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 NGOs (= part of Israel's dystopian war)
DATE	DEVELOPMENT	CONTEXT	DESCRIPTION

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'.

OPINION
DATE	DEVELOPMENT	CONTEXT	DESCRIPTION

20241004	Can UN Resolution 1701 help end the Hezbollah-Israel fight?	opinion	Many politicians and diplomats have said that the only solution to the current conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, that can bring peace and security to both Israel and Lebanon, must be political. Part of any such solution could well involve a resolution agreed to by the United Nations' Security Council just over 18 years ago, they say.
20241004	Iran-Israel: Will Turkey get involved?	opinion	Turkey supports the Palestinians and criticizes Israel while still observing distant relations with Iran. Turkish military involvement in the growing regional conflict is therefore unlikely, experts say.
20241004	Khamenei's Friday sermon could shed light on Iran's plans after Israel attack	opinion	Discussion about the significance of Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s rare Friday sermon, his first since his country's missile attack on Israel, and also the first since Israel launched its wave of strikes on Hezbollah strongholds.
20241003	For Israel’s weary army, war in Lebanon is an attempt to salvage its image	opinion	Dystopian displays of technological prowess serve to distract the Israeli public from the military's failure to achieve its long-stated war aims.
20241003	US military action in the Middle East is not making Israel safer	opinion	Lasting security for Israel and the entire region requires an equitable peace with the Palestinians, which the US is not willing to broker.
20241002	Iranian missile strike on Israel shows capability for greater scale, complexity	opinion	Analysis -- The Iranian ballistic missile attack against Israel on Tuesday was larger, more complex and involved more advanced weapons than the strikes in April, experts say, putting greater stress on missile defences and allowing more warheads to get through.
20241002	Israel able to repel Iranian attack without need for major help from allies	opinion	Most of the defensive effort appears to have been undertaken by Israeli air defence systems
			Comment: found videos showing Iranian missiles hitting the Negev desert airbase show that no air defense system was active.
20241001	Israel, Lebanon telling ‘their versions’ of truth about ground offensive.	opinion	Analysis -- Ori Goldberg, an Israeli political commentator and lecturer at Reichman University, says he doesn’t believe that Israel is lying about sending ground troops into Lebanon despite Hezbollah’s denial. “It’s a grey area,” he told Al Jazeera from Tel Aviv. “This isn’t an invasion force. This isn’t an expeditionary force. There are no tanks. There are no infantry troops. These are mostly commando units.” Golberg said that it is likely that Israeli forces are likely focusing on known Hezbollah installations or similar targets. “So in that sense, if Hezbollah was expecting an invasion, then Hezbollah's statements are correct. Israel, however, has been exactly saying that this is what the force is,” he said. “So both sides are telling their version of the truth.”
20241001	Israeli strikes on civilians violate international law and Lebanese sovereignty.	opinion	Analysis -- Paul Morcos is a Professor of International Law at Strasbourg University, and President of JUSTICA legal Foundation. He emphasized that Israeli strikes on civilians in Lebanon breach international law, violating the Geneva Conventions. He highlighted that these attacks fail to distinguish between military targets and civilians, and that forced evacuations and the use of US weapons raise further legal concerns.
