All eyes on Rafah

 

Emergency Protests for Rafah are  taking  place today,.Israel has chosen Yom Hashoah, the day Israel observes as a memorial for the 6 million Jews and five million others were killed by Nazi Germany and its allies in the Holocaust to  to tell hundreds of thousands of residents and displaced starving civilian Palestinian population  people in  Rafah to evacuate, fully aware that the majority of these people have nowhere to go. 
Israel dropped leaflets on the eastern areas of Rafah and ordered residents and displaced people to evacuate the areas (around 250,000 people live there)  The evacuation areas include the Rafah and Karm Abu Salem crossings, so humanitarian aid might stop flowing to Gaza at any time and the ability to travel might be impossible soon The areas designated for relocation are devastated, crowded and devoid of key services. There are no assurances of safety or return once hostilities end for those forced to relocate.
For over six months, Israel has deliberately and systematically targeted civilians and aid workers, including in clearly marked ‘safe zones’ and ‘evacuation routes.’ Any claims it now makes that civilians can be safely evacuated, have lost credibility. Al-Mawasi area - a so-called humanitarian safe zone where people have been told to flee - has already been targeted twice.
Don’t take your eyes off Rafah. Ground invasion is imminent. Another  dark chapter in Gaza genocide unfurls. If Western governments allow this to happen, there will be no coming back for humanity. The evidence that this will result in yet more death and destruction is overwhelming.
The language of "humanitarian safe zones" is completely disingenuous. Israel is a terrorist rogue state. Israel  are going to invade any minute now. We’ve reached the darkest point of the whole genocide. This is what they promised wouldn’t happen. It’s happening.  The only “safe place” left in Gaza is going to be destroyed and invaded. Palestinian people can’t evacuate quickly enough from Rafah  Experts have already  warned  us  that  an invasion of Rafah will lead to a massacre and humanitarian catastrophe for a population already facing famine.
Israel believes it can massacre with impunity because Western governments will not act: Arms. trade, military and economic aid will continue to flow to the apartheid state.  Let's  not  forget the  the six million Jewish men, women and children who were murdered during the Holocaust but  let us also remember the 34,000  Pallestinian civilians, plus the hundreds of medics, journalists, and humanitarian aid workers who have been murdered in Israel's ongoing Holocaust in Gaza. 
Israel's crackdown on Palestinian journalists makes it difficult to get coverage of what's going on.  Israel is forcibly shutting down the Al Jazeera office in Jerusalem, just as it drives over 100,000 Palestinians out of Rafah. From killing 100 plus Palestinian journalists to censoring media, Israel is trying to hide its heinous war crimes from the world..
Never forget  either that  both Starmer and Sunak not only turned their back on a clear genocide  that is happening, they supported it.They defended war crimes and blocked ceasefire motions for months  The blood will never wash clean.
The situation in Rafah is deeply concerning, and the international community must act swiftly to prevent further escalation and protect innocent lives..There hasn’t been a more urgent moment in this entire genocide  to raise our voices in unwavering solidarity and advocate for peace which matters now more than ever..
Any lever or platform., anything and everything you have.Don't look away. Call it what it is, a genocide.  Let's pray for our Palestinian brothers and sisters.  Speak up.demanding accountability from the Israeli government and justice for the victims of this senseless violence. Let us persist in our advocacy, ensuring that our elected officials hear our call for action 
We must act before more atrocities take place and press even harder for an immediate, permanent ceasefire to end the death and destruction, allow more aid into Gaza and enable  peace and justice to  prevail in Gaza. The least we can do for the Palestinians is to boycott companies that support and fund this ongoing genocide.
