CROSSFIREARABIA – Israel can’t hide its atrocities in Gaza despite what its Zionist leaders say. One thing is laughable about the extreme rightwing led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is that they say they are going to fill up the Gaza Strip with Israeli settlers.
But the first problem is they need to win the war first. The Israeli army may be destroying and creating mayhem in Gaza but the Palestinian resistance is still there fighting on a daily basis with lots of weapons which Israel has not bargained for.
The only thing the Israeli army did in the past 14 months is to prove they are a bunch of destructive hooligans, involved in an orgy of killing and creating mass wreckage. Up till now the Gaza genocide has been killing and maiming spree of civilians of children, women, old women, pregnant women, men and old people.
Gaza, the afflicted, destroyed, wounded, hungry, orphaned, abandoned by its near and far, still stands alone, defending its honor and dignity and the honor and dignity of the nation. Gaza is the torch of freedom in the midst of the pitch darkness.

Israel has launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since 7 October, 2023, killing nearly 44,400 people whilst injuring over 105,000.
The war is still continuing, the Palestinian resistance groups lead by Hamas and Islamic Jihad and involving nationalist and leftist factions is still going strong in different parts of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army is finding it difficult even to control and subdue the starving Palestinian population.
A case in point is north Gaza. Despite the killings and starvations, the Palestinians are still strong. Up till now the Israeli army in a decrepit and exhaustive state is unable to subdue the Palestinians of Gaza nor that of the resistance who continue to emerge from below grounds.
If the Israeli government and their extremists supporters keep talking about re-occupying Gaza then they are under a great misconception as the Israel establishment and its military apparatuses are in shambles fighting two wars (in Lebanon for instance, its only a ceasefire that might erupt again into war now or in two months time) that they can’t sustain.
All the extremists lead by Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir can do is watch the Jewish exodus – up to one million people, including settlers, more like colonialists who are leaving the country through the Ben Gurion Airport to such places as Canada, United States, Germany and more, promising never to return.
These extremists, hijacking Benjamin Netanyahu, who all he wants is to stay in power regardless of the consequences, are in a state of troubled denial.
This war, from Gaza in the south and Hezbollah in the north has proved a deadly, sobering experience for Israelis. With missiles from southern Lebanon all down into the Israeli depth of major cities, towns, settlements, ports, military bases and even Ben Gurion Airport itself which had been stopping and operating erratically has been exhausting for many Israelis, millions of whom spent their time in underground shelters with no let up.
Everyday, the go up-and-down shelters at the sound of incessant sirens (over 500 times on 24 November alone) in Tel Aviv, Haifa including Naharya, Acca, Haifa, Beith Takfah, West Galilee, Krayot, HaSharon, Herzilya, Tel Aviv and the port of Ashdod, bordering Gaza, which is 150 kilometers away from Tel Aviv.
With all this going on, how can Israelis talk about re-occupation of Palestinian territories. Whether they like it or not, Israel is in a state of a very, real war that is deadly and doesn’t discriminate. Surely, the sensible thing for them and their politicians, officials, councillors and mayors is to talk about ending this state of conflict and how they are going get their hundreds of thousands of their people back to their residents and houses because of the missiles and rockets raining on them from the south and the north.
Rather then occupation and reoccupation, Israelis have been displaced in this on-going war. Of those that have not hastily left the country, they are waiting in temporary hotels and bread-and-breakfast accommodation and it is not clear when it will be safe for them to return despite the temporary ceasefire in the north.
Many Israeli towns and villages lie empty at present because of Hezbollah drones. This war has been dramatic and the sooner that Israeli politicians realize it the better. Instead they keep harking on their rightwing rhetoric about reoccupying Gaza, a point recently made when rightwing settlers held a conference last October near the border of the Gaza Strip demanding the rebuilding of settlements in the Gaza Strip.
But there is still a long way to go. Even if the Israeli army controls Gaza which is far from being reaching a final conclusion because of the continuing tough resistance would Israelis be allowed to settle there realizing how much the psychology of Gazans is and their relationship to the land. —
