The images we are seeing on our screens of the current ongoing aggression against people in Gaza by the Israeli occupation military force will be printed in our memory for a long time. Unfiltered images of dead children, women and elderly being barely retrieved from under the rubble that appears directly on the live stream and posting are impacting larger segments of audiences around the world. Seeing on screens, the magnitude of the Israeli warfare, airstrikes and heavy bombardments that is continuing to its 28th day. The 9000 massacred civilians in what is being labelled as holocaust-genocide of the Israeli aggression, who are left abandoned in the streets and under the rubble with no possibility of burying them due to the continuous bombardment everywhere and absent of supplies and means. Since the Balfour declaration, Palestinians are suffering of decades of Israeli occupation, multiple aggressions, and massacres against Palestinian and recently, committing genocide on live streams since 2021. Gaza entered an official state of humanitarian emergency in an apocalyptic reality that is impossible to comprehend.
This open and still ongoing genocide on Gaza while the world is still “watching” the raw and unfiltered footages coming directly from Gaza when the internet is not cutoff (as well as water, electricity, and humanitarian truce). We are already counting day 28 on 3 Nov. 2023 of Israeli aggression and atrocity on Gaza. The world is witnessing in silence the genocide against children, women and civilians living in besieged Gaza city in occupied Palestine while USA already approved today an additional $14.5 billion of military aid to Israeli occupation force.
Israel aggression on Gaza is comes in countering retaliation for what Hamas’ resistance fighters attack on 7th October 2023. Which is a perfect occasion for the Israeli occupation force, its allay in the western world as well as the mainstream-legacy media controlled by billionaire Keith Rupert Murdoch including Fox News, News Corp, Sky News, Sky, Fox, Wall Street Journal and other media outlets owned by News Corporation (https://newscorp.com), relentlessly reinforcing their cliche statement that is acting as a legitimizer for committing genocide against Palestinians citizens as Hamas resistance brigade are using them as human shields and they are putting their operations amongst citizens, mosques, churches, hospitals, schools and residential areas.
Gaza is a 45 km² which is twice the size of Washington D.C., the Israeli aggression supported by its biggest allay, the Americans, dropped what is equivalent to two nuclear bombs (around 25,000 tons of explosives) during the 28 days of its aggression while the mainstream media keeps calling it a “war” or with more accuracy Israeli-Hamas war as if the military power of the Israeli occupation force are equivalent to the occupation resistance brigade. Israel hits Gaza Strip with the equivalent of two nuclear bombs according to the press released by the Geneva-based Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor issued today; “the Israeli army has admitted to bombing over 12,000 targets in the Gaza Strip, with a record tally of bombs exceeding 10 kilograms of explosives per individual. Euro-Med Monitor highlighted that the weight of the nuclear bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan at the end of World War II in August 1945 was estimated at about 15,000 tons of explosives.”

Several Israelis including officials stated that the Palestinians are animals that must be wiped out entirely. The hospitals beside being targeted by Israeli warplanes, they are slowly getting out of service due to absence of electricity and medical supplies.
Going back to October 7th which is becoming the new September 11!
As it is almost impossible to see at least, unbiased media coverage since all of the western media is reciting over and over all the needed and dictated talk points that Israel needs to reinforce which we will not be repeating here but rather to refer to an adopted practice called as the “Hanible Directive” procedure which is the last resort measure that allowed troops to use massive force to prevent soldiers from being captured. There are several state-free media reports that indicate Israeli forces responsible for Israeli civilian and military deaths following October 7 attack.
The Urgent UN security council session that was held over 2 consecutive dates, rejected twice the changes on the draft submitted by Russia and Brazil on 25 October 2023. However, listening to the speeches from the European allies to Israel in a sort of “copy” and “paste” speeches justifying their vote for allowing the humanitarian truce – which never happened until now –; the need to condemn Hamas attack first and foremost, followed by Israel occupation force for self-defense in a desperate way that they would get the mere satisfaction of the Israelis. Immediate, when the Israeli occupation force ambassador to the UN, took again the podium to deliver his speech, he immediately attacked on several occasions, the 120 countries who allowed/voted yes for the humanitarian truce, his position from Antonio Guterres speech “this did not happen in the vacuum”, as well as to satisfy his need to imply and reinforce the narrative of “Jews” targeted hate. Gilad Erdan continue his controversial performances at the UN sessions and this time on 31 Oct. 2023 he and his team, wore the yellow star of David which distinguish the Jews when they were forced to wear it by the Nazis so they can be targeted, in an attempt to remind the UN council that they need to condemn Hamas atrocity/attack on 7th Oct. 2023.
The act of distinguishing in a visible way people, is a well practiced policy under the Israeli occupation from personal identification documents, car plates, streets where you can drive, marked territories, various levels of access-license given to the Palestinians, areas assigned alphabets indicated various level of control, to their control on all basic life essentials: water, electricity, gas, internet, mobility restrictions as well as children imprisonment.
