7th, with another 42 wounded, more than 1. 8 Million People, over 80 of gazas population have been driven from their homes, thousands are missing, buried under the rubble, more than 300 families have lost 10 or more members, nearly 300 palestinians at the same time have been killed. The west bank and over 3,00 wounded. Israel will not be deterred, it plans to finish the job, to obliterate what is left in the north of gaza and decimate what remains in the south, to render gaza uninhabitable, to see its 2. 3 Million People driven out in a Massive Campaign of ethnic cleansing via starvation, terror, slaughter, and infectious diseases. The aid convoys bring in token amounts of food and medicine, the first batch during the pause were shrouds and coronas virus, coronavirus tests. The Biden Administration refuses to set conditions that will disrupt the 3. 8 billion dollars israel receives in and and 750,000 were ethnically cleansed by zionist militias, will look like a quaint relic of a more civilized era. Nothing is off limits hospitals, ambulances, mosks, churches, homes, apartment blocks, refugee camps, schools, universities, media offices, sewer systems, telecommunications, infrastructure, Water Treatment plants, library, Permanent Transfer of the gazas 2. 3 million palestinian residents to egypts sinai peninsula, once palestinians cross the border into egypt, which the Egyptian Government and arab leaders are seeking to prevent despite pressure from the us. Palestinians will never return. This is not a war against hamas. It is a war against palestinians. Israeli strikes are generated a dizzying rate, many of them from a system called habsara, the gospel, which is built on Artificial Intelligence that selects 100 targets a day, the ai system is described on the israeli sites plus 972 magazine and local call as facilitating, i quote, a mass assassination factory, is sometimes in hundreds of people. Israel has abandoned its tactic of roof knocking where a rocket without a warhead lands top of building to warn those inside to evacuate, it has also ended its phone calls warning of an impending attack. Now dozens of families an apartment block or neighborhood are killed without notice. During the siege in sarajevo, when i was reporting for the new york times, we never endured the level of saturation bombing and near total blockage of food, water, fuel, and medicine that israel has imposed on gaza. We never endured hundreds of dead a day and wounded a day. We never endured the complicity of the International Community in the Serbian Campaign of genocide. We never endured washington intervening to block a ceasefire resolution. We never endured massive arms shipments from the us and other western countries to sustain the siege. We never endured press reports from sarajevo that were routinely routinely discredited and dismissed by the International Community, although 25 journalists were killed in the war by the besieging serbian forces. We never endured western governments justifying the siege as the right of the serbs to defend themselves. Although un peacekeepers sent to bosnia were largely a Public Relations gesture, ineffective in halting the slaughter until forced to respond following the massacres of 800 bosniak men and boys at schrebraniza. I dont mean to minimize the horror of the siege in sarajevo. Which gives me nightmares nearly three decades later, but what we suffered, three to 400 shells a day, four to five dead a day, two dozen wounded a day, is a tiny fraction of the wholesale death and destruction in gaza. The israeli siege of gaza more resembles the vermaks assault on stalingrad. Where over 90 of the citys buildings were destroyed than sarajevo. Israels goal is to erase not only people, but the idea of palestine. It is a carbon copy of the Massive Campaigns of racialized slaughter by other settler colonial projects that believe that indiscriminant and wholesale violence could make the aspirations of an oppressed people, land they stole go away, and like other perpetrators of genocide, Israel Intends to keep it hidden, locking out foreign reporters and photographers, cutting phone and internet service, and it is targeted palestinian reporters, my colleagues for assassination, killing over 50. Israel has dropped more than 25, tons of explosives gaza, nearly the equivalent of the atomic bombs dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki. Gaza, by the end of israels scorched earth campaign, will be uninhabitable, tactic the nazis regularly employed when facing armed resistance, including in the warsaw ghetto, and later warsaw itself. Gaza, or at least gaza, as we knew it, will not exist. Not only. Are the tactics the same, but so is the rhetoric. Palestinians are referred to as animals, beast. They have no right to exist, their children have no right to exist. They must be cleansed from the earth. The extermination of those whose land we steal, whose resources we plunder, and whose labor we exploit is coded within the dna of industrialized nations. Ask native americans, ask indians, ask the congolese, ask the kikuyu in kenya, ask the herrero in namibia, who like the palestinians in gaza, were gun down and driven into desert concentration camps where they died of starvation and disease, 80,00 of them and ask iraqis, ask afghans, ask syrians, ask kurds, ask libyans, ask Indigenous Peoples across the globe. They know who we are. Israels distorted, settler colonial visage is our own. We pretend otherwise, we ascribe to ourselves virtues and civilizing qualities that are, as in israel, flimsy justifications for stripping and occupied and beseeged people of their rights, seasing their land and using prolonged imprisonment, torture, humiliation, enforced poverty. And murder to keep them subjugated. Natalie bennett, israels former Prime Minister, said, quote, were fighting nazis, in other words, absolute evil. Not to be outdone, Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu described hamas a press conference with the german chancelor as the new nazis. Think about that. A people, imprisond in the Worlds Largest concentration camp for 16. Years denied food, water, fuel and medicine, lacking an army, air force, navy, mechanized units, artillery, command and control and missile batteries is being butchered and starved by one of the most advanced militaries on the planet, and they are the nazis. There is an historical analogy here, but it is not one that bennett, netanyahu. Or any other israeli leader wants to acknowledge, when those who are occupied refuse to submit, when they continue to resist, we drop all pretense of our civilizing mission and unleash, as in gaza, an orgy of slaughter and destruction, we become drunk on violence, we kill with reckless ferocity, we become the beasts, accuse the oppressed of being. We exposed the lie of our vaunted moral superiority, we exposed the fundamental truth about western civilization. We are the most ruthless and efficient killers on the planet. This alone is why we dominate the wretched of the earth. It has nothing to do with democracy or freedom or liberty. These are rights we never intend to grant to the oppressed. Honor, genocide lies at the core of western imperialism. It is not unique to israel, it is not unique to the nazis. It is the Building Block of western domination. The humanitarian interventionists who insist we should bomb and occupy other nations because we embody goodness, although they promote military intervention only when it is perceived to be in our national interest. Our use, are the useful idiot . The war machine and global imperialists, they live on alas in wonderland fairytale where the rivers of blood we spawn make the world a happier and better place. They are the smiley faces of genocide. You can watch them on your screens, you can listen to them, spout their pseudo morality in the white house and in congress. They are always wrong, and they never go away. Like all settler colonial projects, including our own, was founded on lies. The lie, that Palestinian Land was unoccupied, the lie that 750,000 palestinians fled their homes and villages during the ethnic cleansing by zionist militias in 1948 because they were told to do so by their leaders. The lie that it was arab armies that started the 1948 war that saw israel sees 78 of historic palestine, the lie that israel faced annihilation in 1967, forcing it to invade and occupy the remaining 22 of palestine as well as land belonging to egypt and syria. Israel is sustained by lies, the lie that israel wants a just and equitable peace and will support an independent palestinian state, the lie that israel is the only democracy. In the middle east, the lie that israel is an outpost of western civilization a sea of barbarism, the lie that israel respects the rule of law and human rights. The brazenness of israeli lies stunned those of us who reported from gaza. It did not matter if we had seen the israeli attack, including the shooting of unarmed palestinians. It did not matter how many witnesses we interviewed. It did not matter what photographic and forensic evidence we obtained. Israel lied, small lies, big lies, huge lies. These lies came reflexively and instantly from the israeli military, israeli politicians and israeli media. They were amplified by israels welloiled propaganda machine, and repeated with a cloing sincerity on International News outlets. Israel engages in the kinds of jaw dropping lies that characterize despotic regimes. It does not deform the truth, it inverts it. It paints picture that is diametric. Opposed to reality, those of us who have covered the occupied territories have run into israels alis and wonderland narratives, which we dutifully insert into our stories required under the rules of american journalism, although we know they are untrue. Israel has invented an orwelian lexicon children killed by israelies become children caught in the crossfire, the bombing of residential districts. With dozens of dead and wounded becomes a Surgical Strike a bomb making factory, the destruction of palestinian homes becomes the demolition of the homes of terrorists. The big lie feeds the two reactions israel seeks elicit racism among its supporters and terror among its victims. The big lie fosters the myth of a clash of civilizations. A war between democracy, decency and honor on one side, and islamic terrorism, barbarism and medievalism on the other. The big lie abolishes nuances, ambiguities, and contradictions that can play conscience. It is designed to create cognitive dissidents. It permits no gray zones. The world is black and white, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous. The big lie allows believers to take comfort, comfort they are desperately seeking in their own moral superiority, it feeds what edward ber is called the logic proof compartment of dogmatic adherence. All effective propaganda, writes targets and bills upon these irrational psychological habits. Israel supporters do not want to know the truth. The truth would force them to examine their racism, selfdelusion. Facts, it obliterates history, it obliterates comprehension, it obliterates hope, it reduces all communication to the language of violence. When oppressors speak to the oppressed exclusively through indiscriminate violence, the oppressed answer through indiscriminant violence. I and the public know what all School Children learn, w h auden wrote those to whom evil is done, do evil in return. The cartoonist joe sako and i watched Israeli Soldiers taunt and shoot, small boys and hanniunis in gaza. We interviewed the boys and their parents afterwards in the hospital. In few cases, we attended the funerals. We had their names, we had the dates, we have the locations of the shoot. Israels response was to say that we were not in gaza, we had made it up, the israeli Prime Minister, foreign minister, defense minister and idf spokesman immediately blame the killing of my aljazera colleague in 2022 on palestinian, israel disseminated footage of a palestinian fighter, they said shot and kill the journalist who was wearing a flack jacket and helmet marked press, the lie was pedaled until video footage examined bym, the Israeli Center for human. Rights in the occupied territories identify the location of the palestinian gunman depicted in the video, the video the Human Rights Organization found was taken in a different location from where shareen was killed. When israel is caught line as it was with the murder of shirin, it promises an investigation, but these investigations are a sham. Impartial investigations into the thousands of killings. By soldiers and jewish settlers of palestinians are rarely carried out, perpetrators are almost never brought to trial or held accountable. The pattern of israeli offiscation is predictable, and so is the collusion of nearly all the Corporate Media along with republican and democratic politicians. Us politicians decried the murder of shirin and dutifully repeated the old mantra calling for a thorough. Investigation by the army that carried out the crime. Few months later israel admitted that there was a high possibility that an israeli soldier killed sheren by accident, but by then the eruption of street protests in the west bank and rage over the killing of the journalist was over and her murder largely forgotten. As the us israel genocidal war in gaza enters its third month and the death tool continues to rise, israels economy is also paying heavy price. The labor shortage in hightech is especially worrying since that sector accounts for nearly 20 of israels Gross Domestic Product gdp . 20 of the israeli war. Cars are part of the reserve army and they are not functioning. In this addition of economic divide, we have special guest alice rothchild, author of broken promises and broken dreams and member of the jewish voice for peace who says the bigger problem needs to be solved. So the root causes of this crisis are the ongoing occupation of the occupied territories and the siege of gaza. بسم الله وهو المصور سید شهابالدین واجدی هستم عکاس سال ۹۵ در یکی از مراسم های دانش آموختگی دانشجویان افسری دانشگاه امام حسین علیه السلام که حضرت آقا امام خامنه ای حضور داشتند من دعوت شده بودم حالا به زبان رسانه ای ها آفیش شده بودم برای اون مراسم و تو خیلی از مراسمات از این دسته است حاج قاسم به دلیل مشغله ش و سفر هایی که تو اون سال ها توی بحث جبهه مقاومت بود معمولاً حضور پیدا نمیکرد اما دیدم در سال ۹۵ اردیبهشت ۹۵ بود حاج قاسم دیدم کنار فرمانده هان نشستند و خیلی خوشحال شدم که حاج قاسم هم هست خب حسه آقا تشریف آوردن از اون یگان های حاضر سان دیدن بعد اومدن رفتن از جانبازایی که کنار توی جایگاه نشستن و خانواده شهدا یک در اصل دیدنی کردند و تفقدی کردن از جانبازا و فرزندان شهدا بعد تو این مسیر برگشتن به سمت جایگاه خب فرمانده ها تا یادن هست آقا دارن تشریف میارن همه بلند شدن به احترام نظامی یه لحظه دویدم عقب گفتم بذار بیام عقب که آقا دارن میان مثلاً دارن رد میشن از اینها من میتونم یه قای بگیرم که مثلاً فرمانده ها حتماً قشنگ میشه که همه فرماندارن احترام نظامی میذارن اصلاً یه چیز عجیبی دیدم یه لحظه دیدم حاج قاسم دست احترام نظامی گذاشته دست چپش رو رو سینه ش گذاشته گفتم خدایا فرمانده های نظامی عرف اینه که اینه پس این چیه اونم حاج قاسم ژنرال سنلشکر فرمانده نیروی قدس سپاه فرمانده جبهه مقاومت یعنی چی این همه فرمانده ها معمولاً احترام نظامی با دست راست می ذارن و این دستشون همیشه خبردار پایینه یه ذره داشتم تو ذهن خودم حلاجی می کردم که آقا به شاید میگم چند. سال آقا اینا همش شاید کسری از ثانیه داشت تو ذهن من می رفت و می اومد آقا اومد از جلوی حاج قاسم رد بشه من چند تا شاد زدم من میگم مالک اشتتر غیر از اینکه نام نظامی عرفی خودش رو گذاشت اومد ارادت قلبی ارادت باطنی خودش رو به فرمانده اش به مولاش به امیر خودش به سرور خودش اینجوری نشون بده و این قابه ثبت شد من هی این عکس ها رو هی نگاهش می کردم می گفتم خدایا احتمال این عکس منتشر نمیشه چرا که حاج قاسم اومده خلاف اون رویه و عرف نظامی یه کار جدید کرده یک کار دیگه کرده خارق العاده است این عکس برای خودم ماندگار.
