But why?? What is the point to the senselessness of this?
It's to remove anyone that would testify against the Zionists should the world finally hold them accountable and arrest their leaders.
With no one to report facts, the narrative can be constructed to say anything they want.
It's crazy that this isn't immediately self-apparent to people...
Anas Al Sharif was the only journalist left in North Gaza. He reports on the most dangerous scenes without fear for his life.
Maybe Israel wants to control the narrative and Gaza's journalists are getting in the way.
Maybe they want revenge on Palestinians for daring to risist. Same reason they bomb hospitals and kitchens and schools. Same reason the mow down crowds of aid seekers. Same reason they target children for daring to be born. Same reason they torture doctors. They're trying to break the will of the people and punish them for daring to resist, and make themselves feel powerful and godlike even though they still can't actually win.
Or maybe the cruelty is the point, they're so poisoned by their own propaganda that they just delight in genocide for its own sake. Winning isn't the point anymore and it's just about inflicting suffering and terror and death.
Are they actively resisting though? I'm pretty sure Israel is just performing ethnic cleansing of the area.
Medical staff continue treating the wounded even though they have basically no supplies left and their jobs have been made nearly impossible, Hamas still continues killing occupation troops, Ansar Allah continues enforcing its Red Sea blockade, there are many forms of resistance still happening even in this late stage of the genocide.
But even the very act of living is resistance in a time of genocide. Even the people who don't pick up a gauze or a gun are resisting, merely because they haven't given up the will to live.
