The US and the UK oppose the Israeli invasion of Rafah
In steps the UN and the WHO. This is how they create an emergency to justify a reaction.
Netanyahu just closed the Rafah crossing in Gaza and dropped leaflets ordering everyone to leave but they have nowhere to go and he knows it. Like I said the new Port wasn't for humanitarian aid. This is terrorism. Israelis are still calling for Netanyahu's resignation.
Red Cross warns hunger in Gaza beyond catastrophic
Israel's military operation in Rafah completely unacceptable: Joly
Red Cross chief warns over Rafah closure - How is this not a genocide?
Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East: "As Oxfam has warned, Israel has repeatedly and deliberately targeted civilians and aid workers in so-called safe or humanitarian zones. Overnight, the Israeli military then took over the Rafah crossing, cutting off the occupied territory’s connection to Egypt and halting the already limited movement of goods and people. The UN warns that this closure has choked off Gaza’s main arteries for humanitarian access, and CJPME is further concerned that this closure will erode the ability of Palestinians to escape, including Canadians and their loved ones. CJPME notes that Israel’s invasion of Rafah coincides with its rejection of a ceasefire proposal that was accepted yesterday by Hamas, demonstrating Israel’s consistent unwillingness to end its military campaign."
CBC is reporting that "A former Israeli ambassador says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might have rejected a ceasefire deal this week in order to safeguard his own political future. 'He is prolonging the war, because what awaits him after the war is a very inhospitable, to say the least, political and public environment,' said Alon Pinkas, who was Israel's consul general in New York from 2000 to 2004, and a former foreign policy advisor to Israeli foreign ministers."
"Reports Monday indicated Hamas had agreed to an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire, which would have seen the exchange of Israelis held by Hamas and Palestinians held in Israeli prisons."
The Israeli's said from day 1 that they were going to rid the world of Hamas, completely. Why anyone thinks they were going to change their minds, I don't get.
ReplyDeleteYou don't get it because that's a lie. They created Hamas and the facilitated the attack. What they are doing is an absolute abomination. They keep ordering people to move while they bulldoze their homes over and over until they have no place to go. Meanwhile they are literally starving them to death so they can steal their natural gas and build their canal without them. It's all about money.
DeleteI actually don't disagree with any of that, yes that's what's happening. My point is that Israel has said from Day 1 what they intend to do, so it shouldn't be a shocker when they do it.
ReplyDeleteYes but that's not what they are doing. Everyone can see that. They've had Gaza under a naval blockade for all these years then all of a sudden they start building a port that won't be ready until the majority of the civilians have starved to death. This whole Hamas hostage taking is a farce just like it was in Iran during the October surprise.
DeleteGood point, why build a Port for people you are getting rid of?
ReplyDeleteFor them to leave and be dispersed so they don't come back.
