6. It sure was, but strangely I have not seen it regurgitated ad nauseum as before.

I wonder why.

Unspeakable intentional cruelty. Who does this? Who can stand by and allow it??

A ground invasion and intensified aerial bombardment of a crowded rubble-city of a million tent-dwelling starving, water-deprived, ill people who have no means of "evacuating" safely, or are too sick, malnourished, old or afraid to leave -especially now, after another strike on the supposed "enhanced services" safe zone...

The timing of this attack is surreal too. Claim that you want people to evacuate and go to a safe zone, entice them with "enhanced services" - and the very NEXT DAY bomb that safe zone, killing 9 including 5 children! I really hate to think this was a deliberate ploy to scare people from evacuating but I'm willing to believe anything now. It IS a genocide so the more killed the "better", right?

As for the "enhanced services" in the "safe zone of al-Mawasi"?

The head of the Red Cross, Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, said on Saturday that there is no safe way to conduct a mass evacuation of Gaza City and that no other part of Gaza had the capacity to absorb such mass displacement. Earlier in August, the UN human rights office spokesperson Thameen al-Kheetan said that Palestinians in al-Mawasi had “little or no access to essential services and supplies, including food, water, electricity and tents”.

Many residents of Gaza City have refused to leave, suspicious of what awaits them in southern Gaza after Israel has attacked so-called humanitarian zones in the past.


Would any orher country but Israel be allowed to treat a civilian population with such malice and cruelty - with no repercussions, sanctions, or an attempt by the international community to save the civilians? What the hell is going on? Are we living in Omelas and the Palestinians are the child in the basement?? I'm walking away...we all should.
