You are literally watching the mass execution of Palestinians happening live on screen and Israhell has a carte Blanche to do whatever it wants as no one can stop or will not stop this beast! In case you haven’t cried yet today…Israel is forcing Palestinians in Rafah to flee as it begins a ground invasion that experts say will result in a “bloodbath.” Over 1.4 million Palestinians, half of them children, are currently living in Rafah after Israel forced them to flee their homes in other parts of Gaza. For weeks now, Israel has been bombing Rafah, killing entire Palestinian families in the very place it told them they would be safe.
Meanwhile, the US continues to back, fund, and arm Israel’s ongoing genocide, despite reports from countless human rights groups documenting Israel’s horrors against Palestinian civilians, including children. In case you haven’t cried yet today…Just take 5 minutes today and try and put yourself in the shoes of a parent in R@fah today. What would you be thinking? How would you try to protect your children? Where do you go when there is no where to go?
The occupation, once again, keeps showing its true colors and plans. The occupation government says it is “studying” the proposal for a ceasefire. Despite international pressure Israel still continues it’s attack on the 1.5 million people displaced in Rafah. The “evacuation” of Rafah is illegal. There are no “humanitarian” or “safe zones.” Civilians are being forcibly displaced to areas totally unsuitable to human habitation. This is a crime against humanity!!!

The fear they must be feeling. The disabled community, the parents, the pregnant mothers on their own. The father with no legs and one surviving daughter. The elderly. The graves of the children they have to leave behind, knowing the desecration that will happen. The starvation, ethnic cleansing, nowhere to flee to, after 7 months of living hell & mass murder of innocent children and women, Im beyond angry and upset, Im devastated, in shock still, & NOONE can or is stopping it!! I'm absolutely gutted! 😭😖🤮😥😓😡
Thank you Clem, for once again articulating so beautifully & adding the weight of your knowledge to what We’re feeling. This is an absolute disgrace & I’m ashamed to be an adult in our society at this time…I’ve spent my life reading/learning about atrocities in history & always wondering how people could sit by & let them happen. And now I know. It’s because of a mass level of apathy & inertia…everyone now so busy focused on the small intricacies of living their soulless life in the machine of neoliberal capitalism, that they don’t have the ability to raise their eyes & take in what’s happening & being sanctioned & supported by their govt’s in their name. And the same thing happened over history, it was just at the hands of whatever imperialist structure was in place at the time. And the masses hid behind that structure & turned their eyes then.
But we have even less excuse for turning our eyes now, as we all have extra eyes in our hands, with stories from actual people (children) living or dying in actual horror. And still we march along being distracted by the mundane trivialities.
It disgusts me…shame on our govt’s, shame on our corporations & shame on us. 😔xx
Thanks for this excellent writing Clementine. I can’t understand how so many people are okay with children being murdered and killed in their tens of thousands. And just like you’ve said, the people with the power to stop it have chosen not to. Such a disgrace.
The uni students are more at risk from the dodgy profiteering universities themselves - with the huge student debt most of them will live with, along with the declining quality of uni education - than by anything else. They are strong and brave enough to stand up for what is actually important in the world.

Applaud your courage, Clem, to not hold back 👏🏽. Raw truth spilling out of you - can feel it.
People can sit with uncomfortable, but most will avoid. Are the children only ‘our future’ when they uphold the status quo?
