Did Israel Plan Disease in Gaza as the Next Phase of Genocide?
Untreated diseases will likely end up killing more Palestinians in Gaza than Israel's bombings, reports have said
Israel has indicated that the spread of preventable diseases in the bombed-out coastal city of Gaza would be the next genocidal step in its war effort against Hamas.
At least 15,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes since the start of the war campaign — about 40 percent children.
Giora Eiland, the former head of the Israeli National Security Council, spoke about how rampant disease could benefit the military campaign.
WSWS quoted him:
Who are the “poor” women of Gaza? They are all the mothers, sisters or wives of Hamas murderers…
The international community warns us of a humanitarian disaster in Gaza and of severe epidemics. We must not shy away from this, as difficult as that may be. After all, severe epidemics in the south of the Gaza Strip will bring victory closer and reduce casualties among IDF soldiers.
