Genocide by Design: Israel’s Expansion in Gaza and the Settler Logic of Waste

Imperial accumulation through destruction, tested on Gaza, exported to the world.

They are not trying to control Gaza. They are trying to erase it.

What we are witnessing is not war—it is settler colonial extermination, executed with surgical precision and imperial cover. Every Israeli bulldozer that flattens a refugee camp, every sniper perched atop a bombed-out hospital, every starvation blockade imposed on a civilian population, is a thread in a coherent strategy: the construction of a Greater Israel through the total erasure of Palestine.

According to Reuters, Israeli forces have continued advancing deep into central Gaza, “taking more ground” and building permanent military infrastructure. They are not leaving. This is not a temporary operation. It is a land grab in real time.

Gaza is not just occupied—it is being absorbed. Piece by piece. Ruin by ruin.

And yet, while the Western press wrings its hands about “humanitarian concerns,” it dares not say the word: genocide. But we will. This is a systematic campaign of mass death, displacement, and destruction aimed at making Palestinian life unviable. It is not incidental. It is foundational to the Zionist project. There can be no Jewish settler state without Palestinian absence.

This is not new. But it is accelerating. And it is being aided and abetted by the U.S. imperial recalibration across West Asia. As Washington shifts focus toward its Cold War with China and attempts to contain multipolarity, it is relying more than ever on regional proxies to police key geostrategic corridors. Israel is the principal enforcer of this order in the Eastern Mediterranean—and Gaza is the message.

Gaza is not just a densely populated strip of land—it is a resistance node, a demographic and political blockade to the completion of Zionist spatial continuity. And for U.S. planners, it is also a potential chokepoint in the imperial logistics grid, adjacent to Egyptian shipping lanes, gas reserves, and undersea cable routes. The U.S. does not simply “support” Israel. It funds it, arms it, shields it diplomatically, and integrates it into the architecture of global domination.

But beneath the rubble lies a deeper logic—what we at Weaponized Information analyzed in our article on accumulation through waste and destruction. The destruction of Gaza is not just disciplinary. It is profitable. Surveillance contracts, drone technologies, AI battlefield simulations, and weapons systems are tested and exported after each Israeli operation. Gaza becomes a lab. Its people, test subjects.

The logic is the same as that seen in the post-Iraq era: ruin as a resource, obliteration as a business model. Israel destroys, then rebuilds selectively, then militarizes, then repeats. It clears land, expels life, installs fences, extracts value, and sells the data. This is not war—it is a circular economy of annihilation.

And make no mistake: this model is now global. It is being exported to U.S. police departments, EU border agencies, and tech corporations alike. Gaza is not just a killing field. It is the future—if we do not stop it.

To call for peace now is not enough. We must call for liberation.

Not a ceasefire. A cease to Zionism.
Not humanitarian aid. Decolonization.
Not sympathy for victims. Solidarity with resistance.

Because if Gaza falls silently, the rest of us fall with it.

This is not a Redline. This is a bloodline.
And it has been crossed.
