210 Palestinians have been killed in Nuseirat and over 400 have been injured in an assault on the Nuseirat refugee camp. The IDF wants the focus to be on the 4 hostages that they recovered in this attack, but the cost of innocent Palestinians does not equate to a successful mission when this could have been achieved through negotiations. Remember that Hamas has offered all the hostages in exchange for a truce which would build into a permanent ceasefire which Israel is refusing because they want Hamas dissolved.
Israel is using the recovery of hostages to lay waste to Gaza and this attack demonstrates those tactics. They could bomb and kill as many innocent civilians as possible, while claiming it was all for the retrieval of hostages. In this attack, they were successful in freeing hostages but they have not been successful in the past and even killed many of the hostages Israel has sworn the war is in the name of those taken by Hamas.
What the big news outlets are not reporting is the use of the US “aid” pier in Gaza being used by the Israeli army for this massacre. It was not used to bring aid into Gaza, but to send troops into Gaza for Israel’s indiscriminate killing of Palestinians during the retrieval of hostages. There are reports coming out of Gaza that Israel used humanitarian aid trucks to disguise their military which then slaughtered hundreds of Palestinians. This is a clear war crime.
The US is scrambling to control the spin of their narrative regarding their role in the attack and the use of the “aid” pier. I had thought the US would utilize the pier for actual aid as a means to hold possible prosecution from the ICC at bay, but I was clearly far off the mark here and should have conjectured something much more sinister. Using the pier as a staging apparatus for the IDF is much more in line with the diabolical intent of the US government. US officials are doing everything to contain their role in the attack because there are also reports that US troops were involved in the Nuseirat massacre beyond the use of the pier for anything but aid. It is beyond the act of coincidence that the pier was fixed right before the attack on the refugee camp and that Israel directly utilized this pier to stage their attack.
Humanitarian organizations are demanding a comprehensive investigation into the role everyone played in the massacre. This is a necessity so that war crimes can be attributed and more arrest warrants be generated for those breaking international law. The fact that the US has released official statements to combat the narrative the US allowed Israel use of the pier and that US soldiers were involved in the massacre, which is what the US has done in the past with Israeli war crimes they were complicit in. The more something is denied, the more likely it was committed. If the US did not allow Israel use of the pier for these operations and US troops were not a part of the Nuseirat massacre, then be transparent and provide the proof that Israel did not use the pier.
If this supposed “aid” pier is actually to be used for humanitarian purposes, then humanitarian aid organizations should be in charge of the pier and not the military. There is no question of what the pier is being used for if aid groups are running the pier and shipments.
Israel and the US want the news to only revolve around the hostages that Israel recovered and not the deaths as a result of the hostage recovery, and definitely not the use of the pier for military operations or the involvement of US troops. The US is somewhat admitting they assisted Israel now but did not participate in the attack. One thing can be said about the US government and that their definitions are what they choose and what benefits them the most so “participate” could be twisted to mean something like US troops were present and directing the mission but did not actively fire on Palestinians or even more involvement than this possibility. It’s very telling that the US is now backtracking and saying that they assisted when they have released a statement prior to this information saying they were completely uninvolved in the attack. Conflicting information means that they can’t get the story straight and are trying to appear innocent when blood is on their hands.
Be aware of the spin in the media. Be aware of the spin from western governments.
Always call out war crimes that Israel and the US have committed and hold them accountable. Don’t ever let up until a permanent ceasefire is achieved and Palestine is free.
From the river to the sea, may Palestine be free. May the whole world be free.
