DATE	DEVELOPMENT	CONTEXT	DESCRIPTION

COLLUSION & COMPLICITY First, the Gaza problem is not the same story as the Palestinian problem. The British and the French became the roots of the Gaza problem when their Suez company, that controlled the strategic Suez Canal, was nationalized in 1956 by the then-president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The two countries wanted the canal back but were eager to start a war with Egypt. They had asked the Israelis for help who attacked Egypt by invading and occupying Gaza . France and Britain are also the countries who laid in 1916 the foundation of the Palestinian problem that have led to the declaration of the British Arthur Balfour in 1917. These two countries are the first to have the leverage to change this part of the entire problem which the Palestinian problem is. The role of the United States is unrelated to the history of the Gaza problem but to the Palestinian problem as a whole that began with the recognition by Harry Truman on May 14, 1948, and eleven minutes after European Zionist migrants renamed historic Palestine. The complicity became deeper after the founding of AIPAC in the 1960s. The role of Germany has its roots in the Haavara deal, that German Ashkenazis struck with the Nazis in 1933 to have themselves migrated to what was then still British Mandatory Palestine. The role of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have their roots in the so-called Abraham "peace" accord that was mastermind in 2020 by Netanyahu and Trump's son-in-law, the orthodox Jew Jared Kushner. The "agreement" was mastermind to isolate the Palestinians from the Arabic world. The role of other reported countries are related to policies in favor of the Israelis. But in Gaza, people appear not to know when they ask "Where are the Arabs?" In 1995, the European Commission and the Israelis struck an association agreement that brought the Union into the position of collusion as it includes Israeli export that has its origin in the occupied territories. Since July 2024, some EU member states are calling for a review. On December 17, 2014, the General Court of the European Union had annulled on grounds of on factual imputations derived from the press and the internet, the listing of Hamas as a terrorist organization. On January 24, 2024, the EU listed Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar on its terrorist list over the event on October 7th. Putting Sinwar on EU's terrorist list is a violation as he is a member of a recognized resistance, and was October 7th not a terrorist attack, both because of these international laws: The Law Of Belligerent Occupation says that occupied people have the right to form armed groups to resist occupation. The Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions refers to the right of self-determination of all people under foreign and colonial rule, and in the context of self-determination as detailed in the UNGA Resolution A/RES/3817. In addition, Netanyahu's declaration of war on Gaza from October 7, 2023 is both ill-conceived and a blatant violation of Article 51 of the UN Charter. Ill-conceived because an occupying war belligerent cannot declare war on a part of a country while that country is currently gradually under annexation. Then, Art. 51 is in international context, meaning the article concerns countries. Gaza is not a country but part of a gradually annexed country. Israelis have never lifted their self-declared war since 1967 with the remaining parties the Palestinians and Syria. How to declare war when one is already at war in all times (ref. Mark Regev in Jan. 2009).

DYSTOPIAN WAR

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
ADOPTED 09 December 1948	BY General Assembly resolution 260 A (III)
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023.

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice.

In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc.

Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human.

It is a dystopian war when the Israeli belligerent fractions Gaza into pieces to repeatingly force occupied people back and forth from one piece to another piece, or with the intention to uproot the people into one single section by declaring more fractions as "combat zone" to create a shrinking "safe zone".

ELIMINATION OF UNWRA (= part of Israel's dystopian war) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was established as a autonome organ of the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December 1949 and became operational on 1 May 1950. It was established to provide relief to all refugees resulting from the 1948 conflict; this initially included Jewish and Arab Palestine refugees inside the State of Israel until the Israeli government took over this responsibility in 1952. The mandate of the UN body makes it unique that it can register Palestinians as refugee throughout generations, including of those who were not registered in the early 1950s. This is the real obstacle to the process of the Israeli Zionization of the remaining parts of historic Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank. On January 11, 2024, the Advocate General Emiliou of the Court Of Justice of the European Union said that Palestinian applicants for refugee status can claim that UNRWA’s protection has ‘ceased’ in the light of the general living conditions prevailing in the Gaza Strip. UNWRA has NOT ceased but has been under Israeli siege to achieve their goal to eliminate its operations in Gaza in order to strip Palestinians from their refugee status. The Israelis use phrases like "Hamas was embedded" or the targeted object was used by Hamas. We added reported developments about Biden's pier to this timeline as the story behind is political. Developments reveal that politics of by-passing UNWRA is the motive of the pier. It started in November 2023 when the Israelis sought contact with Cyprus that resulted in the misleading claim that Nicosia offered the Israelis a humanitarian corridor. It is considered misleading when looking at developments timelined in 'medical treatment', 'humanitarian aid', 'humanitarian crisis, and 'food, water, fuel & electricity'.

Biden's pier was NOT Biden's idea but a "workout" from series of "contacts", that the Israeli started to initiate in November 2023 with Cyprus to by-pass UNWRA. The actions are part of a long standing desire to have Palestinians stripped from their refugee status. The latter is only possible when they succeed to force UNWRA to cease all its activities, that includes the protection of Palestinians as refugee.

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
ADOPTED 09 December 1948	BY General Assembly resolution 260 A (III)
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice.

In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc.

Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human.

It is a dystopian war when the Israeli belligerent fractions Gaza into pieces to repeatingly force occupied people back and forth from one piece to another piece, or with the intention to uproot the people into one single section by declaring more fractions as "combat zone" to create a shrinking "safe zone".

20240715	Food aid is piling up inside Gaza. Here's why it's not reaching those in need	humanitarian aid	"But here's the catch: Much of this humanitarian aid is piling up on the Gaza side of the border instead of traveling the last few miles to those suffering in the 10th month of the war between Israel and Hamas."
			Comment: this report is not true as it silences the ban list that the Israeli army unit COGAT uses to search for items it views as "double use". Drivers are ordered to unload these items from their truck on the Israeli side of the Karam Abu Salem crossing. Collected videos and photos are showing the pile up is on the Israeli side, not Gaza.
20240715	13 leading INGOs disclose details of aid obstruction impeding their humanitarian operations	humanitarian aid	NGOs report that the entry of aid into Gaza has severely deteriorated since the Israeli major ground incursion into Rafah early May. The southern crossings *(Rafah & Karam Abu Salem crossings)* are either fully closed or logistically unavailable due to the deterioration of security conditions. MSF, NRC, PUI, MdM, MC, SC, CARE, HI, and ActionAid report that tons of critically needed aid, intended to be delivered through the southern route, have been stuck for weeks, sometimes months.
20240712	UN warns Gaza Strip 'too dangerous' for aid distribution as Palestinians go hungry	humanitarian aid	by-pass politics -- Israel says it is taking steps to increase the flow of aid into the Gaza Strip through the port of Ashdod. But tons of supplies have piled up on the Gaza side of Israeli-controlled border crossings. The UN says it is unable to collect them for distribution, as Israeli military operations against Hamas make it too dangerous to move around.
			Comment: German video report is misleading. Arwa Damon is NOT working for the UN. As a former war journalist for CNN, she runs a humanitarian organization based in Turkey. The corridor from Lanarca, Cyprus was a Israeli masterminded by-pass politics from November 2023 to establish a corridor from Cyprus to Gaza as part of attempts to eliminate UNWRA's humanitarian activities in Gaza..

The strike also killed three staffers from other aid groups using the warehouse, the Al-Khair Foundation said in a statement.
20240710	Israel cites aid backlog in Gaza; UN says: 'We're doing what we can'	humanitarian aid	A backlog of 1,150 truckloads of humanitarian aid is waiting to be collected from the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing in the southern Gaza Strip, Israel said on Wednesday, prompting the United Nations to say: "We're doing what we can."
			Comment: It is NOT about a backlog. It is about having ordered drivers to unload their trucks from items that the Israeli army unit COGAT had banned from entering Gaza as they were listed as 'dual use'. The backlog refers to items that has been removed from the ban list, which changes on the regular basis. In many cases, drivers had to unload their entire cargo from the trucks. This explains why you see pile ups on the war belligerent's side of the Karam Abu Salem crossing. It is a attempt to bring UNWRA in discredit, and is part of the Israeli campaign to have the UN body out of Gaza to strip Palestinians from their internationally recognized refugee status. The finding is based on monitoring what COGAT was posting on its X-account to compare these content with news reports about shortages of food, drinking water, medicines and other humanitarian aid.

This ratio is plucked from table 2.3 in the Global Burden of Armed Violence report that lists ratios of indirect to direct deaths ranging from 0 to 15.7 for thirteen wars. However, these figures come from a small, non-representative sample of conflicts, many of which differ significantly from Gaza in terms of geography, accessibility, and humanitarian conditions.
