🔥 Gaza: A Land Buried Under Bombs.

They said it was war.
But no war leaves this kind of silence.
Only a graveyard does.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has not fought Gaza—it has bombed it into geological extinction. Strip by strip. Brick by brick. Body by body.

💣 What Was Dropped?

Not just bombs.
Not just numbers.
But a storm of engineered devastation:

Mark 84 “bunker-buster” bombs (2,000 lb) – capable of vaporizing entire apartment blocks.
JDAMs (Joint Direct Attack Munitions) – GPS-guided, U.S.-supplied “precision” bombs—precision not to spare lives, but to destroy them with focus.
MK 82 & MK 83 bombs – smaller, lighter, but still lethal enough to turn a school into smoke.
White Phosphorus shells – chemical fire rained over civilians.
155mm artillery shells – over 100,000 fired into Gaza—day and night, ceaseless.
DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive) munitions – designed to mutilate with microscopic metal powder.
Hellfire missiles, Spike NLOS, GBU-39s, MLRS barrages—each acronym, a method of annihilation.

📉 How Much Was Dropped?

12,000 tons in the first few weeks.
40,000 tons by November 2023.
70,000 tons by April 2024.
Now? 100,000 tons of explosives.

That’s more than the combined bombing of Dresden, Hamburg, and London in WWII.
More than both nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki—combined.

🗺️ Gaza Is Just 25 Miles Long and 6 Miles Wide.

Imagine Philadelphia.
A bustling American city of 1.5 million people.
Now compress it into a cage the size of Philadelphia International Airport and South Philly, and bomb it with the force of 100,000 tons of explosives.

What if that were Manhattan? Or Chicago's downtown?
What would we call that?

Now remember—Gaza has no escape routes, no air defenses, no bunkers.
Only children, bread lines, tents, and prayers.

☠️ And What Remains?

7,500 tons of unexploded bombs still lie buried in Gaza’s broken soil.
Thousands of amputees.
Entire families vaporized—2,200 family lines erased without a single survivor.

💔 This Is Not a War. This Is a Genocidal Laboratory.

And Gaza is the testing ground.
The West funds it.
Israel launches it.
The world watches it.

Every crater is a confession.
Every statistic is a funeral.
Every silence is a crime.

💬 If my small words move you—share them.
This isn’t just rubble. This is a record of our complicity.

Rebranding Genocide: When Killing Learns New Words

There are moments in history when crimes do not end — they simply learn new language. Gaza is living inside such a moment. The bombs have not stopped falling. The children have not stopped dying. The displaced have not stopped freezing in tents pitched atop rubble that was once their homes. What has changed is the vocabulary . And in the modern age, vocabulary is power . If you can rename atrocity, you can anesthetize conscience. First, it was called self-defense — a phrase emptied of meaning by its repetition. Then it became a war , despite the grotesque imbalance: one side armed with one of the most advanced militaries on earth, backed by the world’s most powerful empire ; the other a besieged civilian population without an army, navy, air force, tanks, or safe shelter. Now it is branded a ceasefire — a word invoked not to stop violence, but to conceal it. This is not peace. It is genocide with a quieter soundtrack. The Illusion of Restraint A slowed rate of killing is not m...

🔥 Gaza and the Grammar of Death: Achille Mbembe’s Necropolitics in the Age of Engineered Survival

By Malik Mukhtar (Full-Length Version with Mbembe Quotations) There are historical moments when the ordinary vocabulary of violence collapses . When “ conflict ,” “ occupation ,” and “ security ” no longer carry the weight required to explain what is unfolding before our eyes. Gaza is one such moment — a rupture in the moral architecture of the present. It is not simply a battlefield. It is an experiment in state-administered dying , in what Achille Mbembe named necropolitic s — the transformation of political power into the authority to dictate who may live and who must die. In Necropolitics (2003), Mbembe writes: “ The ultimate expression of sovereignty resides… in the power and the capacity to dictate who may live and who must die.” — Achille Mbembe, Necropolitics For Gaza, this is not theory. This is the daily grammar of existence. My book, Calculus of Survival: Necropolitics, Siege, and the Deionization of Life in Gaza , is situated squarely within this reality —...
