Good morning. Spare a thought today for the children of Gaza, who anxiously await Israel's ground invasion.

An Israeli air raid hits the southern Gaza city of Rafah overnight, killing 22 people, including 18 children, health officials said Sunday. Israel's near-daily strikes on Rafah come as the US is close to approving additional military aid to Israel. AP reports: https://flip.it/QDJs7T

‘What would Britain do if a hostile nation flattened one of our consulates?’

Foreign Secretary David Cameron after condemning Iran: ‘We would take very strong action.’

One set of rules for the global south, another set of rules for the US and Europe.

In fact, the West's track record shows they'd bomb to oblivion civilian infrastructure and population.

In a previous post I had mentioned that all of my students in #Gaza appear to have been killed since the massacre in #Rafah. Thank G-d, my student Mohammad has since appeared, having lost his remaining means to connect to the internet, but he and his family remain alive — struggling to survive, fleeing intermittent drone attacks on their tent city, and bombing campaigns by the occupation forces, but still thankful to have survived thus far. My friend Sith and I have set up a #GoFundMe for him, please consider giving whatever you can; he has lost everything, and is trying to care for a family of 6 from their tent in South Gaza.

Please boost to help spread the word and help Mohammad rebuild his life from the ruins of Gaza.

Please give whatever you can.

“If #Netanyahu were to order the [#IDF] into #Rafah at scale …& make no provision for #civilians or for #HumanitarianAid, I would vote to condition #aid to #Israel. I’ve never said that before. I’ve never been here before,”Coons said.

…Among the changes #Biden wants to see…are “a dramatic increase in #humanitarian aid getting in, additional crossings opened up, & a reduction in #violence against #civilians.”

Sec of State #Blinken reiterated the msg in Brussels on Thurs. & Sen #ChrisCoons, a close #Biden ally & a staunch supporter of #Israel, said the #UnitedStates is “at that point” where #conditions must be placed on #MilitaryAid to Israel.
The changing dynamic comes as Israel plans to invade the southern #Gaza city of #Rafah, where up to 1.5M #Palestinians are sheltering in decrepit conditions after fleeing there under Israeli orders. #US ofcls have warned Israel against a major campaign in Rafah.
