Since March 18, when the Israeli gang reignited the Gaza war, more than twenty days have passed. Due to the appeasement policy of international imperialism and even outright support, due to the shameless betrayal by the Fatah comprador group, and due to the crazy sabotage of the internal surrenderist line within Hamas, during these twenty days, the Israeli bandits have continued to blockade, bomb, and invade the Gaza Strip recklessly, executing the mad ambition of the bandit leader Netanyahu to “gradually occupy Gaza.”
The surrenderist capitulation of Hamas not only failed to bring any mercy from the enemy, but instead, the inhumane Israeli bandits, unable to find Hamas armed forces, continued to extend their deadly hands to unarmed civilians, to medical teams saving lives, and to journalists exposing the truth. According to Al Jazeera, on March 23, a medical team from the Palestinian Red Crescent was dispatched to the Hasasin community in Rafah and soon lost contact with the outside world. Israeli bandits surrounded and blockaded the area. A week later, on the 29th, rescue workers finally arrived and found the wreckage of ambulances and the bodies of injured medical personnel. The Israeli gang openly lied, claiming they encountered a suspicious vehicle approaching them, which did not display emergency lights or other obvious markings, and that they “fired at terrorists riding in an ambulance.” However, videos found on the phones of the victims refute this shameless lie with bloody facts: In the videos, the ambulances all had bright warning lights on, medical staff were dressed in reflective rescue uniforms, and while the ambulances were still moving along the designated route, they suddenly came under heavy gunfire from Israeli bandits, with up to 20 bullets found in the body of a murdered team member! The guilty Israeli gang, after the attack, also used a bulldozer to crush the vehicle wreckage, burying the bodies of the victims and the vehicle debris in mass graves to cover up this bloodshed! Besides wielding slaughter knives against medical personnel, Israel also seeks to kill all journalists in Gaza who dare to expose the murderers. Since the outbreak of the Palestine-Israel war on October 7, 2023, more than 200 Gaza journalists have been slaughtered, a figure that exceeds the total number of journalists killed in World War II, the Vietnam War, the Yugoslav Wars, and the Afghanistan War combined. The Israeli bandits have also repeatedly played shameless tricks, deceiving Gaza residents in Rafah and other areas into evacuating to so-called “humanitarian zones” like Muwasi, while continuing to bomb refugee concentration areas including tents within “humanitarian zones.” On March 24, Israel bombed Nasser Hospital in Gaza, destroying the male surgical ward and killing a 16-year-old boy receiving treatment. On April 4, Israel bombed Dar Al-Kam School, which served as a refuge for Gaza residents, killing most of the 33 victims, including children! In the more than 20 days of Israel’s heavy fire, over 1,300 Palestinians have been slaughtered, including nearly 500 children!
Apart from direct slaughter, Israel also seeks to use crazy blockades to trap the people of Gaza. Under Hamas’s non-resistance policy, the Israeli army barbarically invaded, not only expanding the Nahal Oz corridor that separates Gaza City and other northern areas from the south, but also opening a new isolation zone around Rafah in the south, aiming to divide and encircle the entire Gaza Strip, with 50% of Gaza’s territory falling into enemy hands. A retired Israeli soldier admitted that the mad Israeli bandits are executing a fascist policy similar to the Japanese “Three Alls” (kill all, loot all, burn all), destroying all houses, greenhouses, factories along the way, and even using excavators to plow up farmland and level all crops. The severe blockade has caused extreme food shortages in Gaza, forcing people to rely on flour contaminated with insects to feed themselves. 70% of Gaza’s water supply has been cut off by Israel, and even the imperialist puppet United Nations has had to point out that Israel’s blockade violates the “Geneva Conventions.” However, appeasement-like “condemnations” only embolden the aggressors further, with fascist bandit and Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich openly shouting: “Not a single grain of wheat will enter the region (Gaza).”
In the face of Gaza’s severe situation, the US Trump administration continues to assist the aggressors, continuing to suppress domestic movements supporting the Palestinian people, and once again meeting with bandit leader Netanyahu, even proudly selling his plan for “Gaza takeover.” European imperialist countries like France and Germany also harbor malicious intentions to compete with US imperialism for Palestine, hypocritically condemning Israel’s call for a ceasefire and supporting “Palestinian self-government” (actually imperialist puppets) controlled by Fatah in Gaza. While Hamas’s surrenderist line is madly implementing a policy of non-resistance, Fatah is also eager to seize power, creating reactionary public opinion to oust Hamas, revealing the traitor’s face.
“The people, only the people, are the driving force behind world history” (Chairman Mao) In such a situation, the heroic Palestinian working class, as shown in the two previous Palestinian uprisings, once again bravely stepped forward to save the Palestinian nation. On the day of Netanyahu’s visit to the US (April 7), in several cities on the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the local people launched massive general strikes in solidarity with their Gaza compatriots. In Hebron, Ramallah, and other cities, all markets and shops were closed, leaving only demonstrators condemning Israeli crimes and calling for unity. The crazy arrests and persecutions by Israel and the fake Fatah regime could not stop this strike. The blood of the people will inevitably turn into a torrent of anger, flooding the throne of kings! Believing that soon, there will be a new Palestinian uprising to sweep away the traitorous tide of surrenderism and bury the reactionary forces of the US and Israel!
