400 days of genocide... and what's coming is more dangerous
The days have been difficult, bitter and harsh for the citizens of the Gaza Strip due to the brutal Israeli aggression on Palestinian life, targeting its components and all its details. After 400 days of bombing, killing, destruction, starvation, displacement, arrests and abuse, the world is still without a conscience, despite the fact that things have reached the point of madness, in light of the horrific massacres committed by Israel against the Palestinians. However, this world cannot take a single bold decision to stop what is happening, because the ruler of the world, the United States, has an interest in the continuation of the Israeli war, and this explains the enormous volume of daily attacks carried out by Israel, because there is no deterrent party to stand in the face of the occupation, as everyone is complicit, and this is what gives it the green light to continue the war of extermination.
Every day, Israel commits heinous massacres, in which dozens are killed. The pretext it tries to hide behind, that it is targeting armed cells and activists, no longer convinces anyone. Despite this, it continues its campaigns of revenge against all aspects of life in the Gaza Strip, seeking to eliminate this life, targeting shelters and asylum centers, tents for the displaced, medical and health centers, and volunteers from relief organizations and institutions.
During the 400 days of war, Israel dropped tens of thousands of explosives on the Gaza Strip, which exceeded the Hiroshima atomic bomb by about five times, which led to the martyrdom of more than 43,554 citizens and the injury of more than 102,800, most of whom were women and children, as the numbers and data indicate.
Israel is not satisfied with killing and destruction, but rather seeks to continue its racist policy aimed at uprooting Palestinian civilians from the northern Gaza Strip and not returning them to their homes.
These practices constitute a serious violation of the laws of war, and are even real war crimes, in light of the war on a defenseless people. The idea has become clear, which means not allowing the citizens of northern Gaza to return to their homes and houses at all, within the framework of military decisions to deport them, and it has purely political dimensions, as indicated by statements by official spokesmen that suggest the intention to prevent the return of the Palestinians, and to evacuate and prepare the place for normalizing the idea of returning settlement to Gaza step by step, and this is what Israel has been planning for a long time, after thinking about returning settlements to Gaza became in the minds of officials, including ministers and officials, where it was previously limited to the margins of the settlers.
What is being planned for the next stage is undoubtedly very dangerous in all directions, especially the settlement issue, which must be fought by force, because it truly expresses a very long colonization and occupation. In addition, the continuous Israeli statements regarding the exchange deal are merely partial solutions, through which Israel seeks to obtain the detainees, and then continue and double the aggression, which is the trap that our people and their resistance reject.
