"Israel's two-year pulverizing of Gaza has accelerated the world's becoming a place where dystopian thinking reigns supreme and we are asked to turn our entire moral compass upside down day after day. No, systematically slaughtering Palestinians is not self-defense, much as the global mainstream media, politicians, and proponents of genocide want you to believe. Ruthlessly flattening entire communities, hospitals, homes, schools, and religious sites is not an intricate and forensic hostage retrieval operation."
"Gaza has become a place where no human can exist. It's what Israeli officials promised, and they stuck to the task with cold-blooded meticulousness. Now US President Donald Trump, who has continued his predecessor Joe Biden's policy of arming and facilitating the carnage, claims to have suddenly dreamed up the solution to the slaughter he is helping cause. On Monday, he unveiled a 20-point so-called "peace plan" in an appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
Israel's two-year military campaign has devastated Gaza, destroying communities, hospitals, homes, schools, and religious sites while causing mass civilian casualties and displacement. Bombing occurs regularly, creating widespread starvation, displacement, and the highest global rate of child amputees. The campaign functions as deliberate annihilation rather than a traditional war or hostage-recovery operation. Global media, politicians, and leaders, including the US, enable and justify the violence. Proposed solutions from Western leaders are described as technocratic and Orwellian, such as a plan placing Gaza under a temporary committee and labeling it a 'de-radicalized' zone, while continued arms transfers perpetuate the carnage.
