Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity.
The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war.
The rounding up of Palestinian males in Gaza and photographing them stripped to their underwear drew condemnation in December, with the US calling the images “deeply disturbing”.
Relatives of many of the men photographed recognised them and said they had nothing to do with Hamas. Israel’s military was later accused of staging footage of men surrendering weapons.
Oh look. Openly stating they’re going to commit more war crimes. Can we stop sending them Aid now?
The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah
So almost none of the men and only “some” of the women and children? Yeah, fuck you, Israel, you genocidal fascists.
It’s okay Palestinians can self replicate. This totally wouldn’t wipe out an entire people’s.
Penis = Threat
The gun is good?
military age
In the Nakba, that was 10-50
Totally not a prison tho…or genocide…or war crimes.
