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 checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during an expected Israeli assault. The previously unreported disclosure of Israel’s construction of a ring of checkpoints around Rafah underscores how Israel is pushing ahead with plans to attack the city where over one million displaced Palestinians are sheltering in tents and makeshift camps. 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 surrounding weapons. “Israel considers every male a Hamas fighter until proven otherwise,” Abbas Dahouk, a former senior military advisor at the State Department and military attache in the Middle East told Middle East Eye. “It’s not a sound move. Cordoning Rafah is a daunting task and good luck separating fathers and sons from their families.”

While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.

Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.

Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.

Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.

If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.

I understand that there have been talks about an Israeli invasion of Rafah and I understand how absolutely catastrophic that would be for what is potentially the most packed area in the world, but I just want to point out that it feels like everyone is anticipating with fear a potential assault on Rafah whereas attacks and airstrikes are already happening and in fact they never even stopped for over 6 months now.

Keep talking about Rafah and keep talking about Gaza. There are absolutely no "safe zones" in Gaza and there never have been.

There is a weird segment of people who love to make it very clear they are "against the actions of the Israeli government", like every other sentence they make it a point that this is about "the Israeli government" which is boring but also ignorant because it pretends as if everything that is happening is only the Israeli government’s fault. 

As if it was the Israeli government who marched out of settlements and set children and families on fire. 

As if it was the Israeli government who is protesting at the Gaza border trying to prevent aid trucks from entering.

As if it was the Israeli government that burnt thousand year old olive trees and shot the people harvesting them in the chest. 

As if it was the Israeli government that went into the Ibrahimi Mosque at dawn and committed a massacre killing 28 worshippers. 

As if it was the Israeli government who went out with lawn chairs to sit on hilltops to watch and cheer as bombs dropped on Gaza.

As if it was the Israeli government posting TikToks mocking and celebrating Palestinian deaths.

There is a reason they are so eager to pose their opposition to be “against the Israeli government” because they need to pretend that it is only the "current Israeli government" at fault in order to maintain the illusion that Israel isn’t a genocidal entity to its core.

I posted about Palestine on social media for years with zero interaction. No one wanted to talk about it and it has always seemed too far removed for americans to give a shit about.

So again I just want to remind people, it's never been like this before (in the us). This movement has always been here, but they can no longer bury it.

The fact that protests and boycotts have been sustained for going-on 6months, that's not nothing. This should be evidence to you that we can sustain the momentum, we must, and use this momentum for radical changes within ourselves, our habits, and our education.

We have the rest of the world to catch up with.

Before Israel killed him, Palestinian scholar Refaat Al Areer wrote to his daughter:

If I must die

you must live

to tell my story

Yesterday Israel killed his daughter Al-Shaymaa along with her husband and baby.

Who is going to tell Refaat and Shayma's story? Who's going to continue to tell the world how Israel obliterated entire bloodlines?

Refaat's poem continues to say

If I must die

let it bring hope

let it be a tale

We must promise to keep the tale alive and to uphold the legacy of Refaat, Shayma and the 40,000 others who were murdered by Israel in its ongoing genocide.

Try as they might, but Palestine will never die.
