Former Chief of Staff of Rafael Eitan ~ his own words

Utterly disgusting. Who defends this?

On Rafah, I am praying it doesn’t happen, and that it is being used a threat to attempt to control negotiations.

@BackandForthRoundandRound I am disgusted by the words of that Former Chief. There should be no pride in such cruelty.

The words are really disturbing. They have been repeated constantly and the very idea of someone viewing others as being less than them and something to be erased is absolute evilness.

I am hoping beyond hope that that does not happen. I do wonder if they will delay due to the change in tone from John Kirby but I honestly can't see it as there has been no stopping Israel since they began this particular intensive phase. I can't see them being reigned back in.

As Israeli forces have previously repeatedly targeted areas that they originally claimed were "safe" and numerous Palestinian people stating before now that they feared Rafah would be the end of them is haunting.

I do suspect that this is an attempt to force Egypt to allow people in. (Which I cannot see happening)

BackandForthRoundandRound · 09/02/2024 08:09

At least 17 people have been murdered by Israeli snipers situated outside Nasser Hospital. Medical staff have also been targeted.

Russia was banned so it would be rather fitting if Israel happens to be, too.

Not sure which thread to put this on, but as it’s an accusation we often see thrown around on the Mumsnet boards, I thought it was relatable and wanted to put it somewhere.

Israel faces calls for football ban from nations in the Middle East - but urges FIFA 'not to involve politics'

In a letter seen by Sky News, a group of 12 nations has called for Israel to be banned from world football.

That is so upsetting, yet there are people blocking aid trucks whilst babies are dying

Show quote history

I shared a video on here where a female was boasting about having helped to stop 132 trucks of aid from crossing yesterday. Very proud of herself for having helped to do so and no intentions of stopping. How anyone can stop aid from going in, and also celebrate doing so, is beyond me. It is obvious that babies would be among the ones suffering and dying as a result yet they continue on.

I'm glad they stood by their beliefs and didn't compromise them.

John Kirby's tone, along with choice of words, were completely different when discussing Israel. Thanks for posting this article... I would hope America would try to prevent this ~ likely due to how much their reputation has gone downhill for supporting and supplying Israel with the arms for murder ~ but I am somewhat doubtful. The thought of another massacre taking place is beyond any words

As an Israeli offensive in Rafah remains likely Netanyahu has confirmed that “we’ve instructed the IDF to prepare also to operate in Rafah and in two camps in the centre, the last strongholds Hamas has left.
Here too, when the time comes, the IDF will act in compliance with international law and will allow the [civilian] population safe passage out of the war zones.”

Israel has reportedly told Egypt that it will allow people to leave Rafah before it moves in. (From the Guardian)
