It turns my stomach when I witness the world's inaction, while Israel commits war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine, supported by heartless countries, against the will of the majorities of their Citizenry. Neighboring countries must send their military into Gaza, not to fight but to protect innocent lives, What are these cowards who stand by, as if paralyzed, are they not complicit in these murders of innocent children?
Other than spewing empty words, the UN must call for action to protect innocent lives; it is better late than never. If not, let them all go home and save the world from their illusion that they exist to assure world peace. So far, they really have done nothing of consequence to stop Genocide.

"Relentless Israeli attacks have turned the Gaza Strip into the world's largest cemetery for women and children, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Tuesday, as he harshly criticized Tel Aviv for its violent policies usurping the rights of Palestinians.
Speaking at the 15th Traditional Iftar (fast-breaking) Dinner with ambassadors in the capital Ankara, Erdoğan said Israel's indiscriminate attacks against Gaza killed over 32,000 Palestinians and made the blockaded enclave the world's biggest cemetery for women and children.
"I am not the only one saying this, but whoever visits the area, says this," the president said.
He noted that Muslims have solemnly welcomed Ramadan due to ongoing tragedies, including the one in Gaza, as he said over 32,000 Palestinians were killed and over 73,000 others were injured in Israeli attacks.
Pointing out to Israel's yearslong oppressive policies, the president said Gaza had been turned into an open-air prison due to Tel Aviv's 17-yearlong blockade.
He also criticized the administration of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it a "homicide squad."
"And today, they will not be able to stop us from calling them oppressors. Israeli officials should be brought to account for Palestinian babies dying due to hunger, rather than attacking us to hide the truth about genocide," he said.
Erdoğan went on to say that Israeli officials, who are responsible for massacring innocent people waiting in line to receive flour and bread, "can have nothing to say against Türkiye" and he added: "No matter what the Israeli government does, it won't be able to conceal the fact that it's a murderous, oppressive, rogue, fascist administration."
Noting that countries need to put more pressure on Israel, Erdoğan said it even has the nerve to threaten countries that call for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. He blamed Western countries for "spoiling" Israel to a point where international organizations are also paying the price, besides Palestinian people.
Earlier on Tuesday, Erdoğan lambasted Israel and its Western supporters in the face of the Netanyahu administration's reckless attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Türkiye advocates a two-state solution to the issue and is engaged in diplomatic efforts to stop the Israeli aggression that has claimed the lives of tens of thousands in the Gaza Strip."

Israel’s Security Chief Cheers Killing of Palestinian Child
ReplyDeleteTwelve-year-old Rami al-Halhouli was fatally shot while playing with fireworks in a Jerusalem refugee camp
Ben-Gvir claimed the border officer “shot a terrorist” who had tried to “use firecrackers” against Israeli forces the night prior, arguing the guard did “exactly what was expected of him” in executing the unarmed preteen.
“I salute the soldier who killed the terrorist who tried to shoot fireworks at him and the troops. This is exactly how you should act against terrorists – with determination and precision,” he added in another post.

Israel killed more children in Gaza in last 5 months than all conflicts worldwide for last 4 years: UN rapporteur
'Destroying a population from its roots. Genocide is a process, not an act, and what is happening in Gaza is a tragedy foretold,' says Francesca Albanese

Israel To Move Civilians to ‘Humanitarian Islands’ Before Invasion [This forced dislocation is also a war crime.]
Tel Aviv claims it will move the 1.5 million Palestinians sheltering in Rafah to other areas of the Strip, then attack the city.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) food distribution center in Gaza was hit by an Israeli airstrike, killing five. The bombing of the facility is the latest in a series of Israeli attacks on food distribution in Gaza. The Israeli military operations in Gaza and restrictions on aid entering the Strip have placed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians on the brink of starvation.
Witnesses, Gazan health officials, and the UN reported that Israel attacked the UNRWA warehouse in Rafah on Wednesday, killing five people, including one UNRWA worker. Officials reported that scores were injured in the attack without providing a number. The Israeli onslaught in Gaza has had a massive impact on aid workers.
One Palestinian in Rafah said the attack was particularly concerning because UNRWA sites are generally considered safer. “It’s a UNRWA center, expected to be secure,” one resident said. Over the past five months, 165 UNRWA workers have been killed, and over 150 of the agency’s buildings in Gaza have been hit.
