” question as you might’ve thought it was, is it?
…or two.
Was it “Settling” in Gaza? Does this count as two questions or three questions (?) or is it four questions including this question about my questions?
