Hell On Earth: Israel Is Turning Gaza Into A Graveyard For Childreh

The truce between Israel and Hamas wasn’t much of a truce when it allowed for primary school aged Palestinian children to be assassinated by trained Israeli military snipers, was it?

Let’s imagine this NINE year old child’s ‘crime’ was launching a few rocks at some of the most advanced military hardware on the face of the planet. Did this justify the cold-blooded murder of a child? 

Perhaps he left a minor scratch on a bombproof Land Rover. It’s not quite like the Israeli Hellfire missile that struck a hospital in Gaza and second-story apartment in Shaja’iya, killing and maming scores of innocent Palestinians, is it? 

Proportionality isn’t a word in the Israeli military dictionary. It’s never about accuracy and always about inflicting maximum damage. The Zionist ethnic cleansing campaign doesn’t care for proportionality.

But anyway, the truce that still allowed for the killing of innocent Palestinian civilians ended on Friday morning. 

A key element of the truce was the release of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, who are essentially hostages, but “prisoners” makes them sound much nastier to the easily-fooled.

During this period some 240 Palestinians - including many innocent women and children held under administrative detention laws - were released, but a further 260 Palestinians were detained. 

So Israel’s side of the deal was an absolute sham from start to finish, which is no surprise considering their source for most of their atrocities is “trust me, bro”.

At least 1.8 million people of Gaza’s 2.3 million-strong population have been displaced by Israeli bombing, a majority of them having moved to the south. 

The continuation of Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing is likely to lead to an all-out ground assault of a dangerously over-crowded Southern Gaza, forcing four times the population of Manchester to push further South to the Egyptian border. 

The worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century isn’t going to get any better until a lasting ceasefire is in place. Then the occupation has to end, or we will be revisiting these scenes of devastating loss for generations to come. 

Antony Blinken, the U.S Secretary of State, urged Israeli leaders to take concrete steps to reduce civilian deaths in Gaza. The only concrete steps the Israeli government cares about are the ones they can bomb. 

The evil polyp Netanyahu is desperate for the continuation of genocide. Take a moment to read into the allegations of widespread corruption and you will understand why the deaths of children in Gaza is Netanyahu’s only defence against the litany of bribery, fraud and breach of trust charges hanging over his satanic head.

It’s not often I find myself aligning with Pope Francis, religion baffles me at the best of times. But when the head of the Roman Catholic Church is describing the attacks on Gaza as “terrorism”, it’s hard not to sit up and take notice.

Around 70% of Gaza has been destroyed. This startling figure is only going to increase in the coming days and weeks. 

Netanyahu has made his intentions perfectly clear. Gaza will belong to Israel, they even plan to rename parts of it. This is ethnic cleansing happening in 2023. If you don’t take a stand now you probably never will. 

Israel’s intention to permanently acquire parts of occupied Gaza once the death spree comes to an end is no longer a secret 

So many questions remain unanswered. How many Israeli civilians did the Israeli military slaughter on October 7th? How many Israeli hostages have the drones and warplanes killed during the relentless bombing of Gaza? 

I want to know what Israel has got to hide because I care about all humans, Israeli and Palestinians, because the desire for the wellbeing of your own family, friends, or even country has to be compatible with the welfare of all humanity.

If your only argument to justify the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians is Hamas whataboutery you have already lost the argument. 

We did our condemnation some time ago and I’ll be fucked if I am allowing any further condemnation to detract from the genocide that is unfolding on your social media apps in real time. 

Many Labour MPs were quick to point out how saddened they were by the continuation of the ‘hostilities’ in the Gaza Strip, on Friday morning. 

It’s too late for them now. They had a chance to vote for a ceasefire and put their names down on the right side of history, but the pro-Israel lobbyists that have infiltrated the Labour Party expect a return on their investments from time to time.

I’ll give you an example. Labour MP Lyn Brown said on her social media following the end of the truce: 

“I am appalled that the truce in Gaza has ended, and call for immediate action to support its restoration. The violence must stop to create space desperately needed for full humanitarian access, a permanent cessation of hostilities and urgent progress towards a two-state solution.” 

Lyn Brown abstained from voting for a ceasefire just a couple of weeks ago. She cannot erase that catastrophic error of judgement with a fucking Twitter post. Not a hope in hell. 

Up to the 28th November, Israel has completely destroyed 50,000 houses and damaged another 240,000 housing units. They have also totally flattened 88 mosques and damaged a further 174. 

But that’s not all. Israel have bombed 266 schools, 3 churches and 103 government offices and facilities, and most critically, 26 hospitals and 55 health centres are no longer operational. 

372 children were murdered in Gaza on December 1st and the overall death toll is now believed to be around 18,000. 

I go back to my earlier point about proportionality. This isn’t a proportionate response, this is turbo-charged ethnic cleansing and mass murder on an unimaginable scale. 

Israeli officials continue to openly discuss their plans for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. They’re not making any secret of their desire to burn the place to the ground and “thin out” the population, yet the Western powers continue to frame Israel’s barbaric acts of violent terror as a war against Hamas. 

Hamas is the excuse, not the target.

The Israeli military killed at least 14 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank during the so-called truce. This included 9-year-old and 15-year-old Palestinian boys, one of whom was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper. 

Finally, I will ask this question again. I still haven’t had an answer from the Zionist propagators of war, from MPs to defeated Hasbara employees, but I’ll try my luck. 

How many dead children is an acceptable number to you before you agree that it is time to stop the bombing of innocent children? 

20,000? 50,000? Maybe 100,000? At what point do you genocidal horrors say enough is enough? No more dead children?

The end goal, according to the Western powers, is to eradicate Hamas and return Gaza to the Gazan people. 

But you and I both know the end goal is the displacement and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people - what’s left of them after the Israeli war machine has no more bombs left to drop.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire. Water, food, and fuel shortages have impacted all aspects of daily life. 

Just over a month ago the charity Oxfam warned the world that “starvation was being used as weapon of war” against Gaza civilians. Can you even begin to imagine the crisis that has unfolded while the world sits on its fucking hands because they don’t want to upset Israel? 

The brief hiatus in the bombardment is over. The simple truth is that the Israeli ruling class is determined to finish what they have started by turning Gaza into a graveyard, largely made up of women and children.

Israel’s imperialist aggression cannot be answered with a military intervention, these unhinged maniacs sit on a stockpile of 90 nukes, but it can be answered in The Hague, because that is where the genocidal powers belong. 

Until next time,
