This is a guest post by Abdullah Noorudeen from Coolness of Hind.
Since our last article iterating the numerous hoaxes and fabrications propagated through Israeli officials, mainstream media, and pro-Israel activists, a further 6,207 Palestinians have been slaughtered by the Zionist death cult, raising the total count to 10,000.
Of this total, over 4,000 (40%) are children.
To put things into perspective, between 24 February 2022 and 10 September 2023, the Ukrainian civilian death toll sits at 9,060, of which 554 are children.
This is a mass slaughter. And it is deliberate.
In this piece, we outline and discuss the Zionist entity’s twisted rationale for flattening Gaza, along with its genocidal intent as explicated by Israelis.
The Zionist Entity’s Justification for Mass-Murdering Civilians
During World War II, Dresden suffered a catastrophic air raid in February 1945. The bombing, primarily by British and American forces, created a devastating firestorm that consumed the city. The death toll is estimated to be between 22,700 and 25,000, with the majority being civilians.
Five months later, the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. In Hiroshima, the immediate death toll was around 140,000, and thousands more suffered from radiation-related illnesses. Generations after, survivors and their descendants still bear physical and psychological scars.
The attacks were rationalised alongside a pervasive dehumanisation of the enemy. All Germans were brutal and savage, and the Japanese were “dirty animals” and “monkeys”, making them all a target. As Colonel Harry F Cunningham, an intelligence officer of the US Fifth Air Force, said:
“There are no civilians in Japan.”
Both attacks were morally unjustifiable. They purposefully targeted and terrorised mass civilian populations into submission.
In Islam, there is a general prohibition of the use of a weapon of mass destruction, such as a nuclear bomb, due to the indiscriminate target of non-combatants.
However, Western secularists have struggled to contend with their own moral monstrosity. Those who directed the incineration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki questioned the morality of such actions. In 2015, the UK ambassador to Germany visited Dresden and declared the indiscriminate bombing “terrible” and “horrific”. There was no attempt at proffering a moral justification.
Assessing the morality of attacks like Dresden, Hamburg, and Hiroshima and Nagasaki, contemporary humanist philosopher A. C. Grayling concluded the following:[1]
Was area bombing necessary? No.
Was it proportionate? No.
Was it against the humanitarian principles that people have been striving to enunciate as a way of controlling and limiting war? Yes.
Was it against general moral standards of the kind recognised and agreed in Western civilisation in the last five centuries, or even 2,000 years? Yes.
Was it against what mature national laws provide in the way of outlawing murder, bodily harm, and destruction of property? Yes.
In short and in sum: was area bombing wrong? Yes.
Very wrong? Yes.
But perhaps the most robust evidence that Western countries wished to bury their historic barbarity is their ratification of the 1949 Geneva Convention and the 1977 First Protocol, which seek to protect civilians against indiscriminate bombardment.
Despite the appalling morality of Dresden and Hiroshima, the terrorist state of Israel and its mouthpieces have consistently invoked these barbaric attacks to guilt-trip Western audiences and cloak the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
According to the New York Times,
“It became evident to U.S. officials that Israeli leaders believed mass civilian casualties were an acceptable price in the military campaign… Israeli officials referred to how the United States and other allied powers resorted to devastating bombings in Germany and Japan during World War II — including the dropping of the two atomic warheads in Hiroshima and Nagasaki — to try to defeat those countries.”
As we quote below, Israeli ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovley and other officials have similarly referred to Dresden and Hiroshima in justifying the murdering of civilians.
However, by invoking these examples, the Zionist entity’s genocidal intent to terrorise the population and force the expulsion of the Palestinian territories is made clear.

Ethnic Cleansing
The indiscriminate bombardment has a purpose other than to terrorise the Palestinians and deter future resistance. It is to displace, if not entirely exterminate, the Palestinians.
A leaked document from Israel’s Intelligence Ministry proposes a permanent mass population expulsion of Palestinians to the Sinai. The document states that such an action would instil “a sense of failure among the population” that would “help create an improved security situation for many years and deter the population.” The ministry is headed by Gila Gamliel, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party. Other Likud activists and MKs, such as Ariel Kallner, have supported this plan.
Financial incentives have also been used to facilitate the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Israel is mounting pressure on an economically-crisis-ridden Egypt to accept refugees and is even offering to pay off Egypt’s debts. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has requested Congress to approve funding for the effective support of a permanent displacement of Palestinians in “neighbouring countries” such as Syria, Egypt, and Jordan.
Furthermore, the Zionist entity’s brutal assault on Gaza is exacerbating the permanent displacement of Palestinians in at least two significant ways. The first is the creation of a humanitarian catastrophe. The extreme daily blood-letting is placing humanitarian pressure on Egypt to open its borders. On a strip of land that is already the most densely populated on the planet, the Zionist entity has forced one million Palestinians to “evacuate” to the “safe zone” in the south, a move which coincides with the Intelligence Ministry’s report. However, in pursuit of terrorising and instilling “failure” in the population, the Zionist entity has repeatedly bombed safe passages and sites in south Gaza (see here, here, and here), including the entrance of the Al-Shifa hospital. All this desperation is intensified by the Zionist entity’s bombing of bakeries, compounding the already existent scarcity of fuel and water.
Secondly, even if there were a cessation of the Zionist atrocities, the Palestinians would have nowhere to go back to since the Zionists have completely destroyed north Gaza and its infrastructure.

Genocide
Amidst the discussions on Dresden and nukes and the actions that equate to a mass slaughter of Palestinians, there remains little doubt that what is unfolding on television and mobile screens amounts to nothing short of genocide. The critical element required to establish genocide is intent. In this context, the words of former UN official Craig Mokhiber, who resigned in response to the UN’s inaction regarding Gaza, hold significant relevance:
“The hardest part of proving genocide has been proven for us with these very open statements of genocidal intent by Israeli officials, including the prime minister and the president and senior Cabinet ministers and military officials, who in their public statements have indicated very clearly their intention not to distinguish between civilians and combatants, and to carry out the kinds of wholesale slaughter that we are witnessing in Gaza.”
We have compiled the deplorable statements emerging from Zionist officials to highlight their unmistakable genocidal intent. These statements expose the catastrophically violent evil that lurks beneath the Zionist state’s perpetual victimhood mask.
We hope this clarity of intent serves as a reminder in the future that,
- through their support of the deranged Zionist state, Western countries have lost any semblance of morality they profess to have when indoctrinating Muslims domestically and democracy-bombing Muslims abroad;
- despite the clear signs, Muslim politicians in the UK and US unforgivably delayed or remained silent, and failed to, at the very least, call for a ceasefire and an arms embargo;
- the treachery of Mohammed Bin Salman and Mohammed Bin Zayed and the Arab world leaders through “normalisation” deals enabled this rhetoric and butchery;
- all of the above are complicit in the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the precariously vulnerable state of Masjid Al-Aqsa.
We encourage readers to paste these statements every time politicians the West, neoconservatives, pro-Israel activists, and Israeli officials cry “self-defence”.

The Plan of Allāh
Before we outline these statements, we want to remind the believers that as heart-wrenching as it is to witness the psychotic Zionist cruelty against the Palestinians, we must know that the Palestinians are successful Allāh-willing. As the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Wondrous is the affair of the believer, for there is good for him in every matter, and this is not the case with anyone except the believer. If he is happy, he thanks Allāh, and thus there is good for him, and if he is harmed, he shows patience, and thus there is good for him.” (Sahih Muslim)
Moreover, we must maintain our consciousness of Allāh and His Divine plan. Just as Pharoah nurtured his destruction in his own house through the Prophet Musa (upon him peace), Allāh is fully cognisant of the tyranny of the oppressors. Despite the global plans, wealth, and sheer brutality, they are encompassed by His Plan.
“And those before them did devise plans, but Allāh has the ultimate plan. He knows what every soul earns. And the disbelievers will soon know for whom is the ultimate abode.” (Al-Qurʾān, 4:104)
May Allāh make us instruments of relief for the Palestinians and protection of Al-Aqsa. Āmīn.

Statements Supporting Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing
Below is a collection of statements uttered by various Zionist officials.
Zionist Entity Officials
“With shared forces, with deep faith in the justice of our cause and in the eternity of Israel, we will realize the prophecy of Isaiah 60:18.”
The citation refers to the violent, destructive establishment of Israel and Temple Mount where “nations kingdoms that do not serve Jerusalem will be destroyed and perish” (Isaiah 60:18).
“They are committed to completely eliminating this evil from the world. You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.”
This statement is an incitement to genocide as per 1 Samuel 15:3:
“Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”
Far-right Zionists view Palestinians as Amaleks. Baruch Goldstein, the Jewish mass murderer, was inspired by these verses to kill Palestinians praying at a mosque in Hebron in 1994. More details can be found here and here.
“We will turn Gaza into a deserted island. To the citizens of Gaza, I say. You must leave now. We will target each and every corner of the strip.”
Israeli President Isaac Herzog:
“Unequivocally, its an entire nation out there that is responsible. This rhetoric about civilians is not true. Its not true they were not aware, not involved… we will fight and it will break the backbone.”
“Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents. There will be no buildings.”
“At the end of this war, not only will Hamas no longer be in Gaza, but the territory of Gaza will also decrease.”
Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant:
“We are imposing a complete siege on [Gaza]. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel – everything is closed.”
[…]
“We are fighting human animals, and we act accordingly.”
Likud Member of the Israeli Knesset Revital’ Tally’ Gotliv:
“Jericho Missile! [i.e., nuclear bomb] Jericho Missile! Strategic alert. before considering the introduction of forces. Doomsday weapon! This is my opinion. May God preserve all our strength.”
“Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country’s dignity, strength and security! It’s time to kiss doomsday. Shooting powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighbourhood. Crushing and flattening Gaza. … without mercy! without mercy!”
Likud MP, Galit Distel Atbaryan (see also, here):
“Hate on the enemy. Hate on the monsters. Every bucket of internal conflict is a horribly crazy and stupid waste of energy. Invest that energy in one thing: erasing all of Gaza from the face of the earth. That the brave monsters will fly to the southern fence and enter Egyptian territory. Or let them die. And his name is evil. Gaza needs to be wiped out. And fire and smoke on the heads of the the nazis in Judea and Samaria [West Bank]… Revengeful and vicious IDF is required here. Anything less than that is immoral.”
“The only thing that needs to enter Gaza are hundreds of tons of explosives from the Air Force, not an ounce of humanitarian aid.”
Israeli Minister of Heritage Amichai Eliyahu (see also here):
“North Gaza is more beautiful than ever. Blowing up everything is amazing. When finished, we will hand over the lands of Gaza to to soldiers & settlers who lived in Gush Katif [former Jewish settlements in the south of Gaza].”
During an interview with Kol Barama radio, he was asked if using an atom bomb on all of Gaza should be considered. His response was:
“This is one of the possibilities.”
He has previously referred to Palestinians as flies who must be killed, including children:
“We are a people who will not harm a fly, but if the fly bothers him – the fly must be killed. Even at the cost of harming his children if he hides behind them.”
He also called for the West Bank to be annexed.
Israeli politician and Likud member, Ariel Kallner (see also, here):
“Right now, one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 48. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to anyone who dares to join! their Nakba, because like then in 1948, the alternative is clear.”
Moshe Feiglin, Israeli politician and former Knesset member:
“There is one and only one solution, which is to completely destroy Gaza, before invading it. And when I talk about destruction, I mean destruction like it was Dresden and Hiroshima, without a nuclear weapon… Now they have very high number of deaths… but if you do to them like what was done in Dresden, like the British did, and if you burned everything, and if you threw bombs that penetrate defensive structures, to penetrate Al-Shifa hospital, and destroy the ground beneath it without any consequences [clip ends].”
Ram Ben Barak, Israeli Knesset member and former deputy director of Mossad:
“If all the people of Gaza are already refugees, let us distribute them all over the world.”
Adviser to Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, Tzipi Navon, as reported:
“Navon posted incendiary remarks on Facebook saying it was not enough to ‘flatten Gaza’. ‘It won’t calm the storm of emotions, it won’t dull the intensity of the rage and pain that can’t find an outlet for them,’ Navon wrote. Instead, she said the culprits should be captured and tortured ‘one-by-one’ by pulling out their nails and skinning them alive. Further detailing the type of torture she said they should endure, Navon said that male genitals should be cut off, fried and fed to the captured. ‘Save their tongues for last, so we can enjoy his screams, his ears so he can hear his own screams, and his eyes so he can see us smiling,’ she said.”
Netanyahu’s digital aide, Hananya Naftali, posted an image of dead Palestinian children with the message:
“The world should thank us for destroying these little time bombs. In fact, we are preventing similar events from happening to other nations in the coming years.”
Tzipi Hotovely justifying the killing of civilians:
“There were many, many civilians [that] got attacked from your attacks on German cities. Dresden was a symbol, but you attacked Hamburg, you attacked other cities, and altogether it was over 600,000 civilian Germans that got killed.”
Comparing the Palestinians to the Nazis, she then said:
“Was it worth it in order to defeat Nazi Germany? And the answer was yes.”
Hotovely has previously expressed support for the annexation of the West Bank.
Former Israeli ambassador to the UN, Dan Gillerman:
“I am very puzzled at the constant concern which the world and also Britain is showing for the Palestinian people, and is actually showing for these horrible, inhuman animals who have done the worst atrocities that this century has seen.”
Dror Eydar, the former Israeli ambassador to Italy from 2019 to 2022:
“We in Israel, at least the population, are not interested in all this rational Palestinian talks. For us there is one purpose: to destroy Gaza, to destroy this absolute evil, to destroy this.”
Israel’s official account in the Arabic language displays all of the Palestinian Territories as Israel, including Syria’s occupied Golan Heights.

Military
IDF spokesperson R Adm Daniel Hagari commenting on the attack on Gaza:
“The emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy.”
Israeli general and Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Ghassan Alian:
“Hamas became ISIS, and citizens of Gaza are celebrating instead of being horrified. Human animals are treated accordingly. There will be no electricity and no water [in Gaza], there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell.”
Israel’s former chief military advocate general and the country’s former attorney general: to destroy Hamas,
“then you have to destroy Gaza, because everything in Gaza, almost every building there, is a stronghold of Hamas”.
Ezra Yachin, 95-year-old Israeli reservist. Yachin was a member of the Lehin or Stern Gang terrorist group, which engaged in terrorist attacks, including against the British to establish Jewish homeland. Lehin was responsible for the horrific Deir Yassin massacre, where its members killed at least 107 Palestinian Arab villagers, including women and children. He has been supporting the Zionist army by urging them with the following words:
“Be triumphant and finish them off and don’t leave anyone behind. Erase the memory of them. Erase them, their families, mothers, and children. These animals can no longer live… Every Jew with weapon should go out and kill them. If you have an Arab neighbour, don’t wait. Go to his home and shoot him. Attack them, and don’t wait for them… We want to invade, not like before, we want to enter and destroy what’s in front of us and destroy houses, then destroy the one after it. With all out forces, complete destruction, enter and destroy. Let them drop bombs on them and erase them. All the prophesies sent by the Prophets are about to occur.”
Hebron high school chaplain, Rabbi Amichai Fridman at an Israeli infantry training base:
“The land is ours. The whole country! All of it! Including Gaza! Including Lebanon! The whole promised land! We will return! Gush Katif [former Jewish settlements in south of Gaza] is small compared to what we will get to!”
“From the Jordan River to the Middle East, all of it is ours. It was promised to us. There’s no Palestinian nation. No one wants them. So why we? The only innocent people that are in Gaza now are the 229 hostages that were taken. Once they will go back to Israel, we will bomb Shifa Hospital, all the hospitals, all the tunnels, and kill them all… we are the centre of the world now.”
IDF soldier:
“I think the bombing is good. I think they should have a lot more bombing, the bombardment.”
Pop singer Narkis (see also, here) sings with Israeli occupation soldiers calling for an extermination and colonisation that will inspire other countries:
“We’re finishing off Gaza! We’ll return Gush Katif [former Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip]! We’re a light unto the nations!”

50 Israeli rabbis signed a religious advisory opinion demanding Netanyahu to bombard Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.
Israeli journalist, Zvi Yehezkeli:
“If the definition is to destroy Hamas, you have to destroy everyone connected to Hamas. The government, the commanders, military personnel, supporters, clans, and anyone who kicked out the Palestinian Authority in 2007 and established the Hamas government. Its hundreds of thousands.”
Former military officer of Unit 8200 turned researcher, Eliyahu Yossian (see here, here, and here):
“There are no innocents in Gaza, there are 2.5 million terrorists. After the first attack, we had to kill 50,000 Gazans.”
He repeated this statement in another interview, adding:
“You have to enter Gaza at the height of brutality, with the aim of revenge, zero morality, maximum corpses.”
90 Israeli doctors call for all hospitals in Gaza to be bombed:
“No more! The residents of Gaza, who saw fit to turn the hospitals into terrorist nests in an attempt to take advantage of Western morality, are the ones who brought their annihilation upon themselves — terrorism must be eliminated everywhere and in any way.”
Dr Mads Gilbert has challenged the narrative that hospitals are used as command centres by Hamas. Details can be found here.

Really good article. Jazakallahu khairan.
I’ve heard that Japanese were making weapons in their homes. Would helping in the fight in this way make one a legitimate target?
According to Islam or according to people?
Islam
How can anyone claim that. It’s not a provable claim? Did they find these weapons in ruins of homes like it’s ridiculous justification.
I’m Egyptian and i’d like to say that closing borders and the cross of Rafah is literally participating in genocide and displacement by sharing Zionists in imposing a complete siege on our Muslim brothers in Gaza.
If they really refuse displacement, they would support Gazians to resist in their land, by letting in water, food, electricity, … and stop this genocide!
But we know pro-Zionists are ruling
Assalamulikum when you brought up normalization how should we respond to bootlickers like shahid boslen who thinks normalization has some benefits and the Muslims countries are using. “Diplomacy” to influence some “change” in Israel and keeps parroting the “power of investment” how do we refute or respond to this???
hes calling for the incorporation of the palpatinian ppl for full rights n citizenship, he also said that only dual isroli and merican citizenship punks and bibi want this genocide while the rest of the people dont
Have we archived all of these tweets? Really important to show these punks, their own words in case they deleted it
Please publish an article shredding light on the possible solutions to this problem and how the Zionist entity can be defeated once and for all. In my opinion, the reestablishment of the Caliphate is the only possible solution. Any thoughts on that?
liberal secular democratic countries are doing this while they say Islam is oppressing and against humanity lol
these losers are now don’t have rights to lecture us
I thought you were Hindutva??
