Hello, again I would like to apologize for the abundance of updates, but I need to talk about this, please try and spread this information. 

Right now, Israel is building a concentration camp in Rafah. I want the world to pay attention to this, should be frontpage news, but it never is. 

It’s already apparent that the Israeli army’s definition of the word “humanitarian” is merciless, industrialized slaughter. The Gaza “Humanitarian” Foundation we want the government to act on has massacred 700+ people lining up to get aid. These are four sites, three operate in Rafah, one operates in the Netzarim corridor, these are danger zones - under evacuation orders. Not to mention that humanitarian aid is about going to where people need it, not forcing people to walk hours and fight for food, preventing people with disabilities, elderly and children from receiving food. Food that they can hardly even cook. 

These sites open for not very long in the morning. Israeli soldiers have confessed to having shot at people who were unarmed before and after the site is open to 'disperse' the crowds. These are human beings who are starving mind you. Oxycodone (opioids) pills have even been found in some of the distributed flour. Khalil Mazen Abu Nada, a Palestinian doctor in Gaza, described it as a “means to obliterate our social awareness”. 

And Israel refuses to let this go, they refuse to meet Hamas’s demand of letting humanitarian aid flow in normally, and wish to continue with this, and have even armed criminal gangs to loot aid. 

Now, they are opening a 'Humanitarian' city in Rafah. The defense minister Israel Katz says they plan to concentrate all of Gaza’s population in a “humanitarian” zone on the ruins of Rafah. Katz says the plan involves moving 600,000 Palestinians, primarily from the Al-Muwasi area, into the new zone after security screening. Once inside, residents would not be allowed to leave. The literal definition of a concentration camp. Israel aims to weaken Hamas by targeting its leadership, seizing territory, demilitarizing the Gaza Strip - and implementing what he called “the emigration plan, which will happen.” Netanyahu is already leading efforts to explore countries willing to take Palestinians in. 

Micheal Sfard, an Israeli human rights lawyer, told The Guardian; “(Katz) laid out an operational plan for a crime against humanity. It is nothing less than that. It is all about population transfer to the southern tip of the Gaza Strip in preparation for deportation outside of the strip.

While the government still calls the deportation ‘voluntary’, people in Gaza are under so many coercive measures that no departure from the strip can be seen in legal terms as consensual.

There is a clear consensus around genocide scholars in Israel and elsewhere. “A city is a place where you have possibilities of work, of earning money, of making connections and freedom of movement.” 

There are hospitals, schools, universities and offices. This is not what they have in mind. It will not be a livable place, just as the ‘safe areas’ are unlivable now.” 

And according to Israel Hayom, an Israeli newspaper, "According to the plan, each Gazan entering the humanitarian zone will undergo inspection to ensure they carry no weapons and are not affiliated with Hamas. Consequently, those outside these zones will later be identified as Hamas terrorists, providing legal justification for their elimination.

This is clear genocidal intent.

Mass killings, starvation, destruction, systematic degradation of life and oppression, coercion, concentration camps, mass deportation and ethnic cleansing. Please continue doing all you can to demand action from your local politicians and governments, please keep signing and sharing this petition. To end on a positive note, thank you so much for 330 signatures.
