Israel increases the rate of killing Palestinians
Israel has increased the rate of killing Palestinians in various areas of the Gaza Strip, in response to the International Criminal Court’s decisions to issue arrest warrants against war criminals Netanyahu and Galant.
The statement issued by Netanyahu's office in response to the decision that he will continue his war and there is no force to stop him seems to be in harmony with the increase in the unjustified killing of civilians, but Israel has a means to continue its war, according to its claims, against what it describes as "Palestinian terrorism." This description contains a very dangerous equation. Israel, which kills and destroys everything in Gaza, is interested at this stage in continuing its massacres and war of extermination, because the United States, which has rejected international resolutions, and is the greatest devil of humanity that directs Israel, provides it with cover and supports it, is interested in continuing the war at the same pace, if not more, because any halt or reduction in operations will raise question marks in international public opinion. Therefore, Israel has decided to continue its aggression based on the slogans it raises, the most prominent of which is that it is waging the most just war in the world against terrorism, and this slogan alone is enough to make it continue killing and slaughtering civilians in the Gaza Strip.
The rate of killing has increased everywhere in the Strip. In one day, more than 120 people were killed and about 300 others were injured, in an indication of clear Israeli intentions to turn the Strip into a sea of blood even bigger than it is now.
Yesterday's toll was seven massacres, raising the total number of martyrs to more than 44,180. This toll is likely to rise dramatically in the coming days if Israel is not stopped and stopped from this most ferocious war in human history, in which women and children are killed in tents and shelters, and even those heading for a drink of water or a piece of bread, are cut off by planes and drones and their bodies are turned into pieces. This is what happened in Zeitoun, Nuseirat, Bureij, Khan Yunis and Rafah, in addition to the massacres in northern Gaza.
The mere rejection by the United States and the White House leadership in its current guise, or the one that will be renewed on January 20 with the inauguration of Trump as president, of the International Criminal Court’s decision, considering that what Israel is doing in the Gaza Strip of massacres against humanity are war crimes, means a new green light for the occupying entity to continue its crimes, and this rejection alone is enough to encourage Israel to tighten its grip on the Strip, and move to carry out more massacres of genocide, at the hands of an army that is the most dangerous to humanity through its racism and its orientation towards a war of revenge in response to October 7, 2023.
Before the ICC decision, the United Nations and Human Rights Watch issued two separate reports last week accusing Israel of having practices during the Gaza war that were consistent with the characteristics of genocide and amounted to a war crime. The Israeli military accused Human Rights Watch of “bias against Israel and distorting the facts,” and said in a statement: “This report, like other reports before it, presents selective information in a way that obscures the context, in addition to making some blatant distortions.” For its part, the United States considered that there was “no basis” for a special UN committee to consider that Israel’s practices during the Gaza war were “consistent with the characteristics of genocide.”
“This is something we disagree with unequivocally,” the State Department spokesman said, adding, “We believe that such formulations and such accusations are absolutely without merit,” and denouncing the Human Rights Watch report.
These statements and positions provide a clear answer to the question: Why does Israel continue its war of extermination? But the more important questions are: Can it be forced to implement the procedures of the Security Council resolutions and international courts? How can Israel be held accountable? And will the Arab and Western countries take the necessary measures to ensure the implementation of the will of the international community?
Answer: No, and the result is that the killing of Palestinians will continue indefinitely.
