Now responsible for the mass murder of around 22,000 Palestinians in Gaza, the Zionist entity has outperformed ISIS in human slaughter. Yes, the Israeli military, which tried to compare Hamas to ISIS, has actually committed an atrocity which makes the ISIS death toll seem tame.

The Zionist entity, within the space of two months, has killed around 22,000 people in the Gaza Strip (this statistic includes those buried under the rubble) and injured at least 41,000. In comparison, according to the United Nations, the ISIS insurgency in Iraq killed some 18,800 civilians in 2 years. Also pulling from the official UN statistics on the war in Syria, ISIS terrorists killed – between March 2011 and March 2023 - just north of 5,000 civilians. Although the statistics for Syria are questionable and it would appear to be much higher than this, we are still talking about a death toll that was inflicted over 12 years.

Some may argue that the nature of the ISIS terror campaign was somewhat more gruesome, due to the sheer scale of sexual violence, mass executions of ethnic/religious minorities and mutilation of bodies. Although there have been allegations of Palestinian female prisoners being raped by Israeli guards and there has been along history of sexual violence against Palestinians, it is true that we saw a larger scale of sexual violence when it came to the takfiri terrorists. However, what we have to keep in mind here is that we are now comparing a non-State actor and an entity which has been accepted as a UN member. 

According to the United Nations relief chief, Martin Griffiths, the humanitarian situation in the besieged Gaza Strip is “The. Worst. Ever.” A statement that should make any sane person's skin crawl. Some 80% of Gaza’s 2.3 million civilian population have been displaced due to the Israeli onslaught, at least 1.1 million of that population are children. Israeli officials made it very clear from the start of their genocidal campaign, they would be switching off the food, water, electricity, fuel and all other aid.

The Zionist entity has systematically targeted hospitals, ambulances, international aid workers, UN workers and facilities, along with mosques, shetlers and schools. The occupation forces have completely destroyed over half of the entire civilian infrastructure in Gaza. This is a war of extermination, a battle against what the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said was “Amalek”, a clear call to exterminate every man, woman and child in the Israeli army’s way. 

On the ground, the Israeli soldiers have behaved like animals, rummaging through women’s underwear, defacing and defecating in civilian homes, also stealing money and personal belongings, all while filming themselves doing it and laughing. Israeli forces have rounded up hundreds of civilians, stripping them into their underwear at gunpoint and leaving them humiliated and in the cold. Even prior to their ground invasion of Gaza, Zionist forces and their settlers, blindfolded, beat, urinated on and sexually assaulted Palestinian activists in the West Bank.

When it comes to the issue of Israeli prisoners of war, the entire world has been in uproar. Yet, there were only around 240 Israelis taken by the Palestinian resistance factions on October 7, while the Zionist regime has taken over 3,000 Palestinians captive since that time. The Palestinian prisoner issue has received not even a fraction of the attention that a few hundred Israelis received, around half of them soldiers, despite there being over 7,600 Palestinians being held captive by the Zionist regime. Since 1967, over 1 million Palestinians have been held in Israeli detention, this includes tens of thousands of children.

When looking to compare what the Zionists are doing to the people of Gaza, it is truly difficult to find a close comparison - in terms of the scale and intensity - in modern history, without going back to World War II. People have compared the Israeli war on Gaza to the bombing of Dresden, but we have now gotten to a point that has surpassed that level of destruction. Others have sought to compare the number of explosives dropped on Gaza, to the destructive force of the atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, yet the tonnage of explosives dropped on Gaza has far surpassed this too. When we turn to look at conflicts like Iraq, Syria and Yemen, we have to keep in mind that Gaza is not like entire countries, it's a tiny strip of land where everyone is completely locked in and never gets a break from the non-stop bombings and atrocities.

There is nothing that can truly compare to the scale of the Zionist entity’s atrocities in Gaza, it is a unique crime committed in all of human history. Attempting to compare it to other crimes against humanity is futile at this point. The evidence is all there for the world to see, the horrors are never ending and we have run out of accurate comparisons to draw. Even comparing what the Zionist regime is doing, to ISIS, is incorrect, because in terms of the death tolls, the Israelis are inflicting far more murder in a shorter period of time.

The Zionist regime constantly talks of its “right to exist”, well, any argument that it could once make as to why they needed to exist is gone. This racist entity has no right to exist whatsoever, they are an Apartheid regime that are committing the worst crimes against humanity, in terms of scale, that the world has seen in recent memory, all for the sake of quenching a thirst for revenge, so that they continue on their settler colonial projects quest to conquer and ethnically cleanse as much land as possible. That entire regime is a cancer, it must be dismantled and replaced with a democratic State where all peoples, Muslims, Jews, Christians, and others, can live in peace and enjoy full equality.

In a sane world, the Zionist regime would be completely dismantled and this racist tyranny would cease to exist, but instead we live in a world where there is no justice unless it is achieved by force. The atrocities committed against the people of Gaza have proven that there is no “rules-based order”, no “international community”, no “international law” and no “human rights”, we live in a world that is divided into two groups only, the powerful and the powerless. This is why the people of Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen, amongst others, have had to form their own indigenous resistance groups, because they have accepted that the only way they can protect their people is through becoming powerful. When you deal with an enemy who sees you as subhuman, who will not respect peace treaties, and has no limitations to the scale of the atrocities they will commit, you have to fight. The whole world let Gaza down, only the resistance factions are there to protect them, everyone else watched on and refused to take action.
