Rafah is a trap of death.

More than a million and a half people from Gaza have been squeezed into a small area of Rafah. Their last stand, so to speak. They are in tents with little food or water. Or they are on the street waiting for a tent. People keep messaging anyone they find on social media to ask if they are willing to set up GoFundMe accounts or donate because brokers in Egypt charge 5000 to 7000 dollars per person to get out of Rafah if they are fortunate enough to have a passport. If not, then they have the grievous task of applying. Most Gazans don’t have one. To say they are desperate is an understatement!
The Zionist Entity notified them again, telling them to evacuate due to upcoming plans for ground invasion. To where are they supposed to evacuate? The dragging out of this genocide because our government still supports it even while they tell people in interviews that they are “urging” Israel to do the right thing is just incredibly mind-numbing. What hypocritical war-mongering monsters they are.
This is the first ‘war’ (not a war, it’s a genocide) ever in the history of humanity in which refugees are trapped with nowhere to run. All others have created similar horrible circumstances, but the people under attack could flee. Either they would risk their lives taking a boat across treacherous seas or travel by land, with all the hardships that kind of journey creates. But they would go somewhere! This is the most evil thing I think I’ve ever seen.
To quote Norman Finkelstein through his tears, ” They’re killing people in a concentration camp. They can’t leave, they can’t flee….we’re headed into this place where I don’t see an exit.”
