Water is also being used as a weapon of war. In early March, a week after stopping any food or other humanitarian supplies from getting into Gaza, Israel cut off the electricity supply to Gaza’s main operational desalination plant. The situation now could not be more desperate. “Gaza is a killing field, and civilians are in an endless death loop,” the UN secretary general, António Guterres, said on Tuesday.
This is not an ‘aid blockade’ so much as it is a starvation campaign
Emboldened by Donald Trump and his visions of building hotels and casinos on top of these killing fields, Israel is not even trying to hide its aims any more. It wants to rid Gaza of Palestinians and annex the West Bank. And it will starve, kill and terrorize Palestinians until they “voluntarily” agree to leave en masse to somewhere like Sudan or Somalia – those being a couple of the countries the US and Israel have recently floated as potential relocation areas.
“We will see to the general security in the Gaza Strip and will allow the realization of the Trump plan for voluntary migration,” Benjamin Netanyahu recently said. “This is the plan. We are not hiding this and are ready to discuss it at any time.”
