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 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.

      What do you think of that mass grave the Israelis put at a hospital and won’t let anyone investigate?

      “But Israel doesn’t.” You’re right. They slaughter thousands instead. To the tune of around 32k.

      See that’s the difference between us.

      You think that would justify it and I don’t think that justifies killing 10,s of thousands of people that had nothing to do with it.

      It is unjustifiable, the same as what hummus did

      Oh well, who’s radicalized now?

      Damn, I hope one day you realise how wrong it is to generalise people.

      How would you feel if someone says that you are a scumbag just because your neighbour is a scumbag?

      Now question yourself if you want to be that type of person.
