There was little shelter and barely any services in al-Mawasi when the Abu Hatab family arrived seeking sanctuary from the intensifying bombardment around their homes in Khan Yunis.
But al-Mawasi was the one place they had been told they would be safe. From early November Israel urged the civilian population of Gaza evacuate to the narrow, sandy coastal strip the size of Heathrow airport.
On Wednesday night, the bombardment followed them to the so-called safe zone, when shelling rained down on their flimsy tents as they slept.
“They dropped leaflets and told us to come here, that this was truly the one safe place,” Bahaa Abu Hatab, one of the survivors said. “My brother took his children to protect them from the occupation’s missiles, but here they were martyred anyway, in this ‘safe’ place, in the tent that my brother set up in this field.”
At least 14 Palestinians, including nine children, were killed in strikes on al-Mawasi early on Thursday, according to the Hamas-run ministry of health in Gaza.
A group of people claiming that they have some divine or superior right to land while exterminating those who don’t believe in what they believe in. Rounding up people and putting them into camps only to kill them anyway. Exterminating hostages. Committing untold war crimes and crimes against humanity. Separating civilians based off of religious beliefs and punishing them because they do not line up with yours. Creating giant open air prisons where people are expected to live out the rest of their lives and where they’re killed for the slightest provocation. A military force that is using any reason it can, all weak as hell, to continue to murder people who had already surrendered.
Likud is another word for Nazi. The Israeli Government copied their papers and changed Aryan to Jewish and then used it as a fucking framework.
