As Israel threatens to launch a military ground offensive in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, members of the international community — including Canada — are urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reconsider.
Remember when back in October people were called anti-Semites for criticizing Israel?
Back in October? It’s still happening. Of course, most of those are Israel mouthpieces
“Warning” of catastrophe? The whole point is to create a catastrophe. I think a better word to use would be “confirming” that their genocidal actions amount to catastrophe. That way Israel can be sure they are genociding effectively.
Still too lukewarm, for all the war crimes and catastrophes that have already occurred.
In 10 years time we’ll all be able to look back and say “Never Again” though!
Damn, you’d really think Israeli citizens such as Netanyahu and the rest of Israel’s government would hesitate to use Hitler and the Third Reich as a role model, but here we are.
You’d only think that if you didn’t know Israeli history.
Their 10th and 12th prime ,inister was Yitzhak Shamir. He was the leader of the Lehi (also known as the Stern gang). That group tried to literally ally with Hitler during WW2 and he spent his whole life basically saying Hitler did nothing wrong. The country elected this man 3 times.
Oh you might be thinking this was just after the war so it wasn’t all so bad? No he was last prime minister in 1992. The 14th PM was a man you may know as . . . Benjamin Netanyahu, who looked up to Shamir as his role model and they were both part of the same party, Likud. They elected him 8 times.
Likud is made up of a merger of many right-wing groups, one of them being Herut. Of which a famous Jew you may have heard of called Albert Einstein once described as “a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy, and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties.”
Israel at its core is a fascist/Zionist state, it’s citizens routinely support this. There is no surprise.
catastrophic because it’s an election year
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As Israel threatens to launch a military ground offensive in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, members of the international community — including Canada — are urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reconsider.
In a joint statement released Wednesday night, the prime ministers of Canada, Australia and New Zealand said they are “gravely concerned” by indications that Israel is planning an offensive, saying it would be “catastrophic” if carried out.
Earlier this week, U.S. President Joe Biden told Netanyahu that Israel shouldn’t launch a military operation into Rafah without a credible plan to ensure the safety of Palestinians sheltering there.
Dutch Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot called it “unjustifiable,” saying on Tuesday that it was “hard to see how large-scale operations in such a densely populated area would not lead to many civilian casualties and a bigger humanitarian catastrophe.”
One doctor who recently left Gaza described Rafah as a “closed jail,” with fecal matter running through streets so crowded that there is barely space for medics’ vehicles to pass.
Andrea De Domenico, head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, says a mass evacuation of Rafah would be “simply catastrophic.”
