While other domestic and international news stories vie for people’s attention, we must not lose sight of the fact that one of the most horrific massacres of the modern era is being carried out in the Gaza Strip against a terrified and starving civilian population by one of the most potent military apparatuses in the world. Israel has been applying in Gaza what it has been applying to the Palestinian people since the Nakba since October 7, although more heavily. The persecution, killing, torture, and pillage that the Arab population in Palestine has endured since 1948, and even prior to that What the Israeli state has unleashed in the abandoned Strip over the past 80 days or so is a condensed version of what has been happening since Zionist conquest of Arab country began in the early 20th century.

Of the total number of deaths, six1, the majority are Palestinian. Furthermore, Tel Aviv informed international news agencies that it was unable to ensure the security of its journalists in Gaza.
