“What Israeli forces are doing in besieged North Gaza cannot be allowed to continue,” the human rights official said.

Israel could kill everyone left in Northern Gaza if its assault on the enclave continues, a United Nations relief official warned on Saturday

“Hospitals have been hit, and health workers have been detained. Shelters have been emptied and burned down. First responders have been prevented from saving people from under the rubble. Families have been separated, and men and boys are being taken away by the truckload,”

Msuya estimated that Israel’s actions in the north had killed hundreds and displaced tens of thousands. According to Al Jazeera, an Israeli siege on the north that began earlier in October has killed around 640.

“The Biden-Harris administration must stop the flow of U.S. weapons to Israel which constitutes a necessary step to halting Israel’s ongoing war crimes,” IMEU wrote on social media Saturday. “It’s time for an arms embargo now.”

    Without wading into morality, one thing I think is lost on people is that Israel is seen as the “big fish”, and while they certainly have more advanced weapons, they’re just a little dot, surrounded by countries that host millions of people that openly want to commit genocide against them. 2 billion muslims overall vs. 20 million jews. The number of muslims who would openly state they would murder every jew by their own hand if they could outnumbers the amount of jews that would say the same by a vast margin, so… its complicated. If you were encircled by those who were potentially able, and motivated to erase your existence you might make some very questionable decisions too, its easy to judge those decision from the other side of the world while not facing any danger.
