The genocide goes on: several babies died when taken out of incubators that
had no power and many more cancer patients sent home died. Most injured
people cannot be helped since the medical system is completely collapsed
and there are 27,000 injured. A friend I have in Gaza told me an American
flag was seen on a tank and unusual soldiers not Israeli are seen (wonder
if these are the US Delta forces that Biden was photographed shaking their
hands in this country). Rotting dead human bodies are all over Gaza. Stray
hungry dogs are eating some!. Of course Israel does not allow international
observers or even international journalists to enter Gaza to check on its
lies and distortions. They even killed 1 Lebanese and 37 Palestinian
journalists (majority reporting for international agencies). I do not know
if sope people have yet thought of eating other humans to survive (at least
in North Gaza were starvation and thirst are more since Israel
carpet-bombed the area). Now to be sure there are many
genocides/holocausts in human history but there are six unique features of
this ongoing one:
1) It is so blatantly obvious and live broadcast live 24 hours a day and
available for anyone willing to switch off the mainstream media and go to
live footage like aljazeera.com or almayadeen or even telegram, Instagram,
Facebook, TikTok etc. The images and sounds are horrifying (imagine people
there also feeling and smelling the death and dying
2) It is self-admitted by the Zionists themselves including that they
denied water, foo, medicine, fuel, electricity etc to the 2.3 million
inhabitants of Gaza and even proudly explained that there are “no civilians
in Gaza” (Israeli president), and we deny food because we are dealing with
human animals (Israeli minister of war), see
https://popular-resistance.
3) It is accompanied by the highest number of LIES spoken by Israeli
officials and parroted by those with no conscience. Is anything the Israeli
government say to be believed after a long history of past and present lies
challenged by facts- see
https://popular-resistance.
4) Due to the money and resources of strong lobbies (most of it funded by
Western taxpayer money), the colonization, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid
are supported by a) many western and arab governments, b) the mainstream
media parroting the Israeli (false) talking points
5) Palestinians are not only victimized (8 million are refugees/displaced
people, millions who remain in Palestine stored in
ghettos/Bantustans/
most brutal oppression. Bu Palestinians and their supporters asking for
human rights are also dehumanized and defamed as hating Jews etc (ironic
since thousands of Jews were willing to be arrested and even brutalized for
their support of Palestinian rights)
6) There is a vicious brutalization of people for being Palestinian by
Israeli occupation forces (and here there is no distinction between
settlers and soldiers since everyone serves in the army and all behave
similar). Collective punishment and torture are rampant. Beatings of and
shooting civilians happen regularly. The attempt to suppress free speech
goes on, destroying any semblance or pretense of “democracy”. A new law in
Israel forbids people from watching some videos considered “terrorist
propaganda” (and of course anything against Israeli apartheid is considered
such). People under Israeli rule lost their jobs, were jailed or tortured
or all for social media posts even mildly speaking of the horrors of Gaza.
In Gaza now, if you post a message critical of Israeli actions your home
can be bombed. In the Western countries also, citizens showing sympathy to
Palestine or working against apartheid or colonialism are targeted. There
are laws in some US states against engaging in Boycotts, Divestments,
Sanctions and in some European countries working for freedom for Palestine
is considered illegal.
On the positive side this injustice has garnered unprecedented public
outrage around the world. Millions were in the streets protesting and
hundreds of thousands are acting and engaged in civil disobedience, in
boycott of Israeli and US products that support colonization etc. (see
ongaza.org item # 21). That is also unique!! Everything helps so please
keep the pressure on the cheerleaders and participants in genocide.
