BUT DO YOU STILL CONDEMN HAMAS

The concept of a “humanitarian pause” appears paradoxical, devoid of true humanitarian intent. Even a ceasefire, declared after an extensive 31 days of conflict resulting in 15 thousand casualties, fails to align with genuine humanitarian principles.

Beyond this, the purported humanitarian nature of the four-hour daily pause is dubious. Its actual objective seems to be strategic rather than humanitarian in nature. The intentions include establishing an increased Israeli military presence in northern Gaza, relocating the remaining Palestinian residents in the north to southern Gaza, surrounding, suffocating, and subsequently expelling the Palestinians in southern Gaza toward the deserts of Sinai in Egypt.

This plan appears to be a systematic effort to ethnically cleanse the population, eradicating their existence and exploiting the natural resources in the revered lands of Gaza and the West Bank. Furthermore, utilizing the remaining lands tainted with the remnants of genocide for real estate projects. This reveals a disturbing perspective, raising concerns about the broader geopolitical implications and ethical considerations and Palestinian loss of property and life.
