Middle East arsonists shout fire!

 


By Manlio Dinucci (Grandangolo on Byoblu TV, Italy)

The war waged by Israel in Gaza is defined by the Washington Post as "one of the most destructive wars of this century". This war - implemented by Israel with the full support of the USA, NATO, and the EU - has so far caused over 20,000 deaths and 55,000 serious injuries among the Palestinian population, most of them will not survive as Israeli forces systematically destroy hospitals in Gaza. 

Women and children represent 70% of deaths. Around 2 million people, corresponding to 85% of the displaced population. 

At the same time, Israeli raids in the West Bank are increasing. Against this background, in an article in the Wall Street Journal Prime Minister Netanyahu states the necessity that "Hamas must be destroyed" as the first "prerequisite for peace". He stresses that “in destroying Hamas, Israel will continue to act in full compliance with international law.”  

Netanyahu forgets what he officially declared in 2019: “Anyone who wants to hinder the creation of a Palestinian State must support Hamas and transfer money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy: to isolate the Palestinians of Gaza from the Palestinians of the West Bank.” 

For years, in agreement with Israel, Qatar sent hundreds of millions of dollars in cash to Gaza every month to support the Hamas government. A 40-page document, code-named "Walls of Jericho" by Israeli Intelligence, demonstrates that Israel has known in detail the plan for the attack carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023, for over a year. It served the leaders of Israel to justify "one of the most destructive wars of this century", whose purpose was clear from the beginning: to erase the territories of the Palestinian State, massacring and deporting the entire population. This was confirmed by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Paula Betancur: "The Israeli military operation in Gaza aims to mass deport the civilian population".

The Israeli war to definitively erase the Palestinian State is part of the US-NATO-EU strategy of maintaining control of a strategic region, the Middle East, through war, in which the West is losing ground in front of advancing political—economic projects, such as that of the BRICS, which are changing global structures.
