Basyma with a WHY

Rafah is gone. Razed to the ground. It's not the only city decimated by the Israeli army ***

Deep dive by Haaretz on the accelerated, more methodical demolitions of whole towns that are at the core of the IDF’s current Operation Gideon’s Chariots in Gaza.

“After we're done, they won't be able to come back here for years,” the commander of the 7th Armored Brigade says of Khan Younis.

actually reaching dehumanization of any Shi'a person who dares to protest or express anger on the street. They are deemed irrational barbarians.

And this mass sorrow is not only being faced with negligence and disregard from other sects and the government: it is being pre-empted and firewalled with complete demonization and ruthless condemnation,
