Indian judge behind scathing Gaza UN report urges India to stop arming Israel India should reconsider the supply of arms to Israel and ensure it is not "going down in global history as having contributed to the genocide in Gaza", says an Indian judge who was one of the main authors of the UN’s scathing report that said Israel’s targeting of children amounted to genocide. S Muralidhar, former Delhi High Court chief justice who chairs the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, said India "should seriously think about" ending arms transfers because "all the munitions and the arms in Israel's hands are being used to target defenceless unarmed children". In an interview with India’s leading magazine, Frontline, he added that India "should not contribute to the failure of the UN system" and should speak out "clearly and unambiguously" against attacks on children.
