<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">What
excuses has Israel given for renewing the
genocide:</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><strong>1.
Israel says it is trying to force Hamas to
release the captives in Gaza.</strong></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Yet,
as we know from those already released, the
indiscriminate bombing of Gaza only increases the
chances the captives will be killed. There is no
plausible scenario in which dropping US-supplied
2,000lb bombs across Gaza makes any Israeli held
in Gaza safer or brings them home sooner. </p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">In
any case, there was a known and easy way for
Israel to get the last of the captives back. They
were due to be freed in the second phase of the
ceasefire agreement, already well past its
implementation date. But weeks ago Israel decided
to tear up the agreement it had signed and impose
new terms in which the rest of the captives would
have to be returned – and without Israel either
ceasing its fire or withdrawing from the enclave,
as it had agreed to do. </p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">What
Israel’s return to genocide shows is that the
Israeli government would rather kill the remaining
captives – vaporising them with Trump’s latest
shipment of 2,000lb bombs – than either make a
concession to secure their release or place any
limitation on its ability to slaughter the people
of Gaza.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><strong>2.
Israel claims Hamas was re-arming and planning a
new attack.</strong></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">As
ever Israel is inverting the truth. It was Israel
that was re-armed by the Trump administration with
the bombs now tearing apart Gaza's children. Hamas
– isolated from the outside world – had no obvious
route to re-arming.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">And
as for plans for another October 7, both Hamas and
the world were shocked its fighters managed to
break out of the tiny, besieged territory of Gaza
the first time. Hamas assumed it would be a
suicide mission. It succeeded only because Israel
had grown so complacent in its 17-year siege of
the enclave, it imagined the 2.3 million people
there were permanently entombed. </p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Israel’s
assumption was the Palestinians would never manage
to find a way out of the giant concentration camp
Israel had built for them. Israel will not likely
drop its guard again any time soon.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">In
other words, Israel is flat out lying about its
reasons for renewing the slaughter. It is lying as
it has done over and over again, throughout the
past 18 months.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Israel
always intended to reboot the genocide as soon as
the Trump administration had been able to take
credit for negotiating the ceasefire. Then they
could work together to concoct a new set of
pretexts – based on lies about who was violating
the ceasefire – to justify why more of Gaza's
children needed to be murdered.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Certainly,
Joe Biden and his officials must be put on trial
in the Hague for the first 15 months of the
genocide. But it is Trump and his administration
that are responsible for every Palestinian death
from here on out.</p>
