Rafah was just two months ago home to 1,400,000 people and now it is home to a mere 65,000. More than half of all the buildings in Rafah are gone. The corridors near Egypt have been burnt to the ground. This all clearly violates Biden's so-called "red line" but no action has been taken at all.
Commentator on French TV today had the greatest line:
"America needs to stop painting red lines. They had red lines in Syria, and still the regime that murdered and gassed its own people face no consequences.
America's red line is a red herring."
So, the IDF destroyed all the infrastructure at the crossing, right? I never heard about actual fighting there, so I assume IDF troops just burned and bulldozed everything after they took over. Did they do it just for fun? As part of a strategy? Am I missing something?
80 years ago the US turned a blind eye to the Holocaust, though the full extent of the horror was initially largely hidden.
Now we arm and enable a genocide that is in plain sight.
It has been 30 days since ridiculous ICJ ordered Israel to immediately halt military operations in Rafah.
The „highest“ court in the world, which for 30 days and counting doesn’t give a shit about its own orders!!
That the NYT calls this a battle, is as absurd as the genocide itself, and a form of genocide denial. Then again, that has been this rag’s MO throughout,and well before, October.
