This isn’t a warzone. It’s a laboratory. And Gaza isn’t under siege—it’s being made into the blueprint for global pacification through starvation, surveillance, and privatized apartheid.

Part I – Bureaucratized Genocide: How Liberal Journalism Sanitizes Starvation as Security
The article we’re excavating—published by The Independent on May 22, 2025—chronicles yet another horror unfolding in Gaza: 82 Palestinians killed overnight, hospitals bombed, babies dead in incubators, and food aid trapped behind bureaucratic barbed wire. And yet, the piece avoids the word “genocide.” It avoids the word “Zionism.” It avoids the truth.
Instead, what we get is a familiar genre of Anglo-liberal griefwork: descriptive horror without political context. The suffering is acknowledged, the logistics dissected, but the structure of domination is never named. Like a coroner describing wounds without naming the killer, the article gives us blood without bullets, statistics without ideology, death without responsibility.
This is the imperialist media apparatus doing what it does best: converting settler-colonial annihilation into a humanitarian crisis with no cause. Netanyahu’s open declaration that Gaza “will be under full Israeli control” is mentioned—but not interrogated. The systematic targeting of hospitals is reported—but framed as unfortunate “damage.” The starvation of 2.3 million people is documented—but treated as a logistical dilemma, not policy.
What’s entirely absent is any mention of Israel’s broader regional aggression. No mention of ongoing escalations in Syria and Lebanon. No mention of the settler-state’s ambition for a Greater Israel—a Zionist vision of territorial domination from the river to the sea, and northward through strategic corridors in the Levant. What the article presents as “security control” is, in fact, the logistical finalization of Gaza’s absorption—cleared by bombs, pacified by famine, and rebranded as humanitarian relief.
And who gets sanitized? Netanyahu. The IDF. The “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation”—a new apparatus of privatized pacification guarded by armed contractors, posing as a relief initiative. This is not aid. This is the NGO wing of settler apartheid, as we previously analyzed in No Mercy, No Mask. The press calls them “partners.” We call them collaborators.
So let’s be clear: this isn’t journalism. It’s a field report for empire—delivered in soft language, drained of history, and calibrated to anesthetize. Gaza is not a “crisis.” It is a crucible. A laboratory. And The Independent, like all house organs of the imperial core, is not reporting the news. It is managing perception. Its silence on the Greater Israel project, its failure to call this what it is—settler-colonial pacification—makes it a participant, not a witness.
Part II – Total Control, Zero Relief: Gaza as the Frontline of Settler-Colonial War Planning
Here’s what The Independent tells us: Netanyahu has declared that all of Gaza will be placed under permanent Israeli security control. Eighty-two Palestinians were killed in a single night of bombing. A newborn baby, women, and patients died in a collapsing hospital. Food trucks sit at border crossings. A few aid deliveries were allowed, but distribution remains impossible due to “looting” and “logistics.” Meanwhile, a new “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” is being deployed to oversee food relief—guarded by armed contractors.
But none of this is breakdown. It is design.
What’s being described is not a policy failure—it’s the strategic finalization of Gaza’s absorption into the Zionist settler-state. Netanyahu’s open declaration is not a warning. It’s a blueprint. Gaza is being transformed from an occupied enclave into a totalized kill zone—biometrically managed, digitally surveilled, and administratively starved. As we laid bare in Genocide by Design, Israel’s logic is not control—it’s erasure. Not rule—it’s ruin.
The blockade was never just a siege. It was the dry run for a new frontier in global counterinsurgency: governance through famine. And what we see now is that frontier maturing into a full-spectrum campaign of annihilation. Gaza’s infrastructure isn’t failing—it’s being obliterated to prevent any return. Hospitals are not overrun—they’re being targeted precisely because they are the last sanctuaries of life. And the aid trucks sitting at Kerem Shalom? Their paralysis is not an accident. It is a bureaucratized weapon.
This campaign is not confined to Gaza. Simultaneous Israeli strikes in Syria, Lebanon, and the West Bank make clear: this is the regional unfolding of the Greater Israel project—a plan to pacify, annex, or expel every threat to Jewish settler hegemony from the river to the sea and beyond. And Gaza, once again, is the testing ground. It is the model, the crucible, the beta test for how to pacify a densely populated resistance zone without expending political capital or risking direct occupation.
And let’s not overlook the role of Western empire. The United States arms it. The EU funds it. Britain launders it through NGOs and media. This is not Israeli aggression in isolation—it is hyper-imperial enforcement, integrated into the broader U.S.-NATO strategic doctrine of outsourcing violence to regional client regimes. The “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,” guarded by private contractors, is just the NGO version of AFRICOM: kill, clear, contract, rebrand.
Gaza is being remade—not just as a prison, but as a laboratory for 21st century empire: a zone where biometric checkpoints and famine policy replace tanks, where “relief corridors” are shaped like crosshairs, and where extermination is administered through spreadsheets, not just bullets. It’s not just that Palestinians are dying—it’s that empire is learning from it.
Part III – Gaza Is Not a Crisis Zone—It’s the Blueprint of Empire’s Endgame
Let’s dispense with illusions. What is happening in Gaza is not a security measure, not a counterterrorism operation, not a humanitarian disaster. It is the full expression of settler-colonial pacification under the aegis of empire. Gaza is not being governed—it’s being liquidated. Piece by piece. Child by child. Breadline by breadline. And now, Netanyahu is simply saying it out loud: this land will be under our control. Forever.
This is not new. This is Zionism realized—what Herzl and Jabotinsky envisioned, what Ben-Gurion set into motion, and what every U.S. president has signed off on since Truman. The logic of Greater Israel isn’t hidden. It’s in the rubble. It’s in the maps. It’s in the silences of every press conference and the redlines of every weapons deal. And Gaza—Gaza is the final obstacle. The last stand of a people refusing to disappear.
That’s why the humanitarian mask matters. Because this is not just conquest. It is conquest wrapped in the language of care. The “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” is not a relief initiative—it’s a sterilization mechanism. A decontamination zone for settler peace. It is technofascist stabilization in motion: where biometric aid lines replace resistance, and starvation becomes a form of social engineering. It’s not enough to kill Palestinians. The goal is to render them administratively obsolete.
And the world? It watches, debates, protests. But most of the world’s institutions—especially in the West—are complicit. Not because they are unaware, but because Gaza is useful. It is a containment model, a control experiment, a battlefield-tested marketing platform for future warfare. Every bomb dropped is a new contract. Every famine zone, a new logistical algorithm. As we argued in Genocide by Design, Gaza is where the empire refines the future—then exports it to the rest of humanity.
And still, they resist. Gaza resists. Not in speeches or in parliaments—but with presence. With breath. With bread. With burial. Gaza continues to exist, and in doing so, exposes the lie: that empire is efficient, that Zionism is sustainable, that settler-colonialism is destiny. Gaza is the crack in that myth. The place where the whole architecture of hyper-imperialism trembles, because it cannot extinguish what it cannot fully erase.
Part IV – Gaza Is the Frontline of the Future—Act Like It
We are past the point of silence. Past the point of appeals. Past the point of “both sides.” Gaza has made it clear: this is not a crisis to be managed. It is a genocide to be stopped. And every moment of hesitation, every word that fails to name the settler-colonial system for what it is, becomes part of the killing machine.
From the scorched wheat fields of Rafah to the rubble-strewn wards of Nasser Hospital, Palestinians have shown us what it means to resist—not as a slogan, but as a structure. While NGOs draft reports and Western liberals debate “proportionality,” the people of Gaza build kitchens under drones, bury their dead with dignity, and continue to breathe in a space engineered to erase them. That, comrades, is political clarity. And we must match it with ours.
We call on all those in the imperial core and Global South to recognize Gaza for what it is: not just a target, but a teacher. It shows us the contours of the system we are fighting—racial capitalism, digital warfare, logistical colonialism, and militarized aid. And it shows us what the terrain of struggle demands.
Here is what that looks like:
- Organize direct action at the logistics chokepoints of genocide: blockade weapons factories, arms ports, and the companies supplying Israeli drones, AI targeting software, and crowd control weapons.
- Expose the NGO frontlines of settler-colonial stabilization: research and publish the names, contracts, funders, and institutional collaborators of the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” and all aid agencies embedded in the occupation infrastructure.
- Build revolutionary media that names the crime: saturate the digital terrain with unflinching language—genocide, settler-colonialism, apartheid, Zionism. Refuse euphemisms. Weaponize truth.
- Link Gaza to your local struggle: show how border surveillance in Arizona uses Israeli tech, how NYPD training traces back to Tel Aviv, how hunger in Haiti and Sudan mimics Gaza’s siege blueprint. Globalize the contradiction. Globalize the fight.
- Join and escalate existing movements: BDS, Samidoun, Palestinian Youth Movement, student encampments, labor-based boycott campaigns. Move from protest to disruption. From resolution to refusal.
We say it without apology: Gaza is the world. And if you are not building resistance to empire where you stand, you are helping bury the children beneath the rubble. There is no neutrality. Not here. Not now.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
And when it is, it will not be because empires surrendered—it will be because the people organized to make it so.
