COLLUSION & COMPLICITY First, the Gaza problem is not the same story as the Palestinian problem. The British and the French became the roots of the Gaza problem when their Suez company, that controlled the strategic Suez Canal, was nationalized in 1956 by the then-president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The two countries wanted the canal back but were eager to start a war with Egypt. They had asked the Israelis for help who attacked Egypt by invading and occupying Gaza . France and Britain are also the countries who laid in 1916 the foundation of the Palestinian problem that have led to the declaration of the British Arthur Balfour in 1917. These two countries are the first to have the leverage to change this part of the entire problem which the Palestinian problem is. The role of the United States is unrelated to the history of the Gaza problem but to the Palestinian problem as a whole that began with the recognition by Harry Truman on May 14, 1948, and eleven minutes after European Zionist migrants renamed historic Palestine. The complicity became deeper after the founding of AIPAC in the 1960s. The role of Germany has its roots in the Haavara deal, that German Ashkenazis struck with the Nazis in 1933 to have themselves migrated to what was then still British Mandatory Palestine. The role of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have their roots in the so-called Abraham "peace" accord that was mastermind in 2020 by Netanyahu and Trump's son-in-law, the orthodox Jew Jared Kushner. The "agreement" was mastermind to isolate the Palestinians from the Arabic world. The role of other reported countries are related to policies in favor of the Israelis. But in Gaza, people appear not to know when they ask "Where are the Arabs?" In 1995, the European Commission and the Israelis struck an association agreement that brought the Union into the position of collusion as it includes Israeli export that has its origin in the occupied territories. Since July 2024, some EU member states are calling for a review. On December 17, 2014, the General Court of the European Union had annulled on grounds of on factual imputations derived from the press and the internet, the listing of Hamas as a terrorist organization. On January 24, 2024, the EU listed Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar on its terrorist list over the event on October 7th. Putting Sinwar on EU's terrorist list is a violation as he is a member of a recognized resistance, and was October 7th not a terrorist attack, both because of these international laws: The Law Of Belligerent Occupation says that occupied people have the right to form armed groups to resist occupation. The Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions refers to the right of self-determination of all people under foreign and colonial rule, and in the context of self-determination as detailed in the UNGA Resolution A/RES/3817. In addition, Netanyahu's declaration of war on Gaza from October 7, 2023 is both ill-conceived and a blatant violation of Article 51 of the UN Charter. Ill-conceived because an occupying war belligerent cannot declare war on a part of a country while that country is currently gradually under annexation. Then, Art. 51 is in international context, meaning the article concerns countries. Gaza is not a country but part of a gradually annexed country. Israelis have never lifted their self-declared war since 1967 with the remaining parties the Palestinians and Syria. How to declare war when one is already at war in all times (ref. Mark Regev in Jan. 2009).

CRIMES OF EXTERMINATION

Extermination is the intentional and massive homicide of an entire group of persons. The international law of armed conflict specifically establishes that it is forbidden to attack civilians (GCIV Art. 32, API Art. 51.2, and APII Art. 13); to murder or exterminate the wounded or sick, the shipwrecked, prisoners of war, and civilians (GCI and GCII Art. 12, GCIII Art. 13, GCIV Art. 32, API Art. 10, and APII Art. 7); or to order that there shall be no survivors (API Art. 40).

The crime of extermination requires that:

The perpetrator killed one or more persons, including by inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of part of a population;
The conduct constituted, or took place as part of, a mass killing of members of a civilian population;
The conduct was committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population;
The perpetrator knew that the conduct was part of or intended the conduct to be part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population.

THE GENERALS' PLAN

The Israeli generals' plan refers to a siege strategy proposed by former Israeli general Giora Eiland during the Israel–Hamas war. The plan, also known as the Eiland Plan, was published in a military forum critical of the army's efforts against Palestine. It contains the following goals:

Changing the doctrine of war
Moving from the concept of deterrence to the concept of decisiveness
The introduction of more offensive officers to the General Staff, which runs the army
A clear victory against the enemy in all sectors.

MERES found the plan in September 2024.

We are monitoring Northern Gaza where the plan has been rolled out since October 6, 2024. Collected video and photos are showing that the second goal turns out to be the use of brute force, starvation and banning all aid to cause a slow death until Hamas surrenders. The implementation of the plan shows clear hallmarks of crimes of extermination

DYSTOPIAN WAR

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
ADOPTED 09 December 1948	BY General Assembly resolution 260 A (III)
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023.

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice.

In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc.

Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human.

It is a dystopian war when the Israeli belligerent fractions Gaza into pieces to repeatingly force occupied people back and forth from one piece to another piece, or with the intention to uproot the people into one single section by declaring more fractions as "combat zone" to create a shrinking "safe zone".

Israel kills another UNRWA staff member in Deir al-Balah

eliminating UNWRA

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees says Israel has killed one of its staff members in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

ELIMINATION OF UNWRA (= part of Israel's dystopian war) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was established as a autonome organ of the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December 1949 and became operational on 1 May 1950. It was established to provide relief to all refugees resulting from the 1948 conflict; this initially included Jewish and Arab Palestine refugees inside the State of Israel until the Israeli government took over this responsibility in 1952. The mandate of the UN body makes it unique that it can register Palestinians as refugee throughout generations, including of those who were not registered in the early 1950s. This is the real obstacle to the process of the Israeli Zionization of the remaining parts of historic Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank. On January 11, 2024, the Advocate General Emiliou of the Court Of Justice of the European Union said that Palestinian applicants for refugee status can claim that UNRWA’s protection has ‘ceased’ in the light of the general living conditions prevailing in the Gaza Strip. UNWRA has NOT ceased but has been under Israeli siege to achieve their goal to eliminate its operations in Gaza in order to strip Palestinians from their refugee status. The Israelis use phrases like "Hamas was embedded" or the targeted object was used by Hamas. We added reported developments about Biden's pier to this timeline as the story behind is political. Developments reveal that politics of by-passing UNWRA is the motive of the pier. It started in November 2023 when the Israelis sought contact with Cyprus that resulted in the misleading claim that Nicosia offered the Israelis a humanitarian corridor. It is considered misleading when looking at developments timelined in 'medical treatment', 'humanitarian aid', 'humanitarian crisis, and 'food, water, fuel & electricity'.

FOOD. WATER, FUEL & ELECTRICITY

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
ADOPTED 09 December 1948	BY General Assembly resolution 260 A (III)
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice.

In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc.

Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human.

It is a dystopian war when the Israeli belligerent fractions Gaza into pieces to repeatingly force occupied people back and forth from one piece to another piece, or with the intention to uproot the people into one single section by declaring more fractions as "combat zone" to create a shrinking "safe zone".

FORCED DISPLACEMENT

Practice relating to Rule 129.
The Act of Displacement
Section A. Forced displacement

Additional Protocol II
Article 17 of the 1977 Additional Protocol II provides:

The displacement of the civilian population shall not be ordered for reasons related to the conflict unless the security of the civilians involved or imperative military reasons so demand. Should such displacements have to be carried out, all possible measures shall be taken in order that the civilian population may be received under satisfactory conditions of shelter, hygiene, health, safety and nutrition.
Civilians shall not be compelled to leave their own territory for reasons connected with the conflict.

Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of Non-International Armed Conflicts (Protocol II), Geneva, 8 June 1977, Article 17. Article 17 was adopted by consensus. CDDH, Official Records, Vol. VII, CDDH/SR.53, 6 June 1977, p. 144.

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice.

Forced displacement

We have seen that the Israelis are constantly speaking about "evacuation" when they want an selected area empty to destroy it.

But, evacuation is a process of emptying a building, a place, an area in time of peace to save people's life when there is a calamity like flooding, wildfire or earth quake. The call to people to evacuate carries a humanitarian character.

This is not the case when the caller is a war belligerent and tells people to follow the order to leave while exposing them to life endangering threat, as the place where they live have been selected to be destroyed. We've seen such kind of "evacuation" in Gaza where the real motive is voiced by Israeli extremists like Itamar Ben-Gvir, Smotrich and Daniella Weiss.

This isn’t an expeditionary force. There are no tanks. There are no infantry troops. These are mostly commando units.” Golberg said that it is likely that Israeli forces are likely focusing on known Hezbollah installations or similar targets. “So in that sense, if Hezbollah was expecting an invasion, then Hezbollah's statements are correct.

TARGETING FORCED EXPELLED PEOPLE

Practice relating to Rule 129.
The Act of Displacement
Section A. forced displacement

Additional Protocol II
Article 17 of the 1977 Additional Protocol II provides:

The displacement of the civilian population shall not be ordered for reasons related to the conflict unless the security of the civilians involved or imperative military reasons so demand. Should such displacements have to be carried out, all possible measures shall be taken in order that the civilian population may be received under satisfactory conditions of shelter, hygiene, health, safety and nutrition.
Civilians shall not be compelled to leave their own territory for reasons connected with the conflict.

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice.

forced displacement

We have seen that the Israelis are constantly speaking about "evacuation" when they want an selected area empty to destroy it. But, evacuation is a method used in time of peace to save people's life when there is a calamity like flooding, wildfire or eath quake. The call to people to leave carries a humanitarian character.

This is not the case when the caller is a war belligerent and tells people to follow the order to leave while exposing them to life endangering threat, as the place where they live have been selected to be attacked.

It is people are forced expelled from their homes, neighborhood and city to become displaced.
