A-Infos (en) France, UCL AL #364 - Spotlight - Israeli Offensive: The Genocidal Colonial Plans (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Since August 20, Israel has launched an offensive to regain control and 
occupy the Gaza Strip, despite a 60-day truce agreement accepted by 
Hamas. This offensive pursues the dream of the Zionist far-right, openly 
echoed by Trump: to expel the residents of Gaza and reinstate settlers. 
Some 320,000 people have fled northern Gaza in recent weeks; 650,000 
people remain in Gaza City, which Israel has decided to reoccupy. This 
operation could prove to be a trap for the IDF. While the Palestinian 
resistance has been weakened, the occupier continues to fail to destroy 
it. As Israel has acknowledged, Hamas has rebuilt its forces in several 
areas where the Zionist state thought it had eliminated it.

Several attacks have taken place since the spring, most recently a major 
offensive on August 20 against an Israeli base. The reoccupation of Gaza 
could well set in motion a spiral conducive to guerrilla strategies and 
operations through the piles of ruins, alleys, and tunnels, systematic 
traps for popular resistance in so-called "asymmetric" wars[1].

A deadly business plan
The weight this asymmetry has assumed is no accident. Israel has never 
succeeded in destroying the resistance of the Palestinian people: it is 
through division and the recruitment of proxies, by exploiting poverty 
and hunger, that Israel now hopes to achieve this. The army and the Shin 
Bet pay, arm, and protect militias of mercenaries, drug traffickers, 
fugitives, sex offenders, and even former members of the Islamic State. 
These militias carry out the dirty work of the occupation: kidnappings, 
targeted assassinations, looting of humanitarian aid, and intelligence 
gathering in exchange for money, territorial control, and even land 
permits for collaborators.

The leadership's desire to destroy the resistance through mass death and 
genocidal acts is avowed. On September 17, the Haaretz newspaper 
revealed that Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of Settlements, declared at the 
Israeli real estate professionals' conference that "the Gaza Strip will 
become a real estate bonanza[...]we have spent a lot on this war, so we 
must decide how the profits will be distributed[...]I'm not joking: a 
business plan drawn up by our most competent experts has been placed on 
President Trump's desk"[2].

As proof, one should never take the fascists' statements as mere 
bluster, Trump's "Riviera" plan is seriously considered. Once the 
conquest is complete, delegating the remaining Bantustans to mafia 
proxies or notables is a classic colonial strategy. Therefore, the 
belated recognition by France and the United Kingdom on September 22 of 
a Palestine that has perished due to their complicity and that of our 
media borders on shameful.

On the ground, the Palestinian resistance is fighting inch by inch 
against these plans of extermination and colonization. Revolutionaries 
around the world must support this relentless struggle of a people for 
survival and liberation! In the face of colonial barbarity, Palestine 
will free itself from its chains.
