There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.
Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.
If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.

farewell😭
Today is Friday 28-06-2024
Farewell to the mothers of martyrs in the Gaza Strip. As I write this post, massacres are taking place now in the area next to us, which is the Rafah highways, and the bodies are in the roads and ambulances cannot reach them. We are now in a state of displacement, danger is approaching us, and we do not have the basic necessities of life.
I hope you will look at us with compassion and humanity, and alleviate our suffering a little. Support and share our story on your page.

This is Rafah which the occupation army is preparing to enter and these small square-shaped plots are the tents of the displaced and they contain more than a million displaced people,reality on the ground is much worse than it appears from above,as there is no greater suffering..
A new gruesome massacre that Israel had committed in a displacement camp in Mawasi. If you're finding the name Mawasi too familiar, it is because just a few days ago, Palestinians in Gaza were sharing the orders they received from Israel to move to that area specifically in Khanyounis.
At least 100 Palestinians have been killed and the number is very likely going to rise, considering there is only one hospital in the area, Nasser hospital, which is barely functioning with no fuel to generate power, not enough beds or manpower. Even mortuary refrigerators are reportedly too full.
The massacre took place in the very early hours of the morning when families were still in their tents, before embarking on their daily search for food and water. Israel knows this and yet deliberately timed this attack as if to maximise the number of victims.
The makeshift tents, made from plastic and nylon, were attacked by three F16 airstrikes, 10 drone strikes, and followed by live ammunition fired from quadcopters. The magnitude of this massacre is so massive that many families were actually killed by being buried by mountains of sand as a result of the explosions, which you can see in this footage of the early moments of the attack. A woman testified to one of the correspondents that she had her 2 month old baby in her arm but he flew out of her arms due to the huge impact of the explosions and that she was still looking for him.
Mawasi is one of the most densely populated areas in Gaza with over one million people crammed in it. Israel's weaponry, including the drones and quadcopters that were used in this massacre, have the ability to detect who is in the area. We have seen this pattern repeatedly for the past 9 months, so make no mistake that this is an annihilation campaign against Palestinians done literally in broad daylight.
Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.
Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.
Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.
Don’t fucking look away from Rafah, don’t look away, if you are willfully looking away then you should be ashamed of yourself.
Fuck the Met Gala, it means nothing but a distraction for those of you who are willingly looking away.
The Palestinians need our attention, they need our support, they need us to witness and remember and help when it is asked for and when we can.
All Eyes on Rafah, All Eyes on Palestine!
