Israel's Bloody Negotiations Strategy in Gaza: Targeting Safe Areas and Civilians
The United States supplies Israel with the means to commit war crimes, while the White House platform is used to spread disinformation, making Israel's lies sound truthful and murder respectable. This situation is reminiscent of Israel's 1972 attack on a refugee camp in northern Lebanon, where Jamal Kanj, the author, survived an Israeli air raid that killed his friend Barakat and others. Fifty-two years later, Kanj witnessed the aftermath of an American-made bomb dropped in a designated safe area in al-Mawasi, southern Gaza, targeting civilians and leaving a crater where tents once stood.
