The academic model for understanding Israel is fundamentally Eurocentric. It filters all global histories through the lens of European expansion beginning in the 16th century, treating “modernity” as a uniquely European phenomenon to which all other histories must conform. As a result, Jewish return to the Land of Israel—a civilizational act of indigenous reattachment and continuity—is misread as a colonial intrusion, simply because it falls outside the temporal frame of European modernity. Jews are cast as “Europeans,” despite their rootedness in the Middle East, while Arab and Islamic projects that seek to reignite imperial entitlements are framed as anti-colonial resistance. This inversion only makes sense within a Eurocentric periodization that erases the longue durée of Middle Eastern history. Arab colonialism is rendered invisible because it precedes and exceeds European colonial timelines, while Jewish indigeneity is delegitimized because it is “too old” to count. In this frame, only European actions generate historical meaning—everything else is either a reaction or an anachronism. The result is a distorted moral geography in which only those who fit the mold of modern, post-1492 resistance movements are granted legitimacy—while Jews, whose return expresses a far older structure of peoplehood, law, and land, are denied even the language to describe themselves.

An initial inquiry regarding the strike on the observation camera at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, which occurred yesterday (Monday), August 25th, 2025, was presented to the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, by the Commander of the Southern Command, MG Yaniv Asor, today (Tuesday). From an initial inquiry, it appears that Golani Brigade troops, operating in the area of Khan Yunis to dismantle terrorist infrastructure, identified a camera that was positioned by Hamas in the area of the Nasser Hospital that was being used to observe the activity of IDF troops, in order to direct terrorist activities against them. This conclusion was further supported, among other reasons, by the documented military use of hospitals by the terrorist organizations throughout the war, and by intelligence confirming Hamas’ use of the Nasser Hospital to carry out terrorist activities since the start of the war. In light of this, the troops operated to remove the threat by striking and dismantling the camera and the inquiry showed that the troops operated to remove the threat. The Chief of the General Staff received the initial conclusions that were presented and instructed that the inquiry be completed. At the outset, the Chief of the General Staff emphasized that the enemy conducts extensive and covert visual-intelligence gathering while cynically exploiting sensitive sites and civilian infrastructure, such as the Nasser Hospital, from which it carries out terrorist activities against IDF troops. The Chief of the General Staff added that six of the individuals killed were terrorists, one of whom took part in the infiltration into Israeli territory on October 7th. At the same time, the Chief of the General Staff regrets any harm caused to civilians. The Chief of the General Staff instructed to further examine several gaps: Firstly, a further examination of the authorization process prior to the strike, including the ammunition approved for the strike and the timing of the authorization. Secondly, an examination of the decision making process in the field. The Chief of the General Staff emphasized that the IDF directs its activities solely toward military targets.

The IDF completed its initial inquiry into the Nasser Hospital strike. Troops fighting Hamas in Khan Yunis identified a Hamas camera being used to monitor soldiers and direct attacks on them. They struck the target and killed six terrorists, including one who took part in 10/7.
