Genocide and Suicide Terrorism - Part 1
Article 6 (a) Genocide by killing:
Elements
1. The perpetrator killed2 one or more persons.
2. Such person or persons belonged to a particular national, ethnical, racial or religious group.
3. The perpetrator intended to destroy, in whole or in part, that national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.
4. The conduct took place in the context of a manifest pattern of similar conduct directed against that group or was conduct that could itself effect such destruction.
On 3 April 2002, about 1,000 Israeli troops entered the Jenin refugee camp on the West Bank, home to some 14,000 Palestinians. Supported by Apache attack helicopters and Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozers, the troops razed a section of the camp that harbored militants who had recently organized a string of devastating suicide missions and other attacks against Israeli civilians. At least 52 Palestinians were killed in Jenin, 22 of them civilians, along with 23 Israeli soldiers. By the time the dust settled on 11 April, more than a quarter of the camp’s residents were homeless.
Data were also collected on all 210 state-directed assassinations and 138 suicide bombings that took place in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza between 26 October 2000 (the date of the Second Intifada’s first suicide bombing) and 12 July 2005.
Note that although relatively indiscriminate state violence was more widespread in Gaza than in the West Bank, Israelis saw Gaza as less of a threat than the West Bank throughout the Second Intifada. That is because 109 suicide bombings originated in the West Bank compared to just 28 in Gaza (see Table 3).
