Recently, I facilitated an online interview with a survivor of Al-Dawayima massacre, perpetrated by the Israeli army on October 29, 1948. The survivor, Abu Bassam, who was ten years old at the time, described in painful detail how his parents and brother were killed and how he was injured and barely survived. Suffice it to say that the Israeli army’s 8^th armored brigade murdered hundreds of Palestinians, smashing the skulls of children with sticks, blowing up houses with people inside them, committing widespread rapes and more.

Of course, Al-Dawayima was not an isolated event, as "Israel" perpetrated other massacres both before and after, including in the Gaza Strip. The November 1956 slaughters in Khan Younis and Rafah come to mind, along with those in Rafah in 2004, followed by others in February-March of 2008, prior to "Israel’s" Cast Lead operation in December of that year. (Tragically and unbelievably, these atrocities pale in comparison to the genocide "Israel" is currently committing.)

The point is that, if one properly researches countless dates in history for the past 100+ years prior to October 7^th, 2023, such news can be found. Yet Western propagandists and politicians would rather believe, or rather have you believe, that history began on that date. [Note: 100+ years - The amount of time the Zionist project has been trying to defeat the Palestinian people, and failing miserably.]

On October 7, 2023, the heroic Palestinian Resistance broke out of the concentration camp of Gaza, and struck back after decades of crimes perpetrated against the Palestinians, including horrendous acts of torture still ongoing against thousands of Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons, such as sexual abuse of child detainees. Any young Resistance fighter that day born prior to 2006 had already witnessed a 17-year old debilitating siege on Gaza, along with brutal Israeli military assaults on the Strip in 2006 (Operation Summer Rains and Operation Autumn Clouds), 2008-2009 (Operation Cast Lead), 2012 (Operation Pillar of Defense), 2014 (Operation Protective Edge), 2021 (Operation Guardian of the Walls) and 2022 (Operation Breaking Dawn), that killed and maimed thousands, with much other untold suffering.

In line with its longstanding policy of targeting innocent civilians, particularly children, "Israel" timed its 2008 onslaught so that its warplanes started dropping tons of bombs just as hundreds of thousands of Gazan children were out in the streets, during the transition between school shifts. One can only imagine, or rather one most likely cannot even imagine the horrors that these fighters witnessed throughout their childhoods, just as one cannot truly fathom the hell-on-earth that the children of Gaza are enduring right now.

The question that then arises is: What was "Israel" expecting?! And what was the world expecting? As Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar stated in a Vice interview in June 2021: "Are we supposed to play the well-behaved victims to be slaughtered without making a noise?" Did "Israel" truly believe that it could indefinitely get away with its crimes against the Palestinians? Did it actually expect the Palestinians to "play the well-behaved victims" and silently die into the night?!

Once again, we see the images of children with their limbs blown off, or under the rubble screaming, or crying over their family and friends killed in the most horrific way such as being deliberately crushed to death by tanks, or worse. The pain they have felt and seen is indescribable and beyond what any human can endure. So do not blame them and the rest of the Palestinians, when they seek revenge. And do not blame us when we seek revenge for them. Do not blame them, when tomorrow, they engage in martyrdom operations -or what the West calls suicide bombings- against those who sadistically and gleefully practiced these horrors against them.

Thus, it is unsurprising that Abu Obeida, the spokesperson of the Al-Qassam Brigades, stated on July 7 that the brigades have replenished their ranks with thousands of new recruits. Hell, if I was in Gaza now and still alive and able, the first thing I would be doing is join the Resistance against "Israel" too. (Even Israelis such as former PM Ehud Barak and former Shin Bet director Ami Ayalon have admitted they would have joined the Resistance if they were in Palestinians’ shoes.) What is different this time, however, is that "Israel", has descended to levels of barbarity and inhumanity beyond what anyone could have ever imagined. In doing so, it has triggered a global response, recruiting people from all over the world to join the fight against it. Now, it’s not just the people of Gaza or Palestinians in general who seek justice for the atrocities committed against them, but also honorable people worldwide.

It must be kept in mind that all of these crimes and atrocities, culminating in this genocide would not have been possible without the mainstream media propagandizing and parroting the false Israeli narrative for decades, along with the despicable politicians who continue to support this genocide. So when revenge is sought, it must be exacted against everyone who aided and abetted these slaughters, whether they are politicians, propagandists, influencers, or others. These include the obvious ones, such as Genocide Joe and Bloody Blinken, but include many others such as Jake Sullivan ("We do not believe what is happening in Gaza is a genocide") and Lindsey Graham for example, who called for nuclear bombs to be dropped on the 2.3 million people of Gaza. Others include Matt Miller, Nir Muller, Stuart Seldowitz, Michael Rapaport, James Whale & Piers Morgan and Julia Hartley-Brewer (TalkTV), Dana Bash (CNN), and many more.

Do they all think that somehow they are invincible, untouchable or unreachable? Don’t they realize that once this global army of recruits begins its work, these vile, despicable, heartless, soulless individuals will be easily found and held accountable with the same level of mercy they showed towards the children of Gaza?

Anything less than this form of justice is no longer acceptable.
