It was announced on December 1 that Israel’s genocidal bombing and ground attacks on Gaza had resumed. Contrary to media reports, this isn’t an Israeli-Hamas war, but rather it’s a genocidal attempt by Israel, backed by the Genocide Joe’s government, to drive Palestinians out of Gaza into the Sinai, killing as many as possible along the way.
This would reduce the Arab population by about 2.3 million, transforming the current Arab majority in historic Palestine in favor of an Israeli majority. It would prepare the way for finally driving out the Palestinian Arabs from the West Bank into Jordan — again killing as many as possible along the way. The Israeli leadership — not just Netanyahu — hopes that Israel will be consolidated as a nation-state much like the U.S., Australia, and Canada became nations after the genocide and apartheid of the native population. This has been the aim of the Zionist movement and its imperialist sponsors from the beginning of the modern Zionist movement.
Origins of the conflict
Let’s briefly review the process of how Israel was, in the words of Biden, “created.” Toward the end of the 19th century, capitalism was being transformed into monopoly capitalism based on free competition (not the perfect competition of neoclassical capitalist economists).
Here are the links. It appears that the 700 figure was from an early Haaretz report. Admittedly later they did revise upwards their figures. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-10-08/ty-article-live/over-250-israelis-killed-1-590-wounded-civilians-and-soldiers-held-hostage-in-gaza/0000018b-0cd2-d8fc-adff-6dfe855e0000 Here are a few articles linked to the Haaretz newspaper. https://voxpoliticalonline.com/2023/10/30/how-many-israelis-were-killed-on-october-7-again-and-how-many-were-children/ And for info on friendly fire casualties https://thegrayzone.com/2023/10/27/israels-military-shelled-burning-tanks-helicopters/ There are so many supportive incidents such as the IDF pulling all the photos of numerous burnt out cars which could only have been torched and torn apart by helicopter gunships firing 30mm rounds, or an Israeli government minister in Florida presenting evidence of burnt bodies only to have to pull that as well when it was pointed out this footage was reminiscent of hellfire strikes in Afghanistan, and so on.
We have clashed over previous issues such as Ukraine and the corrupt Biden family and over time I have been vindicated. Of course we should unite over the demand for an international call for an open enquiry into the events on the 7th October by independent researchers which at this point could only be led by the UN. I bet the Zionists would welcome such an enquiry.
