The Israeli government has imposed an economic blockade on food, fuel and water entering the Palestinian enclave of Gaza for over 16-years in a failed attempt at regime change.
This inhuman and illegal siege has forced the UN, the EU and the rest of the international community to supply Gaza with more than 455 truckloads of aid, every day, in order to meet the humanitarian needs of 2.2 million, mainly civilians, that Israel has tried to starve and freeze to death, in order to satisfy the aims of the Political Zionist, Likud government of which Netanyahu in the current head.
The cost to the international community of the supply of 150,000 trucks of aid, every 12 months, is enormous, at many hundreds of millions of dollars /pounds annually – all as a result of the ambition of one man, and his political party.
As a consequence of this inhuman mistreatment over so many years, Hamas militants carried out a deadly attack on kibbutzim in Israel on October 7, killing 1,400 people and kidnapping hundreds of others, in an unprecedented orgy of violence.
The Israeli government has since imposed a complete siege on food, fuel and water entering the Palestinian enclave. Rights groups have warned that more than 2 million civilians are at risk of severe dehydration and starvation.
Amnesty International said Israel’s “collective punishment” of civilians amounts to a war crime.
This is not Judaism but political Zionism in an appalling act of brutality – an automated genocide on an industrial scale, in which the corpses of the dead now pile up in the bombed streets and houses of Gaza.
For Binyamin Netanyahu, on trial for criminal corruption, but for now, astonishingly, still Prime Minister – taking the lives of civilian Palestinians, of mothers and children is as easy as stealing Palestinian land – an act of criminality that he has performed for more than two decades.
He is the ultimate criminal politician, but one apparently still free to violently take both life and land, ad infinitum. Of course, his criminal activity will soon end with his almost certain future imprisonment, but at what cost to the world, and to the 5 million persecuted Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank?
What does this man, who orders the mass killing of women and children, and who still is an elected leader of a Westernised country, tell us about the failure of democratic systems?
What does it tell us about both the United States (and Britain), whose governments’ actually support this alleged mass murder with billions of dollars/pounds of arms: planes, guns, bombs, missiles, SLBM and ICBM etc in order to subjugate and to now kill thousands upon thousands of unarmed, indigenous Muslims in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, in a revenge mass killing for another shocking atrocity committed by Hamas militia, in October, last.
Is this how international justice works?
The violent killing of 15,000 civilians, to date is criminal, collective punishment.
This is genocide funded and armed primarily by the United States Congress. This is a holocaust committed by the aggressor on an industrial scale using Artificial Intelligence systems to target and kill as many residents of Gaza as possible, using automatic systems to locate all Muslims, under the pretext of legitimate defence in what is, in fact, a war of aggression.
The die has been cast. There is no going back, anymore than the piled corpses of the dead, lying on top of one another in the bombed ruins of the houses and streets of Gaza, can speak of the horrors of genocide perpetrated by this US funded and armed, Likud government of (undeclared) nuclear-armed Israel, in its bloody campaign of collective vengeance in Netanyahu’s campaign of mass killing and displacement.
