On the first anniversary of the Gaza war, this is neither a commemoration nor a dredging up of a distant memory, for the war continues, the genocide persists, Israel is expanding its war across the region, and the wound in Gaza is deep and bleeding. The death toll continues to rise, from Gaza to the West Bank and even Lebanon.

A year has passed since the open genocide in Gaza, and Israel's war, in which its previous wars and policies towards Gaza and all of Palestine have intensified. This year is not merely an anniversary, but the beginning of a new year in which the genocide continues. The passage of a year since the war is a theoretical matter in terms of calculations, but in Israel's logic, it simply means more rubble and more corpses from Gaza to Lebanon.
