New dire reports about Gaza

The mainstream seems to have largely stopped reporting on Gaza. But the Zionist genocide of the population of Gaza continues. Haaretz goes on to document how the Zionist forces on the ground are doing it:
” No civilians. Everyone 's a Terrorist': IDF Soldiers Reveal Indiscriminate Killings and Widespread Lawlessness in Gaza's Netzarim Corridor – (Archived) – Haaretz
"Out of 200 bodies, only 10 were confirmed to be Hamas members": IDF soldiers serving in Gaza tell Haaretz that anyone who crosses an imaginary line in the disputed Neztarim Corridor is shot dead, and that every Palestinian victim is counted as a terrorist - even if they are only children
The Neztarim Corridor is a line from Gaza's eastern border to the sea. The Zionists destroyed all buildings in the area to separate northern Gaza from the south. Every day, the soldiers who "guard" the corridor are ordered to commit arbitrary murders:
The Netzarim Corridor, a seven kilometer wide strip of land, stretches from the vicinity of Kibbutz Be'eri to the Mediterranean coast. The IDF has emptied this area of Palestinian residents and demolished their homes to build military roads and military positions.
Although Palestinians are officially banned from entering the area, the reality is more serious than a simple exclusion zone. "It's a military cover-up ," explains a senior officer in Division 252, who has served three times in Gaza. “The division chief has designated this area a 'kill zone'. Anyone who goes in there will be shot.”
It is not the work of rogue soldiers but the policy of the military:
“We approached the blood-covered body, photographed it and took the phone. He was just a boy, maybe 16.” An intelligence officer collected the items, and hours later the soldiers learned that the boy was not a Hamas operative - but just a civilian. "In the evening, our battalion commander congratulated us on killing one terrorist and said he hoped we would kill ten more tomorrow," the soldier says. “When someone pointed out that he was unarmed and looked like a civilian, everyone shouted him down. The commander said: 'Everyone who crosses the line is a terrorist, no exceptions, no civilians. Everyone is a terrorist.'
In another incident, observation posts saw two people walking towards Wadi Gaza, an area designated as a restricted area. A drone revealed them carrying a white flag and walking with raised hands. The deputy battalion commander ordered the troops to shoot to kill. When a commander protested, pointing to the white flag and suggesting they might be hostages, he was overpowered. "I don't know what a white flag is, shoot to kill," insisted the deputy commander, a reservist from Brigade 5. The two men eventually turned back south, but the protesting commander was branded a coward.
A reservist from Division 99 describes how he saw a drone that showed "an adult with two children crossing the forbidden line". They went unarmed and seemed to be looking for something. "We had them under complete surveillance with the drone and guns pointed at them - they couldn't do anything ," he says. “Suddenly we heard a huge explosion. A helicopter gunship had fired a missile at them. Who thinks it is legitimate to fire a missile at children? And with a helicopter? This is pure evil.”
It is not just the indiscriminate killing of anyone seen within a certain death row, but the systematic deprivation of water, food and medical supplies to the entire population.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is the latest of many such organizations to state that this is clearly deliberate genocide:
Gaza's Death Trap: MSF Report Exposes Israel's Campaign of Total Destruction - MSF
"People in Gaza are struggling to survive in apocalyptic conditions, but nowhere is they safe, no one is spared and there is no way out of this fractured enclave ," said Christopher Lockyear, MSF Secretary General, who visited Gaza earlier this year.
"The recent military offensive in the north is a clear illustration of the brutal war that the Israeli forces are waging against Gaza, and we see clear signs of ethnic cleansing as Palestinians are forcibly displaced, trapped and bombed ," says Lockyear. "What our medical teams have witnessed on the ground throughout this conflict is consistent with the descriptions given by a growing number of legal experts and organizations who conclude that genocide is taking place in Gaza."
"While we do not have the legal authority to determine intent, the signs of ethnic cleansing and the ongoing devastation – including mass killings, severe physical and psychological harm, forced displacement and impossible living conditions for Palestinians under siege and bombardment – are undeniable," adds Lockyear.
From the report :
Throughout the offensive, the Israeli forces have prevented essential supplies such as food, water and medical supplies from entering the strip. They have either denied, delayed or instrumentalized humanitarian aid and allowed paltry amounts of aid into Gaza with complete disregard for the actual needs and suffering of the population.
Every day, the Zionist army continues to violently kill dozens of people in Gaza. But less noticed are those who die because of the lack of means needed to live. Every week, thousands of people perish because some fanatics believe that their mere existence makes them superior to others.
It doesn't.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict
That was a good rhetorical question.
This is no laughing matter, but just like Mullah Nasruddin , Mr. Netanyahu might well ask you, “Who do you believe? Me or the donkey?”
Benjamin Netanyahu will tell you to do yourself a favour and read about Amalek !
which is to be found in Torah : Devarim / Deuteronomy 25:17–19
which states ( New International Version (NIV) :
“17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt. 18 When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey and attacked all who were lagging behind; they had no fear of God. 19 When the Lord your God gives you rest from all the enemies around you in the land he is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you shall blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!”
And, later on the Divine command about Amalek that was given to Saul through the Prophet Samuel.
Saul, King Saul is generally charged with having too much chesed.
Judaism : Chesed
You may well ask, can a person have too much chesed ?
Benjamin Netanyahu will also tell you what you already probably know : that October 7 was the day when the most Jews were murdered and slaughtered in one day since the Holocaust
In his short review of the history of the Holocaust, he might even mention “Hitler’s Mufti”
