Israel is liquidating what remains of Gaza.

And as they do so, they are exterminating the last prominent journalists

who are still alive in Gaza in an attempt to silence the last remaining witnesses

to Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

We'll talk about that abomination, but let's start with the liquidation of Gaza.

Gaza, of course, has already

been reduced to apocalyptic ruin. Sartite data a month ago found 89% of the buildings in Rafa,

84% of the buildings in northern Gaza, and 78% of buildings in Gaza City have been completely

or partially destroyed. Overall, they found that 70% of structures in Gaza had been

severely damaged, leaving them uninhabitable, with a quarter overall being completely destroyed.

They also noted that the real level of destruction could be even higher because the satellite

imagery couldn't detect damage to the walls of a building unless the roof had already collapsed.

Now, what Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu has announced is the Israeli army will fully

occupy Gaza. Now, just to be clear here, Gaza has always been under Israeli occupation since

1967. In Teague, the Israeli army disengaged from Gaza so that Israel could focus on what they

sought as the jewel in the crown, the West Bank, to de facto annex it and expand illegal

settlements there instead.

But it was still, as per the United Nations, under legal occupation because Israel controlled

access by land, by air, by sea, deciding everything that got

in and out, controlled the civil registry, even controlled the electromagnetic sphere, thus controlling

Gaza's means of communication. Now, a full-scale land invasion of Gaza began at the end of October

2023, obviously, it had already been battered with apocalyptic bombing attacks.
