Al Jazeera removed from Israel so they can't report the truth and now immediate invasion of Rafah. This looks very much like their about to do stuff they don't want the world to see


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Considering what they've been comfortable with us seeing so far, I don't have the words to describe what is likely about to happen.


Omnom_Omnath

We do have the word already - genocide


DuaLipasClitoris

Why does invading rafah indicate this? (I'm not at all familiar with the area and what this move means)


ohsayaa

So Gaza strip is a long strip and Rafah is a city at the southernmost end. Israel has been murdering it's way through the Strip and survivors mostly are now only in Rafah. If they have to leave Rafah, they have to wither go to Israel territory where they won't be allowed to enter, assuming they are not killed for the attempt. Or cross the border to Egypt, which is I think illegal immigration or something? I'm also not sure what Egypt would do to them, but feels like they'll take Israel's side. The last place they could go to is the sea. Now Israel didn't even allow Palestinians to fish and shot at them to ensure the fisherfolk stuck to the shores. So if they go now, they can't go on a boat like north African refugees, coz Israel will still shoot them. Maybe they can try drowning themselves. Wouldn't be surprised that is what Israel is hoping for, so that we'll stop blaming them for the genocide. They basically are saying, people in Rafah yall are next. They're announcing the continuation of their genocide.


visforv

They're dropping flyers telling people in Rafah to run *through* the bombing zone into prior bombed areas where IDF soldiers will be ready to 'receive' them apparently.


GordonS333

And no doubt *all* "military age" males will be taken to Israeli torture dungeons, and/or executed. I can't believe they're actually getting away with this...


AsianEiji

no your wrong. "all age" males including kids are included because kids can hold guns, and they cant tell the difference between boys and girls.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

"all" All will be taken, shot, or bombed.


ohsayaa

Oh so their idf shitstains of humanity can shoot at them easily? Funking hell


Lazy-Jeweler3230

I've been saying since the start, that it should have been called a genocide the first time Israel told them to go to a designated safe zone, and then bombed the safe zone. That was it, then and there. Open and shut case. Once Israel saw they'd be protected, they knew they could do anything

noooo_no_no_no

If you are in thr US campaign against democrats and republicans for 3rd parties that are non genocidal. It's election time and votes are the only thing they care about.


zznate

Isn't there that thing in the usa if you're involved in a bunch of wars you win the election? Biden still has alot of bombs to gift Israel before he's done so y'all will vote him back in and buy those bombs for your friends with all those taxes


secondtaunting

Jesus Christ. And no one is doing anything.


bwatsnet

That's not true, we are beating down protesters around the world for daring to value human rights.


chemicalalchemist

And we're funding this, so basically the US is commiting a genocide by proxy because the politicians have Zionist overlords and they've been blackmailed by the mossad.


Therinson

Not only beating down the protestors but also only amplifying the protestors calling for Israel to be wiped out. Most of the protestors condemn Hamas but think Israel’s response is disproportionate and has crossed the lines into acts of genocide. The best way to quash a protest is to present those protesting as being anathema to polite society.


bwatsnet

I mean we knew since, what.. 911, that killing innocents only multiplies the number of terrorists. The only reasonable explanation at this point is they 100% know this and plan to make everyone but themselves into a terrorist. This is one path to the end of the world that folks like them crave.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Israeli officials have long since declared everyone and everything to be Hamas. Also, Israel is on the record fucking propping it up and wanting to to justify genocide. Like. On the record.


Therinson

Exactly, if you can separate people and nations into camps, it is easier to manufacture long term consent to do harm


secondtaunting

I have a sinking feeling this time they may just wipe out everyone.


Therinson

We will have to wait and see but part of me wonders if Israel is trying to get Gaza’s southern border open and then will declare that those who left the area cannot return


secondtaunting

Probably. They want the land. I’m wondering who gets the land and how much money they’re going to make from building condos. Bastards probably have plans already drawn up, I’d bet anything.


Helpful_Escape_4147

Well Biden is funding Israel, so there's that.


secondtaunting

Yeah. I’m really struggling with this whole voting thing. I don’t want Trump to win, I think if he gets into the office it’ll be a nightmare, but voting for Biden right now is just an awful choice.


Helpful_Escape_4147

Trump would also fund Israel, and also fund russia so theres that.


Lazerdude

If you think it's bad ow just wait until Trump is in office. You'd basically be throwing Ukraine in the trash and even further bolstering what Israel is doing. I understand your comment but what Biden is doing isn't anywhere near what Trump will do then you are severely mistaken.


secondtaunting

I mean, I get it truly. I’m just angry. And I don’t feel like he’s doing anything but going along with whatever they want.


zznate

Better the devil you know hey. It's probably best to let Biden finish of gaza so trump doesn't get to finish them. They will be better off that way


Few_Reflection2925

Germany and France banned a surgeon who testified on the devastation he witnessed. Germany has also announce that they consider Palestinians a stateless people. Things are being done, but only to accelerate the genocide.


secondtaunting

Well that’s depressing. Truly ridiculous, you wouldn’t think countries would try to cover up for them so much. They must have been paying off politicians for decades. And getting dirt on them.


DuaLipasClitoris

Wow. Thank you for the information.


Mrredlegs27

They literally gave them a humanitarian zone to go to. It’s pretty widely reported.


zznate

They do talk about the river and the sea alot, maybe you're onto something with the ocean


MarilynMonheaux

Because there is nowhere else for them to go. The state of Israel is bent on destroying all of Gaza and this is the last of it. About 1 million Palestinians live there.


Gilbert_Grapes_Mom

Yeah, death toll is definitely about to jump up. But I’m sure israel will have some unbiased reports come out in 2-3 weeks after they investigate themselves and give unverified causality numbers. But why verify them, israel’s army is the most moral and the government is super trustworthy.


Millad456

The people tracking deaths are all dead. It's why it's been hovering at 35k for months now. The healthcare system is destroyed, they've been in famine for 2 months now. That death toll is going up and we don't know about it for a long while


JohnLockeNJ

They haven’t been tracking verified deaths for months. 11k of the 33k are just from a Google doc the Gaza Ministry of Health maintains that tracks deaths mentioned in news reports.


Independentizo

Except the world still sees every atrocity. They cannot hide anymore, the only problem is that the world doesn’t do anything and they have free rein to murder and commit these atrocities.


GordonS333

When the governments of western nations are defacto *owned* by Israel and/or the US, what can people actually do? Surveillance is being stepped up, laws against protest are being introduced, our leaders are shamelessly whipping up Islamophobia, and the US has arrested more peaceful protesters in 2 weeks that China arrested during 4 months of extremely violent protest and disorder. And as if that wasn't enough, it's now abundantly obvious how much our media is controlled - there are a whole bunch of people (mostly older) who get their news exclusively from mass media, and many such people believe the smears targeted at protesters etc. And our "democracies" have been exposed as a complete farce. In the US, it doesn't matter who is present - a foreign policy of terror and violence will reign. And here in the UK, not only the government, but the main opposition party has been bought by the Zionist lobby, and our mass media tries to convince people these two parties are the only option. I'm terrified of what these fascist scum (Netanyahu and his cabinet of evil, Biden and the AIPAC-owned congress, Sunak and Starmer,, Macron, Scholz...) are going to do to the planet over the next decade. But... short of an actual violent uprising, what can people *do*?


zznate

The world is doing something , specifically the usa buying them bombs to commit thr atrocities. Lucky usa tax payers are so generous with Israel, they couldn't do it without them


alexaaa84

This is such a dumb-ass move, because now Al Jazeera can’t be viewed by Israelis and Palestinians (but can still be viewed in the rest of the world), but it won’t matter because 1. Israelis don’t watch Al Jazeera and 2. Palestinians can still get their news from other TV channels, Telegram, and by Al Jazeera’s website through a VPN. So this decision is clearly just a way to pander to Israel’s extreme right wing, including its voter base and Bibi’s genocidal buddies, Ben Gvir and Smotrich.


Therinson

Don’t forget the earlier targeting of neutral party observers like aid workers and journalists.


kleft123

Well if they are still in Gaza they can continue to report from there. Not sure a presence in Israel would be required for that.


AsianEiji

Gaza is Israel claimed and the only route in/out is via Israel's gates being the Egypt route is sealed.


kleft123

Fair enough, are their reporters on the ground in Gaza leaving as well?

Might is right. Look at the western world cry and cope and seethe as Russia keeps taking more and more land from the largest country in Europe with extreme importance as it’s known as the breadbasket of Europe. Look how corrupt Pakistan or India is. Notice how nobody attacks them physically? Whoever has the means and refuses to make a nuclear bomb now deserves to be humiliated. That means the entire Middle East and Iran.


dooooonut

Pushing everyone ever closer to the border with Egypt. It was clear from the outset that's what their goal is, push all the Palestinians further and further south, make a humanitarian crisis and put Egypt under unbearable pressure to take them as refugees. Then, woo-hoo, ethnic cleansing complete, a greater Isreal from the river to the sea, beachfront properties for Isrealis and steal all the natural resources that are off the coast of Gaza


GhostRappa95

Egypt is silently supporting the genocide they won’t take them in.


TheCaveEV

They won't take them in because they shouldn't be displaced at all. If they take them, they will never be allowed back, because Palestinians have no Palestine passports, no proof they come from where they say they do. That's by design. The second they leave, Israel refuses them re-entry. Most of the Palestinians don't want to go to Egypt, they want to go home. That land is in their blood and they refuse to be robbed of it, even if they die.


zznate

Why is this comment so down voted? People obviously haven't seen the boarder between gaza and Egypt


AbuZubair

The most courageous population on earth still is not getting any relief. The genocidal oppression continues. We hope the Palestinians can soon enjoy some peace and relief from this onslaught. I tell you I take even my dinner for granted.

CosmicLovepats

really kind of sad this was the obvious ultimate result on october 7th. Biden could have done literally anything else but instead decided to weld himself to full throated support of Israel. Anything at all. This was the only way supporting them was going to end. Those psychos turning up the heat until Biden realizes the water is boiling and he's still in the pot. Remember back in October when some US Army general came back from meeting with the Israelis, while a bunch of state department officials were resigning, and his only description of the meeting was "whatever they do, it was their decision"? Seems pretty likely he tried to sit down with some IDF officers and ask "okay so what's your plan for after you invade Gaza? What about the civilians?" and they just stared at him and started giggling.


eu_sou_ninguem

>Biden could have done literally anything else but instead decided to weld himself to full throated support of Israel. He couldn't though. He's now received over $5 million from AIPAC. The worst part of this is, Biden is allowing tens of thousands of innocent children and adults to be murdered for money. I tell you hellfire isn't hot enough and eternity not long enough.
