Gaza: A Dress Rehearsal for Future Genocide

Strategic Insights -

The current genocide in Gaza, with 64,739 Palestinians killed and over 281,000 people experiencing food insecurity, serves as a dark portend for the future. Israel's actions, including the starving of inhabitants and armed forces funding, have sequestered two million people in an open-air apartheid prison. The international community's inaction is a worrying sign, and the use of Palantir's software to track and surveil Gaza residents raises concerns about the treatment of migrants. The author believes that the Gaza situation is a dress rehearsal for future events, including the potential influx of climate breakdown refugees.
