What’s unfolding in Gaza is not a war—it’s a systematic annihilation. The numbers alone are staggering: Thousands dead, thousands injured, hospitals bombed, infants starved, doctors detained. But behind every statistic is a deliberate policy of extermination, cloaked in the language of “security” and “counterterrorism.” Israel’s targeting of medical workers, humanitarian organizations, and even clan elders who refuse to collaborate reveals the depth of its colonial logic: break the body, break the spirit, break the social fabric.

This isn’t just about Gaza. It’s about the global complicity that allows a besieged population to be bombed, starved, and silenced while Western leaders debate ceasefire terms drafted by the very architects of the siege. The refusal to let Palestinians govern themselves, even in rubble, speaks volumes.

And yet, amid the horror, the resistance endures—not just militarily, but morally. From doctors performing surgery without anesthesia to families refusing to collaborate with occupation forces, Gaza continues to assert its humanity. That, in itself, is revolutionary.

With all the Trump administration is doing I wonder if they haven't thought of precison air strikes on blue cities in the US.

I would contend that there are far more than 65,000 dead Palestinians at this juncture of the genocide. Some sources claim that at least 200,000 have been slaughtered by over 100,000 tons of bombs dropped over Gaza over the past two years. Some estimates are 400,000 dead. Somewhere between those numbers seems more likely.

I read somewhere (can't remember the source) the number killed exceeds 600,000.

Patricia, I believe those numbers could be very believable, considering the

massive destruction of infrastructure, disease from poor living conditions,

and now starvation. Tragic, no matter the number of people dead! So many children

are part of this major death toll that the terrorist state of Israel has inflicted on Gaza

with US-made weapons of mass destruction!

Thank you, even if it makes me miserable to read it.

The slaughter of the innocents. Is Hamas allowing this genocide for political ends?
