Bishara argues that this conflict has always been an asymmetric, anticolonial struggle. The genocide was not a misstep; it was a blueprint unfolding before the world's eyes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Although he covers the entire war, Bishara contends that the first twelve days were enough to expose the core logic of the conflict, to understand the strategic design behind it, and to bear witness to how modern warfare, wrapped in the language of \"security,\" \"self-defense,\" and \"civilization,\" becomes a weapon of dehumanization and destruction. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What followed those twelve days--mass killing, mass displacement, famine, and the collapse of humanitarian possibility--was not the fog of war. It was the eerily cold execution of a premeditated strategy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Marwan Bishara\u003c\/strong\u003e has been the senior political analyst at Al Jazeera English for the past two decades.
