Gaza is developing into a giant concentration camp, with death squads who are nothing other than a cross-section of Israeli society. They have rediscovered a lust for sadism and murder the likes of which the civilized world has never seen. And the world is watching.

>Terez: not "developing", but rather has been since the beginning of the israeli siege since 2007!

The problem is nobody cares. They feel like once the Gazans are gone their problems are solved. And they may be right. Except they're going to have to keep repeating this across the rest of the region. God willing they run out of soldiers.

What an immensely powerful lie was told so long ago -- "A land without people." It has caused a mass blindness that disables people to the extend they can stand right before people and not see people at all. Now wonder when these non-existents unexpectedly loom into view in disconnected flashes there is fright and lunging to destroy. Such people are not supposed to exist here according to all that was taught as holy truth. But how do we save these children and their parents now?

The evil of the weaponisation of humanitarian aid in the service of ethnic cleansing and genocide boggles the mind. The people of Gaza are not only used as laboratory animals to test new weapons on, but are also the subjects of insanely cruel experiments carried out by sadists like Giora Eiland, and others lurking in the shadow, serving the war criminal-in-chief Netanyahu.

And this is the alternative to UNRWA? Disgusting and evil. There is no other word to be dehumanizing Palestinians just like Hamas is dehumanizing the hostages. If it weren't a Kahanist Israeli coalition government dictating events in Gaza with this needless continuing war we wouldn't be seeing scenes of such luring-the-bait strategy in attempt to transfer civilians. Forget about calling the humanitarian aid organization " Gaza Humanitarian Foundation " - rather from now on it should be called the pitiful Luring-the-Bait Foundation! This is a Jewish coalition government? This is more like evil, nothing Jewish about it.
