Sentences:
1. The army hastened to distance itself from Cohen’s
comments after they GARNERED the attention of the international media: what may
have sounded like war crimes, a spokesperson clarified, was merely a remark
taken out of context.
2. Yet what we see playing out on the ground in northern
Gaza is exactly as Cohen described it: tens of thousands of civilians forced
out of homes, shelters and hospitals, day after day, by airstrikes, artillery
fire, quadcopter drones or armed battalions arriving at their door – who make sure
to DEMOLISH or burn whatever is left behind.
3. Remaining residents are being starved; some are forced to
survive on salt and water alone. With no food entering the besieged areas for
more than a month, global food security experts have warned of a “strong
likelihood that famine is IMMINENT”.
4. Yet senior defence officials told Israel’s Haaretz
newspaper soon after the campaign began that the political ECHELON was pushing
for a different goal altogether: annexation.
5. That desire, it seems, is getting stronger by the day
among a growing segment of the Israeli right who see this as a moment of REDEMPTION.
6. And, as the terrorist Israel continues its preparations
to make this a reality, the final piece of the puzzle may have just fallen into
place. The return to the White House of Donald Trump, whose previous tenure was
marked by the RENUNCIATION of longstanding US and international consensus
positions on Israel-Palestine, puts American support for Israeli annexation of
northern Gaza firmly on the table.
7. Whether it’s in the context of a revamped “deal of the
century” or a less GRANDIOSE agreement whereby Netanyahu gets what he wants in
exchange for “winding down” hostilities in the south of the strip, a permanent
Israeli seizure of at least part of the territory appears dangerously imminent.
8. For more than a year, international pressure has failed
to put the brakes on Israel’s crazed ONSLAUGHT on Gaza, which many experts have
termed a genocide.
9. International courts are unable to keep pace with the CARNAGE
on the ground, while a series of empty threats from Washington has further
emboldened Israel’s far-right government and its base, who will be feeling
invincible after Trump’s victory.
