1/ It is impossible to exaggerate the level of criminality, immorality and crass, murderous stupidity that come together in the massacre Israel carried out in Al-Mawasi this morning. Criminality: Israel used wildly disproportionate force assassinate two people. --->
2/ Israel pushed the displaced Palestinians to Mawasi, defining it a "safe zone". Then, assuming it had a chance to assassinate Muhammad Deif, one of the most senior Hamas leaders supposedly hiding there, Israel bombed the "safe zone". Dozens were killed. --->
3/ The death of a single person does not legitimize the slaughter of dozens. Israel is looking for the only "victory image" it has left in Gaza - the corpses of Deif and Sinwar. To achieve this travesty (Israel was defeated) Israel thinks nothing of slaughtering innocents. --->
4/ Immorality: Israel forced these Gazans to flee to Mawasi. The entire population of Gaza was ordered to flee, possibly because the IDF wanted to destroy as much as possible before signing a deal (that is SOP). Mawasi was a ״safe zone", possibly because it had nothing. --->
5/ The great majority of Israeli Jews believe not only that Jewish blood is worth more but that Palestinian blood specifically has no worth or value at all. Israel believes it can kill as many people as it wants to "get its man", even when getting said man is pointless. --->
6/ Stupidity: There is a hostage deal on the table. Deif's death will not bring about the collapse of Hamas; it will only make Hamas less willing to compromise. There is nothing to be gained revenge. There is everything to be lost- Israeli (hostages) and Palestinian lives. --->
7/ In the words of God, uttered by the prophet Elijah, "hast thou killed and also taken possession?" Israel forces "evacuation", Israel bombs, Israel knows, Israel attacks and kills, Israel sets conditions, Israel balks. Israel has run out of options. It knows only death.
