The 'Israeli' plan for genocide in Gaza explained
A plan as brutish as it is simple, and one that could only come from the Zionist entity.
The ‘Israeli’ plan in Gaza has always been quite simple, even in its deviousness. After the Flood of al-Aqsa operation on October 7, response came swiftly to the entirety of Gaza (a war crime of collective punishment) in the form of blockades, air strikes, and soon after an armed invasion.
Gaza has always been a thorn in the colonial project’s side. To finally entrench their unchallenged power, the zionist entity needs to fit several pieces together:
Remove the native population to such an extent that they can claim to be the sole ‘nation’ living in the area,
Establish good relations with neighbors so as to find more legitimacy, and
Keep the backing of a stronger power until the above two conditions are fulfilled.
Enforce a system of apartheid to keep second-class citizens whose only job is to make life easy for the colonial masters and
Find more settlers for the country, which help reinforce the apartheid system and its legitimacy.
Objectives number 3 and 4 have always been fulfilled in the zionist entity since day 1 for two reasons: to serve as an imperial military outpost into West Asia (the Middle East), and to finally finish Hitler’s plans, as ‘Israel’ is itself a continuation of the long history of antisemitism in Europe, seeking to remove all Jews from Europe once and for all.
Objective number 2 took years to achieve, but is now mostly complete. There were a series of wars waged by “Israel’s” neighbors (sometimes started by one camp, sometimes by the other) throughout the second half of the 20th century. Ultimately, to assure its survival, “Israel” started seeking diplomatic ties to these countries — going first through countries aligned with the US, such as Saudi Arabia or the UAE.
Today, the only countries near Palestine that firmly position themselves against ‘Israel’ are Syria, Lebanon (through Hezbollah, the de facto authority in the South of Lebanon), Yemen, Algeria, Iraq (though they have more pressing internal matters to attend to) and Iran. This, however, should not be seen as fatalist; the tides are changing slowly, and may very well soon flip.
On top of providing security to the colonial state (Saudi Arabia is notably interfering with Ansarallah’s attempts to strike at the zionist entity), they also provide its legitimacy; “Israel” can point and say “look, these Arab states support us!”.
Objective #5 is largely complete, but not sufficiently. To keep the purity of its settler state intact, ‘Israel’ finds itself in the same situation many other colonial states went through: not everybody can be allowed to be a settler. In ‘Israel’s case, this is reserved for white Jews, which makes it quite a small demographic, relatively speaking. There was a time, in the 20th century, where the zionist entity needed all Jews to settle in occupied Palestine to legitimize the project. Thus Morroccans, Iraqis, Ethiopians… all were invited to live in ‘Israel’ under the promise of living in their homeland, in their state, where they would be safe — from the terrorist attacks zionists staged in their communities convince them to move. A project, by the way, that they continue to this day by funding ISIS.
When those populations were safely regrouped in ‘Israel’, the entity then set on a project to get rid of them after it had reached the international status of being a “Homeland for the Jewish people”, to quote early Zionists.
Thus ‘Israel’ set out, for example, to sterilize Ethiopian women. It uses the regions in controls in the Sinai desert to ‘deport’ unwanted immigrants and refugees, leaving them to die under the desert sun — were it not for the humanitarian NGOs who set up some form of infrastructure there.
To kill another nation, you must first kill yourself
Objective #1 is trickier, but is perhaps the most important goal for ‘Israel’ to finally be able to claim sole sovereignty over Palestine and finish their initial colonial endeavors — as much as a colonial project can ever be finished. ‘Israel’ has been very clear at several points that it intends to continue its manifest destiny, invading the rest of the Levant. We remember of course the occupation of the Golan Heights, historically a part of Syria (and still recognized as such), that ‘Israel’ uses to house its settlers and military bases.
There are at this time around 1.5 million Palestinians living throughout their occupied homeland versus 8 million settlers — Palestinians thus make up a little below 20% of the colony’s total population in official statistics, and this is not even counting Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank! 2 million before October 7 in Gaza, and 3 million in the West Bank — which is considered to be Palestinian territory in which ‘Israel’ has no right to send settlers.
This makes for a total of 6.5 million Palestinians living in their homeland, and around 14.3 million total (PDF link) in the world when including the diaspora.
Palestinian birth rates are also much higher than the ‘Israelis’ as a form of resistance against their genocide, meaning that the gap is moving in favor of Palestine.
None of those three cases (Palestinians in occupied land, Palestinians in homeland, Palestinians in world) make for a very favorable situation for the occupation. When these facts comes to light, it becomes very difficult to argue that ‘Israelis’ deserve to be the sole sovereigns over their own colonial creation, ‘Israel’, much less over Palestine!
If ‘Israel’ can’t increase its numbers of “blood and soil citizens”, — that is, settlers that can be bestowed the status of settlers under the apartheid system — it will have to find other ways to increase the population gap in their favor.
We come back to the genocide of Palestinians being a matter of survival for the colonial project, in more ways than one: it prevents a native population from laying claim to the land. It prevents them from challenging the status quo. It is a long term plan; it aims to simply destroy the Palestinian identity so that years in the future, when history is studied, the world will think of Palestinians as a vague, distant identity.
Colonialism is never pretty. To kill another’s nation, you must first kill yourself. Your humanity, your potential; what makes you you.
The same has happened to the many Native nations of the American continent; some of which were so destroyed by that process that we are barely aware they even existed.
We can’t let that happen in our day.
I could not face a Palestinian and tell them point blank “this is what is happening to you and your people, and we’re just going to document it”.
If you can’t either, then organize for Palestine and Gaza. Send money to verified charities, join protests, agitate for Gaza.
The methodical genocide plan in Gaza
The genocide in Gaza is carried out for the varied reasons outlined above.
We will now look at how it is being carried out.
The manner is methodical. While the IOF is a remarkably inept military (friendly fire incidents are cited as one of the biggest reason for casualties in Gaza, which doesn’t bode well for the IOF whether that is a truth or a lie), they are still able to formulate plans. Whether they carry them out effectively is another matter which we will not look at in this piece.
At almost 7 months into the genocide in Gaza, we have the necessary data to lay out the plan that the IOF is trying to follow:
Kill all doctors so that the wounded cannot be saved, thereby increasing deaths.
Kill all university professors and teachers, so that they can not teach the next generation.
Kill all journalists, so that they can’t document these atrocities.
It is as simple as it is ruthless. This is what ‘Israel’ has been methodically doing since they started their mass retaliation against the people in the Gaza Strip.
And in the second term:
First, reduce all food pantries, bakeries, restaurants, etc. to rubble to start a famine.
Then target hospitals and schools, to further prevent treatment and education.
Finally, reduce everything to rubble, including the houses, to inflict lasting damage.
On top of that, ‘Israel’ needs to methodically wipe out their own citizens (as well as foreigners) being held as POWs in Gaza from October 7. The reason is that they are worth too much in negotiations; it is simply easier
Hamas themselves have confirmed only around 40 of the ~200 or so original POWs are still in their care. Some were exchanged and released last year, and the rest have simply… died from ‘Israeli’ airstrikes and the famine imposed on Gaza.
When you are not useful to the colonial project anymore, when you can’t provide it anything, your life has no more value and can be ended on a whim.
But there is one more use out of the dead: use them as bargaining chips while knowing full well they are dead. ‘Israel’ and its propagandists are now claiming Hamas killed those POWs, citing this as a reason not to negotiate with Gaza.
A self-fulfilling prophecy.
And now, Nethanyahu is using the dead POWs as a sword of Damocles over the invasion of Rafah, the last refugee camp in Gaza. He has given Hamas 72 hours to release the POWs or, he says, he will launch the Rafah invasion.
We will see how that plays out.
‘Israel’ is realizing it is difficult to carry out a genocide to the end, and what they thought would be a walk in the park — invade Gaza from the North, move everyone to the border with Egypt, and then displace them out of the country — is much more difficult.
Thus it falls back on a longer-term plan: salting the earth so that nothing will be left in Gaza.
The problem with this premise is that the regime thinks it has time on its side; it does not, as it’s not the winning side.
But this is the plan. To methodically, almost clinically, depopulate Gaza, destroy it, salting the earth so nothing ever regrows there; neither children nor knowledge, neither food nor life. This plan lays bare the fundamental ethic of colonialism: if I can’t have it, no one can.
