Israel has made no secret of it: it has embarked on a genocidal plan to “create conditions where life in Gaza becomes unsustainable.” And Joe Biden is its accomplice. Also: Those refusing to denounce this genocide – history will not judge them kindly.
Like today’s Gaza, Guernica was reduced to massive rubble shrouding innocent civilians whose flesh, blood, bones, and sinews cloaked the bleak landscape of rubble, rebar, and crater-size pocked apocalyptic destruction where once high-rise structures, streets, and alleyways existed.
The bombardment of Palestinians in Gaza continues. Amongst the dead are many of Palestine’s painters, poets, writers, and sculptors. One of the striking features of Palestinian life over the past 76 years since the Nakba of 1948 has been the ongoing richness of Palestinian cultural production.
The ruling by the International Court of Justice was a legal victory for South Africa and the Palestinians, but it will not halt the slaughter.
In past wars, Israel was able to establish buffer or security zones inside enemy territory. But Tel Aviv’s adversaries have flipped the map today, forcing the occupation state to evacuate its own borders — perhaps permanently.
‘100 Days of War and Resistance: Legendary Palestinian Resistance Will Be Netanyahu’s Downfall’; ‘Israel’s War on Palestine and the Global Upsurge Against It’; ‘Hundreds of Thousands March for Gaza as World Demands Cease-Fire’.
‘Genocide in Gaza’; ‘International Court of Justice Hears Devastating Presentation of Israeli Genocide in Gaza’; ‘Why We Have to Make the Jewish Ghetto Comparison’.
There is no back door or side door that will lead to peace between the Arab World and Israel that does not lead through Palestine.
The dramatic events in Palestine starting on October 7 have taken many people by surprise. The reason is the tendency to pay close attention to political discourses and intelligence analyses of Israel and its supporters – while largely neglecting the Palestinian discourse.
The amount of destruction brought upon the people of Gaza, unseen since 1948, suggests one thing: Israel’s clear intention to depopulate Gaza, a plan that Tel Aviv tried to implement in the past but has never succeeded at. Also: A Gaza Poem dedicated to Gaza’s little angels – in heaven, and here on earth.
