Lord of the Flies – by Mr. Fish<\/p><\/div>\n

Israel has begun the final stage of its genocide. The Palestinians will be forced to choose between death or deportation. There are no other options.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

22 Mar 2025 –\u00a0<\/em>This is the last chapter of the genocide. It is the final, blood-soaked push to drive<\/a> the Palestinians from Gaza. No food. No medicine. No shelter. No clean water. No electricity. Israel is swiftly turning Gaza into a Dantesque cauldron of human misery where Palestinians are being killed<\/a> in their hundreds and soon, again, in their thousands and tens of thousands, or they will be forced out never to return.<\/p>\n

The final chapter marks the end of Israeli lies. The lie<\/a> of the two-state solution. The lie<\/a> that Israel respects the laws of war that protect civilians. The lie that Israel bombs hospitals<\/a> and schools<\/a> only because they are used as staging areas by Hamas. The lie<\/a> that Hamas uses civilians as human shields, while Israel routinely forces captive Palestinians to enter<\/a> potentially bobby trapped tunnels and buildings ahead of Israeli troops. The lie<\/a> that Hamas or Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ) are responsible \u2014 the charge often being errant Palestinian rockets \u2014 for the destruction of hospitals<\/a>, United Nations\u2019 buildings<\/a> or mass Palestinian casualties<\/a>. The lie<\/a> that humanitarian aid to Gaza is blocked because Hamas is hijacking the trucks or smuggling in weapons and war material. The lie that Israeli babies are beheaded<\/a> or Palestinians carried out mass rape<\/a> of Israeli women. The lie<\/a> that 75 percent of the tens of thousands killed in Gaza were Hamas \u201cterrorists.\u201d The lie<\/a> that Hamas, because it was allegedly rearming and recruiting new fighters, is responsible for the breakdown of the ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s naked genocidal visage is exposed. It has ordered<\/a> the evacuation of northern Gaza where desperate Palestinians are camped out amid the rubble of their homes. What comes now is mass<\/a> starvation<\/a> \u2014 the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said<\/a> on March 21 it has six days of flour supplies left \u2014 deaths from diseases caused by<\/a> contaminated water and food, scores of killed and wounded each day under the relentless assault of bombs, missiles, shells and bullets. Nothing will function, bakeries, water treatment and sewage plants, hospitals \u2014 Israel blew up<\/a> the damaged Turkish-Palestinian hospital on March 21 \u2014 schools, aid distribution centers or clinics. Less than half of the 53 emergency vehicles operated by the Palestine Red Crescent Society are functional<\/a> due to fuel shortages. Soon there will be none.<\/p>\n
