“You decompose behind your flimsy army, your stench alarms you, your panic strikes at love. The land is not yours, the land has been taken back, your shrines fall through open air, your tablets are quickly revised, you bow down in hell beside your hired torturers, and still count your battalions and crank out your marching songs.” Leonard Cohen.
It is a full year since the genocide began in Palestine. Here is one video that shows was happened on 7 October of 2023. Israelis are about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians with the support of Israeli society now occurring on screen in northern Gaza … all over Gaza. The settlers are attacking people in the West Bank. The Israeli genocide has extended to Lebanon. Israel has been operating under three doctrines; the Hannibal directive, the Dahieh doctrine, and the Samson option.
Israel invoked the Hannibal directive on 7 October 2023 at the music festivals inside kibbutzim just outside the Gaza border fence. This directive dictates that it is preferable for the IDF to murder Israeli hostages rather than allow them to fall into the hands of the Palestinian resistance. This is because in order to negotiate the return of one Israeli soldier, Israel had to return thousands of Palestinian prisoners to their families and homes. One of those prisoners was Yahya Sinwar, the Palestinian resistance leader murdered in battle just a few days ago. Hence, the IDF was instructed to fire on Israeli kibbutzim under siege by Palestinian resistance groups on the 7th of October 2023 and to kill Israeli captives in Gaza.
The Dahieh doctrine is the use of collective punishment against civilian populations in Palestine and in Lebanon. Dahieh (Arabic: الضاحية الجنوبية, lit. ‘the southern suburb’, French: Banlieue Sud de Beyrouth, Dâhiye de Beyrouth) is a predominantly Shia Muslim suburb in the south of Beirut, in the Baabda District of Lebanon. Dahieh was flattened by Israel in 2006 in punishment for the staunch defence of Lebanon by Hezbollah. Israel is undertaking a similar action in 2024 as part of its punishment of the people resisting its invasion of Lebanon. Already thousands of Lebanese have been killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes in this suburb of Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon.
The Samson option is Israel’s total annihilation of the resistance using nuclear weapons.
Here is one version of the events of October 7th last year.
