Amnesty International Condemns Hamas for 'Crimes Against Humanity,' 'Extermination' Over Oct 7 Atrocities

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : The organization said the killings and kidnappings carried out in southern Israel met the legal definition of "crime against humanity of extermination," marking the first time it has applied that classification to Hamas.
35% : The organization said last month it believes Israel "was still committing genocide" even after the ceasefire came into effect.
34% : "Palestinian armed groups committed violations of international humanitarian law, war crimes, and crimes against humanity during their attacks in southern Israel that started on 7 October 2023," the report stated.
28% : It also comes months after the organization faulted Iran for using cluster munitions during the Iran-Israel conflict, describing that action as a breach of international humanitarian law.
15% : Alongside its findings on Hamas, Amnesty repeated its longstanding accusation that Israel committed genocide during the Gaza war, an allegation Israel denies, adding that such accusations take into account numbers of deceased obtained only from the Hamas Health Ministry that lacks independent verification and does not make the distinction between terror group members and civilians.
