<p style="font-family:'-apple-system' , 'system-ui' , 'blinkmacsystemfont' , 'segoe ui' , 'roboto' , 'oxygen-sans' , 'ubuntu' , 'cantarell' , 'helvetica neue' , sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:400;margin:0;line-height:1.7;padding:0;color:#101517;margin-bottom:24px">It is a heart-rending document that can leave no one who reads it in doubt about the explicitly genocidal motive of the Israeli government in ordering indiscriminate bombing and the deliberate denial of food, water, energy and medical care and supplies to the Palestinian population with the explicit intention of making it impossible for Palestinians to sustain life in Gaza.</p>

<p style="font-family:'-apple-system' , 'system-ui' , 'blinkmacsystemfont' , 'segoe ui' , 'roboto' , 'oxygen-sans' , 'ubuntu' , 'cantarell' , 'helvetica neue' , sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:400;margin:0;line-height:1.7;padding:0;color:#101517;margin-bottom:24px">The terrible human toll of the Israeli assault on the population of Gaza in terms of death and injury from Israeli bombing is well known. What is not generally known to the U.S. public is evidence provided in the South African document that Israelis have deliberately chosen the most indiscriminate way of bombing possible.</p>
<p style="font-family:'-apple-system' , 'system-ui' , 'blinkmacsystemfont' , 'segoe ui' , 'roboto' , 'oxygen-sans' , 'ubuntu' , 'cantarell' , 'helvetica neue' , sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:400;margin:0;line-height:1.7;padding:0;color:#101517;margin-bottom:24px">Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas of the world, so indiscriminate weapons are far more lethal there than in normal situations. Yet despite the availability of precision guided weapons, as the South African document points out, Israel has been dropping completely unguided “dumb bombs” and 2,000 pound munitions that have a lethal radius of up to 360m and cause serious injuries for 800m in all directions. </p>
<p style="font-family:'-apple-system' , 'system-ui' , 'blinkmacsystemfont' , 'segoe ui' , 'roboto' , 'oxygen-sans' , 'ubuntu' , 'cantarell' , 'helvetica neue' , sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:400;margin:0;line-height:1.7;padding:0;color:#101517;margin-bottom:24px">Primary victims of the Israeli strategy, counting for 40 percent of the casualties, are children, with more than 115 Palestinian children in Gaza killed every day. The document cites a study by Save the Children showing that the 3,195 Palestinian children killed in the first three weeks in Gaza alone is more than total number of children killed each year since 2019 across all the world’s conflict zones.</p>
<p style="font-family:'-apple-system' , 'system-ui' , 'blinkmacsystemfont' , 'segoe ui' , 'roboto' , 'oxygen-sans' , 'ubuntu' , 'cantarell' , 'helvetica neue' , sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:400;margin:0;line-height:1.7;padding:0;color:#101517;margin-bottom:24px">And because of the close-knit character of Palestinian families and the prolonged war, the document reveals that this bombing strategy has taken a tragic toll on entire extended families, with mothers, fathers, children, siblings, grandparents, aunts and cousins frequently killed simultaneously with no remaining survivors. As many as 312 Palestinian families in Gaza lost over 10 members each in just the first month of the bombing alone.</p>
<p style="font-family:'-apple-system' , 'system-ui' , 'blinkmacsystemfont' , 'segoe ui' , 'roboto' , 'oxygen-sans' , 'ubuntu' , 'cantarell' , 'helvetica neue' , sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:400;margin:0;line-height:1.7;padding:0;color:#101517;margin-bottom:24px">The Israeli campaign has forced Palestinian families to choose between remaining in their homes and facing the very high risk of death or abandoning their homes without any idea where they can find safety. At the beginning of December, the Israelis published a map supposedly intended to advise Palestinians of areas from which they were had to move. </p>
<p style="font-family:'-apple-system' , 'system-ui' , 'blinkmacsystemfont' , 'segoe ui' , 'roboto' , 'oxygen-sans' , 'ubuntu' , 'cantarell' , 'helvetica neue' , sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:400;margin:0;line-height:1.7;padding:0;color:#101517;margin-bottom:24px">But as the U.N.’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) observed at the time, they provided no information about where they could move to be safe from the bombing. And given the Israeli cutoff of electricity in Gaza, few families had the means to even know they were about to be targeted. </p>
