The intent is ethnic cleansing. They have said as much that the goal is to depopulate the Gaza Strip. They have called Palestinians “human animals”.

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.

“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.

No, he clearly called Hamas “human animals” since they are not fighting Palestinians, but Hamas.

Yet they cut off food, water, fuel, electricity and Internet to over 2.3 million Palestinians over 40% are children. They killed over 10,000 who over 4000 of them are children. The actions clearly suggested they were collectively punishing them all which is a war crime. Israel is a pariah state and acting like it and the US is equally guilty for the genocide. The intent is genocide, and what we are witnessing is exactly that.
