Conflict in Gaza City: choosing your allegiance now
In the heart of the Middle East, the Battle of Gaza City is unfolding, a conflict that pits Israel's democratic forces against the terrorist militia, Hamas. According to an article by Brendan O'Neill, the author of this piece, this battle represents a significant struggle between a nation that upholds democratic values and a militia that harbours hatred towards the West and Jews.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have rolled into Gaza City to confront approximately 3,000 armed members of Hamas, led by Izz El-Din al-Haddad, who is believed to have taken command since the death of Mohammad Sinwar in May 2025. Haddad, the commander of Hamas's armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, has reportedly instructed Hamas cells to prepare for a 'fierce battle' that could last for months.
The IDF is not only facing the armed militia but also the potential danger posed to civilians, with some remaining in Gaza City and Israeli hostages being held by Hamas. In a concerning development, Hamas militants have rebuilt their tunnels in Gaza City, adding a new dimension to the ongoing conflict.
A UN commission of inquiry has accused Israel of committing genocide, based on the claim that it was aware of the high numbers of casualties that would result from its military operations. However, it is crucial to note that these allegations are yet to be substantiated.
