Nournews: Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks, in which he proudly spoke of “dropping 153 tons of bombs” on the people of Gaza, are in fact an explicit statement of strategy, not merely a personal comment. That figure not only indicates the scale of destruction but also signals a deliberate targeting of Gaza’s vital infrastructure. He spoke of this bombardment at the same time his regime was closing aid crossings and preventing the entry of medicine and food. This combination — “bombing from the sky and starvation from the ground” — shows that Israel is pursuing genocide on two levels: physical destruction and human siege.
In such circumstances, Western calls for a ceasefire and Trump’s claim of an “end to genocide” mean nothing more than an attempt to deceive public opinion. Western countries talk about peace while failing to use their instruments of pressure against the perpetrators. This contradiction exposes the dual nature of the United States’ and Europe’s approach: a declared defense of human rights alongside military and political support for the Zionist regime.
Promoting hatred and ISIS-like patterns in Israeli behavior
Following these shocking statements, Miri Regev, Israel’s communications minister, suggested burning the body of Yahya Sinwar, the former leader of Hamas, saying: “Some Palestinian myths should not be returned; just as the Americans burned Bin Laden’s body.” This remark is not merely an expression of personal hatred but a sign that in Israel, inhumane behavior is becoming official political discourse.
When a cabinet minister utters such words, it indicates that the line between a formal government and a terrorist group has been erased. The symbolic act of burning corpses is the very method ISIS used in Syria and Iraq to display brutality, instill fear, and force submission. Now Israel is following that path with Western backing, portraying itself as a “state ISIS.”
Strategically, such statements pursue a psychological aim: to engender mutual hatred and expand the cycle of violence in a way that forever eliminates the possibility of dialogue and compromise. On the international level, these positions mark the moral collapse of the Israeli regime in the conscience of the world.
The deceptive ceasefire and the West’s responsibility for the continued crimes
Claims of a “sustainable ceasefire” by Trump and some European leaders came while the situation on the ground told a different story. Even during days that superficially appeared to be ceasefire periods, field reports documented sporadic bombings and attacks on residential areas. The West’s purpose in proposing such ceasefires is not to end the war but to reduce global public pressure on Israel.
At the same time, Western efforts to lift sanctions and arms restrictions on Tel Aviv, while pressuring Gaza’s resistance to disarm, amount to a form of legitimizing the crimes of the Israeli regime. By “swapping words,” they try to invert reality: label resistance as “terrorism” and cast Israel as the “victim.”
But field evidence and the words of Israeli leaders themselves show that extremism and violence are not emergency reactions but a sustained policy of Tel Aviv. Western silence has effectively allowed this regime, buoyed by a “false sense of confidence,” to continue the killings and even celebrate its crimes as symbols of power.
Global responsibility and the need for a coordinated response
ISIS-like behavior and the open admissions by Netanyahu and his ministers remind us that we are facing a regime beyond reform. The past two years have shown that each recurrence of global silence has broadened the scope of crimes in Gaza and the West Bank. Torture of prisoners, theft of the organs of the martyrs, and the dispatch of spoiled aid labeled as “humanitarian assistance” are examples of this moral collapse.
Faced with such circumstances, the only recourse is a coordinated global response. International institutions must use legal mechanisms to prosecute these crimes, and Islamic and regional countries must, through unity and mobilizing public opinion, make the banner of support for Palestine a symbol of global justice.
Strategically, the world must accept that the Zionist regime, like terrorist groups, threatens global security. Any accommodation or appeasement of it amounts to accepting the spread of state terrorism in the Middle East. Only through a decisive, coordinated, and sustained response can the region be guided toward lasting peace and security — a peace founded on justice and an end to occupation, not on the ruins of humanity.
