Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said there is "sufficient evidence" that Israel is committing "genocide" in the Gaza Strip.

During an event at the Islamic Center in Boston, after being asked if she believed Israel was committing genocide, Warren said: "It is wrong to starve children and civilian populations in order to try to bend them to your will. It is wrong to drop 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated civilian areas."

“I think I can make a more effective argument by describing the behavior that is occurring and whether I think it is right or wrong,” she added, noting that for her, “it is much more important to say that what Israel is doing is wrong” than to make a legal case. On “what constitutes genocide.”

But after the questioner pressed her on whether “the answer was yes or no,” and when some in the crowd accused her of “avoiding the answer,” Warren said it was likely that the International Court of Justice would find Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza, “and they have sufficient evidence on that.

Warren explained the reason for her reluctance to describe the Israeli military campaign against Hamas as genocide, because "I am trying to get people to move beyond the classifications debate, and I am trying to get them to look at the behavior on the ground."
