Yes.
We get it.
But what are you going to do, UN?
Can we start calling for Jews to be shoved into cages, each containing one eagle and one bear?
CNN:
Top officials at the United Nations are warning of an “apocalyptic” situation in war-torn Gaza with “no place safe to go” for civilians, as Israel’s war with Hamas spreads into the south, where many had previously sought refuge.
“Every time we think things cannot get any more apocalyptic in Gaza, they do,” said Martin Griffiths, the top UN emergency relief official, in a statement on Monday. “People are being ordered to move again, with little to survive on, forced to make one impossible choice after another,” he said.
“Such blatant disregard for basic humanity must stop,” he also said.

Israel has been intensifying its aerial bombardment of southern Gaza in pursuit of Palestinian militant group Hamas and said over the weekend that it will expand ground operations to the whole of the territory.
“Intense battles” are still taking place in northern Gaza, where two Israeli soldiers were killed during “close-quarter combat” with Hamas fighters, the military said on Monday.
The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza said 108 people had been killed at the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza, with dozens more injured, after heavy explosions and gunfire rocked the facility.
A journalist inside the hospital, Mahmoud Al-Sabbah, sent CNN video Tuesday of about 30 bodies covered in white sheets in a courtyard at the hospital. Several more bodies were piled on a cart because, he said, ambulances were unable to operate in the area. It’s unclear how long the bodies had been there, but he said family members were trying to identify loved ones.

Dozens of Israeli armored vehicles are operating in southern Gaza, satellite images from Sunday provided by PlanetLabs to CNN showed.
The images, obtained by CNN Tuesday, show the vehicles to the west of Salah El-Din Street, Gaza’s main north-south route, roughly six kilometers north of central Khan Younis. Tracks on the ground visible in the images show the Israeli armored vehicles had driven to the location in a near-direct line from the Israel-Gaza border in the east.
Scores of wounded people could be seen in footage being taken from rubble, to hospitals in southern Gaza throughout Monday. One Reuters video showed a baby being rushed from a civilian car into Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis. The 2-month-old lies on a stretcher, apparently unconscious, as doctors remove his clothes and connect him to an oxygen supply.
“They told us to leave Gaza, there’s a war in Gaza, so we left (the north) and came here to the south just like they asked. But this is what we’ve found in the south,” Ibrahim Esbeitan, the baby’s father said in the video, pointing at this child.
In Salah Al-Arja, in Rafah, residents were seen trying to rescue their loved ones from the rubble with their bare hands. “We were asleep and safe, they told us it was a safe area, Rafah and all, but at twenty past ten, they stuck it with barrels, destroying all the block, there were children, women, and martyrs,” an unnamed local resident told Reuters.
“There is no safe area, neither Rafah, nor Khan Younis, nor Gaza, nor Dier, they are all liars, they say it is a safe area, they let us seek refuge, they evacuated Khan Younis and Gaza and still they bomb.”
Further: I’m sort of sick of “Israel” being blamed for this.
It’s not “Israel.” Israel is not even a real country, by any normal definitions of a country.
“Jews” are who is at fault, and the UN should be calling out American Jews for funding this. At the very least, they should say it is impossible without “America.”
I agree that silence is complicity.
But if you’re saying “Israel,” you might as well be silent and complacent.
The problem is “Jews.” Israel doesn’t have the money or the military strength to do what they’re doing. It’s only possible because of America’s support. And the only possible reason America would support this is that America is run by Jews.
Just say it.
“If there was peace now, we would be fighting a genuine humanitarian crisis-half the hospitals are not functional. Now it’s a warzone again, we will see increasing deaths.”
“To the world, to those who have influence, silence is complicity.”-James Elder of Unicef to @BBCMaryam pic.twitter.com/b0ScYmaKTj
