Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for a “massive operation” in Rafah. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby warned that would be a “disaster” and that the United States “would not support it.”

The U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) estimates that the city’s population has grown to at least 1.4 million, more than five times its prewar count, with thousands of people sleeping in tents with little protection.

That’s nearly 3/4ths of the whole population of the Gaza Strip at this point.

    A lot of the people who refuse to criticise Israel today would have been quite at home with the Nazis, even if they were jews themselves. It is the same with those who justify the wrong doings of whatever state they support.

    Isreal doesn’t belong in the middle east, it should be between Germany and Poland so that Europe would forever be reminded of its atrocities. Failure to forcibly eject these colonizers would only result in more innocent palestinian casualties.
