Every Sunday evening, the program “Fantástico” on TV Globo promotes the version of the “war between Israel and Hamas”, the original name of the military response to the terrorist attack of October 7, 2023. The reality is that Israel's response to the attack resulted in a ongoing mass murder of the population in the Gaza Strip, a massacre that is light years away from the delicate “disproportionate response” with which some are still trying to show that they disagree with what Israel is doing.
“It is not a war between soldiers and soldiers. “It is a war between a wellprepared army and women and children,” said President Lula in a widely criticized speech . paises bycuttingofPalestinianhumanitarianaid#:~:text=O%20president%20da%20Rep%C3%BAblica%2C%20Luiz,Israel%20na%20Faixa%20de%20Gaza.)
rightwing extremist and Israeli government leaders, shown by “Fantástico” on the night of February 18th.
It is always good to remember that whoever killed Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli general and prime minister who tried to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians, was a young farright Israeli. The attack occurred shortly after the end of a peace rally with more than 100,000 people on November 4, 1995. The Israeli rightwing extremist propagated a hate campaign against Rabin due to the peace agreements signed on September 13, 1995. 1993 and 1993 24 and 28, 1995. And the security failures that made his assassination possible always suggested that important figures on the far right were involved.
CONTINUED AFTER RECOMMENDATIONS
In November 2023, the film “The Last Day of Yitzhak Rabin” by Israeli director Amos Gitai will be shown in Porto Alegre shows the context of the times that makes us understand that the Israeli far right does not want peace.
The number of deaths (29,000) and injured (69,000) so far (February 18) totals nearly 100,000 announced by the Gaza Strip Health Ministry. These are mainly children, teenagers, mothers and elderly people killed, injured and mutilated without knowing why. Massacred by Israeli rockets, bombs and gunfire that reduced the cities in which they lived to charred rubble and decimated their families and their futures.
Given its scale, this “reaction” by Israel, due to its logic of total annihilation, is reminiscent of Operation Barbarrosa in June 1942, the invasion of the Soviet Union by German troops in which 26 million people were killed and thousands of cities were completely devastated. .
But despite its absolute military superiority, the billions of dollars in resources it has invested and will certainly be available for a long time to come and the enormous human and material damage it will continue to cause in the Gaza region, Israel has lost the war.
This is not a military, political or religious conclusion, but an obvious historical conclusion. All the military might and wealth of the United States (US) could not defeat the Vietnamese farmers, even though the American invasion claimed more than two million lives (equivalent to 5% of the country's population at the time). All Russian and American military might has not defeated the people of Afghanistan. And the president's “weapons of mass destruction” lie, trillions of dollars spent, and cuttingedge U.S. military technology did not prevail in Iraq.
The losers of this war were not only the government, the officers of the armed forces, the police and the secret service (Mossad) as well as Israel's rightwing extremist politicians. The people of Israel lost this war. Because even though she is alive, healthy, studying, working, having fun and having plans for the future, she is certainly living in fear. And living in fear is the worst of all worlds. Sleeping afraid, being afraid, leaving the house, being afraid, having fun.
The more they murder unarmed people, including children (more than ten thousand have been killed so far), the more they destroy cities, the more they terrorize those who have nowhere else to go, and surpass themselves in cowardice and cruelty, the further away we become us Everything will proceed from a peaceful solution to the conflict in Palestine, which has been going on for more than 70 years, since the founding of the State of Israel.
And now?
