Wanton destruction in Gaza and more actions, by Mazin Qumsiyeh
The rich history of genocides does not show us a combination like the one we
have today:
1) Overwhelming evidence of intent broadcast and available to everyone on
instant communication devices (phones, tablets, computer) and based on a
messianic model of chosenness linking to biblical mythologies of conquest
of Canaan, wiping out other nations etc
2) Wanton destruction of people and their livelihood. Destroying all their
means of livelihood denying them food, medicine, water, fuel etc. Man made
famine of thsi scale and meanness never happened before. Added to direct
bombing of civilians, hundreds die daily and so far 1 in 20 people in Gaza
is killed or injured.
3) Wanton destruction of property to make life unlivable even after the
genocide stops. 70% of all building are destroyed so far: homes hospitals,
mosques, churches, civil defence, police buildings, water facilities,
trees etc
4) Wanton attack and destruction of humanitarian aid organizations and
their facilities(e.g. the UN agencies)
5) Never in history do we see such division between the wishes of hundreds
of million of people stand to support human rights but at odds with
subservient governments that are blackmailed or bribed to support genocide
6) And the US again was the sole vote against a UN Security Council
resolution for a ceasefire (the third time in a row to prevent an end to
the genocide). The UN should be changed to prevent such imperialist
countries from having veto power on other countries. The US continues also
to fund and arm the genocide
7) Today, a group of German lawyers – representing Gaza families- is filing
a criminal complaint against German Government officials, for the crime of
aiding and abetting genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza by providing
Israel with weapons and issuing related export permissions. They are supported by civil
society organizations ELSC (European Legal Support Center), PIPD (Palestine
Institute for Public Diplomacy) and Law for Palestine under the Justice and
Accountability for Palestine Initiative. The charges are being filed at the Office of the
Federal Prosecutor in Karlsruhe (‘Generalbundesanwaltschaft’).
This mass destruction is part and parcel of colonization as happened in
other areas of the world like North America and Australia but in those other
areas we were talking about people spread over huge areas (continents).
Here it is a tiny area in which natives are squeezed. Gazais2.3 million
people (most refugees) squeezed in an area of 360 square kilometers. And
while major cities globally have similar or higher densities, cities are
parts of countries with natural resources and integrated economies. The
Gaza strip is a closed concentration camp and has been like this for
decades. Same for other ghettos/people ware houses in the West Bank.
