Two Israeli sources said they tried to rush Abu Shahab to hospital before he died.However, the life of the man in his mid-30s could not be saved.
Abu Shahab is the leader of an armed group in Gaza which is supported by Israel.His group is among the gangs backed by the Zionist State and is an enemy of Hamas in Gaza.
Israel also reportedly blocked weapons and funds for the Popular Forces.What is the reason?
Netanyahu had said that the Israeli government was using armed clans to fight Hamas.He is even proud of the group.
“What’s wrong with that? They saved the [Israeli] troops,” Netanyahu was quoted as saying
Al Jazeera.
The idea of using such troops, according to Netanyahu, was the result of suggestions from security officials, even after previous failed attempts at cooperating with local groups such as the South Lebanese Army.
Israeli political analyst Ahmad Najar said Netanyahu’s acknowledgement was not just arrogance, but confidence.He is well aware that Israel can violate international law, arm armed groups and starve civilians.
That’s what total impunity looks like, Najar said.This is also what pays to trust Israel’s public relations machine.
“In fact, this regime not only tolerates war crimes, they engineer them, fund them, and then use them as propaganda,” he said in an opinion piece released
Al Jazeera
.
“This is not simply a war on Palestinian bodies, homes or even survival. This is a war on the Palestinian dream – the dream of having a state, of building a dignified and sovereign future.”
Najar also said that for decades, Israel has systematically tried to prevent the formation of a cohesive Palestinian leadership.
In the 1980s, Israel quietly encouraged the rise of Hamas as a religious and social counterbalance to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
The idea is simple: divide Palestinian politics, weaken the national movement, and fragment any efforts to achieve statehood.
Israeli officials believe that supporting Islamist organizations in the occupied West Bank and Gaza will create internal conflict among Palestinians.
Tensions between Islamist and secular groups increased and resulted in clashes on campuses and in the political arena.
“Israel’s policy is not driven by misunderstanding. The policy is strategic. Israel knows that empowering the PLO’s competitors will divide Palestinian unity. The goal is not peace – but paralysis,” said Najar.
The same strategy continues today in Gaza and the West Bank.The Israeli government is actively undermining the PA’s ability to function.The Israeli government withholds tax revenues that make up the majority of the PA’s budget, pushing it to the brink of collapse.
Israel protects settler militias that attack Palestinian villages, launching daily military attacks on PA-administered towns, humiliating the troops and making them appear helpless.
“Israel is obstructing the PA’s international diplomatic efforts while flouting its legitimacy,” he said.
Furthermore, Najar said the reason Israel used this group was not just a tactical decision.He said Tel Aviv never wanted to protect Palestinian civilians.
They want to destroy everything related to the country, starve the people and make enemies of each other.
If chaos escalates, Israel will blame them for the suffering it causes.
“This strategy is nothing new. This is colonialism 101: create anarchy, then use it as proof that colonized peoples are incapable of governing themselves,” he said in an opinion released in
Al Jazeera.
In Gaza, Israel is not only trying to defeat Hamas.They seek to destroy a future where Palestinians can rule their own society.
Najar also mentioned Western media reports repeating unverified claims that Hamas was stealing aid.No evidence shown.The United Nations has repeatedly said there is no evidence.
“However, that is beside the point. The news serves the purposes that justify the blockade. The news makes starvation look like a security tactic. The news makes collective punishment look like policy,” he continued.
