The streets of Gaza City echo with the sounds of collapsing buildings, screaming civilians, and the relentless roar of Israeli warplanes. As the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) push deeper into the urban stronghold, Defense Minister Israel Katz declares, “We will not relent until the mission is complete.” But what exactly is the mission? The official narrative claims it’s about dismantling Hamas—an act of self defense from October 7th – yet the reality unfolding is one of colonial expansion, ethnic cleansing, and a deliberate starvation campaign against Palestinians.
Key points:
When Israel Katz declared that Gaza is “burning” and that the IDF will not stop until its “mission is complete,” he wasn’t speaking in military terms. He was speaking in the language of colonial conquest. The mission isn’t to dismantle Hamas—if it were, this war would have ended months ago, when Israel had already decimated the group’s leadership and infrastructure. The mission isn’t security—if it were, Netanyahu wouldn’t be ignoring the pleas of hostage families, whose loved ones are now more likely to die in an IDF airstrike than in Hamas captivity. No, the mission is the land. And the people on it? They are the obstacle.
This is not speculation. It is the explicit ideology of Israel’s ruling coalition. Bezalel Smotrich, the finance minister, has called for the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians—a euphemism for ethnic cleansing. Itamar Ben-Gvir, the national security minister, has openly advocated for the reoccupation of Gaza. And Netanyahu? He has spent his career ensuring that no Palestinian state will ever exist, that no right of return will ever be honored, that no justice will ever be served. The ground offensive into Gaza City is the final phase of a plan decades in the making: the complete erasure of Palestinian presence from the land Israel claims as its own.
But here’s the problem: the IDF is breaking. Not just in morale—in obedience. Three hundred fifty reservists have signed a public refusal to participate in the Gaza City operation, calling it “blatantly illegal” and a “death trap” for both soldiers and hostages. Ron Feiner, a reservist with the group Soldiers for the Hostages, didn’t mince words: “This is a political, cynical, and dangerous step intended to serve an extreme minority, not the security of Israeli citizens.” Another reservist, Dor Menachem, put it even more bluntly: “This government has no interest in Israel’s security, only in undermining it.”
These are not the words of traitors. These are the words of men who have been pushed to the edge of a moral abyss and refused to jump. They are the canaries in the coal mine, and their warnings should terrify anyone who still believes in the myth of Israel’s “most moral army.” Because if the soldiers themselves are saying enough—if they are risking prison, dishonor, and the wrath of their own government to stop this madness—then what does that say about Israel’s actual mission? Perhaps the Nation of Israel is being disgraced, cursed by the current Zionist leadership and their colonial ambitions.
