Middle East Israeli military orders Gazans in parts of eastern Rafah to ‘evacuate immediately’

Al Jazeera removed from Israel so they can't report the truth and now immediate invasion of Rafah. This looks very much like their about to do stuff they don't want the world to see

Considering what they've been comfortable with us seeing so far, I don't have the words to describe what is likely about to happen.

Why does invading rafah indicate this? (I'm not at all familiar with the area and what this move means)
91
u/ohsayaa May 06 '24
So Gaza strip is a long strip and Rafah is a city at the southernmost end. Israel has been murdering it's way through the Strip and survivors mostly are now only in Rafah.
If they have to leave Rafah, they have to wither go to Israel territory where they won't be allowed to enter, assuming they are not killed for the attempt. Or cross the border to Egypt, which is I think illegal immigration or something? I'm also not sure what Egypt would do to them, but feels like they'll take Israel's side. The last place they could go to is the sea. Now Israel didn't even allow Palestinians to fish and shot at them to ensure the fisherfolk stuck to the shores. So if they go now, they can't go on a boat like north African refugees, coz Israel will still shoot them. Maybe they can try drowning themselves. Wouldn't be surprised that is what Israel is hoping for, so that we'll stop blaming them for the genocide.
They basically are saying, people in Rafah yall are next. They're announcing the continuation of their genocide.

u/visforv May 06 '24
They're dropping flyers telling people in Rafah to run through the bombing zone into prior bombed areas where IDF soldiers will be ready to 'receive' them apparently.

u/Lazy-Jeweler3230 May 06 '24
I've been saying since the start, that it should have been called a genocide the first time Israel told them to go to a designated safe zone, and then bombed the safe zone. That was it, then and there. Open and shut case.
Once Israel saw they'd be protected, they knew they could do anything

u/Therinson May 06 '24
Not only beating down the protestors but also only amplifying the protestors calling for Israel to be wiped out. Most of the protestors condemn Hamas but think Israel’s response is disproportionate and has crossed the lines into acts of genocide. The best way to quash a protest is to present those protesting as being anathema to polite society.
11
u/bwatsnet May 06 '24
I mean we knew since, what.. 911, that killing innocents only multiplies the number of terrorists. The only reasonable explanation at this point is they 100% know this and plan to make everyone but themselves into a terrorist. This is one path to the end of the world that folks like them crave.

Israeli officials have long since declared everyone and everything to be Hamas. Also, Israel is on the record fucking propping it up and wanting to to justify genocide.

Yeah, death toll is definitely about to jump up. But I’m sure israel will have some unbiased reports come out in 2-3 weeks after they investigate themselves and give unverified causality numbers. But why verify them, israel’s army is the most moral and the government is super trustworthy.

u/Millad456 May 06 '24
The people tracking deaths are all dead. It's why it's been hovering at 35k for months now. The healthcare system is destroyed, they've been in famine for 2 months now.
That death toll is going up and we don't know about it for a long while

u/JohnLockeNJ May 06 '24
They haven’t been tracking verified deaths for months. 11k of the 33k are just from a Google doc the Gaza Ministry of Health maintains that tracks deaths mentioned in news reports.

u/GordonS333 May 06 '24
When the governments of western nations are defacto owned by Israel and/or the US, what can people actually do? Surveillance is being stepped up, laws against protest are being introduced, our leaders are shamelessly whipping up Islamophobia, and the US has arrested more peaceful protesters in 2 weeks that China arrested during 4 months of extremely violent protest and disorder.
And as if that wasn't enough, it's now abundantly obvious how much our media is controlled - there are a whole bunch of people (mostly older) who get their news exclusively from mass media, and many such people believe the smears targeted at protesters etc.
And our "democracies" have been exposed as a complete farce. In the US, it doesn't matter who is present - a foreign policy of terror and violence will reign. And here in the UK, not only the government, but the main opposition party has been bought by the Zionist lobby, and our mass media tries to convince people these two parties are the only option.
I'm terrified of what these fascist scum (Netanyahu and his cabinet of evil, Biden and the AIPAC-owned congress, Sunak and Starmer,, Macron, Scholz...) are going to do to the planet over the next decade.
But... short of an actual violent uprising, what can people do?

u/alexaaa84 May 06 '24
This is such a dumb-ass move, because now Al Jazeera can’t be viewed by Israelis and Palestinians (but can still be viewed in the rest of the world), but it won’t matter because 1. Israelis don’t watch Al Jazeera and 2. Palestinians can still get their news from other TV channels, Telegram, and by Al Jazeera’s website through a VPN. So this decision is clearly just a way to pander to Israel’s extreme right wing, including its voter base and Bibi’s genocidal buddies, Ben Gvir and Smotrich.

They won't take them in because they shouldn't be displaced at all. If they take them, they will never be allowed back, because Palestinians have no Palestine passports, no proof they come from where they say they do. That's by design. The second they leave, Israel refuses them re-entry. Most of the Palestinians don't want to go to Egypt, they want to go home. That land is in their blood and they refuse to be robbed of it, even if they die.

really kind of sad
this was the obvious ultimate result on october 7th. Biden could have done literally anything else but instead decided to weld himself to full throated support of Israel. Anything at all. This was the only way supporting them was going to end. Those psychos turning up the heat until Biden realizes the water is boiling and he's still in the pot.
Remember back in October when some US Army general came back from meeting with the Israelis, while a bunch of state department officials were resigning, and his only description of the meeting was "whatever they do, it was their decision"? Seems pretty likely he tried to sit down with some IDF officers and ask "okay so what's your plan for after you invade Gaza? What about the civilians?" and they just stared at him and started giggling.
