It’s been a genocide for the past year and half…
- Yeah I agree it's time to do the next step and make them pay for what they keep doing as we speak
  
  Doesn’t matter, America will protect them regardless of who is in charge.
- I'd argue it's been genocide since the 1940s
The headline falls short. The report is in particular about sexual and gender based violence, including rape of women, girls, men and boys by the Israeli armed forces. The report also concludes systematic attacks on reproductive health care, which amounts to genocidal acts as part of a broader strategy of increasing violation and repression of Palestinian people.

Again, this is specifically about sexual violence by Israel. This is not "just" about mass murder. The title of the report is;

More than a human can bear”: Israel's systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since 7 October 2023
