Genocide in Gaza Continues Amid Media and Internet Blackout
Rabat – As the world fixates on the spectacle of Israeli-Iranian confrontation, the genocide in Gaza grinds on — starved, bombed, and erased — but with dramatically reduced media coverage.
Media outlets have largely shifted to the clashes between Israel and Iran, while Gaza suffers under an almost complete internet blackout that has now stretched over two days, severing communication with the outside world and shrouding Israel's genocide in darkness.
Although Israel has cut off communication multiple times throughout its genocidal campaign, the digital siege tightened further on Thursday, June 12, when Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) airstrikes targeted what remained of Gaza's telecommunications infrastructure. The Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority stated that Israel has deliberately and repeatedly targeted the sector, systematically isolating Gaza from the world and obstructing even emergency repairs.
As attention wanes, Palestinian poet and genocide survivor Mosab Abu Toha urged on social media for the world to refocus on Gaza — where there is 'No defense system. No army. No sirens. No bomb shelters…' Laying bare the grotesque asymmetry of a nuclear-armed apartheid state backed by the most powerful governments on Earth while insisting it is simply at 'war' with a trapped and starving civilian population.
Israel's campaign of terror has not slowed. Unfazed by Iran's attacks, the IOF continues their genocidal operations, recently killing at least 58 Palestinians, many near an 'aid' distribution site operated by the US-Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
This is just the latest massacre of starving Palestinians, whom are risking their lives for a chance at food – fully aware they're more likely to be killed than fed as what Palestinains and humanitarian agencies recognize as a GHF 'death trap.'
Palestinian journalist Talal Mahmoud reported that Al Awda Hospital was overwhelmed by the flood of injuries, while many wounded and missing remained unaccounted for. The hospital, like many others in Gaza, is collapsing under the weight of victims and the complete absence of medical supplies — a direct result of Israel's repeated bombings of healthcare infrastructure, assassinations of medical staff, and the ongoing blockade that prevents even basic humanitarian equipment from entering.
Though fewer in number due to the blackout, horrific images still managed to surface over the past 48 hours: doctors performing surgeries in the dark, children executed with bullets to the head and neck, a young man transporting his father's corpse on a bicycle, and lifeless bodies scattered in the wake of Israel's impunity and bloodthirst.
Israel wages its genocide in Gaza, expands attacks across the region, and drags the world towards war–all with full US and Western support. But as its brutality escalates, analysts now wonder whether the apartheid state leadership may be edging closer to collapse, rotting from within under the weight of its own violence and supremacist delusion.
