Israeli
Genocide Against Palestinians
This
is the first book in the trilogy of Gaza
books
A
Few Excerpts from this Book
“While
the world was waiting and watching for a settlement of the Central European
crisis, Gazans were dying from starvation and from wounds inflicted by
Israeli bombs. Much of the world had ignored the suffering there in the same
way nations did during the 1930s and 1940s when the United States and its
allies were indifferent to the Nazi slaughter of millions of Jews in Europe.”
Chapter
One
Netanyahu
Genocide in Gaza, Rafah
This
book chronicles the chronology of atrocities committed by Netanyahu, captured
in snippets from news, media, articles and analysis.
Ancient
history records Israel as a mythical state torn out of the pages of Biblical
Exodus. In modern history it is carved out of Palestine by Imperial British,
gifted to Israelis when they evacuated Palestine Year 1948, ending their hold
of Divide and Rule.
This
first book in the trilogy of Israeli Genocide Against Palestinians captures the
hopeless, helpless pain of the Palestinians who have suffered decades of
deaths, displacement, degradation by Israeli overwhelming aggression. What
started this war in the first place by Hamas is to circle backs to the Nakba in
historic perspective of several years, mirroring final eruption of volcanic
magnitude which swept over Gaza with the speed of lightning. To make sense of
why and what happened is unfolded in each chapter with historic perspective
with cause and effect of violence endured and violence perpetrated throughout
the years. Taking the time to absorb the searing effect of this culmination of
tragedy and to render it voice is urgent plea to the world to stop the cyclical
onslaught of genocides, ethnic cleansing. Aim of this book is to stop the
pendulum of mass slaughter, war on kids, women, physicians, journalists. Such
barbarity which our so-called civilized world has not seen since Jewish
Holocaust should not be allowed in Century Twenty-One. Each word on each
shuddering page of this book is witness to horrors of famine, hunger, thirst,
disease, of deprivation of displaced Palestinians. Destruction of homes,
schools, churches, mosques, hospitals, maternity wards, add to the trauma of
Draconian death traps as GHF sites, killing thousands of kids, men, women,
elderly in hope of getting a bag of flour or to fill their plastic containers
with water. Violence of masked Jewish settlers in West Bank, forcing
Palestinians to flee. The new release of film Collapse is perfect match to the
essence of this book with the words of Imre Kertersz, writer and Holocaust
survivor himself. “Yet we regarded all this with indifference.”
“Thou
art creeping through life—a pygmy soul, carrying a dead body to its grave.”
Marcus Aurelius
Chapter Two
Nakba Revisited
Nakba for sure for the Palestinians after
seventy-six years of Israeli Russian Jewish settlers, occupation, oppression,
violence. Netanyahu genocide, call it for what it is worth, turning nation of
Gaza into cripples for the living dead inside the graveyard under rubble.
Siege, starvation, bombings, cries of babies, women, families, burnt alive in
camps.
Well, enough of mutilations, atrocities,
ongoing slaughter, which has nothing to do with US, yet it has everything to do
with US, with election interference by Netanyahu terrorist.
Anyone ready for ceasefire, or
two-state-solution for permanent peace in the Middle East?
Netanyahu in stark defiance to US
continued his spree of genocide, brutalities, destruction in wake of
humanitarian crisis that he created with landfill of famine, disease,
intolerable of sufferings. Israel had broken the Humanitarian Law a thousand
times over and Israeli atrocities continued as the impotent world gazed on
without even a grain of compassion that the blood of innocent Palestinians and
agonized cries of mothers with crippled babies might earn a two-state-solution,
separate Israel and Palestine states for peace in the Middle East. Palestine,
in fact was the homeland of Palestinians, usurped by Israelis and Jewish
settlers from Russia.
“Israel alone has the right to attack, to
defend itself,” is that it, what’s wrong with that picture?
Israel’s unprovoked strike on Consulate in
Damascus, Syria, killing seven, including Tehran’s senior general, provoked
Iran to retaliate.
Is Netanyahu intent on carving a streak of
retaliations? One must be blind to reject that Israel keeps committing
genocide, reek of denials can’t conceal the stench of 33, 000 + civilians dead,
more than half of those kids and women. Recently West Bank biggest rampage was
completely ignored by Israel allies. Also, Israel killing Palestinians while
they tried to return to Gaza, turning back under the fire of missiles.
“Gone from each flame, each sacred shrine
Are
those who made this realm divine” Virgil
Chapter Three
Israel savagery
“But there, where spreads the infinite sky
For the soul to
take her flight in
Reigns the
stainless white radiance
There is no
day, nor night
Nor form, nor
color
And never,
never a word” Tagore
To quote snippets from The New York Times,
UN report of abuse in Israeli detention, savagery behind the scenes, which are
worthy of awakening empathy, if not opening a window of global
conscience. “Palestinian detainees were made to sit on their knees
for hours with their hands tied, while blindfolded, deprived of food and water.
Being urinated on, badly beaten with metal bars, forced into cages and attacked
by dogs. Detainees were also made to lie on thin mattresses on top of rubble
for hours without food, water or access to toilet, with their legs and hands
bound with plastic ties. One woman was threatened by Israeli officers that her
whole family would be killed in an airstrike if she didn’t provide more
information. One man was forced to sit on an electrical probe that burned his
anus. Some Gazans were beaten on their genitals, aggressively searched and
sexually groped. One woman was forced to strip in front of male officers. Some
of UNRWA staff members were beaten, stripped, humiliated and abused while being
detained by Israeli authorities. During interrogations, they were pressured to
say that UNRWA had affiliations with Hamas and that its staff members took part
in the Oct. 7 attack.”
Can US “Iron-clad commitment” to Israel
stop in wake of Netanyahu’s defiance and his continual spree of genocide in
Gaza, Rafah? Call it by name, what it is. It is moral duty of US not to enable
Netanyahu with military aid to kill more Palestinians. Instead, morally grand
it is, to send aid to the victims of Palestine to avert famine, to heal the
wounded, to restore water, electricity to areas destroyed by Israeli bombings,
to build homes. To provide shelter, medicine, basic human needs for sheer
survival. Anything less than that is unethical, cowardliness, heartlessness on
part of whole world, neglecting to protect the dignity of life.
Terrorism can’t be stopped by terrorists.
Retaliations generate engines of retaliations. Netanyahu has succeeded in
making Palestinians a generation of cripples and it is up to the world to
redeem itself by honoring two-state-solution, independent Israel and Palestine,
to truncate insanity of Netanyahu.
Still time for intelligent, compassionate
Israelis to save the lives of their loved ones held hostage by Hamas. To elect
a sane leader who cares for Israelis, listens to God of Israel, commanding
peace, not slaughter.
Chapter Four
Netanyahu’s Renewal of Brutalities
A Little History
Palestine
name first referred by ancient Greeks was an area in the Middle East between
the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. It was absorbed by the Ottoman
Empire Year 1517 until the World War. At the end of the war Turks were defeated
by the British forces who began ruling the homeland of the Palestinians from
1920 to 1948, the land called Palestine. Since Palestinians helped the British
to defeat the Turks, a League of Nations Mandate was drawn out under McMahan
Agreement that British would return their homeland to the rightful owners,
Palestinians. Though British later denied that they ever made such a promise
under any Agreement. By British the same area of land was also promised to the
Jews as the Jews claimed under the Belfour Declaration. In Year 1920 many Jews
migrated to that area and lived in the much-populated area of the Arabs, both
Jews and Arabs living together in friendly relationships. In Year 1929 the
relations between the Jews and the Arabs soured due to the focal point of
discontent concerning Jerusalem which resulted in violence. Yet, many more Jews
kept migrating to Palestine between years 1931 to 1940. Due to the rise of
violence and increasing number of Jews in Palestine outnumbering Palestinians,
British put a quota on number of Jews who could enter Palestine in any one
year. During the WW11, many Jews fought for allies against Nazi Germany and
gained much military prowess. When the war ended in Year 1945, they used their
skills in acts of terrorism. In the aftermath of Holocaust, the British gave
Jews the hope that they would be given more rights in Palestine. Of course, at
the expense of the Arabs in Palestine, the British knew beforehand. As the
terror acts of the Jews increased, destroying even the British Military
Headquarters in Palestine the British decided they would eventually leave. In
Year 1947 United Nations accepted that idea-promise of the British to partition
Palestine into Israel for Jews and Palestine for Arabs. May 14, 1948 the
British withdrew from the Palestine and the Palestinians began their own
counter-terror attacks lasting from May 1948 to January 1949, not recognizing
Israel as part of the Palestine. To Palestinian Arabs the area the Jews call
Israel, will always be Palestine. To Jews it is Israel. Thus began the conflict
when the British policy of Divide and Rule ended in departure from Palestine,
and it continues to this day. Much like the partition of India and Pakistan
1947 as described in the book, Holocaust of the East. The same Divide and Rule
policy, leaving behind a thorn of Kashmir which belongs only to Kashmiris,
neither to India, nor to Pakistan. History has been written and rewritten many
times over in several books by different authors. Facts contradicted by facts,
discrepancies passed as factual. As for the claim “Palestinians siding with
Nazi Germany during WW11” many scholars write otherwise and challenge this
claim. Arguing that Fascism was discussed by the Arabs alongside other
political ideologies. And the Arab Palestinians themselves were deprecated by
Hitler as racially inferior to Germans. However, the radical Jewish groups
employed terrorism against the British forces in Palestine, accusing them of
betraying their Zionist cause. At the end of WW11 1945 United States took up
Zionist Cause.
Chapter Five
UN Demands to Halt Arms Sales to Israel
Hamas Past Perception of Israel
Hamas viewed Israelis as invaders and
considered suicide bombings and rocket attacks as tools of retaliations. In
June 2008 Hamas entered into agreement of six-month truce with the Israel, but
after the truce rocket attacks were resumed. Israel launched a fierce attack in
December 2008 and after destroying the infrastructure in Hamas territory of
Gaza Strip, declared a unilateral ceasefire in January 2009. Year 2010 brought
a fresh confrontation between the Israel and the Palestine when Israeli Defense
Forces intercepted a flotilla of humanitarian aid vessels bound for Gaza Strip.
The seizure of one ship led to a violent confrontation, resulting in the death
of nine passengers. This incidence was condemned by Hamas as a massacre,
appealing to the international activists to end the blockade of Israel since
Year 2007 along the Gaza Strip.

Chapter Six
Arabs Silence, Gaza Graveyard
“A twofold existence
I am where thou
art
Hark, hear in
the distance
The beat of my
heart” Edward George Bulwer-Lytton
Arabs and Americans
The
six-day Arab Israeli war made King Faisal change his opinion as America being
the friend of Saudi Arabia, for they kept supporting Israel even after the war
with armaments, justifying their military assistance in terms of Egypt and
Syria receiving arms from Soviet Union.
Faisal was not impressed, saying that more US aid Israel received, the
more radical grew the feelings of Arabs around her, the recent example of such
a consequence the emergence of Palestinians.
After the death of Nasser in Year 1970 when Anwar Sadat took control of
Egypt, Faisal befriended him, proposing if he would withdraw from the Russians
if America forced Israel into some sort of withdrawal. To which Anwar Sadat agreed and as a goodwill
gesture expelled sixteen thousand Russian advisors from Egypt. America didn’t respond to this kind gesture
and kept supplying Israel with tanks and jet fighters. A year later Faisal sent a message to
Washington that unless America took genuine steps to secure justice for Palestinian
Arabs and to bring about the restoration to Muslims of Jerusalem’s holy places,
the friendship with America would be truncated.
An ultimatum followed:
America’s
complete support of Zionism against the Arabs makes it extremely difficult for
us to continue to supply US petroleum needs and even to maintain friendly
relations with America.
King
Faisal’s oil embargo made the life of every American slower, darker and
chillier. The lights in Time Square were
switched off and gas stations started rationing sales. Within two weeks of oil embargo European
community met to call on Israel to end the territorial occupation. Already it had been a month since Anwar Sadat
had stormed across the Suez Canal and he had lost as much ground as he had
gained. Syria had also sustained a
hopeless defeat. Henry Kissinger had
flown to Riyadh to negotiate with King Faisal, but had returned home with oil
embargo still intact. In February of
Year 1974 King Faisal convened a conference in Pakistan for Islamic brethren to
pledge the oath of unity and in March he lifted the oil embargo. Another summit was held the same year by UN
General Assembly, inviting the PLO to participate in its debates on Palestine. Islamic pressure from other countries barred
Israel from full membership of UNESCO and cut off all aid from UNESCO. In Year 1975 United Nations condemned Zionism
as a form of racial discrimination.
Chapter Seven
Netanyahu’s Bombardment on Beirut
“Hear us, Oh Liberty
Bring mercy, Oh Daughter of Athens
Rescue us, Oh Sister of Rome
Advise us, Oh Companion of Moses
Help us, Oh Beloved of Muhammad
Teach us, Oh Bride of Jesus
Strengthen our hearts so we may live
Or harden our enemies so we may perish
And
live in peace eternally” Khalil
Gibran
Khalil Gibran was born in the shadows of
the holy cedars of Lebanon but spent the mature years of his life within the
shadows of the sky-scrapers of New York. Gibran has been described as the
Mystic, the Philosopher, the Religious, the Heretic, the Serene, the Rebellious
and the Ageless.
License to kill is Netanyahu’s privilege to expand his
war into Lebanon, its holy cedars ravished by ongoing decades of conflicts
which Khalil Gibran watched from America, unable to help his people perishing
and suffering. This nascent Century Twenty-One war evokes the painful memories
of Lebanese people vulnerable to foreign attacks. Netanyahu’s genocide knows no
borders or boundaries since it has unlimited supply of armaments from US
unconditional support for Israel. Gaza of course is Bibi’s prime target. His
relentless bombings kills mostly kids and women. Attacks on homes, schools,
hospitals show horrific deaths of innocent Gazans who have nothing to do with
Hamas and Israel War. Kamal Adwan Hospital repeatedly raided by IDF gangs, as
atrocities continue with impotent world watching aghast. UN headquarters too
hit by Bibi bomber who is under warrants of arrest by International Criminal
Court. Israeli protesters stage daily rallies, demanding their government reach
a deal to free hostages. Yet Netanyahu stalls any potential truce, lies to his
people and to the world, using playbook of blame game, riddled with fabricated
allegation.
Chapter Eight
Gazans Scavenging For Food
“My God
Let all my
senses spread out
And touch this
world
At thy feet”
Tagore
Circle back to seventh century when Arabia
was prosperous with bustling towns where traders from different parts of the
world came to trade their goods. Prophet Muhammad was one of them when he
accompanied his uncle Abu Talib on caravan trading trips to Palestine. Later he
was employed by his future-wife-to-be, Khadija, a business woman and went on
trading trips to Aleppo, Baalbek, Antioch, Palmyra, Beirut and Damascus. Holy
cedars of Lebanon, admired by Khalil Gibran, might have imprints of those memories.
Chapter Nine
Israel Corrupt Fascist Messianic State
A poet, mystic and a philosopher from
Lebanon had harsh words for his own people too nineteenth century when he
witnessed their fear, hypocrisy, decadence.
“What do you seek, my Countrymen?
Do
you desire that I build for
You, gorgeous palaces, decorated
With words of empty meaning, or
Do
you command me to destroy what
The
liars and tyrants have built?
Shall I uproot with my fingers
What the hypocrites and the wicked
Have implanted? Speak your insane
Wish!” Khalil Gibran
Ethnic cleansing for sure as Bibi brute not satisfied
with killing Palestinians by bombing, further sends his militarized gangs at
GHF sites to slaughter famished Gazans begging for a bag of flour, or shooting
kids at water sites who are trying to fill their plastic containers to quench
the thirsts of their sick or elderly families. As to the expansion of war into
Lebanon, Netanyahu there too has breached ceasefire hundred times over as in
Gaza. Gaza has not only become a graveyard of Gazans but morgue of Bibi’s lies
minting falsehood that he is attacking in retaliation or targeting Hamas. But
tons of rubble under which are interned charred bodies of thousands of kids,
women, elderly tell their own stories of horrendous genocide. Displaced
families in flimsy tents surrounded by garbage is not Gaza’s tragedy alone, but
it is world tragedy. Trump’s “All Hell to Pay” speaks volumes of betrayal.
Chapter Ten
Perfidious Assault of Israeli Forces on
Hospital
“To that city I have so well supplied.
Every man there is a crook. There they make yeses and noes, and do it for
money.” Dante’s Inferno Canto XXI: 40
Moral abyss created by Netanyahu in Israel doesn’t
represent majority of compassionate Israelis who are suffering under the
tyranny of one man alone who for his own selfish political survival is not
willing for truce, endangering lives of all hostages. Netanyahu has succeeded
in making Israel a terrorist state, blind and deaf to the appeals of grieving
families of hostages who want their loved ones home, safe and healthy. Killing
Palestinian doctors and healthcare workers in hospitals is not going to secure
the release of hostages but a sane agreement to truce with sincere intention of
ending the prolonged war, bloodshed and occupation. Already charged with fraud,
bribery and breach of trust, Netanyahu is trying to evade his trial in court
and the prospect of dreaded elections. His recent attack on Syria is another
example of his terrorism, extremism, aggression to flaunt his unchecked powers
disrupting the peace in Middle East.
Chapter Eleven
Netanyahu’s Aggression on Syrian
Territories
“The Friar said: I heard once in Bologna.
Of the Devil’s many vices, among which. That he was a liar and father of lies.”
Dante’s Inferno Canto XXIII: 142
Meeting of likeminded hypocrites and autocrats like
Trump and Netanyahu is no surprise to the world, both praising each other, both
war hawks. Netanyahu doesn’t care for hostages, only for his own
self-preservation. To Trump, lives of anyone at home, abroad or specifically in
Middle East are insignificant as he stays intoxicated by his
self-aggrandizement. Syria is just another pawn on the Chess Board for both
Trump and Netanyahu who stay intent on expanding warfare wherever their caprice
leads them. Netanyahu is all about new settlements in Golan Heights or West
Bank or wherever he can expand his aggression. Meanwhile, Bibi’s bombings
continue, his recent massacre in Gaza, killing entire families, their heads
severed, children’s bodies dismembered. This recent strike is the fourth of
Israeli attacks on Gaza schools. “To whom do I complain, Oh, Lord, of my pain
and sorrow,” One Gazan woman laments in grief.
Chapter Twelve
Renewal of Bombings at Kamal Adwan
Hospital
“Is it an honor for a man to kill his
brother man? If you deem it an honor, let it be an act of worship, and erect a
temple to Cain who slew his brother Abel.” Khalil Gibran
Terrorist IDF gangs accusing Hamas of terrorist
activities as they themselves storm hospitals based on fabricated allegations.
Katz blatantly barking that Israel will occupy Gaza Strip, while kids and
patients in the hospital are being terrorized by relentless bombing, igniting
fire, destroying water tanks. Talks on truce essentially fruitless as Netanyahu
is emboldened by US solid support, supplying bombs and armaments. Death has
become a daily ritual in Gaza, holy crusade of Netanyahu against Palestinians.
Families of hostages keep demanding that Netanyahu accept the peace deal, so
all hostages are released. Gaza is transformed into an open graveyard of
wounded, bloodied bodies of Gazans, mounds of rubble their death shrouds.
Netanyahu stands accused of genocide, ethnic cleansing by Amnesty Report.
Deliberately destroying and damaging water and sanitation infrastructure,
depriving Gazans of access to safe water for drinking and sanitation. “As a Jew
I cannot endure Gaza catastrophe,” wrote Lily Greenberg
Chapter Thirteen
Ceasefire Talks And Pope Francis
“You are my brother, but why are you
quarreling with me? Why do you invade my country and try to subjugate me for
the sake of pleasing those who are seeking glory and authenticity?” Khalil
Gibran
Wheel of ceasefire talks still churning with
three-phase plan, but to manifest the agreement still a distant dream. Pope
Francis condemned Israeli strikes, saying, “Children bombed. This is cruelty.
This is no war. I want to say this because it touches the heart. What is
happening in Gaza has characteristics of a genocide.” IDF attacks on homes,
schools killing more Gazans and children. Israeli forces demolishing
residential buildings while continuing their barrage of shelling on refugee
camps. Jenin a target of IDF again, killing a member of Palestinian security.
Displaced Gazan families threatened afresh with cold, hunger, deprivation at
the approach of Winter. “It is permissible and even recommended to starve an
enemy to death,” Jewish Giora Eland
Chapter Fourteen
Gazans Babies Frozen to Death in Cold
“The soul of man does violence to itself
when it becomes an abscess and as it were, a tumor in the universe. The soul
does violence to itself when it turns away from any man, or moves against him
with the intention of harming him, as do the souls of the angry.” Marcus
Aurelius
Criminal war co-conspiring with seasonal winter cold,
no provisions for the displaced Gazans in their flimsy tents, dying of cold,
hunger and disease. This is war on children, Human rights advocates warned,
since mostly malnourished children are exposed to death, without blankets,
without basic necessities of hygiene and sanitation. With hospitals being
bombed and collapse of medical facilities, babies suffer the most, newborns
dying of hypothermia. More Palestinian journalists dying with death toll rising
to one hundred and thirty-three, adding to the desperate struggle for survival
for Gazans, truncating their medium of voice, identity, resilience. Besieged
hospitals, injured patients being beaten by IDF gangs a new normal in this war
of Netanyahu’s criminality. Even makeshift tents of displaced Gazans flooded
with heavy rainfall don’t elicit compassion in the hearts of Jewish extremists,
increasing their heavy shelling, torching homes, flattening buildings into
piles of rubble.
Chapter
Fifteen
Ceasefire
Deal Rollercoaster
“Can lovers
meet and exchange kisses on battlefield still acrid with bomb fumes? Will the
poet compose his songs under stars veiled in gun smoke? Will the musician strum
his lute in a night whose silence was ravished by terror?” Khalil Gibran
After
fifteen months of bloodshed, with more than 46, 537 Palestinians dead, half of
those women and children, thousands injured, crippled, displaced, ceasefire
deal had begun to take shape. The number of dead could be doubled when bodies
could be recovered from under the rubble, Gaza turned into a graveyard.
Setting the date of President-elect Trump
inauguration as landmark for potential ceasefire deal, international mediators
intensified efforts for a viable truce. President Biden stressed optimism that
their truce will result in total withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza,
release of hostages, prisoner exchange, opening of borders, flow of
humanitarian aid and rebuilding of Gaza. Blinken said: some countries are
willing to contribute troops, but if it is agreed that Gaza and the West Bank
are unified under a reformed PA as a part of pathway to an independent
Palestinian State. Israeli strikes continue despite acceptance of ceasefire
deal between both parties.
Part Two

publication.
