The Genocide: Day 601

Leaders of the Political West approve genocide via bombing, artillery and tanks but are queasy about mass starvation. Fuck them.

Today is the 601'st day of Israel's genocide in Gaza, Palestine.

Genocide, Annexation and Colonial Expansion

It is 491 days since the U.N.'s International Court of Justice found that the case by South Africa, joined by many other nations, against Israel under the Genocide Convention concerns a plausible genocide. On each of those 491 days Israel has provided more irrefutable evidence of the mass slaughter of the civilian, resident population for the sole purpose of eradicating them from Gaza by two combined methods. They are murdered, or they emigrate from the murder Israel is mercilessly exacting upon the innocent around them.

Israel's military have destroyed Gaza, its hospitals, schools, houses. Everything. It is an Israeli created wasteland.

Israel is currently annexing parts of Lebanon and Syria with its military.

In Lebanon, Israel has also razed villages. This is what Israel's military does, destroys habitation to build new Israeli settlements on other people's land.

Israel is also annexing more of Palestine via its parliament, with the largest illegal settlement expansion, aka theft of land, in 30 years.

Israel's political influence operation's corrupt funding of parts of the US government, legislative and executive, is annexing that country too. Secretary of State Rubio announced that a "vigorous new visa policy" would ban critics of Israel from entering the US.

Israel's execution of thousands of children in Gaza has begun. Its siege, its blockade of any aid, is starving children to death.

The Political West: Aiding and Abetting

Three nations have been leading active support for Israel's military murders of Palestinians. Foremost is the US which supplies, at tax-payer expense, the weaponry Israel's military are using for their massacres. Second down the horror list of weapon suppliers is Germany which is enabling genocide 80 years after the genocide which spurned the Genocide Convention. For "intelligence" sharing, used by Israel's military for its massacres, second after the US is the UK. The UK has been flying reconnaissance missions over Gaza from its military airfield on Cyprus.

Ghoulish Theatre

The beginning of the starvation saw the European nations which have been supporting the genocide coordinate political actions to deliver messaging against this new method.

The political messaging is a literal theatre of the macabre.

No messaging or action was issued or taken at the blockade which inexorably leads to starvation, all the while providing weaponry or reconnaissance to murder Palestinian mothers and children.

Their problem are the journalists in Gaza recording and sharing the horror of starving children. The Gazan journalists are putting these politicians names on this horror.

The pathetic scripted responses by these politicians has to be one of the most immoral, horrific and macabre displays of spinless duplicity in living memory.

Netanyahu, Biden & Trump, Scholz & Merz, Starmer, Macron and von der Lyen are all stained by the guilt of deliberate, targeted, systemic mass murder.

Free Palestine.
