You spend months driving people south. You announce it is the only safe zone. You kettle the people there. And then you attack them by air and land. That is textbook genocide and anyone who denies it is a genocide supporter.
This is unreal. Theres 1.3M Palestinians packed in Rafah because they were told it was a “safe zone” but we can clearly see it was a guise to lure them into a densely populated area to kill as many as possible. I can’t believe we are witnessing a holocaust of this magnitude
They told us that sports isn’t the place for politics but then turned around and ran ads for nations that are facilitating genocide during the Super Bowl. Funny how that works.
ok but actually why tf was a foreign government airing ads during an american media event? was the latest billion dollar aid package not enough? is the propaganda actually working or are they just rich and stupid?
I don’t think people understand, if one bomb dropped in London, we would never move past it. The world would stop. A BOMB? what do you mean people getting blown into pieces on Oxford Street? This is what people are getting desensitised to. It DOESN’T make sense. It needs to STOP
If you wanted to starve and displace Palestinians you would go after the UNRWA.
Palestinian refugees registered with the UNRWA have a *right of return* to Gaza if they’re displaced.
Over 6 million Palestinians are registered with the UNRWA.
If this organisation collapses… NO Palestinian will have the right to return to their homeland.
Do you now understand why they are trying to destroy the UNRWA…?🇺🇳🇮🇱🇵🇸
Whatever your position is, just take a moment to reflect on just how dark this is.
Just hours after the ICJ concluded that Israel was plausibly committing genocide and ordered it to dramatically step up humanitarian efforts, 7 Western countries sanctioned... not Israel but the Palestinians and the UN (!!!).
They cut funding for UNRWA, which is THE UN agency tasked with humanitarian assistance to Palestinians (and therefore their main lifeline).
Even if you were the world's worst cynic, you'd still have a hard time expecting such sheer level of cruelty and depravation. This is absolutely unfathomable.
They did so with the cheapest possible excuse, effectively using Israel's narrative that "UNWRA is Hamas" and allegations by Israel that some UNWRA staff were involved in the 7th Oct attack but 1) Israel has been making these accusations for months (so the timing of cutting funding right after the ICJ ruling is obviously not a coincidence) and 2) UNWRA has announced it's terminated the contracts of the staff members accused (12 people out of its 30,000 strong workforce) and launched an investigation, so it obviously doesn't condone this. Even if the allegations were to be proven correct, how can an organization of 30,000 staff be held collectively accountable for the individual actions of 0.04% of its workforce? Especially in the current context when its work is a life or death matter for millions of people.
To add to the cynicism here, UNWRA staff are actually a major victim of the war with at least 152 UNRWA staffers killed by Israel in Gaza to date. In a normal world, it is Israel that should be punished for killing so many members of a humanitarian organization. But nope, it's the humanitarian organization that's getting punished, alongside with the very vulnerable population it's committed to helping.
