[News] Once again, the New York Times sells Israel's genocide in Gaza as law enforcement

Wed Dec 31 12:53:32 EST 2025

Israel is expelling 37 aid groups – a likely death sentence for 100,000s 
of Palestinians. But the Times speaks only of 'new rules' in Gaza, and 
'suspensions' for those who 'resist registration'

This is another masterclass from the New York Times in how to sell 
genocide as law enforcement.

According to today’s headline 
<https://substack.com/redirect/9ec063ff-98c2-4a80-94e7-6a2d6a6aacb0?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA>, 
“new Israeli rules” mean “suspensions” of aid groups from Gaza – that 
is, the forced expulsion of 37 humanitarian organisations from 
Palestinian territory illegally occupied by Israel.

These aid groups organise most of the field hospitals currently 
operating in Gaza and set up after Israel destroyed the enclave’s proper 
hospitals. The groups also run emergency shelters, water and sanitation 
services, and treatment centres for children with acute malnutrition.

Israel’s “registration rules” are a death sentence for a homeless, 
destitute Palestinian population left vulnerable to starvation, floods, 
winter cold and disease by Israel’s two-year destruction of their homeland.

	<https://substack.com/redirect/39918702-a906-45af-8cc4-069e94da80ac?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA> 	

Who is to blame? Apparently groups like Doctors Without Borders, Medical 
Aid for Palestinians and CARE. Why? Because they are “resisting” 
Israel’s “rules” to “provide detailed information” on their staff in 
Gaza – information Israel has used time and again to kill those aid 
workers.

As Doctors Without Borders point out 
<https://substack.com/redirect/acf31927-f16b-49b3-9f49-c2924656c7ef?j=eyJ1IjoiNDg0OWljIn0.Y6K1LMhdrJlQZgVGsgH3ZN_uOH6pr27RwbiXoo1LXXA>, 
“we support one in five hospital beds and one in three births” in Gaza. 
Israel, it added, was “cutting off life-saving medical assistance for 
hundreds of thousands of people".

Another organisation affected by the new “rules”, the Norwegian Refugee 
Council, noted that Israel had killed hundreds of aid workers in the 
past two years. “For us, it is a safety concern for our staff. And 
acknowledging who they are – it puts them at risk.”

The New York Times wants you to forget who is the criminal here.

It is Israel that’s illegally occupying Gaza and other Palestinian 
territories – and has been for decades.

It is Israel that has bombed Gaza into the Stone Age.

It is Israel that has ethnically cleansed Gaza’s people from their 
lands, driving them into ever smaller concentration camps on those 
ruins, surrounded by Israel’s “yellow line”.

It is Israel that has starved the people of Gaza for months on end by 
blocking all aid.

It is Israel that’s killed at least 600 aid workers, 1,700 medical staff 
and 250 journalists in Gaza over the past two years.

It is Israel that has eradicated all Gaza’s hospitals and health care 
facilities, leaving its maimed and starved population vulnerable to 
infection and disease.

And it is Israel now expelling aid organisations vital to keep this 
homeless, bombed, maimed, starved, orphaned, traumatised population alive.

Criminals don’t get to set the “rules” – because the rules they set 
will, by definition, serve their criminal agenda.

Israel has not hidden that agenda. It wants to eradicate Gaza and its 
population. It has destroyed the people of Gaza’s homes and the 
infrastructure they need to survive – from hospitals and schools to 
sanitation services. It has blocked aid and food, and is now driving out 
the emergency aid organisations that served as a sticking plaster to 
keep this population just barely alive.

Israel’s goal is to make life so desperate, so impossible, that the rest 
of the world will consent to the expulsion of the Palestinian people 
from Gaza on “humanitarian” grounds.

The New York Times, like the rest of the media, are using language to 
persuade you that none of this is happening.

Before the crimes were justified as a “war” – one to eradicate Hamas.

Now, during a supposed ceasefire in which Israel keeps killing 
Palestinians, it is a new, different way of ordering affairs in Gaza, 
again supposedly needed to root out Hamas. The aid organisations are 
apparently the ones causing difficulties by “resisting”, by flouting the 
“rules”.

This is the language of genocide laundering, of genocide denial. It has 
a long and ugly history.

The Nazis and their media termed the rounding up of Jewish populations 
from the ghettoes they had been forced into as “evacuations”. Those sent 
to death camps were “resettled”. And the gas chambers were where 
“detainees” received “special treatment”.

This terminology of good administration – of rules, of order, of 
suspensions, of resettlement – is needed to numb us to the barbarous 
reality of the horrors unfolding minute by minute in Gaza. To echo this 
anaesthetising language, as the New York Times does time and again, is 
more than just a crime against journalism. It is a crime against our 
common humanity.

Without the assistance of media like the New York Times, the genocide 
would have been simply impossible.
