#DeathWorld / How Israel and the US create a "death world" breaking not only Gaza but the foundations of humanitarian law
[...] "today, the death world we know is Gaza."
Gaza has become a place where the conditions are so systematically destructive and dehumanizing that its inhabitants exist in a state between life and death - where normal human existence has been made impossible through deliberate policy.
Israel's systematic destruction of Gaza over 88 weeks that has killed nearly 56,000 Palestinians, including over 15,000 children, while displacing 1.9 million people are crimes.
Hansen shows how US officials privately acknowledged Israeli war crimes while publicly defending them. State Department resignees describe how the Biden administration ignored clear evidence of deliberate aid blocking and civilian targeting, with one official stating that Biden administration officials "completely forfeit any right to critique the Trump administration for lack of morals" after laying the groundwork for lawlessness.
Both governments have deliberately shattered the post-WWII international legal order, creating what the author calls a "death world" in Gaza through systematic violations of humanitarian law.
