Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Allegations have been made that the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel constituted a genocide against Israelis. In the course of the assault, Palestinian militants attacked communities, a music festival, and military bases in the region of southern Israel known as the Gaza envelope. The attack, which has been described as a "rampage of atrocities",[1] resulted in the deaths of 1,139 people,[2] two thirds of whom were civilians.[citation needed] Thirteen IDF soldiers and 230 other men, women and children were kidnapped and taken as hostages to the Gaza Strip. Human Rights Watch criticised Hamas and their allies Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) specifically for the war crime of taking civilian hostages.[3]

Background

Both Israel and Palestine frequently accuse the other of planning to commit genocide.[4][5] Some commentators[citation needed] have suggested the attacks were carried out with genocidal intent, pointing to Hamas' founding charter from 1988,[6] which called for the destruction of Israel and featured antisemitic language.[citation needed] The charter was revised in 2017.[7] Before the revision of their charter, Hamas sought the complete dissolution of the Israeli state. The 2017 revision advocated for a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders, which include Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.[7] Some Hamas allies in the 7 October attack, such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the PFLP, expressed less willingness to compromise on a two-state solution.[citation needed]

Hamas ideology

Hamas is a Palestinian Nationalist and Sunni Islamist Political Party,[8][9][10] that evolved from the "Islamic resistance" movement (which Hamas is an acronym for) established in 1987, the movement was founded by Ahmed Yassin, a religious scholar born in Al-Jura (now known as Ashkelon),[citation needed] as the underground wing of the Muslim Brotherhood movement in the Gaza Strip, at the beginning of the First Intifada.[11] It now includes political (Hamas itself), social service, and militiant (Al-Qassam) wings.[12][13] In 2007, the group violently seized control of the Gaza Strip, and has been subsequently involved in multiple wars with Israel.[14] Hamas is recognized as one of the most effective Palestinian groups engaged in conflicts with Israel.[citation needed] Since their takeover of the Gaza Strip, Hamas has fired thousands of rockets toward Israeli population centers.[15]

Litvak characterized Hamas' ideas have been as displaying a certain resemblance to or drawing inspiration from radical salafi-jihadist movements.[citation needed] Irwin Cotler characterized the ideology of Hamas, among others, as an instance of "genocidal antisemitism.”[16] However many others have pointed out the differences between Hamas and Salafists, particularly ISIS, and with other Islamist.

In 1988, Hamas released its founding charter, which - before it was revised in 2017 - called for the destruction of Israel]] and the establishment of an Islamic state encompassing all areas of former British Mandate Palestine.[17][14] Hamas' 1988 charter contains a demeaning portrayal of the Jewish people and features several anti-Semitic tropes. The assertion is that Jews have no entitlement to any part of Palestinian land.[citation needed] It portrays Israeli society in Nazi-like terms,[18] and assigns collective responsibility to Jews, not just Israelis, for global issues, including both World Wars.[19] Article 7 in the 1988 charter quotes a passage from the Haddith, "The Day of Judgment will not occur until Muslims engage in conflict with Jews and defeat them." Meanwhile, Article 13 dismisses any prospect of compromise or peace until the destruction of Israel is achieved.[20] The demeaning portrayal of the Jewish people in Hamas rhetoric and strategy has led scholars such as Meir Litvak to suggest antisemitism as a pillar of Hamas ideology. Jihad, aiming for "the destruction of Israel and the elimination of the Jews," is identified as another pillar.[citation needed]

Bayefsky characterized the violent language against all Jews in the 1988 charter as genocidal.[21][22][23]

In 2017 Hamas presented a new charter that some commentators viewed as accepting the concept of an interim Palestinian state along the "Green Line" established before the 1967 Six-Day war. However, it maintained its stance of refusing to recognize Israel.[24]

Hamas consistently state that their dispute is only with the state of Israel. They have condemned attacks on the Jewish diaspora outside Israel in the United States[25] and Germany.[citation needed]

2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel

Main article: 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel
A kindergarten in Kibbutz Be'eri after the Be'eri Massacre

On 7 October 2023, coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip. Around 2,900 armed Hamas militants infiltrated Israel followed by a few waves of Gazan citizens.[26] The 2,900 militants killed 1,139 people.[2]

Around 1,200 Israelis and foreigners were killed, which included 859 civilians, 282 soldiers, 57 policemen and 10 Shin Bet members.[27][28][29][30] Many of the bodies were burned and mutilated.[31] Another massacre occurred at a music festival near Re'im, where 364 (of the 1139) were shot, bludgeoned, or burned to death.[32][33] Thousands more sustained injuries, hundreds of which were severe.[34]

Additionally, Hamas operatives allegedly engaged in torture, rape and sexual assault against numerous women, girls, and in some cases, men.[35][36] About 250 Israeli civilians and soldiers were taken as hostages to the Gaza Strip, including 30 kidnapped children.[37] The Hamas assault prompted an Israeli counter-offensive in Gaza. The day is considered the bloodiest in Israel's history and the deadliest for Jews since the Holocaust.[38][39]

Al Qassam militants extensively recorded their actions through body cameras, probably for propaganda purposes.[40] They also stole victims' phones to livestream their deaths on social media. Additionally, they posted messages or media on victims' social media accounts and went as far as calling relatives to taunt them.[28]

Documents discovered on the bodies of Hamas operatives in Israel indicated that carrying out massacres was a key objective of the invasion. Israeli first responders reportedly found instructions on the bodies of the operatives, directing them to target civilian populations, including elementary schools and a youth center, with the explicit order to "kill as many people as possible." The documents also outlined the directive to take hostages for future negotiation purposes.[41][42]

In the aftermath of the attack, American counterterrorism analyst Bruce Hoffman underscored the significance of the 1988 Hamas charter, asserting that Hamas has consistently maintained genocidal intentions and demonstrated a lack of interest in "moderation, restraint, negotiation, and the building of pathways to peace."[6]

Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas official, stated in a late October 2023 interview that the October 7 attack against Israel was just the beginning. He vowed to launch "a second, a third, a fourth" attack until the country is "annihilated," asserting, "We are victims - everything we do is justified."[43][44] Israeli government officials have made near identical claims that Israel being the victim of the 7 October attacks justifies their subsequent actions,[citation needed] despite many describing those actions as a genocide.[citation needed]

Academic and legal discourse

On 12 October 2023, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Ahmad Khan, stated that war crimes committed on the territory of Israel by Palestinians or by nationals of other state parties to the Rome Statute were within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court investigation in Palestine. According to Khan, jurisdiction was not restricted to the suspects being members of Hamas.[45]

On 16 October, an open letter signed by around 240 legal experts, including jurists and academics, declared the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023 as a "crime of genocide."[46] According to the letter, "as these widespread, horrendous acts appear to have been carried out with an intent to destroy, in whole or in part a national group – Israelis – they most probably constitute an international crime of genocide". The letter was endorsed by legal experts from prominent institutions, including Harvard and Columbia Law Schools, King's College London, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Dan Eldad, former acting State Attorney of Israel from February to May 2020, played a key role in drafting the letter. The Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, chaired by former Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler, also signed the letter.[47][48][49]

On 17 October 2023, Genocide Watch published a "Genocide Emergency Alert", stating that "Hamas targeted Israelis simply because they were Israelis. It was the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have expressed their genocidal intent to destroy the nation of Israel. The massacres by Hamas constituted acts of genocide. The attacks were also crimes against humanity and war crimes."[50] On 24 October 2023, Genocide Watch issued a new statement. In the statement, scholars of Holocaust studies and genocide studies and prevention, including Gregory H. Stanton and Israel Charny asserted that Hamas' actions against Israeli civilians qualify as genocide and crimes against humanity. The statement calls on the United Nations Human Rights Council, the UN General Assembly, the UN Office of Special Advisors for the Prevention of Genocide, and the UN Security Council to investigate, condemn, and refer the situation to the International Criminal Court (ICC). It also advocates for the recognition of these acts as genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The call extends to UN member states to use national courts for legal proceedings against those responsible for the genocide.[51]

In November 2023, a lawyer[who?] representing the families of nine Israeli victims of the 7 October Hamas attacks filed a complaint at the International Criminal Court (ICC) accusing Hamas of genocide. The lawyer affirmed that he and his legal team had verified the legitimacy of the "genocide" accusation in accordance with the law.[52][28]

Hilly Moodrick-Even Khen, a senior lecturer of public international law and chair of Ariel University Center for the Research and Study of Genocide, asserted that the crimes committed by Hamas on October 7 constitute the crime of genocide. She points to evidence such as Hamas' covenant calling for the elimination of the State of Israel and widespread incitement against Jews and Israelis embedded in several aspects of Gazan infrastructure, culture and media, indicating a specific intent to destroy the Jewish and Israeli populations.[53]

In an article published November 10 in The Economist, the article argued that Hamas fighters who conducted the attack on October 7, were carrying out actions in line with their genocidal intentions outlined in the group's founding charter. In contrast, the article contends that Israel's military campaign in Gaza does not meet the criteria for genocide.[54]

Academic discourse

British historian Niall Ferguson characterized the events of 7 October as indicative of Hamas' intent to re-enact the Holocaust. He stated that Hamas should be "destroyed" to prevent this.[55][56]

Israeli historian Havi Dreifuss wrote that: "Even though Hamas is unable to replicate the scale of the Holocaust, one cannot ignore the numerous voices that rightly point to experiential elements and ideologies that exhibit similarities," also adding that "These men, women, and children weren't murdered for their actions, but rather, as in the Holocaust, for their very existence."[57] Stephen D. Smith, a specialist in genocide, also characterized the massacres on October 7 as a genocide.[58] Historian Charlie Laderman described the events of October 7 as a "genocidal massacre." He pointed to the 1929 Hebron massacre, carried out by followers of Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem against the Jewish community of the city, as evidence of the longstanding roots of Islamist ideology. Laderman also highlighted Hamas' founding charter, which he characterizes as invoking divine sanction for genocide against Jews.[59]

Gideon Greif, a Holocaust historian, drew parallels between the October 7 attacks and the Holocaust in an article for Maariv. He highlighted the infliction of extreme suffering, including immolation, mutation, rape, and the kidnapping of babies; the shared antisemitic hatred between Nazis and Hamas as evident in recorded statements of Hamas operatives proudly announcing the murder of Jews; and the extreme lack of mercy displayed by the attackers.[60]

Adam Jones, author of a textbook on genocide, said Hamas' "wild and indiscriminate killing" qualified as a "genocidal massacre" that should be "acknowledged and condemned as such," but the very restrictive intentionality requirement in the legal definition of genocide was still a "high evidentiary bar to reach".[61]

Israeli historian and holocaust specialist Raz Segal similarly said, "I definitely see intent to kill a significant number of members of the group, to instill unbelievable trauma and terror among members of the group. But I don’t see intent to destroy in relation to the Hamas attack that would render it an act of genocide."[61]

Martin Shaw viewed Hamas' attack as "a wave of 'genocidal massacres,' localized mass killings whose victims were defined by their Israeli-Jewish identity", adding that the concept of the genocidal massacre, first proposed by Leo Kuper, was "a logical extension of the notion in the convention that genocide can include destroying a group 'in part.'"[62]

Political scientist Abdelwahab El-Affendi stated that the attacks were consistent with terrorism and mass violence, but that the taking of hostages for prisoner exchanges indicated that the intent of the attacks was not genocidal.[63]

Historian and professor of genocide studies Uğur Ümit Üngör highlights the killing of Arab Israelis and Bedouins during Hamas' attack as evidence that the attack may not have been "group selective".[64]

Public discourse

American author Doron Weber labelled Hamas a "genocidal terror group" and wrote that "Hamas not only filmed its atrocities, it promised to repeat them until all Jews were obliterated from the land. This is the textbook definition of genocide, the 1948 annihilationism that informs Hamas's Islamist charter."[65] Rachel Avraham, head of the Dona Gracia Center for Diplomacy, an Israeli NGO, wrote: "They [Hamas] believe that all of the Jews here should either die or leave the country. And for this reason, they massacred, beheaded, mutilated, raped, burned alive, and committed many atrocities on October 7 in an entire region of Israel. If October 7 was not a genocide, then I do not know what is."[66]

In an opinion article for WSJ, Qanta A. Ahmed shared her firsthand experience as a human-rights observer in Israel following the October 7 attacks, branding the assaults by Hamas as a "genocidal massacre." Ahmed detailed the deliberate targeting of Israelis by Hamas and advocated for legally designating the attacks as genocide. She stressed the importance of this designation independent of the ongoing conflict, aiming to document and prosecute these acts as crimes against humanity.[67]

Mosab Hassan Yousef, former Israeli informant and the son of a Hamas co-founder, described the October 7 massacre carried out by Hamas as "genocide by all standards." He based this perspective on the assertion that Hamas ethnically cleansed nearly 20 communities, targeting people based on their race, ethnicity, and religion.[68]

In a December 2023 survey conducted by Harvard CAPS and the Harris Poll, 73% of respondents viewed Hamas attacks against Jews as genocidal in nature, and 74% believed that Hamas harbored intentions of committing genocide against Jews in Israel.[69][70]

Government responses

United States of America

John Kirby, US National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, accused Hamas of "genocidal intentions against the people of Israel. They would like to see it wiped off the map, they said so on purpose. And they've said that they're not going to stop. What happened on the 7th of October is going to happen again and again and again. And what happened on the 7th of October? Murder; slaughter of innocent people in their homes or at a music festival. That's genocidal intentions."[71]

Israel

At the UN's European headquarters, Yeela Cytrin, a legal advisor at the Mission of Israel to the UN in Geneva, emphasized, "The attacks by Hamas on October 7 were motivated by a genocidal ideology".[72]
