Guterres says Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza ‘fundamentally wrong’
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned the way Israel has waged its genocidal war on Gaza, describing it as “fundamentally wrong” and saying “there are strong reasons” to believe that Israeli forces have committed war crimes in the Palestinian territory.
“I think there was something fundamentally wrong in the way this operation was conducted with total neglect in relation to the deaths of civilians and to the destruction of Gaza,” Guterres told Reuters in an interview.
“The objective was to destroy Hamas. Gaza is destroyed, but Hamas is not yet destroyed. So there is something fundamentally wrong with the way this is conducted,” he said.
Asked if he believed Israeli forces may be guilty of carrying out war crimes since the conflict began more than two years ago, Guterres said, “There are strong reasons to believe that that possibility might be a reality.”
The goal was never to destroy Hamas, Hamas is the excuse to (continue to) destroy Gaza and make it unlivable. Guterres knows full well, but needs to be very careful with his words. Compromised. "that possibility might be a reality" How much evidence does he need... He's simply not allowed to state the facts. War crimes have been committed and continue to be committed on a daily basis.
Microsoft faces new complaint for allegedly aiding Israeli war crimes in Gaza
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) has announced it filed a complaint against Microsoft, accusing the global tech giant of unlawfully processing data on behalf of the Israeli military and facilitating the killings of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
In the complaint, the council asked the Data Protection Commission – the European Union’s lead data regulator for the company – to “urgently investigate” Microsoft Ireland’s processing.
“Microsoft’s technology has put millions of Palestinians in danger. These are not abstract data-protection failures — they are violations that have enabled real-world violence,” Joe O’Brien, ICCL’s executive director, said in a statement.
“When EU infrastructure is used to enable surveillance and targeting, the Irish Data Protection Commission must step in — and it must use its full powers to hold Microsoft to account.”
After months of complaints from rights groups and Microsoft whistleblowers, the company said in September it cancelled some services to the Israeli military over concerns that it was violating Microsoft’s terms of service by using cloud computing software to spy on millions of Palestinians.
