IDF search outbuildings at Al-Shifa
Chris Hedges – The Unz Review Nov 20, 2023
Israel is not attacking hospitals in Gaza because they are “Hamas command centers.” Israel is systematically and deliberately destroying Gaza’s medical infrastructure as part of a scorched earth campaign to make Gaza uninhabitable and escalate a humanitarian crisis. It intends to force 2.3 million Palestinians over the border into Egypt where they will never return.
Israel has destroyed and nearly emptied the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia is next. Israel is deploying tanks and armored personnel carriers around the hospital and has fired rounds into the building, killing twelve people.
The playbook is familiar. Flyers are dropped by Israel over a hospital telling people to leave because the hospital is a base for “Hamas terrorist activities.” Tanks and artillery shells rip away parts of the hospital walls. Ambulances are blown up by Israeli missiles. Power and water is cut. Medical supplies are blocked. There are no painkillers, antibiotics and oxygen. The most vulnerable, premature babies in incubators and the gravely ill, die. Israeli soldiers raid the hospital and force everyone out at gunpoint.
This is what happened at Al Shifa hospital. This is what happened at Al Rantisi Children’s Hospital. This is what happened at Gaza’s main psychiatric hospital. This is what happened at Nasser Hospital. This is what happened at the other hospitals that Israel has destroyed. And this is what will happen at the few hospitals that remain.
Israel has shut down 21 of Gaza’s 35 hospitals, including Gaza’s only cancer hospital. The hospitals still operating have severe shortages of basic medicine and supplies. One by one the hospitals are being picked off. Soon there will be no health facilities left. This is by design.
Tens of thousands of terrified Palestinians, forced to evacuate by Israel, their homes blasted into rubble, seek refuge from the relentless bombing by camping out in and around Gaza’s hospitals. They hope the medical centers will not be targeted by Israel. If Israel abided by the Geneva Conventions they would be correct. But Israel is not carrying out a war. It is carrying out a genocide. And in a genocide, a population, and all that sustains a population, is obliterated.
In an ominous sign that Israel will turn on the Palestinians in the West Bank once it is done flattening Gaza, armored vehicles have surrounded at least four West Bank hospitals. The Ibn Sina Hospital has been raided by Israeli soldiers along with the East Jerusalem Hospital.
Israel’s settler colonial state was founded on lies. It is sustained by lies. And now, when it is grimly determined to carry out the worst slaughter and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba, or “catastrophe,” that saw 750,000 Palestinians ethnically cleansed and some 50 massacres by Jewish militias, it spits out one grotesque absurdity after another. It speaks of Palestinians as a dehumanized mass. There are no mothers, fathers, children, teachers, doctors, lawyers, cooks, poets, taxi drivers or shopkeepers. Palestinians, in the Israeli lexicon, are a single contagion that must be eradicated.
Watch this video of Israeli school children singing, “We Will Annihilate Everyone” in Gaza.
Hitler Youth used to sing songs like this about Jews.
Those who embark upon projects of mass killing lie to avoid demoralizing their own populations, lull the victims into believing they will not all be exterminated and stop outside forces from intervening. The Nazis claimed that Jews packed on trains and sent to extermination camps were on work details and had good medical care and adequate food. As for the infirm and elderly, they were cared for in rest centers. The Nazis even created a mock camp for the “resettlement” of Jews “to the East,” – Theresienstadt – where international bodies such as the Red Cross could see how humanely the Jews were treated, even as millions were being exterminated.
At least 664,000 and possibly as many as 1.2 million Armenians were massacred or died of exposure, disease and starvation during the genocide carried out by the Ottoman Empire from the spring of 1915 to the autumn of 1916. The Armenian genocide was as public as the genocide in Gaza. European and U.S. consular missions provided detailed accounts of the campaign to cleanse modern day Türkiye of Armenians.
The Ottoman government, in an attempt to hide the genocide, banned foreigners from taking photographs of Armenian refugees or the corpses that lined the roads. Israel too has blocked the foreign press from Gaza, carrying out only a handful of brief and carefully staged visits arranged by the Israeli military. Israel periodically cuts off internet and phone services. At least 43 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed by Israel since the Hamas incursion into Israel on Oct. 7, many undoubtedly targeted by Israeli forces.
Armenians, like Palestinians, were forced from their homes, gunned down and denied food and water. Armenian deportees were sent on death marches to the Syrian Desert where tens of thousands were shot or died from starvation, cholera, malaria, dysentery and influenza. Israel is forcing 1.1 million Palestinians into the southern tip of Gaza and bombing them as they flee. These refugees, like the Armenians, lack food, water, fuel and sanitation. They too will soon succumb to epidemics of infectious diseases.
Talat Pasha, the de facto leader of the Ottoman Empire, told the United States ambassador, Henry Morgenthau Sr., in words that replicate Israel’s stance, on Aug. 2, 1915, “that our Armenian policy is absolutely fixed and that nothing can change it. We will not have the Armenians anywhere in Anatolia. They can live in the desert but nowhere else.”
The longer the genocide continues the more absurd the lies become.
There are big Israeli lies. The obliteration of Gaza and wanton killing of thousands of Palestinians, Israel insists, is a targeted effort to get rid of Hamas rather than a campaign to reduce Gaza to a pile of rubble, carry out mass murder and ethnically cleanse Palestinians.
There are small Israeli lies. Forty beheaded babies. Al Shifa Hospital is a “Hamas command center.” A calendar in Arabic on the wall of a hospital, according to IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, is “a guardian [guard] list, where every terrorist writes his name and every terrorist has his own shift guarding the people that were here.” An Israeli actor dressed up as a nurse and speaking heavily accented Arabic claims to be Palestinian doctor and to have seen Hamas use civilians as human shields. She says members of Hamas “attacked Al Shifa Hospital” and stole “the fuel and medicine.” Palestinian militants, rather than Israeli tanks, Israel says, are responsible for shelling Al Shifa Hospital. Israel struck a car full of “terrorists” in southern Lebanon, “terrorists” who turned out to be three girls, their mother and grandmother. The explosion at the Al Ahli Hospital was the result of an errant rocket fired by the Palestinians, a claim questioned by The New York Times when it discredited the video based on analysis of its time stamp. Israel said it “responded to the request of the director of Shifa Hospital to allow Gazan citizens who were sheltering in the hospital and who wish to evacuate from Shifa Hospital towards the humanitarian crossing in the Gaza Strip via a secure axis,” a statement Mohammed Zaqout, director general of hospitals in Gaza, said was “false,” adding “we were forced to leave by gunpoint.” Israeli Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, in a video pilloried by the BBC, shows viewers a meager stash of automatic weapons in a promotional video that magically increases once foreign reporters arrive for a guided tour. The IDF later deleted it.
The lies will be written into the Israeli school books. The lies will be repeated by Israeli politicians, historians and journalists. The lies will be told on Israeli television and in Israeli films and books. Israelis are eternal victims. Palestinians are absolute evil. There was no genocide. Türkiye, a century later, still denies what happened to the Armenians.
In wartime people believe what they want to believe. The lies fill a hunger within the Israeli public that sees the conflict as a binary struggle between “the children of light and the children of darkness.” The lies are a defense against accountability, for if Israel refuses to acknowledge reality, it is not forced to respond to reality. The lies create cognitive dissonance, where fact becomes fiction and fiction becomes truth. The lies make any discussion of genocide, or reconciliation, impossible.
Israel, with the backing of the Biden administration, will continue to snuff out all systems that sustain life in Gaza. Hospitals. Schools. Power plants. Water treatment facilities. Factories. Farms. Apartment blocks. Houses. Then Israel will pretend, like the killers in past genocides, it never happened.
The lies used by Israel to absolve itself of responsibility will eat away at Israeli society. They will corrode its moral, religious, civic, intellectual and political life. The lies will elevate war criminals to heroic status and demonize those with a conscience. Israel’s genocide, as with the 1965 mass killings in Indonesia, will be mythologized, an epic battle against the forces of evil and barbarity, just as we mythologized the genocide of Native Americans and turned our settlers and murderous cavalry units into heroes. The killers in the Indonesian war against communism are cheered at rallies as saviors. They are interviewed about the “heroic” battles they fought nearly six decades ago. Israel will do the same. It will deform itself. It will celebrate its crimes. It will turn evil into good. It will exist within a self-constructed myth. The truth, as in all despotisms, will be banished. Israel, a monster to the Palestinians, will be a monster to itself.

SOMEBODY PLEASE NUKE ISRAEL
It’s a land grab, it’s what Israel and Jews do best, steal land.
If this were just about Hamas, then Nazi Amerika would be saying, ‘Once Hamas had been eliminated, we will rebuild Gaza for Palistinians’, but they aren’t saying this, so it’s a total eviction. Where to, Egypt?
cherwell the real architcet of the bombing and burning of germany behind churchill
http://www.renegadetribune.com/cherwell-memorandum-the-public-jew-behind-bombing-germany/
This week, a new devastating milestone was reached: over 5,000 children have been killed in Gaza in the last six weeks.
A temporary truce has now been announced, and while a cessation of Israel’s onslaught on Gaza is welcome, a four-day respite will do nothing to stop the relentless bombing and killing of Palestinians. ‘Temporary’ is simply not long enough to address the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
We will not stop demanding a permanent ceasefire. So, this Saturday 25th November we march again. will you join the national march for Palestine this Saturday to call for a full ceasefire and bring an end to these senseless killings?
Join the demo on Saturday
At the last national march, over 800,000 of us came together to march peacefully in London. Last weekend, events all over the country saw thousands more continuing the call for an end to the violence.
But the devastation in Gaza has not stopped. After 47 days of relentless bombing and ground attacks, over 14,000 Palestinians have been killed. The World Health Organisation has warned of a dire health crisis unfolding as people do not have access to clean water, and sanitation services have completely stopped working. Disease and infection are spreading, adding to the already desperate situation in the streets of Gaza.
Without a permanent ceasefire, the truce announced yesterday could be little more than a stay of execution for thousands of Palestinians.
We must show Palestinians that our solidarity is unwavering and we will continue to demand justice for them.
will you join us and come along to the march this Saturday 25th November from 12:30pm, and share the details with your networks?
Share the demo on Twitter
The pressure on politicians is mounting. The Scottish Parliament has called for an immediate ceasefire, joining the Welsh Senedd in doing so too.
Meanwhile, Westminster is still burying its head in the sand. But if we keep marching, keep showing up, keep raising our voices, we will become impossible to ignore.
I hope that you’ll join us this Saturday.
In solidarity,
Ryvka,
Deputy Director, PSC
There are many untruths in this article. For example the Arminian genocide was carried out in Turkey but by the young donmesh turks which were all from the jewish tribe. As for the jewish holocaust there are many discrepancies with the whole story. The Red Cross only claims/accounts for around/ less than 300,000 jews. As well, in the concentration/work camps as the war continuedon, food became scarce and typhus set in, thus many in these concentration camps died as a result. So, who is telling the truth? More, the 6000,000 number was a favourite even before the war. The slogan “never again” as declared by the Sabbatian cult is being perpetrated on the indigenous Palestinians by the said victims of the so called jewish holocaust. Isn’t that so ironic, such hypocrisy. And the list goes on of always playing the victim by lies and deception. Wake up people, do not fall for the lies and deception.

Since the world refuses to wake up or fight back against these homicidal psychopaths, then we all deserve what’s happening and what’s coming. Humans are a funny lot. They wait till just their noses are above water, then they panic, but by then it’s wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too late.
The Bolsheviks are here. DEATH is here, but just keep giggling, hiding, eating your popcorn, watching your porn and propaganda, believing that someone else will come to your rescue, cause that’s just the way the world has always worked, right ?
W R O N G !
You are gonna die ! Your lives and culture and being completely dismantled. These flat-chested weak wimpy jealous greedy imps known as Jews are like carpenter ants on the house of your life, eating away at the timbers until the whole fucken thing comes crashing down, AND YOU ARE GONNA LET IT !! YOU are responsible. The Jews are so easy to defeat, but you absolutely refuse to lift a finger to save yourself or anyone else. NOW THAT IS SUCCESSFUL JEWISH MIND CONDITIONING, and completely anti-Christian. See ; they’ve already won ; they’ve got you to turn a blind eye to your own undoing.
ALL HAIL SAUL ALINSKY !!
FROM MY COUSIN
My grandfather was an ARP fire fighter in w w 2
They were told a stray German bomb destroyed the records office and they were to stay back and not interfere
This seemed crazy, but he found out the historic records office of British subjects and families went back many generations
and it was burnt down on Churchill’s orders.
We know from British Archive documents, FOI requests the Mitrokhin material and whistleblower info that
restricted wartime files shredded by Tony Blair showed a senior Polish Rabbi passing info to the Brits and
that Adolf Hitler knew the plan to extinguish the white race, so under the 4 year discussions managed to get a peace treaty
with Neville Chamberlian who like the royals were determined to stop another major war
Moshe Solomons said on radio quote
” it was the master stroke of the jew to get the 2 anglo saxon races to go to war with each other twice in a century ”
so sending our menfolk to war on the premise that foreign feet must not walk on British soil
as soon as the war was over we imported in lots of poles and black folk which were not at all needed.
The public were lied to continualy, the belief in Globlism expounded by the NWO wanted mass race mixing
Einstiens brother went on record with his speech that Russian soldiers were told to gang rape every German woman
between the ages of 8 and 80 even nuns in convents were gang raped
the idea was to destroy the German genetics tables, and leave them with mixed race babies
he went on that the plan for the white women in the UK would be gentler, they would fill the country with
illiterate blacks, dumb down girls in schools an colleges, and let time do the rest
He said in 20 years you will see UK stupid white women carrying black kids with no father
It was plain to see and some British patriots like John Amory Oswald Mosely William Joyce and Enoch Powell did try to warn us
but were shouted down by the racists
The only solution is to start repatriation and do it now
They’re just doing what their demon god of the Torah or Old Testament instructed them to do: conquer/enslave/liquidate the goyim. And this is the same Semitic demiurge (Yahweh) these Christian nutjobs believe in too. But hey, don’t worry about it, all this mongrel Muslim scum will soon be transported to the EU/USA/UK where they’ll be giving free flats & money where they can start knifing white kids like in Ireland & setting up their ‘sex grooming gangs’ raping & pimping out brainless white trollops.
PERVERT CLIFF RICHARD NAMED AGAIN

paul davis–
‘the only solution is the Einsatzgruppen’
ALL CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS MUST BE KILLED !
WORLDWIDE !
because they are the ones to make it happen !
What has been very illuminating has been the reporting by Citizen Free Press, Gateway Pundit, Breibart, etc. They pose as alternative sites, when in reality they are fronts for the Zionists. Its been an eyeopening experience to see just how blatantly they spout Israeli propaganda.
Frank–it is not anti-Christian: the Christians are tailor-made to accept any outrage from the Jews, and then die happily as martyrs
The Jews fake one genocide (the ‘Holocaust’), but cause others (two World wars – ‘Kill the best of the goyim’), and directly participate in others (the Bolshevik Holdomor, Israel in Palestine).
some very good comments here thanks lads
thank god that little twat with the natzi natzi stuff has gone
Very well spoken, phyllis costa. Thank you.
Have you noticed yet how all of the usual fifth columnists… which to clarify for the slower learner is Ritter and Macgregor… the loon of alabamy and all the other imbeciles that lied and then corrected themselves throughout the Rusky debacle. the slavlands slaughter… the fake war … for personal gain..
..are of course now telling you how Hamas are winning hands down…don’t you find that just a tad curious?…because presumably their view of winning differs little from being slaughtered by the thousand…
It’s almost as though these ex spooks are running some sort of psy-op…isn’t it?… I mean it wouldn’t be the first time ..would it?..
because everyone has access to the information … yet most sedants for some hitherto undiscovered reason obviously prefer Fairy stories spun by Yankee alphabet men..
You can just peruse the conflict of narratives aggregated here on the TS.. take a minute or two…
Obviously…
The Armenian genocide of 1915 to 1923, was an attempt to erase christianity from Asia Minor. As many as 1.2 million Armenians of the Apostolic Church were brutally murdered and countless others were driven from their ancient homelands in a ruthless campaign of ethnic cleansing. What Phyllis says is true.
From 1909 forward, jews controlled the Turkish government. These jews were the Donmeh, a word that means something like “turncoat” in Turkish, in reference to the fact that the Donmeh had all previously been followers of the jewish messianic figure, Sabbatai Zevi but had all converted to Islam in emulation of their David, who when confronted with the choice of submission to Allah and martyrdom, promptly denounced judaism and became a pious muslim, instead.
The ministry of Sabbatai Zevi marked the first expression of the now characteristic jewish inversion of temperance and pious behaviour, espoused in an unlikely creed that held that the jews could prompt the intervention of YHWH into wordly affairs once again and usher in a new age of jewish rule by elevating moral outrages, of the most reprehensible licentiousness, to the status of devotional acts.
The Young Turks were Donmeh and the Armenian genocide was initiated by the Turkish jews as a vying for regional geopolitical control, with the aim of the establishment of a jewish state in Palestine. This manoeuvering seems to have been less important to the Donmeh, than the native hatred of christianity that they bore because they pitilessly strove to eliminate a defenceless people.
There is an on-line legend, that jewish intellectuals like Deborah Lipstadt and Elie Wiesel have been righteously campaigning for the recognition of the genocide of the Anatolian Armenians, by the Israeli state for years. It is self-aggrandizing propagandism. Israel refuses to acknowledge the Armenian genocide, not because of a wish to vouchsafe genocide as a precept exclusive to jews but because Israel knows that the perpetrators of megadeath in Armenia were its own kinsmen.
By the way, it was the International Tracing Service that provided the accurate tally of deaths in Axis concentration, transit and work camps. It wasn’t until the 1950’s that the International Tracing Service was co-opted into the Red Cross, whereupon its bountiful archive was closed to any further public scrutiny.
