@LucDuplessis Yes, but also much worse than that. It's planned as a US-led alternative UN to impose US imperialism across the globe.The Israeli admin has publicly & repeatedly said it doesn't give a toss what the world thinks of it, bcz, of course, the whole world is antisemitic.

Satellite images show Israel potentially preparing to concentrate all Gazans into an area of 1 squ km in Rafah city.In July, Minister Katz described the area as a “humanitarian city" to house the entire Gaza population.The clearing indicates preparation for new residential infrastructure - which could house Palestinians in an Israeli-controlled area.https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260121-systematic-clearing-in-rafah-to-confine-palestinians-within-fully-israeli-controlled-military-area/ #DisplacementReplacement #USPol #Europol #GazaGenocide #press #GazaConcentrationCamp #palestine @palestine .

Analysis: Gaza: The realitySatellite imagery shows Israel is literally cutting Gaza in half with a trench many meters deep along the yellow line. Palestinians can't cross it.Israel will corral them into Orwellian housing zones & control every aspect of their lives.Others will live in a wasteland under genocidal conditions: no construction allowed, bombs, little food & shelter.https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/23/trump_kushner_gaza_plan_catastrophic_success #USPol #Europol #GazaGenocide #Racism #GazaPlan #fascism #palestine @palestine .
