Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

“The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said.

The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said.

The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format

So uh... When is the U.S. and Europe going to withdraw support for Israel? I mean, genocide doesn't seem very in vogue nowadays, you know...

Wait for China to get there first. China doesn't actually give a shit about these people, but if they choose the moment well they'll make the US look like the baddies, and then the Europe/USA will be stuck: withdraw and look like a fool on the world stage or stay put and support genocide.

they’ll make the US look like the baddies

As if they aren’t already… our gov’t has been supporting Israel while they terrorize Palestine for decades.

They will.

Soon.

Just like they stopped selling weapons to Saudi Arabia when they were found to be blowing up buses full of civilians in Yemen.

I mean, it would be hypocrisy otherwise.

Right?

RIGHT???!!
