Israel, the genocidal and racist apartheid state, has once again carried out another devastating assault against the Gaza Strip, killing and murdering and maiming many Palestinian civilians.
The murderous onslaught, apparently totally unprovoked, began shortly before dawn on 8 May, when Israeli warplanes attacked several Palestinian homes the Israeli army claimed belonged to Islamic Jihad activists.
As many as 15 people were killed, including four children and two women so far, More than 60 civilians were injured, some sustaining life-threatening wounds.
Israel called the murdered Palestinian civilians in Gaza a mere “collateral damage,” expressing no feeling of guilt or regret.

Since the beginning of this year, Israel has murdered as many as 120 Palestinians mainly in the occupied West Bank .
According to human rights organizations, Israel has murdered more than 1700 Palestinian children under the age of 18 since 2008 in both the West Bank and Gaza.
The habitual unmitigated murder of Palestinian civilians in the West Bank and Gaza by Israel is widely considered an established policy of successive Israeli governments.
The effective banality of spilling Palestinian blood by the manifestly barbaric Israeli army seems to have created a callous and cruel society, whose main concern is focused on Justifying the virtually daily atrocities rather than voicing any compunctions about the systematic destruction of civilian lives.
Israel: Mendacious claims
However, the large and disproportionate number of innocent civilians killed in unceasing and unrelenting Israeli raids in the West Bank and Gaza Strip shows that Israel murders civilians knowingly and deliberately.
Israel routinely claims it doesn’t deliberately target innocent civilians.
It underscores that the claim of the absence of malice is just a propaganda lie aimed at whitewashing crimes and justifying a murderous policy.
One Palestinian commentator, Mustafa Barghouthi, described Israel as ” continually inebriated by Palestinian blood.”
Genocidal propensity
There are mounting indications that the current Israeli government, universally viewed as the most fascist and racist since the establishment of the Zionist entity, is harbouring serious genocidal tendencies against the vulnerable Palestinian people.
About two months ago, the Israeli army allowed Nazi-like Jewish settlers to carry out a hair-raising pogrom at the Palestinian town of Huwwara, south of Nablus in the West Bank.

The settlers vandalized property and set homes on fire, with residents inside, as Israeli soldiers were looking on, passively or gleefully.
Israeli officials sought to downplay the outrageous crime, describing it as an “isolated incident.”
It was amply clear that the Huwwara pogrom was intended to test the international reactions, especially American, to any “qualitative” escalation of the rampage of murder and terror against the increasingly abandoned and helpless Palestinians.
Israel: Sigh of relief
More to the point, Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, a veteran criminal par excellance, and his two Nazi-like ministers, Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, breathed a sigh of relief when the Biden administration treated the pogrom with the usual hypocritical ambivalence and indifference characterizing the long-standing American policy toward the Palestinian issue.
The unethical American stance was viewed as an effective green light for the Netanyahu government to murder more Palestinian children and other civilians.
Hence, there is mounting anxiety among political observers that the occupied territories are already witnessing a real “Nazification and genocidalization” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, thanks to unbridled Israeli barbarianism against the Palestinian populace.
Israel: Vicious goals
The latest murderous onslaught in Gaza is ostensibly designed to achieve several goals: First, to reunify the divided Israeli public following the massive demonstrations against the proposed judiciary overhaul.
The second aim, which is an existential variable in the overall Israeli discourse toward the Palestinians, is simply to satiate the insatiable Israeli public’s thirst for Palestinian blood, which increases the popularity of the government in power.
The third goal is undoubtedly to completely crush any expression of Palestinian resistance to Israel’s increasingly insolent policies.
This conspicuous arrogance takes many forms, including the nearly daily provocations at the Aqsa Mosque as well as the rabid settlement expansion of Jewish settlement activities as well as the daily confiscation of Palestinian land in the West Bank.
Israel is hoping that the bullying and “pacification” of the Palestinians will eventually enable the Zionist entity to liquidate the Palestinian cause through organized violence and terror, coupled with de facto inaction on the part of the international community. (end)
