What remains of Jabalia and Rafah wantonly destroyed and dozens of civilians murdered as the world’s eyes turn to Syria. Gaza must not be forgotten.

Israel has intensified its destruction of what little remained of refugee cities in the north and south of Gaza. After ordering the starving survivors of Jabaliah in the north to flee – and attacking them as they fled – and with the attention of world media diverted to its invasion of Syria, occupation forces are flattening homes that their displaced victims will never be able to return to:
And in the south, Israel is destroying entire neighbourhoods in Rafah, near the Egyptian border:
Israel is not, of course, limiting its crimes to the destruction of homes. At least ninety civilians were murdered in bombing raids on Gaza overnight. Ever complicit, Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy have not mentioned Israel’s invasion of Syria, let alone its war crimes in Gaza.
Israel and its allies hope that its successes in Syria will distract and demoralise those who stand against its genocide in Gaza. We must not succumb to either.

Lebensraum – the settler occupier wants more living space.
Would it be anti-Semitic to mention Gaza Gas Field rights at this point?

Slightly off-topic: Well done PALESTINE Action and the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign who joined forces this week to once again shut down weapons manufacturing in Edinburgh.

Port Said and Alexandria are not that far along the coast from Rafah.
