IF 2023 was a year to remember, it was largely for the wrong reasons. This is especially true for the Palestinian people or for anyone who favours peace over war, or human development over massacres.
But if we are looking for some grounds for optimism, it seems very likely that the assault on Gaza will end in 2024. If that is not the case then, through a combination of bombardment, starvation and disease, there will be almost nothing left of the Palestinian people.
All those political leaders and parties, mainly in the Nato countries, who oppose a ceasefire now will bear their share of responsibility for this. Of course, there have been forced expulsions and genocides before, unfortunately including many on a much larger scale than Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians now. The Nakba itself was on a much greater scale.
