In justifying Israel's invasion of Gaza's Shifa Hospital, the Pentagon has essentially admitted that its own intelligence assessment asserting that Hamas military sites are concealed beneath the hospital is nothing more than recycled Israeli propaganda.
Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon spokeswoman, told reporters on November 15 that US intelligence had no "boots on the ground," nor any intelligence assets capable of independently gathering intelligence from or about Shifa. When asked if the declassified intel briefing asserting that Hamas and Islamic Jihad operate inside the hospitals arrived through Washington's "Israeli counterparts," she refused to answer.
Israel's attempt to brand Gaza's hospitals as covert military bases is not only aimed at justifying its violent takeover of those facilities – a war crime that was once unthinkable. It is also designed to conceal its ulterior genocidal goal of eliminating the centers of life from northern Gaza, especially the hospitals which have provided sanctuary and medical care for tens of thousands of displaced people, thereby forcing the population to migrate south toward Egypt. Once northern Gaza is cleansed of its native population, Tel Aviv plans to pressure Egypt to accept displaced Palestinians in tent cities in the Sinai, where they can then be resettled in the region or permanently scattered across the West.
The Biden administration is therefore repackaging Israeli propaganda as a declassified "intelligence assessment" to support one of the great atrocities of our time: a modern day Nakba aimed at the ethnically cleansing of Gaza and consolidation of Israel's system of apartheid as a permanent fact of life.
