Ethnic cleansing is the goal of the fascist war of extermination on Gaza.

While there is no dispute that Netanyahu's main motives for resuming the war of extermination on the Gaza Strip were to preserve his government, bring the fascist Ben-Gvir back into its fold, and ensure the success of the budget vote in the Israeli Knesset, it is a mistake to believe that this was the sole motive for Israel's violation of the armistice agreement and its dangerous escalation, the brutality of which exceeded all restrictions and warnings. The greatest strategic motive for resuming the war of extermination was, without a doubt, Netanyahu and his fascist government's ambition to achieve what they had failed to achieve during 15 months of bloody war: the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip and the extermination of as many of its inhabitants as possible. This constitutes the core of the fascist Zionist ideology embodied by Netanyahu, who now promotes the theory of resolving the conflict with the Palestinian people by undermining their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state.

Anyone studying Netanyahu's political history and ideological thought, including what he explicitly wrote in his books "A Place in the Sun" and "Bibi," will find that he has dedicated his political life to preventing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and promoting his vision that all of Palestine is for Jews only. Netanyahu embodied this in his well-known campaign against Yitzhak Rabin and the Oslo Accords, despite their flaws, until the matter culminated in Rabin's assassination and his election as prime minister in 1996. From that moment, he devoted his energies to implementing his extremist racist ideology. He began by sabotaging all agreements with the Palestinians, implementing and expanding unprecedented colonial settlements in the West Bank, and making every effort to separate the West Bank from Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. Then, years before October 7, he arrogantly passed the "Nation-State Law" in the Knesset, which stipulated that the right to self-determination in Palestine was exclusive to Jews alone. Then, in cooperation with Trump and other US administrations, he sought to use normalization and the so-called "Abraham Accords" to isolate the Palestinian cause and liquidate it in all its components. He followed this with another law in the Knesset, along with numerous others, to prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Currently, through his bloody war in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, he is attempting to address the greatest challenge facing the Zionist movement: the demographic presence of Palestinians on Palestinian land in numbers exceeding the number of Jews, despite the displacement of no less than seven million Palestinians from their homeland.

Since Israel, with all its components in government and opposition, rejects the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and rejects the idea of a one-state democratic solution, there is only one solution for Zionist thought: to implement ethnic cleansing first of the residents of Gaza, and then of the residents of the West Bank.

Israel would not have dared to commit all these crimes, were it not for the absolute and declared American support for its crimes.

Netanyahu and the Zionist movement's leaders fed Trump this idea, until he dared to publicly advocate for it, despite knowing that his call to expel the people of Gaza from their homeland constituted a war crime under international law. But Trump backed down when he saw the global, Arab, and Islamic backlash against this idea, and the heroic steadfastness of the Palestinian people clinging to their land. This retreat was a source of concern for Netanyahu and the hardliners of the Zionist movement, who began escalating their violations of the ceasefire agreement they had signed and then repudiated, hoping that this escalation would lead to the restoration of American support for the idea of ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Perhaps the most dangerous idea that embodies this trend is what some Israeli military leaders have said, that they will reoccupy the entire Gaza Strip and establish the largest concentration camp in human history under the name of a small, alleged “safe zone” in the Gaza Strip. They will cram two million Palestinians into it, close its doors, and control who enters or leaves it. Then they will liquidate and kill everyone who remains outside. They will then begin a gradual deportation of the residents of the concentration camp to any place that will accept them, claiming that this is a “voluntary departure” for the Palestinians after placing them in stifling and deadly humanitarian conditions.

There is nothing more shameful than the American declaration of support for Israel's war of extermination in Gaza, and its attempt to hold the Palestinian side responsible for it. This is a disgusting and tiresome repetition of attempts to hold the victim accountable for the crimes they are subjected to at the hands of Israel's rulers. What is even more disgusting is the continued support of many Western parties for Israel, while refusing to condemn and impose sanctions on it. This is despite these parties' full knowledge of Israel's perpetration of more than 1,400 violations of the ceasefire agreement they signed, including the killing of 175 Palestinians during the ceasefire, its refusal to implement the agreement's provisions regarding the commencement of negotiations on the details of the second phase, its subsequent imposition of an unprecedented, suffocating blockade on the Gaza Strip, preventing the entry of a single piece of bread, pill, or glass of water to the two million people trapped there, and finally, the launching of the barbaric, comprehensive aerial bombardment and ground invasion, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of children, women, and defenseless civilians.

The rising fascism ruling Israel has begun to tear apart the internal structure of Israel itself, including the conflict that erupted over the dismissal of the head of the Shin Bet.

Israel would not have dared to commit all these crimes were it not for the absolute and declared support of the United States for its crimes, and were it not for the weakness of the Arab, Islamic, and international position, which did not go beyond statements and condemnations to the imposition of real sanctions on Israel, forcing it to stop its disregard for the most basic human rights and its complete disregard for and aggression against international law and international humanitarian law.

There is an unprecedentedly dangerous situation, not only in the Gaza Strip, but also in the West Bank. It can only be addressed through a unified Palestinian position and a unified national leadership based on a combative program to confront the crimes of ethnic cleansing, genocide, and collective punishment. It can also be addressed through an immediate Arab, Islamic, and international stance that threatens Israel with actual sanctions and makes the United States feel that its interests in the region will be at risk unless Trump reins in Netanyahu once again and compels him to halt his dangerous military escalation and commit to a ceasefire that leads to a full prisoner exchange, an end to the war, and a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.

Perhaps one of the ironies of fate is that the rising fascism ruling Israel has begun to tear apart the internal fabric of Israel itself, including the conflict that erupted over the dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, the government's intention to fire the attorney general, and Netanyahu's announcement that he would refuse to implement the Supreme Court's decision to freeze Bar's dismissal. As we expected, the brutal fascism directed against the Palestinian people has begun to erode its own internal fabric.
