THE ATROCIOUS Israel bombing with air to ground missiles on a refugee tent camp of displaced Palestinians near Rafah on the Gaza Strip killed at least 45 innocent women, children and men, and seriously wounded hundreds more.
It ignited fires and destroyed the camp where thousands of people had fled to escape the Israeli bombing around Rafah, which is on the border with Egypt.
This is one more ‘tragic mistake,” as Israel’s government called it, accepting blame that will go down in history as one of the worst of many atrocities committed by Israel in its fanatic and failed effort to eliminate the brutal Hamas killers of 120 Israeli civilians and soldiers on October 7, 2023.
This violent fanatical group, branded a terrorist organization by some Western nations, controlled the Gaza Strip. They mounted a vicious attack against Israeli soldiers, civilian settlements and a music concert on October 7, 2023 and they massacred 120 Israelis and took over 125 hostages back into the Gaza Strip where they hid in hundreds of underground tunnels and fired rockets at Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is held responsible for appeasing Hamas, allowing them to receive cash money from Arab states and being totally unprepared for an attack despite intelligence warnings, according to a BBC documentary.
This latest mass killing by Israel is in addition to the estimated 36,096 Palestinians killed and 81,136 seriously wounded since they retaliated against Hamas.
The Israeli army has blockaded the delivery of food and medical aid and has been accused by South Africa of attempting the genocide of the Palestinian people. That was brought to the International Court of Justice.
The court ruled that Palestinians had “plausible rights to protection from genocide-” rights which were at real risk of irreparable damage. These are words which clearly indicate that whatever violent acts of war Israel was doing in Gaza, they could be genocide and the Palestinians had a right to be protected from such genocidal acts.
Netanyahu and his right-wing government seem to brand all Palestinians as Hamas terrorists and deserve to die.
Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israel deny all the charges and condemn the allegations. However, this a great shame on the Israeli people and nation after what the Jewish people suffered in WWII.
Not all Israelis agree with the war of retaliation and retribution that is causing enormous grief, suffering and loss to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
As soon as the aerial bombing began in Gaza, many thousands of the members of the organization Jewish Voice for Peace spoke out against the war. They work for a peaceful solution, which many believe to be the adoption of a “two-state solution.”
They are proud Jewish people with thousands of supporters and they say the war is “not in their name.” They make it clear that being Jewish does not mean unquestioned support for Israel. They soundly reject all Israeli government supporters that try to brand any critic of Israel’s policies and action as being antisemitism. (To be continued)/PN
