100 days of genocide and no end in sight
The Israeli lust for unbridled terrorism has put humanity's future at stake.
100 days have passed since the Israeli genocide in Gaza. ONE HUNDRED DAYS. 100 days of relentless massacres. 100 days of inhuman brutalities meted out to a captive population with nowhere to run. 100 days of unbridled terrorism in an enclave with nearly 50 percent children in a population of 2.3 million. 100 days of intentionally and indiscriminately dropping dumb bombs. 100 days of laying waste to a precarious infrastructure built amidst an inhuman blockade in place since 2006. 100 days of racist, incendiary rhetoric from the Zionists. 100 days of the intentional killing of journalists. 100 days of the intentional killing of healthcare professionals. 100 days of the intentional killing of teachers and academics. 100 days of unabashed terrorism backed by the vast majority of Western governments.
In these 100 days, the Zionists from the settler colonial terrorist state of Israel have killed more than 24,000 people, including over 10,000 children. The Zionists have made Gaza uninhabitable as they intended and proudly proclaimed to be undertaking so frequently that their utterances filled eight whole pages of South Africa’s 84-page submission at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), where they have charged Israel with genocide.
Still, the Israelis have failed miserably to achieve their military objectives. Not only have they failed to achieve their maximalist aim of ending the Palestinian resistance once and for all, but they have barely diminished the resistance’s fighting capabilities. There have been numerous occasions when the genocidal Israelis have claimed “absolute operational control” over various parts of North and Central Gaza, only to have their claims undermined by video evidence of Palestinian resistance destroying their tanks and sniping their men, and bombing them after luring them into meticulously-planned ambushes.
Israel’s figure of their military dead total just over 200, but with every single Israeli claim that has come out since October 7 — and, of course, historically — from lurid claims of “40 beheaded babies” to “mass rapes” proven to be lies, only the most propagandised genocide sympathisers would believe those numbers to be true. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to those paying attention that the Israelis have put a gag order on its hospitals from releasing casualty numbers where the occupation terrorists are being admitted after getting smoked by the resistance in Gaza.
Whenever I read about or watch the Palestinian resistance at work — fighters in their pajamas and sandals with no protective gear whatsoever, firing improvised Gaza-made weapons at their usurpers and scorching up entire tanks and armored trucks — my mind invariably goes, “You remember Dien Bien Phu,” in the voice of Malcolm X.
It comes from Malcolm X’s The Ballot or the Bullet speech:
“Up in French Indochina, those little peasants, rice growers, took on the might of the French army and ran all the Frenchmen, you remember Dien Bien Phu! The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa. They didn’t have anything but a rifle. The French had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare. But they put some guerilla action on. And a white man can’t fight a guerilla warfare. Guerilla action takes heart, takes nerve, and he doesn’t have that. He’s brave when he’s got tanks. He’s brave when he’s got planes. He’s brave when he’s got bombs. He’s brave when he’s got a whole lot of company along with him. But you take that little man from Africa and Asia; turn him loose in the woods with a blade. A blade. That’s all he needs. All he needs is a blade. And when the sun comes down — goes down — and it’s dark, it’s even-steven.”
For the Israelis, it has undoubtedly been worse than even-steven in Gaza when the Zionist userpers have faced Palestinian fighters instead of indulging their fervent desire to murder women and children. (Certainly, the Israeli lust for killing women and children has no parallel.) The Palestinian fighters have indeed shown heart and nerve that would undoubtedly be anathema to the button-pressing bravery of the Israeli terrorists raining down terror on AI generated targets in Gaza from the skies.
Palestinian resistance fighters blew away the facade of Israeli invincibility on October 7, and their fighting prowess since then has not helped Israel’s carefully crafted posturing as a leading military power in the world. Moreover, the Israeli soldiers’ continued propensity to stand at the windows as perfect sniping targets for Palestinian resistance has become a meme at this point. Jerry Seinfeld might even make a show out of it and perhaps call it “Israelis at the Windows Getting Sniped.” He wouldn’t run out of material any time soon.
The honourable thing for the Israelis to do after failing miserably in their military campaign would be to have a prisoner exchange — an offer that the Palestinians have kept on the table since October 7 — and talk with the Palestinians about giving them their rightful state, but honour and Israelis don’t go together, as the last 100 days have made clear to anyone still in the dark.
With escalating exchanges in Lebanon and now Yemen — with Israel’s ever-ready allies, the US and the UK, taking the lead in bombing several Yemeni cities — and resistance to US imperialism intensifying in US-occupied Iraq and Syria, the Israeli endgame is anyone’s guess. But one thing is certain: with every day of continuing butchery, the Israelis are pushing us ever closer to the edge of the precipice. We might soon run out of a point of return if we aren’t past it already.

The French tried to set a trap at Dien Bien Phu. They put themselves into an untenable position to try and lure the Vietnamese out into the open to fight them. The Vietnamese instead sat back and systematically destroyed the defenses with artillery.
The lesson to be learned is to not put yourself into an untenable situation just in the hope that it will lure your enemy into making a similar mistake. They may not be as dumb as you colonialists always assume they are.
