Since March 18th, when Israel broke a two-month ceasefire by resuming bombardment of the enclave, at least 2,600 more Gazans have perished. Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu this week called up tens of thousands of Israeli reservists for an “intensive” escalation of the war. Israel’s use of collective punishment, including starvation, and its declared objective of the mass expulsion of Palestinians constitute war crimes. On February 25th, Trump posted an AI-generated video of “Trump Gaza” resort, complete with a gold statue of Trump. In a just world, Putin, Netanyahu and Trump, their enabler, would stand trial for war crimes and complicity in war crimes.
