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.

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

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.

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

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)

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.
