Israel brings death to Rafah refugee camp

Israeli occupation forces have killed at least 13 Palestinians at the start of a major ongoing raid into occupied Gaza Strip's Rafah refugee camp.

The latest victim on Tuesday was a 24-year-old who Israeli troops shot dead, claiming he was armed.

<snip>
Israeli tanks and infantry are pouring into Rafah in defiance of international outcries, drawing UN and European Union criticism over concern it could make thousands of Palestinians homeless.

Israel has threatened to carry out a systematic destruction of homes in the impoverished area.

1. The Israelis are frustrated and very very very angry.
I guess their attitude is that if they have to live in fear, why shouldn't the Palestinians.

Which isn't a bit nice. But it is fair.

2. Nothing fair about the occupation.....
The rules of this forum prevent me from posting my true feelings about the nature of the Israeli occupation forces.

5. The Palestinians have been getting kicked off of their land

for over a hundred years now and are regularily killed in significant numbers, and "The Israelis are frustrated and very very very angry". Surely there's more to it than that.
