While many focus on the events of October 7, 2023 as the catalyst for the Israeli aggression on Gaza, in reality this barbarous onslaught on the civilian population has been in the making since 1948.

The current state of "Israel" was created through acts of terrorism by the Haganah, the Stern gangs, and the Irgun.

Those who first promoted the idea of a country for Jews through the political ideology of Zionism, a form of Jewish nationalism in the late 19th century, were in the main atheistic and secular viewpoints, and they used the bible and the Torah as their justification for returning to their biblical roots, with the insane notion that God gave them the land of Palestine and that gave them the divine right to reside there.

Their mantra was: A land without a people for a people without a land.

This was around 1888 with the first Zionist congress held in Basel, Switzerland. Options other than Palestine considered included Argentina, Madagascar, and Uganda.

In 1916, during the first World War, Britain was on the verge of defeat.

The Germans had de facto won the war.

The proponents of Zionism offered the British a military lifeline in return for the British agreeing to create a Jewish state in Palestine. The Zionist movement would involve the USA in the war on their side.

America, up to this point, had played no direct part in the conflict and held an isolationist position.

In 1917, Britain signed the Balfour Agreement between Lord Rothschild on behalf of the Zionist movement and Lord Balfour on behalf of the British government.

America entered the war, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Ever since Jewish migration began in Palestine from 1902 onwards, the demographics and finally the geographic features of Palestine began to change.

1926 saw race riots in Jerusalem (Al-Quds).

1948 saw the self-declared "state of Israel" born on the broken bones, broken dreams, and broken lives of the indigenous population.

The Zionist Jews, in 1948, set about massacring the indigenous population, and even today soldiers of the era brag about how they machine-gunned villages and murdered the Palestinians at will.

They forcibly relocated over 750,000 Palestinians into neighboring countries such as Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.

This is all history, you might be saying, but in reality, the events unfolding in Gaza are a carbon copy of the Nakba, the Great Catastrophe of 1948, replicated in 1967 and now reinvested on defenseless men, women, and children of Gaza.

If this vicious, calculated destruction of the civil infrastructure and civilian population of Gaza was not occurring right now in front of our very eyes, believe me, it was all going to happen, and obligingly with the help of America the EU, and Britain, "Israel’s" supporters and facilitators in this genocide.

Israeli Zionism wants all of Palestine but without the Palestinian population.

2.4 million in Gaza.

3 million in the Occupied West Bank. 

2 million in historic Palestine, which some call "Israel".

"Israel" was born through terrorism, it has expanded through terrorism, and will continue to expand through terrorism, not only in Palestine, but in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan as well.

Just google the "Greater Israel" Plan. It only takes a moment to see the real and present danger "Israel" poses to its neighbours in the region.

25,000 dead.

100,000 injured.

10,000+ have died excruciating, suffocating deaths under the rubble. Even people using their bare hands while trying to free them were subject to more inhuman bombings.

90+ % of the dead were unarmed displaced civilians, men, women, and babies.

Make no mistake, "Israel" is not fighting Hamas. "Israel" is destroying Gaza in yet another ethnic cleansing campaign, to depopulate Palestine of its Palestinian people through the use of terrorism, the indiscriminate slaughter of innocents, carpet bombing, torture, humiliation, starvation, and the destruction of 80+ % of all residential homes.

The destruction of schools, hospitals, water/sewage treatment and desalinisation plants caused raw sewage to flow through the streets, fueling respiratory disease, skin, and gastrointestinal infections to murder more of the vulnerable citizens.

The Zionist right-wing fascist regime is now talking about occupying the Philadelphi Corridor.

A strip of land that is the border between Egypt and Gaza.

The Israeli military operation now seems much clearer.

They claimed to have subdued northern Gaza, where they have displaced most of the population.

They are now concentrating their attacks on central and southern Gaza.

The aim is to divide the enclave into three areas: Northern, Central, and Southern Gaza. 

If they occupy the Philadelphi Corridor in the South, then they will have effectively corralled 2 million people of Gaza into a tiny piece of land where they use hunger, disease, and thirst as weapons of mass destruction to demoralise and kill both the will to resist and the will to exist.

They will systematically murder their way through the population in order to end the legitimate resistance offered by the Palestinian Resistance groups, who are in reality national liberation forces.

The end game is the destruction of Gaza by any and all means necessary, the forced relocation of the people out from their lands and beachfront properties for Israeli Zionist Jews. 

2024 will witness further attacks in the occupied territories, with over 500 recorded murders in 2023 and thousands arrested, for no other reason than the colonisers want to destroy Palestinian heritage and culture and resistance.

History has come full circle, and I am sad to say that things are going to get worse before they get better.

With "Israel" claiming to perpetuate the war throughout 2024, we might well be counting not how many have died, but unfortunately how many have survived.
