"On 10 October, following two years of Israeli genocide that have turned Gaza into the new benchmark of total destruction, after Israel has killed and injured hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and inflicted on all the people in Gaza severe bodily or mental harm, to quote from the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Trump administration imposed a ceasefire, giving rise to the idea that the Gaza war has ended."
"The enemy in Gaza, he continued, are not the terror tunnels, the enemy in Gaza are not the missiles, the enemy in Gaza are not even the terrible people who took the hostages; the enemy in Gaza is the idea of a genocide, the same idea that echoes in mosques all around Europe, the same idea that echoes in mosques in the US, in campuses, in encampments, the same idea, this is the enemy."
On 10 October a ceasefire was imposed after two years of devastating Israeli attacks that transformed Gaza into extensive destruction and caused hundreds of thousands of Palestinian casualties and severe bodily or mental harm. The ceasefire appeared oriented toward facilitating Middle Eastern business deals rather than genuinely ending violence. Israeli forces continued assaults after 10 October, killing and injuring hundreds, destroying thousands of homes and buildings, and blocking sufficient aid. Genocidal rhetoric continued, exemplified by a Knesset member’s 28 October speech framing Gaza as an ideological enemy to be defined and destroyed, with that idea said to echo across mosques and campuses.
