Reuters: Why is Israel Attacking Southern Gaza
Israel told Gazans to flee to the southern part of Gaza and now they are attacking and bombing areas they told people to flee towards just weeks ago. I will reiterate that Israel has a right to defend itself and fight back against the brutal, barbaric attacks lead by Hamas. They do not have a right however to cut people off of basic human rights like food, water, electricity, shelter. They do not have a right to chase everyone out of their homes and bomb them into rubble or hold people hostage at a hospital, with no ability to leave the facility at all as is happing at the al-Shifa hospital.
This is a humanitarian crisis that is only going to get worse. We cannot continue to support Israel at all costs in their apparent plans to invade and occupy Gaza. We have to be willing to draw a line in the sand at some point and call out what they are doing.
