Gaza-Grad decree 227

On July 28 1942 Joseph Stalin issued a famous directive that was labeled Order Number 227. It became colloquially known as “not one step backwards,” and the Russians would not yield under any circumstances, not even one step backward.  In a parallel historic decision On October 7 the Palestinian military Hamas decided not to take any more steps backward from the Israeli blockade over Gaza for over 17 years and decided to launch the Al-Aqsa flood operation, setting up an unprecedented military confrontation with a surprise attack that has not been seen by the Israeli Army since the Yom Kippur war in 1973, when the Egyptian army crossed the Sues Canal. Hamas also took Israel off guard when it celebrated the Jewish holiday Simchat Torah by slamming its encircling kibbutzim, which occupy their territory violently. Even after the Oslo agreement, which promised a Palestinian state in Gaza, When Israel launched its counteroffensive against Hamas, Israeli Defense Minister Yoan Galant described the Israeli military reaction as “fighting human animals.” Hitler also put it when he decided to launch Operation Barbarossa that “our enemies are men below average; they are not men of action; they are not masters; they are little worms,” and when discussing his plan for the invasion of Russia with his generals, Hitler famously stated, “You have only to kick the door and the whole rotten structure will come crushing down.” Not far from Nazi rhetoric, prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Residents of Gaza, get out now. We will be everywhere, and with all our  might,” he said,shaking his fist in fury. The Netanyahu attack has resulted in at least eleven thousand Palestinians having been killed in the attack, a third of whom are innocent children’s. The strikes purposely strike sheltered locations, including hospitals, refugee camps, mosques, and United Nations relief works at UNRWA and its surrounding neighborhoods.

In similar tactics of annihilation, Nazi Germany By September 1942, the Russian losses amounted to 2.5 million men dead or captured. The German called these massive battles of encirclement and extermination “Kesselschlacht,” which literally means Cauldron battles. However, during the Nazi winning euphoria and just 40 miles short of Moscow, they were confronted with a massive shock of their campaign. The Russian tank T34 turned out to be a far superior machine compared to their German equivalent. That was an especially bitter pill to swallow by Nazi Germany, and they had to accept that “the inferior slavic” race  had produced better war vehicles than the Arian super race. The IDF has touted that their Merkav-4 model is protected against most ranges of air-launched precision-guided missiles and advanced top-attack anti-tank weapons that cost between seven and ten million dollars. However, the Merkava-4 was not a match for a cheap five hundred dollars  Al-Yassin 105 heavy-modified anti-tank round based on RPG-7 developed by Palestinian engineers in Gaza, which they depicted by the Israeli defense minister as “human animals.” The Palesetenian Markesman Brigade was able to put their sniping skills to the test, and they have hunted and destroyed so far numerous mekava tanks. In Stalingrad, one of the most famous urban fighting areas, the Russian marksmen used to hide in the rubble, then pick off their target from enemy soldiers. One of their celebrated snipers was just a shepherd from the Urals named Vasily Zaitev, who was credited with having shot 149 Germans. And in the Palestinian resistance in Gaza those days, they already had many snipers who were modeled after Vasily Zaitev. As Stalingrad became a symbol of obsession with Hitler, he refused to acknowledge that his attack on Stalingrad had failed and rejected any suggestions that the General Paulus army should escape while they still had a chance to do so over the subsequent weeks as the Russian noose started steadily tightening. The Germans found themselves surrounded and trapped in the ruin of Stalingrad. So Netanyahu still refuses to acknowledge that Hamas groups have an underground labyrinth that is designed to escape encirclement. and to use the underground passageways crisscross Gaza as subterranean design to allow Al Kassam brigade fighters to quickly surface to strike Israeli troops at lightning speed and disappear underground again. The battle of Stalingrad witnessed that the Germans had incurred horrific casualties in their prolonged battle to control the city. And for the first time, the entire German army had surrendered, and its losses were enormous, both materially and psychologically. And after Stalingrad, the Germans, for the rest of World War II, would in reality fight a defensive war. As Stallingrad was a turning point of the war against Nazi Germany, the Battle of ppl pNetanyahu to control Gaza would be a turning point in the history of the Israeli army. And over the next two years after Stalingrad, Marshal Zhukov and the red Russian army finally captured Berlin. So the Palestinian resistance will be victorious, and the Palestinian future has already started today not tomorrow.
