Human rights organisation Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Israel of committing a “live-streamed genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza by forcibly displacing most of the population and deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe.

In its annual report, Amnesty charged that Israel had acted with “specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, thus committing genocide”.

Israel’s foreign ministry rejected the accusations of genocide as “baseless lies” and accused Amnesty International of being a “radical anti-Israel organisation”.

      It means raped or sexually abused nowadays. The biblical term of sodomy encompasses all forms of sexual behavior that would go against the word of the Lord and would thus be immoral, even consensual homosexual activities, but nobody uses it like that anymore.
