Apocalypse Now: Israel is Murdering Kids Again

Description

Israel has resumed its genocidal slaughter in Gaza while the western world, New Zealand included, tut-tuts at the murderous rampage but takes no action whatever to demand it end or apply accountabilities to the racist apartheid state. Israel has now slaughtered over 6,600 Palestinian children, the equivalent of all the children in 24 average-sized New Zealand primary schools.
 
This has never been a war on Hamas – Hamas remains largely unscathed. Instead it is a genocidal war on Palestinians with the goal of ethnically cleansing the entire Gaza strip by driving Palestinians out of Gaza and into the Sinai Desert so Israel can annex Gaza for Jewish settlements.
 
Similar ethnic cleansing is taking place in rural Palestinian communities across the Occupied Wast Bank where Israeli settlers, backed up by the Israeli military, are conducting pogroms against local Palestinians communities.

On Tuesday, Israeli forces stormed Khan Younis, the biggest city in southern Gaza. The IDF called the operation its most intense day of combat in over five weeks, with the assault killing dozens of Palestinians. The IDF is also staging operations in northern Gaza, including one in the Jabalia refugee camp. Over 80% of Gaza’s population is estimated to have been displaced by the conflict, with most heading to southern Gaza where the IDF’s efforts are now focused. Hamas claimed on Tuesday that Israeli attacks have killed over 16,000 people in Gaza, including over 7,000 children and almost 5,000 women.

Earlier this week, senior Israeli military officials confirmed reports that about 5,000 Hamas militants have been killed by the IDF since the October 7 attacks. This means that the other 11,000 deaths from the conflict have been civilians, a ratio of two civilians killed per one Hamas fighter. “If you compare that ratio to any other conflict in urban terrain between a military and a terrorist organization using civilians as their human shields, and embedded in the civilian population, you will find that that ratio is tremendous, tremendously positive, and perhaps unique in the world,” one IDF spokesperson told CNN.  I mean WTAF?

“We have said it repeatedly. We are saying it again. No place is safe in Gaza, whether in the south, or the southwest, whether in Rafah or in any unilaterally so-called ‘safe zone.” – United Nations Relief and Works Agency Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini
