Incitement to genocide
As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text
Incitement to genocide is a crime under international law which prohibits inciting (encouraging) the commission of genocide. An extreme form of hate speech, incitement to genocide is an inchoate offense and is theoretically subject to prosecution even if genocide does not occur, although charges have never been brought in an international court without mass violence having occurred. "Direct and public incitement to commit genocide" was forbidden by the Genocide Convention in 1948. Incitement to genocide is often cloaked in metaphor and euphemism and may take many forms beyond direct advocacy, including dehumanization and accusation in a mirror.
What the highlighted wording does
1
One side's crimes are facts; the other's are “allegations”
The article documents Israeli officials (Gallant, Smotrich) as cases of incitement, and cites no Hamas or Palestinian incitement at all, though the 1988 charter, “from the river to the sea” and “Khaybar” are all on the record. No Antisemitism in the State of Palestine article exists.
