Israel plots to empty Gaza amid media silence

And Israel is burning alive Palestinian children amid a media blackout

Israel is planning to drive out Gaza’s surviving population using the cover of media silence.

Meanwhile, despite a supposed ‘ceasefire’, it is burning children alive in tents, killing little kids as they collect firewood, and refusing to let in aid.

Mass graves of civilians who were slaughtered by the Israeli military as they desperately tried to get food for their families are being uncovered.

Here are just some of the recent horrors in Gaza, which underline why we need to keep talking about Gaza - because Israel’s genocide never ended.

Let’s start with Israel’s repeatedly stated plan to empty Gaza of its Palestinian population. Sky News has published an article headlined ‘Rafah crossing to open ‘in coming days’ to let Gazans cross into Egypt, Israel says’

Here is a classic example of Western media outlets regurgitating Israeli propaganda without informing people of the actual truth - or indeed Israel’s repeatedly stated intent. Most would read this and interpret it as a humanitarian gesture of some description.

So let’s just read this in The Times of Israel:

An Israeli official, who spoke anonymously to the Associated Press to discuss operational plans, said that all Palestinians who want to exit Gaza will be able to exit through Rafah as long as Egypt agrees to receive them, but the crossing won’t be open for people wishing to return to Gaza. The official said the EU still had to make some adjustments to logistics before the crossing could open.

There were no details on when Palestinians who leave Gaza would be able to return to the Strip via the crossing.

There are no such details because Israel has no intention of letting Palestinians return to Gaza. The plan is to empty Gaza of its population and dress this up as a voluntary or indeed humanitarian gesture.

What has actually happened is that Israel has wiped Gaza from the face of the earth, slaughtered over a hundred thousand people (excluding indirect deaths), maimed many others, starved its people - and indeed continues to do so - destroyed Gaza’s hospitals and murdered its doctors and nurses, destroyed its schools, destroyed other basic pillars of civilisation - from libraries to mosques, destroyed its agriculture and food production and livestock - we could go on.

In short, Israel has inflicted apocalyptic carnage on Gaza and made it deliberately uninhabitable. It has deliberately inflicted conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of the Palestinian people - in other words, genocide. Which is why emptying out the population, as it has repeatedly committed to, is simply one means to complete that genocide.

As the Egyptian regime has made clear, the ceasefire agreement stipulates that any agreement to open the Rafah Crossing will mean that traffic is open in both directions, thus allowing the Palestinian people to return.

Eylon Levy, the British-Israeli propagandist and indeed former spokesperson to Benjamin Netanyahu, a wanted man due to the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity, posts in response to the Egyptian position:

Well, Eylon, if Israel wants to do what is right, it would allow the Rafah Crossing to be fully open from both sides, end the continued siege on Gaza, cease its bombing of Gaza, pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, and hand over its leaders to the International Criminal Court.

Earlier this year, Donald Trump committed to emptying Gaza of its population and turning Gaza into a resort. Israel backed that plan, and Israeli leaders and officials have repeatedly committed to emptying Gaza - and indeed settling it with Israeli colonisers.

We know Israel has set up what has been called the ‘Voluntary Migration Administration’, a secret department, and there are already reports of Palestinians who have been allowed to leave, for example, for medical reasons, have been forced to sign forms agreeing never to return.

If you want an insight into the evil of this world, how about this? You can now bet on Polymarket as to whether there will be a “Gaza mass population relocation” by the end of this year. You can also bet on Kalshi as to whether there will be famine in Gaza - who have already paid out on that one. Being able to bet on and profit from genocide. How far from dystopia are we really?

Meanwhile, the so-called ceasefire remains a travesty. Last night and today, Israel attacked al Mawasi and burned several Palestinians alive in their tents.

That included a father and his two beautiful young boys. Little children who have only known on this earth suffering, pain, violence, hunger, then burned alive during a so-called ceasefire, while the world remained silent.

Imagine Hamas had just burned alive Israeli children. Would anyone call that a ‘ceasefire’? No: it would lead every news bulletin, be splashed on every front page. A chorus of outrage and condemnation from Western leaders would be deafening, as they pointed to such horror as evidence of the unique evil of Hamas. But not so here - because these are Palestinian lives, and Palestinian life is deemed to have no meaning.

In another example, the IDF released a statement claiming they had “identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, carried out suspicious activities, and approached the troops in southern Gaza, posing an immediate threat. The IAF[air force] eliminated the suspects to remove the threat.”

Who exactly were these clearly dangerous looking suspects who the Israeli military decided they had clear justification to murder?

They were 8 year old Goma Abu Assi and 11 year old Fadi Abu Assi. They were little boys, little kids, trying to collect firewood.

Here is just one obscene example of how the IDF labels anyone they want as a suspect whom they can slaughter.

Israel continues to stop aid getting into Gaza. Again, in violation of the ceasefire, Israel has only allowed one-fifth of the aid trucks that were promised to enter.

The British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper says:

The situation in Gaza remains dire, with worsening weather conditions compounding the critical issues caused by damaged infrastructure and over two years of conflict.

She goes on to say in reference to UK-funded teents:

Parents have been trying to shelter their children under broken roofs and open skies.” In reference to UK-funded tents, she says:

These tents will provide a lifeline to thousands of people needing shelter, protecting them from the cold winds and relentless rain turning rubble into mud.

But the Foreign Office statement notes that “the movement of these tents represents months of ongoing work by the international community to push for greater aid access. Cooper states that “Earlier this year I saw yet another consignment of aid stuck at the border in Jordan. This cannot be allowed to continue.”

Note how she once again refuses to name the party responsible for blocking UK-funded tents and other aid shipments from getting into Gaza - that is, Britain’s ally, Israel.

She refuses to commit to any actual action to put pressure on Israel - like ending all arms sales: Britain has provided the crucial components needed for Israel’s F-35 jets to bomb Gaza and destroy homes, thus forcing Palestinians to need tents. Britain continues to do trade worth £6 billion a year with Israel, and continues to refuse to impose sweeping sanctions.

And finally, a mass grave has been uncovered in Gaza. Before the so-called “ceasefire”, Israel massacred around 2,000 Palestinians seeking aid around sites run by the hideously misnamed and now terminated Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. They then bulldozed some of those bodies into unmarked graves, a violation of international law as per the mistreatment of bodies, ensuring that their loved ones cannot find them.

Israel’s genocide is not over. This heinous crime of historic proportions continues. And we must keep speaking out, as the Western media continues to suppress the truth.
