The unimaginable tragedy happened on the first day of the new year of our Chinese.
Gaza is bleeding in the north, then in the centre, and now in the last refuge in the south. Or we can sayThe first tragic battle of the Year of the Dragon began.
I took a look, and the big headline of the CNN report was:"unimaginable destruction in southern Gaza".
The Reuters report lamentedRafa is facing a "bloodbath"!
It's a bloodbath indeed!
When the Israeli army attacked northern Gaza, it ordered all Palestinians to flee to the south, and large swathes of buildings in Gaza were bombed into rubble, leaving 85 per cent of the 2.3 million people homeless. The tiny Rafah has seen an influx of 1 million Palestinian refugees, five or six times the original population, many huddled in tents or in the desert.
Now, the Israeli army has begun to attack Rafah in a big way.
The Associated Press report is hereOn February 10, the first day of the Chinese New Year for us Chinese, at least 28 people were killed in Rafah, including 10 children, the youngest of whom was only three months old.
What kind of human tragedy is this?!
On one side are planes, artillery, tanks, and all kinds of bombardment, and on the other side are poor refugees who have nowhere to run.
The international community was in an uproar.
Even German Foreign Minister Baerbock, who is so hardcore in support of Israel, said on February 9:An Israeli army's assault on Rafah would be a foreseeable humanitarian catastrophe. The people of Gaza cannot ...... disappear in a vacuum
Actually, it would! Israel's fighting in northern Gaza has already made 280,000 Palestinians have completely disappeared from the human world. This intensive killing is the most tragic event in the Middle East in decades!
But the misery continues, because in Rafah, people have nowhere to run but to face death.
The head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, Lazzarini, warned:In Rafah, people are feeling more and more anxious, more and more panicked, and they don't know if they can go to **.
The Secretary-General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, Egeland, appealed:In a huge refugee camp, there is no room for war, and Israel's actions will surely shed blood.
Hamas warned:The Israeli offensive will lead to "tens of thousands" of ** in Rafah
What is the attitude of the United States?
The outside world has noticed that the United States has also begun to strongly oppose it. Biden has said it publicly,Israel's reaction "overdone".
But the United States only pays lip service to it, but Israel still has a lot to say:The goal of the war to eradicate Hamas cannot be achieved without the elimination of the four Hamas battalions in Rafah.
In this world, Israel will fight when it says it will fight, and Hamas is not good at stubble, the West looks at each other, and the United States downplays it. But the world has seen a double standard, a naked double standard, what morality? What democracy? What freedom? What we see is more bloodshed, killing, and Western hypocrisy.
In this world, meanness is the pass of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I saw another sceneIn a European basketball match, the Irish women's basketball team refused to shake hands with the Israeli women's basketball team.
Why? The reason is simple: Ireland is the most sympathetic Western country to Palestine. The tragedy in Gaza made the Irish girls see the past when the Irish were colonized and killed by the British.
The tragedy is repeating itself, and the world is watching the killing continue in Gaza, watching one lovely child after another fall in pools of blood, watching one mother after another cry out in despair, and watching one desperate mother after another die in the bombardment.
A desperate Palestinian lamented to the West"We're exhausted. Seriously, we're exhausted. Israel can do whatever it wants. I'm sitting in my tent, and I'm going to die in my tent......”
What a desperate world it is!
