With the repeated scenes of destruction and death in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, the voices of activists and politicians have risen to confirm that the Israeli killing machine has not changed in decades, but rather has continued its approach based on targeting innocent children and women, and bombing homes and shelter centers.
As the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip continued at an increasing pace, targeting mainly children and women, these attacks sparked a widespread wave of anger among social media users, as activists likened what was happening in the Strip to the Deir Yassin massacre in 1948, when Zionist gangs committed one of the most heinous crimes against the Palestinians. .
The Deir Yassin massacre is one of the massacres carried out by the Israeli Irgun and Stern gangs, with the support of the Palmach and the Haganah, at the dawn of April 9, 1948, to displace the village’s population and spread terror in other villages and cities. Most of the victims of the massacre were civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, and it left – according to Palestinian sources – about 254 martyrs.
Historical sources tell us that the Irgun and Stern members were blowing up houses, killing anything that moved, and they pinned dozens of children, women, the elderly, and young people against the walls and opened fire on them.
Commenting on the continuation of the Israeli killing machine, Palestinian politician and academic Fayez Abu Shamala said that what is happening in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli occupation army is repeated and continuous terrorism since the Deir Yassin massacre in 1948 until 2024, in reference to the continued practice of terrorism by the Israeli forces, and that the machine Israeli killing has not changed with the times.

For her part, activist Balqis pointed out on the “X” platform that the tragedy and tragedies in Gaza did not begin on October 7, 2023, but rather it is an ongoing Palestinian scene since the Deir Yassin massacre in 1948, adding that the occupation does not differentiate between large and small, as it targets Everyone indiscriminately, citing the last crime he committed, which was the killing of the man known as “The Spirit of the Soul,” the witness to the massacre of his granddaughter, and then Kill him to hide the truth.

Meanwhile, activist Khaled Safi said that when children in Gaza sleep, they do not wake up. They sleep to the echo of shells and under a fragile roof out of fear, and this is often their last sleep. Their dreams are incomplete, and the sounds of their laughter are extinguished under the rubble, as if sleep has become a bridge between life and death for them.
Activist Tamer wrote on the “X” platform, “At a time when the children of the world go to sleep safely, then to the big school, or to celebrate the holidays, or to express and have fun with their families, in Gaza, the families are forced to put their children in death refrigerators, after they were killed.” Israel is in its war against humanity and the ethnic cleansing of the entire Gaza Strip.”

In turn, journalist and political writer Fayez Abu Shamala asks, “What kind of rulers are these who allowed the killers to deprive everything in Gaza? What is strange is that all of our peoples are eager to liberate Gaza, Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa, and Palestine. How did we reach this level of dullness?”
One of them also commented, saying, “For 444 days, humanity has been watching the Zionist holocaust against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Killing, destruction, displacement, and burning. So where is the world? Where are the free people of the world? Do not forget Gaza, because every second hundreds of children, women, and the elderly are killed.”

Some of them pointed out that it is not new for the occupation to target Palestinian children and women, as the occupation’s ideology of committing war crimes and genocide against humanity against the Palestinian people has continued since the Nakba in 1948.
Activists added that the Israeli occupation deliberately bombs homes and shelter centers with missiles and bombs with the aim of killing the largest possible number of children and women.
In the same context, the Ministry of Health in Gaza stated that the Israeli occupation has intensified its targeting of the health system in the northern Gaza Strip, through its siege and direct targeting of the Indonesian Hospital, Kamal Adwan Hospital, and Al-Awda Hospital during the past hours, and its insistence on putting them out of service.
The Ministry indicated that the Israeli bombing included all departments of Kamal Adwan Hospital and its surroundings around the clock, and shrapnel was scattered inside its courtyards, causing terrifying sounds and severe damage.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging, with American support, a genocidal war on Gaza that has resulted in more than 153,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing persons, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly, in one of the… The worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
