Alert: Israel wants to build a concentration camp city
By Ahmad Abuznaid, USCPR Action Executive Director
In their genocide planning meetings at the White House this week, Trump and Netanyahu discussed Israel’s horrendously violent intent to build a concentration camp city in Rafah, southern Gaza.
This is Israel’s genocidal plan: (1)
Concentrate the Palestinian population within the ruins of Rafah.
Control who enters Rafah and block anyone from leaving.
Then expel everyone living there to depopulate Gaza.
I don’t need to tell you that this plan consists of war crime upon war crime—and that the U.S. is already thoroughly participating. Disturbing reports have revealed that militarized mercenaries in the U.S.-run GHF, which would most aptly be called the Gaza Holocaust Forces, have been firing live ammunition at Palestinian aid seekers. (2)
But this plan can be disrupted. Every day our global movement is fighting back and making new gains. The very last thing we should do is acquiesce to the horrific ideas Israel promotes as psychological warfare to terrorize Palestinians and intimidate the rest of the world.
Our demands remain the same: Block the bombs and stop arming Israel. Close every U.S./Israeli-run concentration camp and allow all humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza unrestricted. Withdraw all Israeli/U.S. occupying forces. Palestinians must return and rebuild Gaza. And all of Palestine must be free.
Only Palestinian people in Gaza should determine their future—not war criminals pretending they can negotiate their fate from the White House.
Tell everyone you know Congress must step up and block the bombs to Gaza now, before Trump arms Israel to commit more horrors. Share this action tool to email your representative.
If a 60-day “ceasefire” or rather temporary pause is announced in the coming days, then exercise caution and listen to Palestinian voices—especially Palestinians on the ground in Gaza.
Israel clearly intends to exploit any pause in its attacks to advance its genocidal land grab, expel as many Palestinians as it can, and then resume bombing afterward. Meanwhile Trump is arming Israel and ICE, while cutting food stamps and healthcare for Americans in the big bad bill. (3)
As Indigenous people, Palestinians are here to stay in our ancestral homeland. Any plan to expel them would be a war crime. Keep fighting for total liberation and return.
