The Israeli bombing of the Baptist hospital in Gaza killing 500 hundred innocent Palestinians may have been a turning point in the war on Gaza. The Tuesday attack led instantly to mass protests throughout Palestine and the Middle East, and forced the Egyptian, Jordanian and Palestinian leaders to cancel a summit meeting the following day with US President Biden.
The tragic bombing of a hospital and a school in the same day under the pretext of ‘the right to self-defense’, has highlighted the humanitarian consequences of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza just, which mirror its long history of pursuing maximum security at the expense of Palestinian lives, through disproportionate and indiscriminate use of military force. Israel has tried muddy the waters as it did after the assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh, by blaming the Palestinians for the hospital bombing, but its spokespersons had already implicated it in the bombing.
It’s easy to get lost in the midst of mayhem, death and destruction and forget how and why we have arrived at such madness. Disenchanted old-timers, like the baffled newcomers, find it ever more challenging to make sense of the perpetual bloodshed and the endless recriminations, and wonder if there’s ever a solution to this protracted and tragic conflict after countless peace initiatives and innumerable ‘creative solutions’ failed to resolve the conflict.
That’s why it is paramount during these chaotic times to zero in on the main contradiction driving and inflaming the conflict namely; the clash between Israel ‘security’ and Palestinian justice. This primary contradiction has evolved over the years into a zero-sum conflict, as Israel pursued maximum security at the expense of minimum Palestinian justice.
