As a Christian, I am duty bound to write about this genocide and apartheid of the new millennium. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists broke through the Gaza fence and killed innocent civilians including Israeli women, children and defence forces resulting in the deaths of around 1,219 people. This a brazen highly condemnable terrorist act. There were unverified warnings from Egypt and Israeli Mossad that Hamas is planning to attack Israel but the troops were allegedly told to stand down before and during the attack with minor resistance. There were unverified allegations that some of the Israeli hostages that were taken by Hamas were shot dead deliberately to prevent unbalanced hostage exchange and also the Israeli Prime Minister needed a distraction because of corruption charges against him facing stiff opposition from his adversaries and Israelites with mass street demonstrations and that this attack will ween them away from this opposition. Prior to this attack the Prime Minister had consented to the transfer of 7 billion dollars from Qatar to Hamas based from reports, in an attempt to divide the ruling Fatah in the West Bank against Hamas which rules Gaza.
The Israeli response started on the same day that Hamas attacked Israel. Initially, Israel attacked Hamas positions with Hamas responding using its rockets. From January 2024 onwards, the tide changed when Hamas ran out of rockets and Israel switched from bombing specific targets to random carpet bombings of entire communities, towns, cities thereby killing innocent civilians irrespective of age and sex. 7 hospitals, 16 churches, uncountable schools, colleges, offices, residential buildings, journalists, paramedics and aid workers were all bombed in Gaza in the name of killing Hamas whom Israel alleges that Hamas is hiding in all these places.
Besides carpet bombings, Israel employs a policy of sweeping starvation of the Gaza people by blocking humongous quantities of water, food aid and medicines. Starvation of infants and children was observed in the homes and hospitals. They allow babies to rot in incubators in the hospitals by cutting off the electricity supply. Lack of medicines resulted in deaths of the sick and children in hospitals and in their homes. When eminent activist Greta Thunberg and her crew went by boat to deliver aid to the starving Gaza people, they were threatened with military action, arrested, harassed and deported.
The Cost of War Project reports that 232 journalists have been killed in the Gaza war, that is 13 journalists killed per month, more than WW1, WW2, Vietnam Yugoslavia and Afghan wars combined. Medical Aid for Palestinians reports that 1,722 healthcare workers were killed in Gaza that is 2 health workers killed per day. 15 Palestinian medic aid workers were killed and their bodies, along with their emergency vehicles, were found buried in a mass grave in Rafah, Gaza in late March 2025. Starving children are homeless, their parents and relatives killed with nowhere else to go. Chemical weapons like white phosphorus are used in this war as was seen on the burnt skin of the infants and children. Infants and children are seen buried under the rubble with most of them taken out dead. Little children- infants fleeing the bombing, in the streets, in their semi destroyed homes, those gathering food aid are shot dead as trophy killing by Israeli snipers which are seen bragging on social media platforms competing amongst themselves about how many infants and children they have killed per day. This is Nazi -like treatment of Jewish children where the “Once Victim” is now the “Perpetrator”. The Israeli forces stated that those children were tagged with bombs, hence were shot dead. Israel violates this ceasefire and continues to bomb Gaza because Gazans are defenceless with no means of retaliation. This point is evident in its conflict with Iran when Israel quickly sued for a ceasefire since advanced Iranian missiles were hitting them.
Unconfirmed reports state there are more than one hundred thousand estimated civilian deaths with more than twenty thousand children killed in the 2 years and 2 months of this war. Instead of punishing Hamas only; 2 million people of all ages are collectively punished through blood guilt irrespective of religion using killings, starvation and displacements. During the ceasefire, there are many restrictions on food, water and medicines. International journalists are banned from directly reporting from Gaza since the war starts till now on the frivolous excuse that they may get bombed.
Israel has the most technologically advanced weapons funded by America, with American made precision weapons and a long-standing battle tested military. Israel specifically eliminated Iranian scientists using a careless driver, used mobiles which blew up in a Hezbollah stronghold, blew up flats of Iranian scientists, specifically targeted buildings, specifically killed terrorists leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah in targeted bombings yet it makes nonsensical claims to have mistaken bombed innumerable number of times, the densely inhabited civilian areas, schools, hospitals, churches like the oldest church in Gaza; St Porphyrius, killing 24 people including infants, children, women and nuns using this naked sorry of an excuse.
Zionist Americans and Christian Zionists in the USA are blind to the starvation, apartheid and genocide of innocent Gazans, imprisonments, rape, torture and custodial deaths. Palestinians are scared of the IDF, the Mossad and their nuclear bombs such as when the Israeli Heritage Minister had suggested nuking Gaza. The Prime Minister in a leaked 2003 video said that the Zionist have a higher cause in which all the rules of morality are thrown away which is evident from his abhorrent treatment of Gaza. This regime does not care about Muslims or Christians in which it bombed multiple churches and mosques in Gaza and killed Muslims and Christians alike.
When traumatized Gazans carried white flags to collect food, moved out from bombed homes, were forced to flee to other secure places, even their infants and children; were shot dead in spite of all this suffering. This is possible because of the evil teachings in the Talmud, the main book of Rabbinical Judaism which considers all non-Jews as sub-humans. Palestinians are considered as “vermin and animals”. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, indicted by the ICC for War Crimes with an arrest warrant against him has compared Palestinians as Amalekites from the Old Testament of the Bible whom the Jews nipped them, root and stem and stopped their bloodline altogether. That is their mindset which enabled this regime to commit heinous war crimes.
Focus on Palestinian Children: They are the only kids in the world who are prosecuted in military courts. These children are stripped, searched, sexually abused in jails, have no access to their families, denied representation transferred to other jails with adults and beaten during arrests and inside the jails. They are held without trial or secret trial, without evidence or shady evidence. They can spend a year in jail just for insulting the honour of an IDF soldier, imprisoned for 10-20 years for throwing stones at IDF soldier(s) and denied visits by the Red Cross. According to a survey, 65% of children are arrested at night and 69% of children are stripped and searched. No other country of knowledge in the world does these vile repulsive actions against children.
According to a poll conducted by the Washington Post, 61% of American Jews stated that the crimes committed in the Gaza War constitute war crimes and 40% of them state that it is a genocide. Norman Finkelstein, a white Ashkenazi Jew, said that “Israelis are an obnoxious, narcissistic and supremist lot”. Dave Smith and other Jewish groups like Jews for Palestine spoke against these atrocities against the Palestinians.
American people, their lawmakers and their government are in the grip of the rich Jewish oligarchy who donate generously to politicians to fight, legislate and vote for Israel in the US and at the UN coupled with political talk shows and podcasts to blind the world from the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza in which America is complicit with its military and financial aid in this Gaza war. America has turned a blind eye to the genocide. America talks about transferring the Gazans from their homeland to other countries, establishing its military base, resorts and casinos at the expense of the Gazans. Jews and non-Jews in Israel and America who spoke against the genocide are silenced or cancelled. The Zionist American Jews blackmail US politicians, influence them and cover up their crimes which the US government knows but is mute. More than ten thousand Israeli soldiers suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Around three hundred Israeli soldiers have attempted suicide with sixteen of them having succeed and many more unreported cases because of family shame. Crimes like these are never easily forgotten. Israel is not removing terror but creating new Hamas and terror outfits in the region with more hatred and animosity towards the benefactor, the USA and Isreal.
