“In a statement addressed ‘to the People of Gaza,’ President Trump warned on Wednesday that ‘A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD!’ Again, this was explicitly addressed to the entirety of Gaza’s population, not only to Hamas. US presidents kill civilians all the time, but it’s highly unusual for them to explicitly threaten a civilian population with extermination in a statement addressed directly to them …. At the same time, Israel is reportedly preparing a ‘hell plan’ in which it will resume its genocidal onslaught and cut Gaza off from electricity and water if Hamas refuses to accept Israel’s revised terms for the ceasefire deal in the coming days. The plan to cut off water is especially terrifying, as it would lead to mass civilian deaths relatively quickly.” (03/06/25)
