The destruction and extermination continue. A thousand civilians murdered
in one week alone, flattening what remains of Gaza and starving what
remains of its people. Hundreds now die of starvation and diseases weekly
(don’t be fooled by the tokenism of few trucks ‘allowed’ in many of them
carrying shrouds for the dead). Here in the West Bank destruction of the
refugee camps in Jenin and elsewhere continued and in my town of Beit
Sahour, they just destroyed a local park which served people in our ghetto.
The crude racism inherent in colonialism and imperialism is not new. The
destruction of indigenous societies is not new. The collusion and
corruption of some of the local people helping the genocidal maniacs is not
new. That there is local resistance and that it will not stop is not new
(see my book on the resistance
http://qumsiyeh.org/popularresistanceinpalestine/). One thing different in
our situation compared to hundreds of territories colonized before is that
the project of colonization was/is aided and abetted (full partnership) of
many colonizer states (Israeli, US, Britain, France, Germany etc). Never in
history has so many oppressive regimes colluded against one indigenous
people (don’t be fooled by the supposed new language used by these regimes’
leaders). But the positive side is that this has led to a global uprising
(intifada), the second thing that is different. Thus we must continue and
grow this global uprising. Palestine leads the way to a global awakening!!
We need to accelerate. More BDS, more demonstrations, more confrontations
with slimy politicians, more action (see http://qumsiyeh.org/whatyoucando/
for ideas). Our collective global future depends on this and the world is
thankful. Palestine genocide is a flame that exposes the rotten system and
will help dismantle it. We shall overcome someday!. We know it.

Don’t be fooled. Israeli Right wing newspaper: key minister Smotrich
explains genocide policies
https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-854536
But according to Israeli left wing media outlets, the real reason he agreed
to allow few trucks in according to is not avoiding genocide charges (after
all he approved for 19 months use of starvation). The real reason is that
Netanyahu agreed and approved 22 new colonial settlements in the West Bank
that Smotrich wanted (he is a racist colonial settler). These were approved
in the same session of the Israeli government (quid pro quo). Are there
still any fools out there that believe in “two states” (see my 2004 book
http://qumsiyeh.org/sharingthelandofcanaan/).
