Israel’s Goal in Gaza
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said “Conditions for Palestinians in Gaza are appalling and apocalyptic. What we are seeing may well amount to the gravest international crimes.” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, said, “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.” Prominent Israeli scholars such as Omer Bartov, Raz Segal, Ilan Pappe, Lee Mordechai and Amos Goldberg, have all said Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Jewish Voice for Peace, and other organizations have also reached the same conclusion. Apart from the U.S., Canada, and a few European countries Israel is largely isolated internationally. Arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant have been issued by the International Criminal Court. Israel’s goal in Gaza has been made explicitly clear by Netanyahu on down: eliminate the Palestinians.
