His not the only one. Many more held in prisons under inhumane conditions and 50+ prisoners have already died.
Palestinians are randomly arrested without charge and held for years under horrible conditions.
Israel is a terrorist state hell bent on driving Palistinians away from their homelands.
Israel is simply a US state there for controlling energy resources in the area.
Even Jews are now leaving the area. Number of military personnel leaving is 9 x as many. Simply because they disagree with what is being done in their name by the state of Israel. They are not just going after Hamaz. They are killing all Palistinians including those on the West Bank. This level of collective punishment is nothing but ethnic cleansing. Nethanyau is a sick man indeed. His even turning on his own people who disagree with him.
Actions of Ithe state of Israel will become a scar just like the holocaust to be remembered in history.
It is clearly ethnic cleansing however, the MSM may wish to coat it.

20 July 2024: Polio and the Destruction of Gaza’s Health Infrastructure
By Mouin Rabbani
@MouinRabbani
This past week, poliovirus was detected in sewage samples in the Gaza Strip. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) polio (poliomyelitis) is a “highly infectious disease” that “invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours”.
Like so much else in the Gaza Strip these days, polio according to the WHO “mainly affects children under 5 years of age” but can infect “anyone of any age who is unvaccinated”. Furthermore, “One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis (usually in the legs). Among those paralyzed, 5-10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilized”.
Israel and its apologists can be expected to blame Hamas for this state of affairs, with canards about the Gaza health authorities prioritizing the construction of tunnels over inoculating those under their rule, dirty Arabs, and the like. The fact of the matter is that not only is polio not endemic in the Gaza Strip, it was eradicated from the territory several decades ago. The achievement was publicly touted by none other than Ted Tulchinksy, who from 1978-1994 served as the Coordinator for Health in the West Bank and Gaza Strip within Israel’s Ministry of Health. His testimony is significant because during his tenure Tulchinsky supervised the health departments of the military governments Israel established in each of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 1967.
Writing on the website of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2011, Tulchinsky writes that during the 1970s polio epidemics periodically erupted in Israel and the Palestinian territories it was in the process of annexing, and “despite high levels of [vaccination] coverage” in the Gaza Strip in particular, on account of its degraded sanitary infrastructure.
Tulchinsky recounts that in 1978 Israel consulted with Natan Goldblum and Joseph Melnick, two noted epidemiologists from Baylor University, to develop more effective anti-polio strategies. Their recommendation, to increase the four doses traditionally given to infants during their first year with an additional three of a different variety, was pioneered in the Gaza Strip. It proved so effective that the disease was eradicated from the territory within a few short years. Tulchinsky does not say so, but it seems likely that as with so much else the Gaza Strip here too functioned as a human laboratory for new Israeli methods. Indeed, the Goldblum-Melnick vaccination sequence was according to Tulchinsky “dubbed the Gaza system” and subsequently applied within Israel to quell a polio outbreak of its own in 1988. “As a result of this episode”, Tulchinsky wrote, “Israel adopted the Gaza system, and total eradication of polio was rapidly achieved”.
It is unclear how polio has suddenly re-appeared in the Gaza Strip. What is beyond doubt is how it’s spreading. Israel has systematically destroyed the Gaza Strip’s health, sanitary, water treatment, and power infrastructure, particularly since October 2023, leading to the collapse of systems that were already precarious. Contaminated water, untreated sewage, and uncollected garbage, particularly when paired with the severe overcrowding resulting from Israel’s genocidal campaign and repeated forced displacement of the civilian population, represent ideal conditions for its spread.
In the words of United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, speaking last December:
The people of Gaza are being told to move like human pinballs – ricocheting between ever-smaller slivers of the south, without any of the basics of survival … Conditions in shelters are overcrowded and unsanitary. People nurse open wounds. Hundreds of people stand in line for hours to use one shower or toilet … wearing clothes they have not changed for two months.
Such conditions have also created a breeding ground for other infectious diseases. As of 30 June, the WHO reported nearly a million cases of acute respiratory infection (affecting almost half the population), over half a million cases of diarrhea (including nearly 200,000 cases of “acute watery diarrhea”), and over 100,000 cases of acute jaundice (suggesting hepatitis is widespread), and so on. The WHO notes these figures “should be interpreted with caution, due to delayed and incomplete data reporting”. As the summer intensifies, there have also been multiple warnings of a cholera outbreak.
With few and limited exceptions, Israel is preventing the entry of fuel, vaccines, medical supplies, and potable water into the Gaza Strip. As Israel’s Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, publicly announced on 8 October, “We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything will be closed”.
There was more to this policy of collective sadism than revenge. Giora Eiland is a retired major-general who previously served as head of Israel’s National Security Council and is an advisor to its current government. He also publishes a regular column in the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. Writing on 29 October, he urged Israel to inflict “not only destruction in Gaza City, but a humanitarian disaster and absolute governmental chaos … [O]nly that outcome – the complete destruction of all systems in Gaza and desperate distress”, would in his view bring about victory. On 19 November he exhorted the government to continue its siege on the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that “severe epidemics in the southern Gaza Strip will bring victory closer and will reduce the number of IDF casualties.” The enthusiastic identification of an entire society as a military target, and the determination to inflict maximum levels of suffering to compensate for Israel’s military failures, has been a common refrain among Israel’s senior political and military leaders.
Central to this campaign has been the eradication of Gaza’s health infrastructure. The WHO speaks of the “continued dismantling of the health system”. In late May Doctors Without Borders (MSF) put it thus: “In the last seven months the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip has been systematically dismantled. According to OCHA [The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs] 24 hospitals are now out of service, while 493 health workers have been killed”. By 12 July the WHO reported 746 health workers killed, 967 injured, and 128 still incarcerated. Israel flunkies will no doubt denounce each and every one of them as Hamas, and claim the numerous ambulances bombed to smithereens were camouflaged rocket launchers.
Attention has primarily focused on the challenges Gaza’s disintegrating Palestinian medical facilities and their overworked and under-resourced staff confront in dealing with the overwhelming number of casualties resulting from Israel’s genocidal campaign. The accounts of young children enduring amputations without anaesthetics and severe burns without pain management, of patients dying because of the unavailability of basic medical supplies like disinfectants, have become all too common. But the crisis also goes much deeper. Regular health care, for example for cancer patients or those who suffer a stroke, diabetics requiring insulin, a child or grandparent with a broken bone, and the like, has also all but disappeared. Mark Perlmutter and Feroze Sidhwa, two US surgeons who recently volunteered at a hospital in the Gaza Strip, provide a particularly harrowing account of their experience. It is, unfortunately, just one of very many such testimonials.
At the beginning of July Rasha Khatib, Martin McKee, and Salim Yusuf published a letter in the prestigious British medical journal The Lancet in which they note that “Armed conflicts have indirect health implications beyond the direct harm from violence”, with “destroyed health-care infrastructure” prominently noted as a factor. The authors observe that “In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths”. Based on current conditions in the Gaza Strip the authors, “applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death”, find it “not implausible to estimate that up to 1860,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza”, and note that this amounts to “7-9% of the population in the Gaza Strip”. That’s a lot of Pallywood for the Defamation League and other Israel flunkies to explain away.
Accounts of the destruction of the Palestinian health infrastructure typically focus on Israel’s destruction of Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical complex in the Gaza Strip that was razed and burned to the ground by the most moral army since the Ku Klux Klan after none of its pretexts for attacking the complex were substantiated.
Before Al-Shifa there was the 17 October mass casualty bombing of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, also known as Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital. Established in 1882, it is the only Christian hospital in the Gaza Strip and is managed by the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem. Along with other hospitals, it also became a refuge of choice for civilians desperate for safe haven.
Three days earlier, on 14 October, Human Rights Watch reported that “an artillery projectile struck the hospital’s diagnostic cancer treatment center”. Based on details of the shell, it concluded that “Israel is the only party to the [Gaza] conflict known to possess and use the artillery that fires this type of munition”.
Over the course of the next three days the hospital’s director and staff received numerous direct Israeli warnings and threats, demanding they evacuate the premises. (Needless to say, they refused and continued to treat their patients). In the immediate aftermath of the 17 October bombing, Israel put out several and often contradictory accounts, before eventually settling on two points: the casualty figures were vastly exaggerated and, more importantly, were caused not by Israeli fire but an errant Palestinian projectile.
As so often Israel’s purpose in rejecting culpability and blaming its victims is not to convince its audience so much as to confuse it. If journalists, Human Rights Watch, and others conclude they cannot clearly establish responsibility and must await a full and proper investigation when conditions permit, it is mission accomplished.
In this particular case the ruse worked beyond expectations. Although the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem pointed the finger squarely at Israel, the Archbishop of Canterbury and senior cleric of the Anglican Church, Justin Welby, shamelessly denounced accusations that Israel was responsible as a “blood libel”. “Don’t assume it’s Israel”, he stated. “You have no proof”.
For good measure Welby professed total ignorance on the numbers killed and injured, stating, “I’ve heard so many different figures”. Ever the knave, US President and soon-to-be-former-nominee Joe Biden rushed to blame the Palestinians. Speaking in Israel, the same individual who claimed to have viewed non-existent images of beheaded infants on 7 October stated, “Based on what I’ve seen, it appears it was done by the other team, and not you”. The resulting outrage contributed to the abrupt cancellation of his scheduled conclave with an assortment of Arab client regimes in Amman several days later. Like these past several weeks, even his closest allies couldn’t stomach being associated with him.
The most comprehensive investigation I have come across to date has been conducted by Maher Arar, who has produced two extraordinarily detailed technical reports to demonstrate not only that it was an Israeli projectile that hit Al-Ahli Hospital, but that any other theory is inconsistent with the available evidence. While I found his reasoning entirely convincing, I’m not sufficiently technically proficient – to put it mildly – to rebut any challenges to his technical conclusions. I do however know enough to confidently dismiss any detractors who do not call for an immediate, comprehensive, independent international investigation and refuse to condemn Israel for refusing one.
Maher Arrar makes the important point that Israel attacked Al-Ahli Hospital not despite its prominent international connections, but because of them. It was a test case. If it succeeded, and it could get the likes of Welby, the BBC, and Western governments to play along, that would send an unmistakable signal that every single Palestinian hospital was fair game and could be attacked with impunity. And that’s precisely what has happened. A fundamental principle of the laws of war that has survived for centuries if not millenia lies buried in the rubble of Gaza’s hospitals. It no longer exists, and the horrific consequences will – already do – reverberate far beyond the Gaza Strip.
In the words of noted Palestinian-British surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sitta, who was at Al-Ahli Hospital the night of the attack:
This incident served as a litmus test for what was to come: Israel’s full war on Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure. After Al-Ahli was hit, and no one was held to account, the domino pieces began to fall rapidly. Hospitals were targeted one after the other. It became obvious that the attacks were systemic.
Several months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Chandra Hassan in Chicago. A dedicated medical professional and humanitarian, he had volunteered at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis for some time during the current genocide, and has remained in regular contact with Palestinian colleagues.
During our conversation I asked him if he had what he thought the underlying purpose of Israel’s systematic destruction of the Palestinian health infrastructure. He responded – and here I paraphrase – that hospitals have a special sanctity and form the ultimate refuge and source of hope for people in crisis. They expect to have, and need the confidence they can have, access to a hospital and its staff should they or their loved ones require it, and refuge within its premises should this prove necessary. Remove that confidence, that hope, and replace it with the fear generated by the knowledge it is no longer there, that you will be left to your own devices when you most need hope and help, and you are well on your way to ensuring the disintegration of a society. Sounds about right.
ENDS

The Gaza Genocide as Explicit Policy: Michael Hudson Names All Names
SPOTLIGHT, 29 Apr 2024Dilip Simeon | After the Truth Shower – TRANSCEND Media Service
GAZA Casualties – Live Statistics
In what can be considered the most crucial podcast of 2024 so far, Professor Michael Hudson – the author of seminal works such as Super-Imperialism and the recent The Collapse of Antiquity , among others – clinically lays down the essential background to understand the unthinkable: a 21st century genocide broadcast live 24/7 to the whole planet.
In an email exchange, Prof. Hudson detailed he’s now essentially “spilling the beans” about how, “50 years ago when I worked at the Hudson Institute with Herman Kahn [the model for Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove], Israeli Mossad members were being trained, including Uzi Arad. I made two international trips with him, and he outlined to me pretty much what has happened today. He became head of Mossad and is now Netanhayu’s advisor.”
Prof. Hudson shows how “the basic Gaza plan is how Kahn designed the Vietnam War’s division into sectors, with canals cutting off each village, as the Israelis are doing to Palestinians. Also already at time, Kahn pinpointed Balochistan as the area to foment disruption in Iran and the rest of the region.”
It’s not by accident that Balochistan has been CIA jewel territory for decades, and recently with the added incentive of the disruption by any means necessary of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) – a key connectivity node of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
Prof. Hudson then connects the major dots: “As I understand it, what the U.S. is doing with Israel is a dress rehearsal for it to move on to Iran and the South China Sea. As you know, there is no Plan B in American strategy for a very good reason: If anyone criticize Plan A, they’re considered not to be a team player (or even Putin’s Puppet), so critics have to leave when they see that they won’t be promoted. That’s why U.S. strategists won’t stop and re-think what they’re doing.”
Isolate Them in Strategic Hamlets, then Kill Them
In our email exchange, Prof. Hudson remarked “this is basically what I said” in reference to the podcast with Ania K, drawing on his notes (here is the full, revised transcript). Fasten your seat belts: unvarnished truth is more lethal than a hypersonic missile hit.On the Zionist Military Strategy in Gaza:
“My background in the 1970s at Hudson Institute with Uzi Arad and other Mossad trainees. My field was BoP, but I sat in on many meetings discussing military strategy, and I flew to Asia twice with Uzi and got to know him. The U.S./Israeli strategy in Gaza is based in many ways on Herman Kahn’s plan that was carried out in Vietnam in the 1960s.Herman’s focus was systems analysis. Start by defining the overall aim and then, how do we achieve it?
First, isolate them in Strategic Hamlets. Gaza has been carved up into districts, requiring electronic passes for entry from one sector to another, or into Jewish Israel to work. First thing: kill them. Ideally by bombing, because that minimizes domestic casualties for your army.
The genocide that we are seeing today is the explicit policy of Israel’s founders: the idea of “a land without a people” means a land without non-Jewish people. They were to be driven out – starting even before the official founding of Israel, in the first Nakba, the Arab holocaust. Two Israeli Prime Ministers were members of the Stern Gang of terrorists. They escaped from their British jail and joined to found Israel.
What we are seeing today is the Final Solution to this plan. It also dovetails into U.S. desires to control the Middle East and its oil reserves. For U.S. diplomacy, the Middle East IS (in caps) oil. And ISIS is part of America’s foreign legion since it was first organized in Afghanistan to fight the Russians.
That is why Israeli policy has been coordinated with the U.S.. Israel is the main U.S. client oligarchy in the Middle East. Mossad does most handling of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, and wherever else the U.S. may send ISIS terrorists. Terrorism and even the present genocide is central to U.S. geopolitics.
But as the U.S. learned in the Vietnam War, populations protest and vote against the President who supervises this war. Lyndon Johnson couldn’t make a public appearance without crowds chanting. He had to sneak out the side entrance of hotels where he was speaking.
To prevent an embarrassment such as Seymour Hersh describing the My Lai massacre, you block journalists from the battlefield. If they are there, you kill them. The Biden-Netanyahu team has targeted journalists in particular. So the ideal is to kill the population passively, to minimize visible bombing. And the line of least resistance is to starve the population. That has been Israeli policy since 2008.”
And Don’t Forget to Starve Them
Prof. Hudson makes a direct reference to a Sara Roy piece in The New York Review of Books, citing a cable from the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv to the Secretary of State on November 3rd, 2008. The cable reads, “As part of their overall embargo plan against Gaza, Israeli officials have confirmed to [embassy officials] on multiple occasions that they intend to keep the Gazan economy on the brink of collapse without quite pushing it over the edge.”That has led, according to Prof. Hudson, to Israel “destroying fishing boats and greenhouses of Gaza to deprive it from feeding itself. Next, it has joined with the United States to block United Nations food aid and that of other countries. The U.S. quickly withdrew from the UN relief agency as soon as hostilities began, doing so immediately after the ICJ finding of plausible genocide. It was the major funder of this agency. The hope was that this would set back its activities.
Israel simply stopped letting food aid in. It set up long, long lines of inspections, that is, an excuse to slow the trucks to just 20% of their pre-Oct. 7 rate – from a normal rate of 500 a day to just 112. In addition to blocking trucks, Israel has targeted aid workers – about one a day.
The United States sought to avoid being condemned by pretending to build a wharf to unload food by sea. The intention was that by the time the wharf was built, Gaza’s population would be starved out.”
Biden and Netanyahu as War Criminals
Prof. Hudson succinctly draws the key connection in the whole tragedy: “The U.S. is trying to blame one person, Netanyahu. But that has been Israeli policy since 1947. And it is U.S. policy. Everything that is occurring since October 2, when the Al-Aqsa mosque was raided by Israeli settlers, leading to Hamas’s [Al-Aqsa Flood] retaliation on October 7, was closely coordinated with the Biden administration. All the bombs that have been dropped, month after month, as well as blocking United Nations aid.The U.S. aim is to prevent Gaza from having the offshore gas rights that would help finance their own prosperity and that of other Islamic groups that the United States views as enemies. And to show the neighboring countries what will be done to them, just as the U.S. has done to Libya just before Gaza. The bottom line is that Biden and his advisors are just as much war criminals as is Netanyahu.”
Prof. Hudson stresses how “the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Blinken and other U.S. officials have said the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling of genocide and calling for it to stop is Non-Binding. Then, Blinken has just said that no genocide is taking place.
The U.S. aim of all this is to end the rule of international law as represented by the UN. It is to be replaced by the U.S. ‘rules-based order,’ with no rules published. The intention is to make the U.S. immune to any opposition to its policies based on legal principles of international law or local laws. A totally free hand – chaos. U.S. diplomats have looked forward and seen that the rest of the world is seeing to withdraw from the U.S. and European NATO orbit.
To cope with this irreversible movement, the U.S. is trying to de-tooth it by wiping away all remaining traces of the international rules that underlay the UN’s founding, and indeed the Westphalian principle back in 1648 of non-interference in the affairs of other countries.
The actual effect, as usual, is just the opposite of what the U.S. intended. The rest of the world is being forced to create its own New UN, along with a new IMF, new World Bank, new International Court at the Hague and other organizations controlled by the U.S.. So the world’s protest against the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the West Bank – don’t forget the West Bank – is the emotional and moral catalyst to creating a new multipolar geopolitical order for the Global Majority.”
Disappear or Die
The key question remains: what will happen to Gaza and the Palestinians. Prof. Hudson’s judgement is ominously realistic: “As Alastair Crooke has explained, there now cannot be any two-state solution in Israel. It has to be either all Israeli or all Palestinian. And the way it looks now is all-Israeli – the dream from the outset in 1947 of a land without non-Jewish people.Gaza will still be there geographically, along with its gas rights in the Mediterranean. But it will be emptied out, and occupied by the Israelis.” On who would “help” to rebuild Gaza, there are a few solid takers already: “Turkish building companies, Saudi Arabia financing developments, UAE, American investors – maybe Blackstone. It will be foreign investment. If you look at the fact that the foreign investors of all these countries are looking for what they can get out of the genocide against Palestinians, you realize why there’s no opposition to the genocide.”
Prof. Hudson’s final verdict on “the great benefit to the U.S.” is that “no claims can be brought against the U.S. – and against any of the warfare and regime change that it is planning for Iran, China, Russia and for what has been done in Africa and Latin America.
Israel, Gaza and West Bank should be seen as an opening of the New Cold War. A plan for basically how to financialize genocide and destruction. Palestinians will either emigrate or be killed. That has been the announced policy for over a decade.”
