Two prominent Israeli human rights groups, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. This is unprecedented, as Israeli organizations have largely avoided such accusations, due to the sensitivity surrounding the Holocaust. The groups base their claims on Israel's policies, statements by officials, and the destruction of Gaza's infrastructure. Israel rejects the accusations as antisemitic and blames civilian deaths on Hamas. The groups' reports, while considered fringe in Israel, have sparked debate and calls for international action to protect Palestinians.
