Israel Is Systematically Annihilating Gaza
Entire communities are vanishing as Israeli bombs fall across Gaza and entire Palestinian families perish. How much longer will the world look away?
Northern Gaza is descending into unimaginable carnage as Israeli forces are bombarding homes packed with civilians, often without warning, wiping out entire families. This relentless campaign of destruction, genocide’s bloodiest chapter, proves yet again that this is not just a war, rather a deliberate and systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing that defies international law.
Beit Lahia Is Being Erased
In Beit Lahia Israel is forcibly expelled displaced families in what can only be described as the final wave of a calculated purge. For 60 days, the Israeli military has razed homes, obliterated schools, and destroyed a majority of the infrastructure, killing countless civilians, and displacing over 130,000 Palestinians.
Last night, the horror intensified.
A school housing displaced people came under Israeli siege, and Kamal Adwan Hospital, the last operating hospital in northern Gaza, was attacked by Israeli forces five times.
The stories of the survivors are devastating. In the video I posted above, one woman shares how two F-16 missiles obliterated her home, killing her mother, two sisters, and other family members. Only she and her daughter survived.
Across Beit Lahia, dozens more are reported to have been killed in the past 24 hours, with Israeli attacks reducing homes to rubble trapping countless people beneat.
Journalists and civilians are being targeted and attacked. Anadolu photographer Mohammad Awad was shot in the neck while documenting the atrocities.
Al Jazeera’s Hossam Shabat witnessed civilians fleeing under heavy Israeli fire. His words paint a picture of hell:
Khan Younis Is Burning
What is happening in Gaza is not a war —it is a calculated genocide, known and facilitated by the United States through its military aid. Western powers like the UK, France, and Germany continue to actively support and justify these crimes.
In Khan Younis, the suffering continues. Families seeking refuge in Al-Mawasi, a supposed “humanitarian” zone, were incinerated when Israeli airstrikes set their tents ablaze. Over 20 Palestinians were burned alive, with many others critically injured.
Footage of these atrocities circulates widely on X and other online platforms but remains conspicuously absent from mainstream media, a deliberate effort to suppress the scale of Israel’s crimes.
This baby, Shady Samir Farah, was burnt alive in the attack on tents of displaced families.
UK and US Are Complicit
This is not merely a moral failure; it is a catastrophic collapse of our international legal system and so-called rules-based order.
The UK government has been forced to review its decision to export F-35 warplane components after admitting in court that Israel is “not committed to complying” with international law.
F-35 fighter jet components have been secretly shipped from the UK to the US from RAF Marham in Norfolk, with over 500 arms shipments sent since the bombing of Gaza began. Cargo documents reviewed by Declassified, The Ditch, and Drop Site News reveal that some components may have been further exported to Israel, aided by increased F-35 parts flow from the US following Hamas' attack in October 2023.
Many shipment destinations align with US military facilities supplying Israel's F-35 fleet. Over 100 shipments occurred after Keir Starmer’s September suspension of direct F-35 exports to Israel, raising concerns that UK-made weaponry may be contributing to the war crimes in Gaza.
The news comes one day after David Lammy attended a Labour Friends of Israel event and posed for pictures with the Israeli ambassador in London, Tzipi Hotovely.
Hotovely has suggested that “every school, every mosque, every second house" in Gaza is a legitimate target for Israel.
Also this week, Jasleen Kaur, the winner of the Turner Prize, the UK’s most prestigious arts prize used her acceptance speech to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and an arms embargo against Israel.
Kaur used her acceptance speech to express solidarity with the protesters outside: "Divestment is not a radical demand — this should not risk an artist's career or safety," she said.
And as usual, the BBC, much like the majority of mainstream media in the West, continue to absolve Israel of any responsibility for the unfolding genocide, while simultaneously erasing Palestinians out of existence.
The BBC article removed her call for solidarity with Palestinians, and for an end to arms sales to removed. They even removed the word genocide, as well as the Palestinian scarf she was wearing.
After more than a year of massive national protests, arms factory pickets, members of parliament calling for complete sanctions, local encampments, direct action against organizations complicit in genocide, the UK government has only suspended a mere 30 of these licenses.
In the US, a majority of citizens support an arms embargo and yet the arms continue to flow.
The government’s policy in the UK, much like that in the US () is in direct contradiction to the public’s demands. The majority of British voters support the suspension of arms to Israel. The silence and inaction of global institutions and governments are deafening and unforgivable.
How much longer will these so-called democracies continue to ignore the will of their people, and continue to abandon their obligations under international law, not only not to aid and abet genocide, but to prevent it?
Thank you, Ahmed, for sharing. Indeed, this goes beyond a moral failure; it reflects a monumental breakdown of the international legal framework and the so-called rules-based system.
So why it call on Hamas to release the hostages and end all this - that they started.
