Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has ordered the Israeli military to come up with a plan for civilians sheltering in the southern city of Rafah to evacuate, his office said on Friday, clearing the way for an expected offensive into the crowded city.
“Any forceful action in Rafah would require the evacuation of the civilian population from combat zones,” the prime minister’s office said, without saying what area those zones would cover.
Israeli forces bombarded the southern Gaza border city of Rafah with airstrikes, killing multiple civilians, Palestinian media reported on Thursday, a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said the military was preparing to advance on the area, which is crowded with people who have fled other parts of the Strip.
The strikes heightened fears among the more than a million Palestinians crowded into Rafah, which lies along a closed Egyptian border, as Israel’s army has repeatedly warned that it plans to push further south in its ground invasion in Gaza in what it says is an attempt to defeat Hamas.
The Biden administration said on Thursday that it would not at this point support Israeli plans for a military operation in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza where more than half of the enclave’s total population has sought shelter, and both a White House spokesman and the U.N. secretary general warned of catastrophe should Israel attack.
“Given the circumstances and the conditions there that we see right now, we think a military operation at this time would be a disaster for those people,” a White House spokesman, John Kirby, told reporters.

Mate you operate on like 10 different lemmy instances and were banned from this very community 13 days ago for “multiple violations”.

Just to name the few I could find with minimal effort.
But because your posts are either removed or deleted and fragmented across so many accounts, it’s damn near impossible to go back and find specific posts to quote of your hate filled comments towards Palestinians.
Even the offence that got your banned is already missing. Shit for all anyone knows, you probably use these multiple accounts to circumvent the bans you receive.
You can hide and obfuscate your history all you want, but we have memories and many of us know what we’ve seen you say in the past.

You posted from .zip last week, lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, and lemmus 3 weeks ago. and you stopped using .ml because you were banned
Yes I literally cannot search because it gets removed and Lemmy instances aren’t cached on Google like reddit was.
Why don’t you tell me what multiple violations you were banned for? Because it’s not tracked anywhere I can find.
Really says a lot that only your comments have been removed not philos
It’s forced relocation, which is a war crime (Trail of Tears is another example).
You don’t have to be a Hamas apologist to see that obvious fact, but you DO have to be a genocide apologist to automatically paint all criticism of the Israeli government’s crimes as Hamas apologia. Be better.

How many different forced evacuations does it take before you see the pattern?
