Omer Bartov, a leading historian on genocide, states that the current situation in Gaza is unprecedented. He claims that about 70% of the structures in Gaza are severely damaged or destroyed. Bartov criticizes the IDF's actions, asserting that it is not a war but rather massive demolition. He points out the insufficient mainstream media coverage, which is hindered by foreign reporter restrictions and violence against Palestinian journalists. Despite this, the destruction remains largely unreported, with ads seeking bulldozer drivers to assist in demolitions appearing on social media.
Recent estimates show that about 70% of the structures in Gaza are either completely destroyed or severely damaged, Bartov says. This is not a secret, but mainstream media coverage has been insufficient.
Part of the reason that mainstream coverage has been insufficient is because reporting about what's happening in Gaza is difficult: foreign reporters are still not allowed into Gaza to see what is happening for themselves and Israel is slaughtering Palestinian journalists on the ground.
The argument that the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] is conducting a war in Gaza is simply cynical; there is no war in Gaza. What the IDF is doing in Gaza is demolishing it.
The Israeli military is so desperate for extra bulldozers that, over the last couple of months, there have been ads for bulldozer drivers to help demolish Gaza posted on Facebook.
