🇵🇸 Extermination disguised as negotiation: Understanding Israel’s strategy in Gaza | Mondoweiss
This is not a paradox, but a method. #GideonsChariots with its objective to concentrate over two million Palestinians in #Rafah and “cleanse” the remainder of #Gaza, is not merely a plan of conquest. It is a fantasy of sterilization dressed in logistical rationality. Its brutality lies not only in its intentions — military and demographic but also in its open-endedness, because it will be an occupation without governance or responsibility
It imagines Gaza as a surgical field: empty of social density and politics, a flattened terrain where the Israeli army may operate unhindered and where civilians are transformed into captives or debris. This is where extermination can proceed behind the veil of humanitarian logistics. But this is the thing: while Israel announces its plan and leaks many of its contours, making sure that the endgame of #extermination is out in the open, it also delays its fulfillment.
