Een videostill met 1 van de willekeurige Israëlische terreuraanslagen op Palestijnse burgers, zoals vaker door het vernietigen van auto's met inzittenden, in deze auto werden 3 Palestijnen vermoord.... Meestal wacht het inhumane psychopathische fascistenleger van Israël na zo'n aanslag tot er hulpverleners ter plaatse zijn en valt dan het doel nogmaals aan, een 'double-tap strike' noemt men dat, intussen is het al een paar keer gebeurd dat Israël dit nog een tweede keer herhaalt. Dat noemt men triple-tap strikes (3 aanvallen na elkaar) en er zijn zelfs quadruple-tap strikes gebruikt door de walgelijke terreurstaat Israël (4 aanvallen na elkaar). Zo vermoordt Israël steeds meer artsen, verpleegkundigen en ambulance personeel >> medisch personeel dat toesnelt na dergelijke Israëlische terreuraanslagen..... Deze aanslag vond volgens Al Jazeera plaats op 18 juni 2026 >> sinds de laatste 'wapenstilstand' in Gaza heeft het Israëlische leger (IDF) daar meer dan 1.000 Palestijnen vermoord.* Men durft een dergelijke terreuraanslag op het internet een 'militaire tactiek' te noemen, hoogstwaarschijnlijk om dat vooral Israël dergelijke uiterst smerige en laffe aanslagen gebruikt......
In het hieronder opgenomen artikel geeft Jonathan Cook een korte geschiedenis over hoe de zionisten in Palestina al voor 1948 tegen de Palestijnen zijn tekeergegaan met massamoord, verkrachting, etnische zuivering en zelfs met ontzegging van voldoende voedsel en (schoon) water.... Alles gepaard gaande met enorme vernietigingen van huizen, openbare gebouwen als ziekenhuizen, medische posten, moskeeën, kerken, boomgaarden en akkers.... Dit alles diende en dient 1 doel >> het leven onmogelijk maken voor de Palestijnen zodat ze wel moeten vluchten naar de buurlanden, een vlucht uit hun land dat nog steeds Palestina zou moeten heten.... Actie van westerse regeringen op deze barbarij >> nul komma nada, zelfs niet 1 sanctie tegen de genocidale fascistische staat Israël.....
Vorige week woensdag (17 juni 2026) op Deutschlandfunk radio voor 12.00 u. aandacht voor de verwoestijning van Jordanië, waar dit werd toegeschreven aan de klimaatverandering. Men stelde onder andere dat de rivier de Jordaan is verworden tot een beekje, dus bijna is drooggevallen. Niets maar dan ook helemaal niets over het enorme gebruik van water door de 'kolonisten' van de illegale Israëlische nederzettingen, waar men het grootste deel van het Jordaanwater misbruikt voor zwembaden en voor het verbouwen van groente en fruit, dit wordt op zo'n manier gedaan dat de Palestijnen en hun boeren, die op de West Bank (de westelijke Jordaanoever) wonen, toevoer van water nodig hebben middels tankwagens......
De zogenaamde Israëlische kolonisten, zonder meer fascistisch geteisem, vernielen en dempen bovendien keer op keer de waterbronnen die de Palestijnen nog hebben, eenzelfde terreur die eerder werd toegepast door zionisten in de Gazastrook..... Je maakt mij niet wijs dat de correspondenten van Deutschlandfunk en andere reguliere westerse media geen weet hebben van deze walgelijke terreur, dit wordt in het overgrote deel van de reguliere eenzijdig berichtende westerse media dan ook met opzet verzwegen om de haat tegen deze zionistische kolonisten niet verder aan te jagen!! Kortom een typisch voorbeeld van desinformatie, want ook het onthouden van informatie moet worden gezien als desinformatie!!
De genocide op de Palestijnen in de Gazastrook is de 'kroon is op het moorddadige werk' van het Israëlische fascistenleger (IDF), die genocide werd ingeleid door de uitbraak op 7 oktober 2023 van strijders behorend tot verzetsgroep Hamas (een uitbraak uit het in 2023 in feite al decennialang bestaande concentratiekamp Gaza). Een uitbraak waar Israël, met hulp van de eenzijdig berichtende reguliere westerse media en het grootste deel van de westerse politici, enorm over heeft gelogen >> zo is de helft van de slachtoffers gemaakt door het Israëlische leger door gebruikmaking van de zogenaamde Hannibal-richtlijn >> Israëlische burgers die in handen waren van Hamasleden moesten worden gedood, zodat Hamas ze niet kon gebruiken als 'wisselgeld' bij onderhandelingen....**
Overweldigend bewijs dat Netanyahu de aanvallen van 7 oktober 2023 heeft gepland. '7 oktober 2023: Israël was van te voren op de hoogte van de Hamas aanvallen. Plus de 22 nieuwe nederzettingen' (!!!!) (29 mei 2025) En zie:
De leugen dat Hamas zich zou hebben beschuldigd aan massaverkrachtingen werd al snel na 7 oktober 2023 naar het land van de fabelen verwezen en ook het vermoorden van 40 baby's door leden van Hamas is een enorme leugen.... Sterker nog: het is juist het Israëlische leger dat een enorm aantal kinderen, waaronder heel veel baby's, heeft verminkt en vermoord!! Actie van westerse regeringen op deze barbarij >> nul komma nada, zelfs niet 1 sanctie tegen de genocidale fascistische staat Israël..... Uitermate schunnig dan ook dat de reguliere westerse media, in het bijzonder die in Duitsland, blijven volhouden dat Hamas 1.200 Israëliërs heeft vermoord op 7 oktober 2023, waarbij men 'als je een beetje geluk hebt' (ahum) men de andere leugens over die dag herhaalt.....

Held

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s appeal has been rejected. He faces brutal
torture, starvation, and denial of medical care.
The Israeli
occupation continues to punish and exact revenge on Dr. Abu Safiya for
saving lives during the genocide in Gaza. International humanitarian law
provides doctors and medical personnel with protection in war and
conflict zones, but it failed to protect Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh—who was
tortured to death in Israeli prisons—Dr. Abu Safiya, and dozens of
others currently languishing in Israeli dungeons.
Every minute counts before Dr. Abu Safiya meets the fate of Dr. Adnan Al-Burs
Dr Hussam Abu Safiya is 1 van de vele specialisten, artsen en andere verpleegkundigen, die het slachtoffer zijn van de Israëlische wil om de gehele gezondheidszorg van de Palestijnen te vernietigen..... Deze Palestijnen worden in gevangenschap gemarteld, verkracht en vermoord, waarbij dat laatste >> moord op deze specialisten, artsen en verpleegkundigen zowel in gevangenschap gebeurt als in het openbaar (zoals aanvallen op ambulances, ziekenhuizen en medische posten....).... Actie van westerse regeringen op deze barbarij >> nul komma nada, zelfs niet 1 sanctie tegen de genocidale fascistische staat Israël.....
Hier een kort bericht van Drop Site Daily (15 juni 2026) met een getuigenis van dr. Hussam Abu Safiya's zus over diens slechte gezondheidstoestand: Sister of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyah says he lost half his body weight in detention: Samahir Abu Safiyah told Drop Site News that her brother, pediatrician and Kamal Adwan Hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyah, appeared unrecognizable when he was brought before the Israeli High Court this week after more than 500 days in detention without charge. Family lawyers reported he has lost roughly half his body weight, suffers deteriorating eyesight, contracted scabies, and remains held in solitary confinement at Nafha Prison. Dr. Abu Safiyah, who continued treating patients at Kamal Adwan after Israeli forces killed his son in 2024 described his imprisonment to the court as “unjust and arbitrary,” while his sister said bruises visible on his hands and his aged appearance indicated torture. “His only crime was staying in the hospital for the sake of the children, the injured, and the wounded,” Samahir said, calling on the world to demand his immediate release. Her interview is here. Nogmaals >> actie van westerse regeringen op deze Israëlische barbarij tegen Palestijnse specialisten, artsen en verpleegkundigen >> nul komma nada, zelfs niet 1 sanctie tegen de genocidale fascistische staat Israël.....
Om de Palestijnen de nek om te draaien, wordt deze bevolking niet alleen elke beschutting tegen de verschillende weersomstandigheden ontzegd, maar worden de Palestijnen ook uitgehongerd, gedehydrateerd, gemarteld, verkracht en vermoord....... Terwijl een goede gezondheidszorg juist nu van het grootste belang is, werd een groot deel van de ziekenhuizen en medische posten al vernietigd door het barbaarse genocidale Israëlische leger, ofwel de Palestijnse gezondheidszorg is en wordt vernietigd om de genocide op deze mensen te vervolmaken..... En ook hier weer >> actie van westerse regeringen op deze Israëlische barbarij >> nul komma nada, zelfs niet 1 sanctie tegen de genocidale fascistische staat Israël.....
Vorige week vrijdag (19 juni 2026) werd bekendgemaakt dat de EU nog meer sancties oplegt aan Rusland, terwijl wat er in Oekraïne gebeurt zelfs niet in de buurt van de schaduw kan staan van wat Israël flikt in de Gazastrook, op de West Bank, in Libanon en in Syrië.... De reguliere westerse media en het overgrote deel van de westerse politici, denktanks en zogenaamde deskundigen doen hun uiterste best om voor te stellen dat wat er in Oekraïne gebeurt, veel erger is dan wat Israël flikt in de Gazastrook, op de West Bank, in Libanon en in Syrië...
Opvallende gelijkenis tussen Israël en Oekraïne >> beide landen zijn fascistische staten, die zwaar worden gesteund door het westen, tevens worden in beide landen minderheden zwaar onderdrukt, wat zelfs doorgaat tot het vermoorden van leden behorend tot die minderheden, zoals de etnische Russen in Oekraïne en de Palestijnen in Palestina (Israël)..... Daarbij kan je Israël al lang geen democratie meer noemen en Oekraïne is dat niet meer sinds de door de CIA georganiseerde en geregisseerde coup tegen de democratische gekozen regering Janoekovytsj van 2014.... (voorafgegaan door opstand van 2013, die ook werd georganiseerd door de CIA) Deze opstand en coup heeft de VS gefinancierd met 5 miljard dollar, het geld daarvoor maakte Killary Clinton vrij toen zij nog minister van BuZa was onder Obama, de laatste is de in bloed gedrenkte 'Nobel vredesduif....' Bewijzen daarvoor kan je vinden in WikiLeaks. In Oekraïne zijn sinds 2014 de grootste oppositiepartijen verboden, zijn vakbonden verboden en mogen journalisten en media alleen schrijven en publiceren wat in het straatje past van de Zelensky-junta, meerdere journalisten zijn vermoord in Oekraïense gevangenschap zoals een journalist uit de VS***).... En dan mogen ook wij meebetalen voor het zogenaamd verdedigen van de 'vrijheid en democratie' in Oekraïne >> lees: de niet bestaande vrijheid en democratie in Oekraïne..... TE ZOT VOOR WOORDEN!!
Vorige week grote ophef in het westen over de 'drone aanval' op een Oekraïens klooster en kathedraal, waarbij het maar de vraag of dit gebeurde middels een Russische drone en zo ja of deze werd neergehaald boven bewoond gebied, verder kan het ook gaan om een false flag operatie van het Oekraïense leger. In Oekraïne en het westen schreeuwde men het bijna uit dat dit een aanval was op het westerse christelijke geloof, waarbij de ouderdom van het klooster en de kathedraal werd aangevoerd als een nog zwaardere aanklacht tegen Rusland. Dat het Israëlische leger in Zuid-Libanon monumenten en gebouwen van duizenden jaren oud vernielt en wel zo dat herbouw amper mogelijk is, waar niets mag herinneren aan deze bebouwing zoals de stad Tyrus die 2.700 jaar voor christus al bestond..... Amper of niets over deze meer dan schunnige verwoestingen in de westerse media. In het programma MAX Nieuwsweekend van afgelopen zaterdag (20 juni 2026) haalde de enorme nitwit presentator van der Wielen het beschadigde klooster aan, waarbij hij deed alsof het van de kaart was geveegd, wat allesbehalve het geval is. Hij kwam hiermee daar men een gast had die oude gebouwen digitaliseert, waarmee men ook eventuele herbouw zou kunnen realiseren..... Geen woord over de enorme vernielingen die Israël heeft aangericht en aanricht in Zuid-Libanon...... Kijk als het nu Rusland was geweest die in Zuid-Libanon tekeer was gegaan, had de neoliberale sufferd van der Wielen daar de volle aandacht voor gehad.....
Op Deutschlandfunk (radio) deze maand veel aandacht voor het bericht dat de EU onder andere op voorspraak van de Duitse minister van binnenlandse zaken Dobrindt (een ploert van de fanatiek rechtse 'christelijke partij' CSU) tijdens een EU bijeenkomst in Luxemburg een pleidooi heeft gehouden om alle gevluchte Oekraïners terug te sturen naar Oekraïne, althans de mannen die volgens de Zelensky-junta moeten dienen in het Oekraïense leger, daar men een gebrek heeft aan kanonnenvlees..... Mensen die juist mede gevlucht zijn vanwege de Zelensky-kliek en het niet eens zijn met de NAVO-oorlog tegen Rusland die in Oekraïne wordt bevochten...... (Zelensky zelf is vele miljoenen rijker geworden van schimmige zaken tijdens de oorlog.....) Oekraïne krijgt weer meer financiën voor oorlogstuig van de Europese NAVO-lidstaten zo is vorige week besloten, onder andere uit door ons betaald belastinggeld, terwijl Oekraïne dit oorlogstuig ook gebruikt voor oorlogsvoering in Afrika en een deel direct verkoopt aan de hoogste bieder in het buitenland, maakt niet uit wie..... Nederland heeft deze maand besloten voor 500 miljoen aan wapens en munitie te leveren....
Vorige week dinsdag (16 juni 2026) op WDR 5 radio na 13.00 u. een fikse portie anti-Russische propaganda (wat dagelijks gebeurt op de Duitse nieuwszenders). Een figuur van het NAVO defensie college in Rome met een pleidooi voor toetreding van Oekraïne en Moldavië tot de EU, wat de 'would be' keizerin van de EU, von der Leyen, wenst (terwijl ze al een paar jaar geleden liet weten voorstander te zijn van een Europees leger, ofwel zo kan ze via een omweg toch militairen uit de EU-NAVO-lidstaten in Oekraïne stationeren).... De vrouwelijke figuur van het NAVO college stelde dat Oekraïne goed op weg is om de corruptie te bestrijden, terwijl vorig jaar nog een enorm corruptie schandaal aan het licht kwam, dat toevallig net bij Zelensky stopte.... ha! ha! ha! ha! (al bij zijn aantreden beloofde Zelensky de corruptie hard aan te pakken >> dat is meer dan 7 jaar geleden) Volgens de oorlogszuchtige dame van het 'NAVO-college' is meer dan 60% van de Oekraïners voor toetreding tot de EU.... ha! ha! ha! Benieuwd wie dit heeft laten onderzoeken en hoe de vraagstelling was..... Dezelfde dame kwam uiteraard weer met de leugen dat Rusland de rest van Europa wil aanvallen, wat totaal belachelijk is, immers het Russische leger kan niet tippen aan het Europese NAVO-leger!! Ofwel weer veel angst- en haatzaaierij voor resp. tegen Rusland middels desinformatie.....

How Israel planned the Gaza genocide decades ago
In October 2023, Israel found an excuse to breathe new life into an old story of slaughter and expulsion. The chief differences this time have been of scale and duration
[First published by Middle East Eye]
The truth slowly comes to light: Israel‘s genocide in Gaza was planned decades ago.
Listen to the testimonies of four Israeli soldiers who served in Gaza.
Soldier 1: “Human lives didn’t matter. You could kill, there was no law. No one would say a word to you. But it’s not a good feeling. It mainly kills your humanity.”
Soldier 2: “At first I wasn’t willing to execute Arabs who weren’t resisting [that is, civilians]. Then we came to the conclusion that we had to kill. We went through the process of ceasing to see them as human beings.”
Soldier 3: “We caught guys, lined them up and eliminated them. In retrospect, it looks like murder.”
Soldier 4: “We would roam through refugee camps in Gaza and carry out purges... Every soldier who was there created a ‘concentration camp’, and they didn’t hesitate to kill people who caused a slight disturbance.”
No, these testimonies are not new. The whistleblowers did not serve in Gaza during the current, ongoing genocide there. These accounts are nearly 60 years old, published last week by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz under the headline “We were ordered to kill”.
Israeli soldiers interviewed shortly after the 1967 war – often referred to as the Six-Day War – not only confessed that they and others routinely committed war crimes but they pointed out that they did so under orders from their commanders.
The accounts were compiled into a book, The Seventh Day: Soldiers Talk About the Six-Day War, by Avraham Shapira, though many testimonies were not included because they were too shocking.
None of this should be simply of historical interest. These accounts are a vivid reminder that what Israel has been doing during its current, near three-year destruction of Gaza – levelling all homes, hospitals, schools, universities, bakeries and government offices; murdering tens of thousands, more likely hundreds of thousands, of Palestinian civilians; and blocking aid and starving the population – is part of a decades-old pattern of Israeli military conduct.
Nothing “started” on 7 October 2023, when Hamas broke out for a single day of the Gaza “concentration camp” – the plight of Gaza’s Palestinians noted 59 years ago by Soldier 4.
Rather, Israel found an excuse that day to breathe new life into an old story, one in which it has been slaughtering and expelling Palestinians for decades. The chief difference this time is simply one of scale and duration.
Washington and other western capitals have given Israel the time and space to finish in Gaza what, earlier, it had only been able to achieve in part. Israel’s much greater firepower today, provided by modern munitions supplied by the United States, has allowed Israel to realise what before it could only dream of doing: wiping Gaza off the map.
Starvation policy
The whistleblowing soldiers of 1967 admitted their job was not to “fight the enemy” – or “eradicate the terrorists”, as Israeli leaders now term it. It was to kill and terrorise Palestinian civilians under cover of war.
Few soldiers were shy of saying why they were committing atrocities. Their task was to create a reign of terror, integral to Israel’s efforts to expel as many Palestinians as possible from the last remaining parts of the Palestinian homeland, the territories captured by the Israeli military in 1967 and then illegally occupied.
This was seen as a new opportunity to complete the ethnic cleansing campaign begun by Zionist militias in earnest in 1947 and 1948 as the British Mandate authorities withdrew from Palestine. By the end of that campaign, some 80 percent of Palestinians had been expelled from their homes inside the borders of the newly declared Jewish state.
Many ended up in refugee camps in neighbouring states such as Lebanon and Syria. But some fled into the surviving pockets of historic Palestine in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza – the 22 per cent of their homeland that had been shielded from further Israeli advances in 1948 by Jordan and Egypt.
The 1967 war was seen by the Israeli leadership as a second bite of the cherry: a chance both to seize and colonise all of historic Palestine through military occupation and the establishment of Jewish militia settlements, and to expand the ethnic cleansing operation to rid historic Palestine of its native inhabitants.
Weeks after Israel seized the Palestinian territories, the prime minister of the time, Levi Eshkol, told his cabinet where the expulsions must begin. “We are interested in emptying out Gaza first,” he said.
Given international pressures, he was clear that the ethnic cleansing of Gaza would need to proceed by stealth, so as to attract less attention. Foreshadowing Israel’s 16-year siege of Gaza that started in 2007, he proposed that Palestinians could be forced out of Gaza “precisely because of the suffocation and imprisonment” Israel was imposing there.
The ethnic cleansing programme could be hastened, he suggested, by depriving the population of essentials like water. “Perhaps if we don’t give them enough water, they won’t have a choice, because the orchards will yellow and wither.”
In this spirit, 40 years later, Israel would go on to calculate the minimum number of calories to allow into Gaza so that the people there would grow steadily more malnourished. Or as senior government adviser Dov Weisglass explained in 2006: “The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger.”
Seventeen years after Gaza was forced on to its “diet”, when Hamas briefly broke out of the enclave, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his generals seized their moment.
They destroyed those “orchards” and transformed the “diet” into a full-blown starvation blockade – a crime against humanity for which Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, are wanted by the International Criminal Court.
Targeting innocents
The crimes of 1967 were understood long ago by Palestinian historians, who were, of course, not listened to. Israeli historians took much longer to start piecing together the story as they gained access to parts of Israel’s military archives.
Haaretz’s new investigation, based on research by the Akevot Institute, provides details of the ruthlessness of the mass expulsions of Palestinians beginning in 1967.
As the paper reports: “The historical inquiry shows that Israel expelled and drove out some 300,000 Arabs from the West Bank, Gaza and the [Syrian] Golan Heights. And as in 1948, the expulsion included killing civilians, sowing terror in Arab communities, looting and ultimately, destruction.”
Having managed in 1967 to again expel large numbers of Palestinians, the next task – as in 1948 – was to prevent their return.
Uri Avnery, a journalist and member of the Israeli parliament, recorded testimonies from soldiers stationed at the borders with Jordan and Egypt, into which Palestinians had been expelled. The soldiers’ job was to murder any Palestinian families trying to get back to their homes.
Here is one soldier’s testimony, reported by Haaretz, that Avnery noted in his autobiography:
We blocked these crossings and received orders to shoot to kill, without prior warning. Indeed, such shots were fired every night at men, women and children, even on moonlit nights when it was possible to identify those crossing. That is, to distinguish between men and women and children.
In the morning, we would go out to scan the area, and we would kill, by explicit order of the officer present, those who were alive, including those hiding and the wounded. After the killing was over, we would cover the bodies with dirt until a tractor arrived.
Today’s Israeli whistleblowers warn that this military doctrine is unchanged. Over the past three years, investigations have repeatedly shown Israel trying to conceal its crimes by secretly bulldozing its civilian victims into mass graves in violation of international law.
It did so, for example, when troops massacred Palestinians seeking aid a year ago, and again when soldiers executed 15 Palestinian emergency workers in an ambush on ambulances in March 2025.
Another soldier troubled by the 1967 shoot-to-kill policy recalled a conversation with his commander: “I asked the officer: And if I hear babies crying, should I shoot them too? The answer I received was: Don’t be a girl.”
There is nothing exceptional about this. Israel is known to have killed more than 1,000 babies in Gaza under the age of one since 7 October 2023, not all of them anonymously in strikes from the air.
The Israeli military allowed a group of five premature babies in al-Nasser hospital to die and decompose in their incubators after its soldiers took over the building in late 2023.
Israeli commanders also knew that the first to die from a blockade of aid would be the most vulnerable. Babies froze or starved to death as the population was deprived of shelter, baby formula and food, with their mothers lacking sufficient nutrition to produce milk.
As Soldier 2 noted, Israeli military doctrine encourages soldiers to stop seeing Palestinians, even Palestinian babies, as “human”. Their lives are considered worthless.
Israeli soldiers murdered another Palestinian baby last week in the West Bank, after they ambushed a car driven by a lecturer from Bethlehem university, Fahd Abu Haikal, in the Palestinian city of Hebron, which is under particularly brutal occupation.
One of the soldiers fired into the car, as it was slowing to a halt, from only a few metres away, from where he must have been able to see the passengers inside. The bullet killed Abu Haikal’s seventh-month-old baby, Sam, and wounded his wife, who was holding the infant. Abu Haikal’s 11-year-old son, also in the car, watched his baby brother bleed to death.
Israeli soldiers have been murdering Palestinian babies for decades. Yet none of it has roused an ounce of the outrage uniformly expressed by western media and politicians at Israel’s entirely fabricated claim that Hamas killed 40 babies on 7 October 2023.
In fact, only one Israeli baby was killed that day: nine-month-old Mila Cohen, who, like Sam Abu Haikal, was shot in her mother’s arms.
Squeezed out
Israel’s 1967 campaign of expulsions in Gaza and the West Bank was not improvised, nor was it done on the spur of the moment. According to Haaretz, the policy had been carefully planned many years in advance.
Since 1948, Israel had been waiting for a moment to carry out additional expulsions and seize the last parts of the Palestinian homeland, the territories it had been denied for the completion of its violent settler colonial project.
The 1967 war – against Egypt, Syria and Jordan – provided the pretext.
Ishai Amrami, a senior battalion commander in that war, later admitted: “This thing, which I experienced first hand, was an attempt at massive population transfer.”
As Haaretz observes: “The Palestinians were mere bystanders in this story. Defence Minister Moshe Dayan wrote in his memoirs that the Palestinians residing in the West Bank did not take part in the war, and that it was not their war. Nevertheless, they were the ones who paid its price.”
Israel began the mass destruction of Palestinian communities, as it had done after 1948, so there would be no homes for Palestinians to return to. But as Haaretz notes, Israel became a victim of its own rapid military success.
“This was one of the rare instances in the history of the conflict where Israel was forced to back down due to heavy international pressure.”
It hardly needs pointing out that, unlike 1967, such international pressure has been sorely missing over the past three years. The new cast of western leaders, like Britain’s Sir Keir Starmer, once a noted human rights lawyer, have justified Israel’s explicitly exterminationist agenda against the Palestinians of Gaza, terming it “self-defence”. (waarbij hij het aan de Palestijnen ontzeggen van water en voedsel blijkbaar rechtmatig vindt.....)
Unlike their predecessors in the 1960s, today’s western leaders and their media chose to buy Israel the diplomatic time and space it needed – as well as providing the weapons and intelligence – to destroy Gaza. The genocide would have been impossible without their assistance.
Buoyed by this impunity, Israel has tried to spread the destruction further afield, with limited success in Iran and much greater success in south Lebanon.
As western politicians and media happily forget Gaza, Israel keeps up the relentless pressure and misery there. A so-called “Yellow Line”, demarcating Israeli military control over the destroyed enclave, an area off-limits to Palestinians, has gradually expanded from half the land to 70 percent.
The people of Gaza are quite literally being squeezed out of the ruins of their homeland, as Israel scrambles to find a third country – Egypt, or perhaps Somaliland – willing to take them in.
Erasing context
As the US cosmologist Carl Sagan famously observed: “You have to know the past to understand the present.”
Which is precisely why western politicians and media have been so careful to strip out the past, excising the context and background, such as Israel’s violent ethnic cleansing campaigns of 1948 and 1967, that explain Israel’s behaviour in the present – in Gaza, the West Bank and south Lebanon.
Western audiences, deprived of the region’s history, have been more easily manipulated into believing that Israeli atrocities are a response – and a supposedly “proportionate” one, at that – to Hamas’ one-day attack on Israel in late 2023.
An obvious truth has been obscured: that for at least eight decades, Israel has been exploiting any opportunity it could find to expel the Palestinians from their homeland.
The October 2023 Hamas attack was not a turning-point or a rupture, as it is so often presented in the West.
In 1967 – that is, 56 years before the Hamas attack – Eshkol advised that unforeseen events might accelerate Israel’s stealthy programme of ethnic cleansing. A moment might arrive in the future – what he called an “unexpected luxury solution” – when Israel could rapidly realise its dream of a Palestinian-free Palestine.
“Perhaps we can expect another war, and then this problem will be solved. But that’s a type of ‘luxury,’ an unexpected solution,” he explained to the cabinet.
With the missing context added, as Israel’s Haaretz has done with its new article, the story is transformed.
The events of 7 October 2023 look less like simple savagery and more like a desperate, last-roll-of-the-dice response to decades of Israeli atrocities designed to make conditions for Palestinians so miserable – through pauperisation, confinement, starvation, and murder – that they either flee their homeland or die in situ.
With the missing context added, Israel’s supposed “retaliation” in Gaza – its genocidal rampage – looks like what it actually is: a continuation of its eight-decade ethnic cleansing campaign. In fact, its final instalment. Its denouement.
David Ben Gurion, Israel’s founding father, wrote to his son in 1937, 11 years before Israel’s creation: “We must expel the Arabs and take their places.”
In a diary entry during the mass expulsions of 1948, Ben Gurion summarised the mood among his generals: “If we accuse a family – we need to harm them without mercy. Women and children without mercy. Otherwise this is not an effective reaction. During the operation, there is no need to distinguish between guilty and not guilty.”
The goal was the weaponisation of fear, making Palestinians too terrified to remain in their homeland.
Mordechai Maklef, a senior commander in the fledgling Israeli army, noted two years later, in 1950, the logic behind Israel’s policy: “It is impossible to expel 114,000 people who lived in the Galilee without terror.”
Even if we ignore Palestinian accounts from those times, the small sections of the Israeli archives that have so far been opened to Israeli historians document massacres and systematic rapes of Palestinians in 1948.
In recent Israeli films such as Tantura – the village where a terrible massacre of Palestinians was carried out – old men who served as Israeli soldiers at the time confirm the archival documents, recounting how they personally witnessed Palestinian girls being raped.
Let us note that weaponised rape continues to this day - in what the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem calls Israel’s “network of torture camps”.
These rapes – now often using dogs specially trained for the purpose – are so widespread that they have become impossible to conceal. They have even come, very belatedly, to the attention of mainstream media like the New York Times, provoking a cacophony of protest and threats from Netanyahu to sue.
So routine is the sexual abuse of those Israel detains that international peace activists suffered systematic rapes when hundreds of them were seized last month in international waters off Cyprus, as they began their journey to Gaza to break Israel’s genocidal blockade.
Israel wants the fear to spread, from Palestine itself to anyone who wishes to show solidarity with its people.
Western politicians and the media have barely referred to these horrific crimes against their own citizens. Why? Because to acknowledge those crimes would be to concede that even worse atrocities are being meted out to Palestinians under Israeli rule.
Prisons of complicity
Gaza is not an aberration. It is fully in accord with an eight-decade-long Israeli military strategy. Westerners aren’t aware of that only because their political and media class have worked strenuously to stop them from learning about it.
If western publics knew what has really been happening to Palestinians for 80-plus years – first, from the Zionist movement and then from the Israeli state – they might swell further the ranks of the protest marches, making these demonstrations politically impossible to ignore.
If westerners knew what has really been happening to Palestinians, they might join activists who have been trying to incapacitate Israeli weapons factories, like Elbit Systems, operating quite openly in western countries such as Britain. They might, as a result, manage to smash the supply of drones and other weapons being used to massacre the people of Palestine and Lebanon.
Instead of thousands, there might be tens or hundreds of thousands of people willing to hold up a placard in the UK opposing genocide, and be arrested as a “terrorism supporter”, overwhelming the prison system and making a mockery of Britain’s supposed “justice” system.
Armed with knowledge rather dulled by ignorance, more westerners might board boats, amassing an armada that it would be impossible for the western media to disregard.
But most critically of all, were the real context understood – were Israel’s decades-long pattern of murdering, raping, and expelling Palestinians known – western publics might wake up to the fact that their political and media class are not moral actors. They are not upholding the values of a superior civilisation. They are not the guardians of international law and a democratic liberal order.
They are imposters. Or more accurately, they are working within political and financial structures that make it impossible to tell truths that would rock a system of power in the West that enriches a tiny elite through a lucrative war machine used to protect the gargantuan profits of the fossil fuel industries.
That system of power drives some Palestinians into an early grave, and others into concentration camps, or exile, or penury.
Meanwhile, it drives us in the West into prisons without physical walls – prisons either of ignorance and complicity, or of knowledge and impotence.
Either way, like Soldier 1, we find our humanity deadened. Our hearts are hardened or broken. The challenge we face is the same as the Palestinians: to find a path out of our confinement.

Hier een deel van de tekst >> Israel kills five, including two children, on Monday: At least five Palestinians, including two children, were killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Monday, according to WAFA. A nurse at Al-Shifa Hospital and his child were killed, and several others wounded, some critically, when an Israeli drone struck a home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City.The body of another child arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital alongside his wounded father, after Israeli forces opened fire on them Sunday and detained them in the Wadi al-Salqa area, central Gaza. A separate drone strike on Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killed one person, while a woman was killed earlier in the day in al-Zawaida. Israeli attacks on Gaza over the weekend: At least nine Palestinians were killed in continuing Israeli attacks across Gaza on Sunday, including a 15-year-old shot by Israeli gunfire east of Khan Younis, according to Shehab News. Six people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a warehouse near Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza on Sunday. An Israeli drone strike targeted a group of Palestinians southwest of Al-Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on Sunday, wounding at least three people Israeli settlers burn vehicles, attempt to set mosque ablaze near Ramallah: Israeli settlers attacked the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Sunday evening, setting fire to a vehicle and attempting to burn down a mosque, according to WAFA. Witnesses said settlers torched a vehicle parked near Al-Nour Mosque, causing material damage, before breaking the mosque’s doors and setting a fire at its entrance. Residents managed to extinguish the flames before they spread inside the building, while the attackers fled the area. The incident came shortly after another settler attack in the nearby town of Deir Dibwan, where two vehicles were burned and two others vandalized. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks, saying they were part of a “systematic Israeli policy” that uses “organized, daily terrorism” against Palestinians with the aim of displacing them from their land. Palestinian prisoner Imad Sarhan dies in Gilboa Prison: Imad Rajih Sarhan, 47, from Haifa, died in Israel’s Gilboa Prison after suffering a heart attack, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Affairs Commission and Palestinian Prisoners’ Club announced, saying years of torture, medical neglect, and repeated solitary confinement had left him with chronic heart and vascular disease, high blood pressure, and wheelchair dependency since his imprisonment began in 2001. The organizations said Sarhan is the 90th Palestinian prisoner to die since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza and the 327th documented death in Israeli custody since 1967, with rights groups describing Israel’s prison system as carrying out a policy of “slow executions” through torture, starvation, and medical neglect. More than 9,400 Palestinians remain held in Israeli prisons, including 4,640 without charge or trial.

'“They Stole Our Home and Our Life”: Israel Permanently Displaces Syrians in Quneitra ' (15 juni 2026) Een artikel van C.P. Ward, gepubiceerd op Drop Site News >> The Israeli military has taken over land in southwest Syria, expelled residents, demolished homes, built new military bases, and conducted arrest sweeps. Een artikel dat nog eens aangeeft dat Israël ook volkomen illegaal, ofwel tegen het internationaal recht in, delen van Syrië annexeert!! Toegevoegd op 17 juni 2026, de dag dat von der Leyen en haar fascistische bende besloten Rusland nog meer sancties op te leggen, terwijl ze na meer dan 2,5 jaar lang een genocide te hebben uitgevoerd niet 1 sanctie heeft opgelegd aan de dader >> de fascistische terreurstaat Israël, een staat die bovendien keer op keer buurlanden aanvalt......
'Sentencing the Innocent' (15 juni 2026) Een artikel van Craig Murray, gepubliceerd op Savage Minds over het vasthouden in opdracht van de Britse regering Starmer en tot terrorist verklaren van vreedzame demonstranten, die protesteerden tegen de Israelische genoicde op de Palestijnen >> The Filton Four Sentencing and Terror Laws, Civil Liberties and Judicial Power. Hier een deel van de tekst >> Judge Johnson had proved his fascist credentials through rulings much earlier in the Filton trial than his vicious sentencing. Indeed, he had arguably already shown them when he released Tommy Robinson from a prison sentence or when, as a barrister, he had chosen to work for the intelligence services and Ministry of Defence. But in his incredibly vicious sentencing, Johnson did something quite extraordinary. It was not just that he added a “terrorist connection” to the sentencing—a possibility deliberately kept secret from the jury. But in sentencing he recounted the prosecution version of events in its entirety to justify his sentences, including explicitly setting out all the details of the alleged violent disorder of which the defendants had been acquitted. In short, Johnson used the “terrorist connection” to ignore the ruling of the jury and sentence them as though they had in fact been found guilty of all the things that Johnson had systematically rigged the trial to try to get them found guilty of—and failed. The “terrorist connection” legislation is merely a part of an enormous slough of extreme, authoritarian UK legislation passed in recent years—including the Online Safety Act, the National Security Act and many others. It is bad enough in itself, as it defines as terrorism any illegal activity intended to “influence the government”—which makes all civil disobedience terrorism. But even within these broad powers, Johnson appears to have gone extraordinarily far in pursuit of his fascist agenda. But the six-year sentences given by Johnson—and by the look of him, that was the only sexual excitement he has ever experienced—having a terrorist connection are not eligible for parole. The activists will serve the full six years in jail: that is five times the length of sentence that might normally be expected in this case. And all to ensure that there is no interruption to Israel’s ability to commit genocide or Starmer’s complicity in it.
'The Issue of Israel Is Ending Democracy In Michigan' (12 juni 2026) Een artikel van Ryan Grim, gepubliceerd op Drop Site News. Hier een deel van de tekst, die handelt over het criminaliseren van demonstraties tegen de Israelische genocide in de Gazastrook >> DETROIT, Michigan—Slowly at first, and now all at once, Michigan has turned into the central battleground in the country’s war over the U.S. relationship with Israel—and the American public’s ability to debate it freely. Campuses across the country erupted in protest in 2024 against U.S. complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide, with crackdowns of various intensity rolling up encampments, disciplining students, and, in some cases, filing significant charges. Michigan’s law enforcement moved perhaps the most aggressively. When a local prosecutor in Ann Arbor declined to press felony charges on a group of protest organizers, state Attorney General Dana Nessel moved to take matters into her own hands. Now that those charges have been met with acquittals and dismissals, the federal government is stepping in to target them with felonies, announcing a sweeping indictment filed Wednesday against eight pro-Palestinian advocates.
