Israel calls Palestinians “human animals” before cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to Gaza, an open air prison enslaving millions

(October 17, 2023)

In an announcement – watch below – Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told Channel 12 that starving the roughly two million people who live in the Gaza Strip is necessary to ensure Israel’s “existence in the region.”

“It will take many weeks,” Gallant said about the deprivation operation. “There will be steps here that have never been seen before.”

“There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel,” he further added. “We are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly.

The Israeli officials did not disclose the nature of the information that led them to be concerned about potential I.C.C. action, and the court did not comment on the matter.

Arrest warrants from the court would probably be seen in much of the world as a humbling moral rebuke, particularly to Israel, which for months has faced international backlash over its conduct in Gaza, including from President Biden, who called it “over the top.”

All wars have rules and the laws applicable to armed conflict cannot be interpreted so as to render them hollow or devoid of meaning. This has been my consistent message, including from Ramallah last year. Since that time, I have not seen any discernible change in conduct by Israel. As I have repeatedly emphasised, those who do not comply with the law should not complain later when my Office takes action pursuant to its mandate.

To all those involved: my Office is actively investigating any crimes allegedly committed. Those who are in breach of the law will be held accountable.

‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza

Nothing happens by accident,” said another source. “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target. We are not Hamas. These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”

According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”

South Africa accuses Israel of genocide in a U.N. court.

Allegations of war crimes by both Israel and by Palestinian militant groups in territories occupied by Israel in 1967 are already under investigation at the International Criminal Court, which is independent of the U.N. But the impact of that investigation is unclear because Israel is not a member nation of the I.C.C. and does not recognize its jurisdiction.

Israel is, however, a signatory of the Genocide Convention, along with South Africa, which paved the way for the case at the International Court of Justice, also known as the World Court.

Al-Shifa Hospital: Architecture and Expansion

The hospital underwent a major Israeli renovation and expansion.[21][22] The project was designed by Israeli architects Gershon Tzapor and Benjamin Edelson in their Tel-Aviv office, both well experienced in the construction of high standard hospitals.[21] The project was done in the 1980s as part of a project to improve the living conditions of Gaza residents.[23]

This project came as part of the Israeli idea of mutual existence between Jews and Arabs. The project intended to house 900 beds in the entire campus, a 50 dunam area. The Israeli additions were considered to be in the same standard as those hospital wings in Israeli hospitals such as Tel HaShomer.[21] The architecture of the hospital came to reflect the modernist and post modernist trends in Israeli architecture.[21] In particular was the similarity of the project to existing Israeli hospitals such as the facades of the Bezalel building in Jerusalem.[22] Similarly to other Israeli projects, the building was built with sharpened diagonal staircases, akin to projects by Israeli architects Dan Eitan, Shlomit Nadler and others at the time.[22]

The architects also designed and built a large array of underground infrastructure, which the IDF later pointed to as part of the underground Hamas command in 2014 and in the 2023 Israel-Hamas war.[21][10][8][22] In particular, in 1983, the Israelis built „a secure underground operating room and tunnel network“ beneath Building 2 of the hospital.[

Top Secret Hamas Command Bunker in Gaza Revealed

(July 29, 2014)

The Israelis are so sure about the location of the Hamas bunker, however, not because they are trying to score propaganda points, or because it has been repeatedly mentioned in passing by Western reporters—but because they built it. Back in 1983, when Israel still ruled Gaza, they built a secure underground operating room and tunnel network beneath Shifa hospital—which is one among several reasons why Israeli security sources are so sure that there is a main Hamas command bunker in or around the large cement basement beneath the area of Building 2 of the Hospital, which reporters are obviously prohibited from entering.

Wie prognostiziert: Israel will deutsche “Inspektoren” in Gaza und droht anderenfalls mit neuem Massaker

(7. August, 2014)

Die Botschaft des sicherlich proasiatischen ex-Türstehers aus Moldawien Lieberman ist klar: “Gebt uns Soldaten, ihr Deutschen, ihr Führer des Imperiums über den Kontinent, sonst bringen wir weiter Palästinenser um und ihr seid Schuld! Ihr seid schuld! Wie immer!”

Wie berichtet, war die Fußmatte Israels, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, schon in den letzten Tagen voran gekrochen und hatte sich seinen Lieblingsfaschisten lang hin auf den Weg gelegt. Am 3. August versprach der Außenminister von Deutschland in der Springer AG seinen Herrn und Meistern die “Herrschaft der Hamas” in ihrer Kolonie Gaza zu brechen und redete diesbezüglich von einer “Reaktivierung” des seit 2005 aktiven und erst kürzlich von der “Europäischen Kommission” bis 2015 verlängerten Mandats der Polizeimission E.U.B.A.M.

Regimetreue in Israel: “Eine Nation, ein Land, ein Führer”

(10. August 2014)

Wie erwähnt, erließ das Heimatfrontkommando das Verbot von Menschenansammlungen über 1000 Personen bereits am 18. Juli. Trotzdem demonstrierten am 26. Juli 5000 Menschen auf dem Tel Aviver Rabin Platz gegen den Gaza-Krieg. Doch ausgerechnet am gestrigen weltweiten Aktionstag, wo die Chance bestanden hätte sich mit zahlreichen Demonstrationen und Gegnern des Gaza-Krieges international zu solidarisieren und organisieren, kniffen Meretz und Hadash, die seit Jahren durch das gewisse Nichts glänzen, und sagten die Demonstration ab.

Nicht so radikale Aktivisten, Sozialisten, Dissidenten, Intellektuelle: sie kündigten an, trotz Verbots des Regimes zu demonstrieren. (1, 2, 3, 4)

Nachdem sich Boulevardreporter zunächst höhnisch über die ausbleibenden Linken geäußert hatten, versammelten sich diese, vorsichtig umher schauend, langsam auf dem Rabin Platz, viele von ihnen Senioren. Letztlich wurden es rund 500 Leute. Schnell tauchten die üblichen Regimetreuen, Faschisten und Zionisten als Contras auf, darunter Hooligans. Aus deren Parolen seien die oben in Aufnahmen dokumentierten Plakate zitiert (1, 2): “Eine Nation, ein Land, ein Führer”. Manch einer fragte sich, wo er das wohl schon mal gehört hatte.

(…)

Genau die Aufgeregten, Befleissigten und Empörten, die den Massenmord in Gaza decken und dabei im selben Atemzug nur noch “jüdisch”, “Israel”, “Linke-Linke-Linke” und “Antisemitismus” rufen, wollen mit linken Israelis überhaupt nichts zu tun haben. Stattdessen verstecken sie sich hinter Apologeten die sie angenehm an der Schamdrüse kitzeln, während sie gleichzeitig um diejenigen Israelis einen großen Bogen machen, die ihnen irgendwie die Mehrheitsfähigkeit und damit das Mitschwimmen auf der Welle in der vermeintliche Masse von Deutschland versauen könnten.

Im Hintergrund steht eine weitere Klientel, die durchaus von der obenstehend beschriebenen zu unterscheiden ist, ebenso von den einfachen Sadisten: die Klientel der Soziopathen, kaltschnäuzigen Zyniker und politischen Kampfdrohnen mit Roboterideal. Soll heißen: explizit der Berliner Regierung und ihren Angestellten und Höflingen, auch in der etablierten Presse.

Die von uns am 2. August prognostizierte Strategie einer Verwicklung Deutschlands in den Gaza-Krieg, wahrscheinlich an irgendeiner Spieltheorie-Schiessbude von Think Tank Schlagdichtot ausgeheckt, ist gegen die Wand gefahren. Und das mit Schwung.

Wer es noch nicht mitbekommen hat: laut der Infratest Dimap Umfrage für die ARD (“Deutschlandtrend”), erhoben am 4. und 5. August, sind 69 Prozent dafür sich aus dem “Gaza-Konflikt” heraus zu halten, sind also gegen die Entsendung von Bundeswehr, Bundespolizei oder irgendwelcher “Inspektoren” in die aufständische israelische Kolonie Gaza.

The organization‘s call centered on the three-day offensive launched by Israel between August 5-8 in the Gaza Strip, with advocates saying its research suggests three specific attacks could amount to war crimes.
