In a shocking revelation, Israeli columnist Gideon Levy has declared that the majority of Israelis have abandoned any sense of humanity towards the people of Gaza. Speaking from Tel Aviv, Levy described the current situation as a systematic establishment of a “concentration camp” in Gaza, a chilling echo of the Holocaust, which he notes is particularly outrageous given that the Israeli Defense Minister is a descendant of Holocaust survivors.
Levy’s remarks come amidst reports that Israeli troops are fortifying the so-called MOA corridor, effectively isolating Rafah from the rest of Gaza and facilitating mass displacement of Palestinians. He condemned the Israeli military’s plans for a so-called humanitarian city, asserting that it is merely a façade to justify the ongoing terrorization of Gaza’s population. “They don’t plan to make it normal life there,” he stated, emphasizing the grim reality for those trapped in the strip.
As the conflict escalates, Levy pointed out a disturbing trend: since the October 7 attacks, the Israeli public has largely lost interest in the plight of Gazans, viewing them solely through the lens of hostages. This callousness has stifled any meaningful debate about the morality of Israel’s actions and their long-term implications.
Furthermore, Levy warned that the current Israeli leadership appears to be taking cues from former President Donald Trump, who previously suggested the mass transfer of Palestinians from Gaza. He expressed concern that the U.S. may turn a blind eye to these developments, prioritizing political interests over humanitarian concerns.
As the situation continues to deteriorate, the world watches with bated breath. The urgent question remains: how far will this humanitarian crisis escalate before the international community intervenes?
