🇮🇱🇵🇸 "GAZA WAS BASICALLY AN INFERNO LONG BEFORE OCTOBER 7" Norman Finkelstein says we can’t know exactly what was in Hamas leaders’ heads before October 7, but he tries to imagine the mindset of the young fighters who broke out of Gaza that day. He describes Gaza as a place he calls a “concentration camp”: tiny, overcrowded, cut off by an Israeli blockade, with extreme youth unemployment and almost no future. In his telling, these young men grew up pacing the same fenced, in strip of land, feeling like their lives were already over, and when they saw the region moving toward deals like the Abraham Accords, they believed Gaza was about to be sealed off forever, which he suggests helped drive the decision to launch the attack. "I think it requires great powers of imagination, but without going through all the details, which I suspect many of your listeners know, Gaza was basically an inferno. Under the Israeli occupation it was already being described by Israel’s head of its National Security Council, Giora Eiland, as a, quote, “huge concentration camp.” His words. By October 2023, Gaza was being described by The Economist as a rubbish heap. Others described it as a human rubbish heap. Others described it as a toxic dump. The young men, the age cohort that burst the gates of Gaza on October 7th had been born into a concentration camp. They languished in the concentration camp, and it was almost certain they were going to die in that concentration camp. It looked like the final nail in the coffin of Gaza was going to be hammered in when Saudi Arabia joined the Abraham Accords. That was the expectation in 2023: that their fate was sealed. Gaza was over." Norman Finkelstein
