Caitline Johnstone on Israel's targeting of hospitals in Gaza

Why would Israel want to destroy Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure?  The answer to that question has been clear for months: to make the land uninhabitable for the Palestinians.  The same reason they’re deliberately starving Gazans, destroying their homes, continually moving them from place to place and bombing every “safe zone” they create. 

This is naturally giving rise to a situation in which the inhabitants of Gaza will either die or flee to some other country — which just so happens to be exactly what Israel wants them to do. 

It’s so obvious what’s happening here.  Painfully obvious.  Poke-you-in-the-eyeballs obvious.  But we’re still subjected to a western political-media class who keeps forcefully telling us that this blatant ethnic cleansing campaign is not what it looks like.  Telling us that all this starvation and destruction and elimination of healthcare services and the way it directly places pressure on the Palestinians to leave their homeland is just a series of coincidences arising from Israel’s “war” of “defense,”  That only by pure happenstance does it look exactly the same as the advancement of an agenda that Israelis have sought to advance for generations. 

Well I personally am through with having my intelligence insulted, and I hope you are too.  The sky is blue, a spade’s a spade, the emperor has no clothes, and Israel is conducting a very obvious ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.
