By October 17, ten days later, the Israeli armed forces had bombed to death more than 5,000 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly women and children, at times dropping 2,000 pound bombs on apartment buildings, and had cut off all water, food and fuel to Gaza.
On that same 17th day of October 2023, Dr. Norman Finkelstein gave a talk at the University of Massachusetts labeled, "The Struggle for Justice in Palestine: Past, Present, and Future."
"Palestinians have been trapped in a concentration camp for twenty years" as "the international community had abandoned them, and whatever tactic they attempted, including nonviolent resistance, had no impact on freeing them from that concentration camp." [Dr. Norman Finkelstein]
China to International Court of Justice:
"Palestine has 'inalienable right' to armed resistance. "Palestinian 'use of force to resist oppression is an inalienable right' and cannot be equated with terrorism."
UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese, tweeted on X, April 8, 2023
"Israel can't claim it has a right to defend itself from the people it oppresses and whose land it colonizes,"
Right away, on October 9, Israel's defence minister announced a "complete siege" of Gaza, describing the Palestinian fighters who attacked Israel over the weekend as "human animals." "We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza," Gallant said. "There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything will be closed."[Oct. 9, 2023 HuffPost]

'Erase Gaza': War Unleashes Incendiary Rhetoric in Israel
WEBNov 15, 2023 - "Erase Gaza. Don't leave a single person there," Yair Golan an Israeli politician and senior military officer, said in an interview with Channel 14 on Oct. 15. New York Times Nov. 15, 2023
An Israeli rabbi urged the killing of women and children in the Gaza Strip and said he considered it a response to the teachings of halakha, or Jewish law.
It came from Eliyahu Mali in a video that was widely circulated Thursday on social media.
Mali heads the Shirat Moshe religious school in Jaffa in central Israel, where students serve in the army.
He claimed that those described as "vandals" in today's war are "the children of the previous war whom we kept alive, and in reality, it is the women who produce terrorists."
"Whoever comes to kill you with this concept does not only include the young man aged 16, 18, 20, or 30 who is now pointing a weapon at you, but also the future generation (the children of Gaza), and those who produce the future generation (women of Gaza), because there is really no difference," he said.
