#Israel bombed the densely-populated #Jabalya#refugee camp in northern #Gaza for the 2nd time in 2 days Wednesday, prompting warnings of #WarCrimes by the UN #HumanRights Council (#OHCHR) & some nations took diplomatic measures & condemned Israel’s offensive in the besieged enclave.
You have to scroll a bit on the #UN news website, here (pic 1) is the entry re their concerns that #Israel’s #Jabalya#Refugee camp #airstrikes may be #WarCrimes. + a screenshot of the cited social media post (pic 2).
I can’t get past the Pod Save America guys in Cleveland last night calling settler colonialism an ahistorical take. Like they’ve never heard of Benny Morris or Ilan Pappé and are unable to see the ethnic cleansing taking place right before our eyes in Gaza and the West Bank.
In 2nd grade I used to bring dimes to Hebrew school to plant trees in Israel. 40 yrs later I learned those trees were planted on the ruins of Palestinian villages evacuated at gunpoint in 1948-9 and then bulldozed by the Israeli military. Many of the refugees resettled in Jabalya and other camps, where their descendants are now being killed by Israeli bombs. Israel now wants to cleanse north Gaza, perhaps to annex it as well.
"Settler colonialism" is personal to me. My mom's aunt made aliyah in the 1920s, after escaping pogroms in E. Europe she settled with her husband on a moshav near Tel Aviv. I don't know if they bought the land from the inhabitants or from absentee landlords who expelled the residents from their land -- both things happened in the 20s -- but I do know her children and grandchildren grew up as racist as the worst Jim Crow rednecks in the US South.
“I was waiting in line to buy bread when suddenly and without any prior warning seven to eight missiles fell,” an eyewitness, Mohammad Ibrahim, told CNN.
“There were seven to eight huge holes in the ground, full of killed people, body parts all over the place,” he said. “It felt like the end of the world.”
The strike on #Jabalya (largest refugee camp in #Gaza) seems to have two perspectives:
(Palestine) "There were seven to eight huge holes in the ground, full of killed people, body parts all over the place. It felt like the end of the world.” (civilian deaths)
(Israel): "WE GOT ONE!" (Hamas commander killed in Jabalya)
If what #Hamas did was terror (and it was), what #Israel is doing is terror magnified and multiplied again and again.
Last night I read this beautiful and heart wrenching account of life in Gaza and today I read that the refugee camp the author was reporting from has been bombed. Is the writer Atef Abu Saif still alive?

Dozens of people were killed or injured in the strike.
The director of the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza says at least 50 are killed and more than 150 injured. Reports of people buried under the rubble.
