Israeli Writer: I beg you: do not enter Rafah

All that remains is for me to ask, plead, and scream: “Do not enter Rafah.” The Israeli invasion of Rafah will be an attack on the largest camp for displaced people in the world, and will push the Israeli army to commit a grave crime of genocide that it has previously committed. Rafah cannot be stormed today without committing a war crime, and if the Israeli army storms it, it will turn into a slaughterhouse.

About 1.4 million displaced people now live there, finding refuge in plastic tents. The American administration, the protector of Israeli law and conscience, stipulated an evacuation plan to storm Rafah, but there is no such plan, and it cannot be done, even if Israel finds some solution. It is not possible to move a million people who lack everything, most of whom are displaced, for the second or third time, from a “safe” place to another place that always turns into a killing field, and they cannot be transported like herds being led to the slaughterhouse, as even herds are not transported with such brutality, not to mention that there is not even Now there is a place for these people to move to, and in devastated Gaza there is nowhere to escape or take refuge. So, if the displaced people of Rafah are evacuated to Mawasi, as the Israeli army proposes in its humanitarian plan, Mawasi will turn into a humanitarian disaster the likes of which we have never seen in Gaza before.

Correspondents Yardan Michaeli and Avi Sharaf wrote that Gaza's entire population of 2.3 million people would be crammed into 16 square kilometers. Amira Hass estimated that if about a million people were evacuated to Mawasi, the population density there would reach 62,000 people per square meter. As is known, there is nothing in Al-Mawasi; No infrastructure, no water, no electricity, no homes, just sand and sand, blood, epidemics, and sewage. The mere thought of that not only freezes the blood in the veins, but also indicates the extent to which Israel's inhumanity has reached in its plans.

The bloodshed will continue in Mawasi, as happened in Rafah in recent days, which until now was the last resort proposed by Israel. The Shin Bet will find a Hamas policeman who will have to be eliminated with a one-ton bomb on the new plastic camps, and 20 passers-by will be killed, most of them children, and our military correspondents will talk about the excellent job the army did in assassinating the high-ranking chain of command in Hamas. Absolute victory is on the way, and Israel will be defeated again.

Public opinion in Israel and the American administration must wake up. These are emergency times the likes of which we have not witnessed in this war. The Americans must prevent the storming of Rafah by actions and not by words, as they alone are able to restrain Israel. The left wing of the Israeli public must find other sources of information for itself, other than our news channels. Look at the pictures of Rafah on all the world's channels. They are pictures you do not see in Israel, and you will understand why it is impossible to evacuate Rafah. When you imagine consoling two million displaced people, you will realize what war crime we are heading towards.

Yesterday, the body of Hind Hamada, a 5-year-old daughter, was found, whose photos spread throughout the world after the moments of terror her family experienced in a confrontation with an Israeli tank on January 29. These terrifying moments were recorded via a call to the Red Crescent, until Hind’s aunt’s screams of terror fell silent, and 7 family members were killed, and little Hind remained a survivor, and since then, her fate has been unknown.

Yesterday, Hind's body was found in her aunt's burned car at a gas station in Khan Yunis. She was wounded, and there were 7 bodies of her family members on top of her. She did not succeed in getting out of the car, and thus, she bled until she breathed her last. Hind and her family responded to Israel's "humanitarian" call to leave Khan Yunis. Who wants thousands of Indians to fall during the evacuation of Rafah to Al-Mawasi?
