      Reminder that in addition to [the genocide Israel is committing in Gaza](https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session60/advance-version/a-hrc-60-crp-3.pdf) (according to [the definition used in international law](https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-prevention-and-punishment-crime-genocide)) Israel is also violating the Geneva Conventions in the West Bank which is where [the photo of that man harassing an innocent woman](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/israeli-palestinian-italian-magazine/) was taken.

      On July 19, 2024 the [International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion](https://www.icj-cij.org/node/204176) ruling that Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian territory and engaging in the illegal forcible transfer of populations in violation of the Geneva conventions in an attempt to illegally take over the land of the West Bank. They said “In the Court’s view, **Israel’s policies and practices are contrary to the prohibition of forcible transfer of the protected population under the first paragraph of** [**Article 49, of the Fourth Geneva Convention**](https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciv-1949/article-49) the Court is of the view that Israel’s systematic failure to prevent or to punish attacks by settlers against the life or bodily integrity of Palestinians, as well as Israel’s excessive use of force against Palestinians, is inconsistent with its obligations. . . . The Court has also found in reply to the first part of question (b) that **the continued presence of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is illegal**.”
