In obedience to Israel, the Western political and media class is isolating itself from public opinion on Gaza in ways hard to believe. But here are a few examples.
On Thursday, South African representatives urged the World Court to see that Israel has not followed its order to prevent genocidal acts by its military forces.
Hundreds of thousands of people are being forced to flee, once again, after more than half of Gaza’s population took sanctuary in the border town of Rafah. This is part of Israel’s sadistic playbook.
The World Health Organization said in a statement Friday that an Israeli incursion into Rafah in southern Gaza would lead to “substantial additional mortality and morbidity.”
The “temporary pier” being built on the Mediterranean coast of Gaza is not there to alleviate the famine, but to herd Palestinians onto ships and into permanent exile.
An Israeli invasion of Rafah will not alter the battlefield in favor of the Israeli army, but it will be horrific for the displaced Palestinians, writes Ramzy Baroud.
Pretoria’s urgent request to the World Court on Tuesday calls for further action as Israeli shelling and airstrikes killed more than 100 Palestinian people across Rafah overnight Monday.
