A second Nakba is unfolding, not in secret, not whispered through trembling lips, not passed as rumours between fleeing survivors, but in the full, merciless light of day. It is live-streamed. Captioned. Digitised. A genocide unfolding in high definition and real time. This is no echo of 1948. It is its evolution. Its mutation. The same machinery of erasure, now upgraded, modernised, militarised, and globally broadcast. More ruthless. More unapologetic.

The United States under President Donald Trump is a five-alarm fire. Fascism is ascendant. Education, art, culture, science, social welfare, humanitarian and healthcare systems are being dismantled. An entire national infrastructure nurtured for 250 years is dissolving before our eyes. No one appears capable of stopping it. Resistance, such as it is, seems futile. Democratic leaders like Senator Chuck Schumer are rolling over and playing dead in the face of Trump’s legislative agenda.

Western leaders and media are helping bolster a propaganda narrative about the hostages that makes the resumption of Israel’s slaughter all but inevitableIsrael sustained the West’s support for its slaughter in Gaza for 15 months only through an intensive campaign of lies. It invented particularly heinous Hamas war crimes, such baby beheadings and mass rape, for which no evidence has ever been produced.

An Israeli minister has said that removing Palestinians from Gaza would rely on force rather than so-called "voluntary migration". Likud Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi called the scheme a “deportation plan” in an online post on Tuesday, attacking attorney general Gali Baharav-Miara for allegedly demanding a legal review of the plan.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intention from day one of his "revenge" attack on Gaza, launched 16 months ago, was either ethnic cleansing or genocide in Gaza. His ally in genocide for the next 15 months was former US President Joe Biden. His ally in ethnic cleansing is current US President Donald Trump. Biden provided the 2,000lb bombs for the genocide.
