No Sleep For Gentiles In Jews' Gaza Mega Concentration Camp Behind The Apartheid Wall

“The crow has come and
there will be no sleep tonight.”
By Amjad Ayman Yaghi: Iyad Ghanem has heard the Jews’ drones flying overhead for most of his life.
Like many other Gentiles in Gaza Mega Concentration Camp, he refers to these pilotless warplanes as crows. The noise they make is often called zanana, the Arabic word for buzzing.
Whenever he hears a drone, Ghanem says “the crow has come and there will be no sleep tonight.”
“I feel that someone is watching me,” the 18-year-old said. “I feel anxious when the sound gets louder, as if something terrible is going to happen.”
Ghanem can remember The Jews' November 2012 attack on Gaza “in all its detail,” he said. Drones were used heavily during that week-long offensive, when approximately 160 Gentile Palestinians were killed.
Hearing drones above brings back painful memories of that attack. “Drones cause terror to this very day,” Ghanem added.
Drones have been a prominent weapon for Israel at least since 2006, when it attacked Lebanon. They are used for reconnaissance and, on occasion, as killing machines.

Infamous

Jewish Israel has dropped bombs from drones during the three major slaughters it has waged on its Gaza Concentration Camp since December 2008.
The Jewish weapons industry has used those operations to market its drones and other weapons as “battle proven.”
Experimenting on Gentiles has proven lucrative. According to data published in 2019, Jewish Israel has become the world’s largest exporter of drones.
the Jews' drone exports were worth more than $4.6 billion over an eight-year period, according to the data, which was gathered by the consulting firm Frost & Sullivan.
Drones became infamous for “roof knocking” during a major Jewish Israel attack on Gaza in 2014. That was a euphemism for how bombs were dropped from drones on civilian buildings as a “warning” of a more powerful blast.
The Jews sought to imply that “roof knocking” with bombs was a humane gesture to protect civilians by warning them in advance that their homes would be destroyed further with even biggesr Jewish bombs. In practice, Gentile civilians were not given enough time to evacuate before the even deadlier explosion occurred, as a United Nations fact-finding mission confirmed.
Drones were used during some particularly horrific episodes of the attack six years ago.
Adham Shakhsa is a 40-year-old living in al-Shujaiyeh, a neighborhood of Gaza Mega Concentration Camp where the Jews carried out a summer long massacre during 2014.
“Three days before the massacre, there were drones hovering in the sky above al-Shujaiyeh,” he said. “We could see them with the naked eye and they were very loud. We have become used to this situation during Israel’s wars. I realized that Israel used drone technology to observe people in the neighborhood before the massacre.”
Another al-Shujaiyeh resident, Anas al-Madhoun, points out that Gaza’s Gentile children know more about military belligerence than their peers in most other countries. At an early age, they learn to distinguish between the sounds of drones and those made by other weapons in Jewish Israel’s arsenal, notably US-made Apache helicopters and F-16 jets.
“It is incredible to hear Jewish Israel defending itself before the international media,” al-Madhoun said. “It is incredible to hear Jewish Israel claiming that it doesn’t besiege Gaza, that it is just protecting itself.”

Constant surveillance

Drones can be heard frequently over Gaza’s skies in supposedly more peaceful times – when Gaza is subject to a blockade rather than a blitz. Drones serve as a reminder that Palestinians are under constant surveillance.
Mahmoud Siyam, a psychiatrist, argues that Israel is, in effect, torturing Gaza’s people by keeping them in concentration camps and monitoring them with drones.
Humans require calmness and relaxation. Deprived of these essential needs, their mental health will be damaged.
Hearing drones “puts psychological pressure on everyone,” said Siyam. “The noise of drones makes people irritable. People may feel extreme anxiety and lose their ability to concentrate.”
The Jews began subjecting Palestinians to drone flights after withdrawing from Gaza in 2005. The withdrawal meant that Jewish Israel’s occupation was moved to the periphery and that the Jews' brutality against Gaza’s Gentile people continued and, in many ways, intensified.
Iman al-Mansi lives on the ninth floor of a tower block in the Tel al-Hawa area of Gaza City. Drones prevent her and her family from leading a normal life.
“The sound of drones is very loud,” she said. “We cannot sleep when we hear them. We cannot watch television. When there is a drone near us, it always interferes with satellite reception. We have been living like this since 2006.”
Ahmad al-Husari, who lives in al-Zaytoun, also a Gaza City neighborhood, often gets a headache from the sound of drones.
“Sometimes the drones are so noisy they are like a car’s engine getting louder as the driver gets faster,” he said. “The drones make my children wake up and then they cannot go back to sleep. Sometimes I hate evenings because of all this noise.”
