“Days after the ICJ orders Israel to halt its military offensive in Rafah, the Israeli Government bombs displaced people living in tents. Innocent men, women & children dismembered and burnt alive. Bear witness to the images and ask yourself, are you on the right side of history?”
Humza Yousaf, the former first minister of Scotland

"The #GazaGenocide will not easily end without external pressure: Israel must face sanctions, justice, suspension of agreements, trade, partnership and investments, as well as participation in int’l forums.”
"More horror in the #GazaGhetto. The Israeli occupation forces have bombed a camp for displaced Palestinians in #Rafah, causing plastic tents to catch fire and tragically burning people alive. This cruelty, along with blatant defiance of the int'l law and system, is unacceptable."
"Attacking women and children while they cower in their shelters [read:tents] in Rafah is a monstrous atrocity. We need concerted global action to stop Israel’s actions now."
Israel’s latest attack on an “area full of tents made of highly flammable material” in Rafah, comes as people in Gaza are completely spent after months struggling to find food, water and shelter.
“They know that there’s no place that is safe. They know that there are no hospitals that they can … rely on for life-saving treatment, given all the systematic assaults on hospitals.”
Israel bombed Rafah in southern Gaza over 60 times in 48 hours, ignoring the International Court of Justice orders to stop its military operations there.
Israel bombed displaced Palestinians in tents, killing over 30 Palestinians, including children.
The scenes coming out of Rafah are horrific, resembling a massacre.
So there’s a #genocide happening in real time. Live streaming. I can’t do anything because I’m bedridden. Not sure I could do much if I wasn’t. This is beyond words.
I’m not much of a religious person but I do remember a part of the #Bible where it says basically all hell will break loose when the Jews return to Israel and that’s the beginning of the end.

The death toll from Israel attack on the tent camp at Tal as-Sultan area has risen to 40.
Most of the victims were women and children.
Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that many of the people inside the tents were burnt alive. The PRCS also said that hospitals in the area are incapable of handling this large number of victims as a result of the occupation’s deliberate destruction of the health system in Gaza.
