Lots of emotions and carefully selected facts with the age old average tactic to bring whatever conclusion you like. Rhetoric is not the same as actuality. The baby, infant stuff is crude propaganda which gets us nowhere. The evidence doesn’t point to a genocidal aim, it points to the exact opposite. If this was genocide then why in 46 days of overwhelming bombing have so few people died? This would suggest incompetence on a vast scale by the Israeli armed forces. We might have heard by now from the Israeli government and its ubiquitous media machinery of a cull of army commanders. We haven’t, they haven’t. Israel is not targeting civilians as such, it is quite right to deny this. It is blowing up the building infrastructure and has done a good job on that but how good a job it is difficult to say because the same pictures keep circulating of flattened landscapes but the question remains how much of the entire landscape has been given this treatment? What Israel is doing is a classic terrorist campaign. How can a population of 2 million people be deeply, traumatically, individually widest amount of the population, be terrorised? That has been the strategy of the Israeli government and armed forces. Look what they’ve done. They’ve massacred Gazans, mass murdered them, not for the fun of it and because they are ‘evil’ whatever that means. Enough have to be killed and killed in every imaginable location, no safe place to be, food and water and electricity heavily restricted, internet shut for the strategic aim to be achieved. That aim is not mass murder and to use the word ‘genocide’ devalues that word, it is mass terror. This is a terrorist campaign and it’s been wonderfully achieved but people have a habit of forgetting the killing of family members and friends when a warm meal is put on the table and the hurricane of horrors has stopped for a week. Children, those merry imps, are running about the rubble, riding their bikes, laughing and talking in free verse as they do with each other. Mothers are washing and cooking and shopping in the time revered manner. So likely the Israelis haven’t done enough other than in the short term and on the surface of the mass body of the population. They have done as much as they could humanely do in six weeks against a background of world attention and disapprobation. But it is just part of their general plan with many other factors away from the war zone involved. They do not have absolute control of the situation as it brings in the whole region of countries in politically intense fashion. It brings in the geo political giants. I would sum up the whole affair as something far removed from some deaths in a small strip of land we none of us know or that much think about apart from when Israel launches one of its ‘spectaculars’ as the IRA called them. This is about the giant realignment of world powers dominating the present day world. Part of the unstoppable transition from West to East. Even Guardian readers counterparts are being murdered in Gaza. Oh the horror. How sad. We cannot manage our affairs without Guardian readers can we? Just what will we do?? In death the division and discrimination continues. Some dead are more important than other dead. I hate them.

Appalling that the fascist regime in Tel Aviv with that rabid vile murderer Netanyahu as current leader continues to lie and lie and lie by claiming they are waging war on Hamas. No that Tel Aviv fascist regime are committing mass murder/gynocide/genocide against Palestinian women, children and men and the fascist dictators in western countries including Sunak, Starmer and Biden have blood on their hands because they are condoning/collaborating with the fascist Israelis!

Very soon there won’t be any Palestinian women, children or men left in Gaza and then what will the fascist Israeli regime do next? Doubtless they’ll build settler sites and claim this land is ours for ever!
