Israel strikes Gaza, killing over 400
Al Jazeera Live, By Federica Marsi ([link removed]) , 18 Mar 2025
* At least 404 people, including many children, have been killed ([link removed]) in renewed Israeli attacks that have shattered a fragile ceasefire in Gaza. The Health Ministry’s toll is expected to rise as many victims remain under the rubble.
* Israel, which has enforced a total aid blockade ([link removed]) on Gaza for more than two weeks, issues ([link removed]) new forced displacement orders for several areas.
* As world reacts ([link removed]) to the wave of attacks, Hamas says Israel carried out a “treacherous” attack on besieged and defenceless civilians in order to overturn the ceasefire deal.
* Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says ([link removed]) he ordered the strikes because of a lack of progress in talks to extend the ceasefire.
* Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 48,577 Palestinians have been confirmed dead and 112,041 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza ([link removed]) . Gaza’s Government Media Office updated its death toll ([link removed]) to more than 61,700, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.

Genocide as U.S. and Western policy, from past to present
There is no end in sight to Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing violence Palestine.

On-going U.S. and Western full support for/legitimization of what Israel is doing are a reminder of how the U.S. and Canada were created as Nation States through centuries of British, French, Spanish, Portuguese genocidal ethnic-cleansing land theft and ensuing settler colonialism across the Americas, in the 16^th, 17^th and 18^th centuries.

Remembering genocides in Guatemala
Rights Action does not lightly denounce Israel’s U.S. and Western-backed ethnic cleansing death and destruction in Palestine. We remember the genocides and scorched earth massacres carried out by U.S. and Western-backed military regimes in Guatemala in the 1970s- 80s, targeting and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, a majority being Mayan indigenous.

During the worst years (1978-1983) of genocides and massacres, U.S. allies/“proxy states” Britain, France, Israel, Chile’s Pinochet regime and the Argentinean Generals also provided military aid, weapons and training to the Guatemalan regimes. Sectors of the Guatemalan Army receiving training from Israel referred to some of what they were doing as the “Palestinization” of the Mayan peoples. (Links to information 1 ([link removed]) , 2 ([link removed]) , 3 ([link removed]) about Israel’s role in Latin America in the 1970s and 80s supporting U.S.-backed military regimes)

Today, Rights Action continues to fund on-going work and struggle, led by victim-survivors of the genocides, for truth, memory and justice. Over 40 years later, there has been almost no justice or reparations for these Western-backed atrocities … all “justified” at the time as part of the “war on communism”.

The devastating legacies of the genocides and State repression are an on-going lived experience today in the lives and communities of the survivors, their children and grand-children.

Accountability for U.S. and Western complicity
As we try to do with our work in Guatemala and Honduras, Rights Action encourages and supports education, organizing and activism work to hold the U.S.-led West legally and politically accountable for supporting, enabling and legitimizing Israel’s systematic crimes against humanity and war crimes against Palestine and the Palestinian people.

Urgent need to diversify media sources
Rights Action urges any and every one to diversify their news sources, as a necessary antidote to the oftentimes harmful, misleading reporting coming from much of the mainstream government and corporate media in the U.S., the E.U. and Canada.
