War war and more war

Part I

War, war and more war. This is Netanyahu’s creed, his legacy to all Arabs. He is a believer like Zionists are in the phrase from “the river to the river”- the rivers being from the Nile to the Euphrates. The Euphrates begins in Turkey and flows through Syria and Iraq before entering the Persian Gulf. This means that parts of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia would be incorporated in what is referred to by Zionists as ‘greater Israel’.

Nothing justifies the atrocities committed by Israel on its Arab neighbours  specifically on the Palestinians and the Lebanese. The war that Israel has been carrying out on Gaza since October 2023 is reminiscent of world wars.  Israel’s war on Gaza is a war on women ,children ,the elderly and sick-up till to date the number of children killed by Israel amounts to 17492 and is on the increase..

To excuse this killing spree Israel gave false information on the nature of attacks of Hamas on October 7th 2023.

Reason denotes that the narrative doesn’t really begin on the seventh of October 2023.The narrative began a long time ago much before Israel turned Gaza into an open air prison and built the apartheid wall on Gaza land. Much before it made life not worth living for the Palestinians living in Gaza, punishing them for their choice of Hamas in the 2006 Palestinian Legislative Council elections (so much for Israeli democracy). Across the years, Israel intensified the isolation of the Gaza Strip. One of the most draconian restrictions in its impact was Israel’s separation of Gaza from the West Bank. This separation policy restricted Palestinians’ entry into and exit out of Gaza, preventing university students in Gaza from receiving education in West Bank universities, patients from receiving healthcare, businessmen from trading and families from staying united( A similar policy was followed in the  occupied Syrian Golan where brides if married to a Golanese in the occupied areas were never to see their families again)  Israel has been placing Palestinians under a suffocating blockade, which constitutes an unprecedented form of collective punishment in a stark violation of international humanitarian law.
