The Rafah border crossing into Gaza remained closed on Wednesday following its capture by Israeli forces, cutting off vital aid deliveries after the UN’s World Food Program warned Palestinians in northern Gaza are already facing a “full-blown famine.”
Israeli sources told The Times of Israel that the Rafah crossing with Egypt will remain closed amid Israeli military operations on the Palestinian side, and it’s unclear how long that will be. The US claims it’s opposed to Israel restricting aid shipments into Gaza, but President Biden backed Israel’s operation to capture the crossing, which has tightened the starvation blockade.
Israel claimed on Wednesday that the nearby Kerem Shalom crossing that connects Gaza and Israel was re-opened. But both the US and the UN said no aid entered Gaza via Kerem Shalom since there is no one to distribute it and there are active military operations in the area. Gaza border officials said six of their employees came under fire when trying to approach the Kerem Shalom crossing.
Only the northern Erez border crossing remains open, and only a small number of trucks have entered. Israeli authorities said 60 aid trucks came through the Erez crossing on Tuesday, just a fraction of the 500 aid groups say is needed at a minimum, a level that has not been reached since October 7.
Rafah has been the only entry point for fuel, which is needed to deliver aid, power hospitals, and for other humanitarian purposes. The UN’s child relief agency, UNICEF, said the closure of the Rafah crossing threatens the entire humanitarian relief effort.
“With that crossing now being closed, our whole humanitarian operation on the ground is compromised,” said UNICEF spokesman Ricardo Pires, according to The Washington Post. “If the crossing is not urgently re-opened, the entire civilian population in Rafah and in the Gaza Strip will be at greater risk of famine, disease and death.”
Israel took control of the Rafah crossing as the construction of the $320 million US-built pier off the coast of Gaza was completed, but it’s unclear when it will bring in aid shipments. The US built the pier instead of pressuring Israel to open more land crossings, which are by far the most efficient way to get aid into the Strip.
Another mass grave uncovered in Gaza including decapitated bodies at Shiva hospital which is suggesting a link between the IDF and ISIS.

Yep. Mass executions and mass graves.
Israel is committing exactly the same crimes as the Nazis did at the Warsaw Ghetto, and the SS did in Eastern Europe.
Israel is an evil, genocidal state. That’s the reality. No amount of propaganda can conceal the horror.
Their behavior is far too similar not to be arousing suspicions.
Reading up on the 1930 and the second ww I’ve read reports of large numbers of German Jews [150000] serving with the N’s.
The Z’s and the N’s had many things in common and got along rather well.
There’s far more to this, like the public was being played back then just like it is now, the quintessential difference here is that now we’re able to communicate more widely and effectively.
Hannah Arendt’s investigation of the trial of Adolph Eichmann reveals that. Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. I don’t know about the numbers, however, Judenrate’ were created to monitor the situation in Ghettos.

I was aware of this however it’s never too late to spread the truth.
Even though we know about this most of our Western politici [there are exceptions] are made from rubber meaning they lack a spine.
The Israeli’s have even admitted* to organ harvesting !
Murdering Palestinians for their organs: “All facts on the ground prove Swedish report correct” [Voltairnet]
Israeli Organ Harvesting [Counterpunch]
* Israel Admits Harvesting Organs From Dead Bodies Without Permission [Huff-Po]
I don’t understand. You can’t take organs from a person that was shot. The organ needs to be supplied with oxygen without interruption, otherwise it’s worthless. So organ donors have to be brain-dead but not actually dead which can only happen when they are in a hospital in the first place.
Then the Huffpo article has a misleading headline.
Who said they were harvesting from those who were shot?
Right. I wouldn’t put it past the Israelis to do this to prisoners. After all they cuff them so tight their limbs fall off. Or just torture them to death as was reported recently.
The employ the Hannibal Doctrine which allows them to murder their own citizens if they suspect they may be taken hostage. Unreal
Officially this directive existed until 2016. But shows the mindset for sure
It is not readily known that ISIS is our person foreign legion. It is the child of what we formed to battle Russia in Afghanistan, which devolved into Al-queda. ISIS has been active in Syria. It is believed to have been responsible for the massacre at the theater in Moscow.
Isis is another Gladio which was/is one of numerous such cells operating in Europe.
Isis developed a reputation for beheading their victims plus they’re suspiciously selective of their victims who are never Israeli’s and never the US in Syria- the Israeli’s provided them with medical care while the US provided material aid.
I fear the worst is yet to come, more mass graves are being uncovered.
It’s all good and well to comment on these atrocities at least that provides a record the next step is to confront our politici and news anchors.
Treating Palestinians as cattle – what an absolute disgrace.
To be honest the only thing Israel’s military seems to be good at is killing innocent men, women and children. Whenever the IDF come across genuine fighters, however, they get their collective butts kicked.
I used to be a huge fan of Israel. Not anymore. In fact, I hope the state of Israel disappears, and is replaced by a single state in which all faiths are protected.
Sorry Scipio you are dreaming
,never happen.
Yes… Double yes! The US is founded on separation of church and state for very good reasons… Being dragged into increased deficit spending to fund genocide instead of helping birth a modern secular democracy is one of those reasons.
Cattle get treated better. They get fed.
I could say I’m surprised and shocked, but what would be the point of that? I’m beyond being shocked at the utter evil of my own government, to say nothing of my disgust with the people of Israel.
Why do they hate us …?
“it’s unclear when it will bring in aid shipments.” It never will or in token amounts to CYA the US claim to be aiding the Palestinians. That pier is there for military reasons. More and more people, like Sharmine Nawani, have now caught on to that.
Biden is all talk, same BS for months, that Israel has to provide aid to Palestinians, while Biden sends more LETHAL Weapons to BOMB Gaza. If Biden was a REAL American, stood up for Human Rights, he would tell Netanyahu, STOP the Genocide, or we bomb Tel Aviv. Someone, something, has to stop this insanity and instead needs to take Netanyahu’s War to Israel. The Israeli People are preventing aide trucks from going into Gaza, they are a BIG part of the problem, because the Wars do not affect them, they only gain more stolen land. Time to take the WAR to Israel, let them deal with their decades of Aggression, let them pay for their atrocities, let them pay for their bloodshed. The Israeli Population needs to overthrow Netanyahu, or Biden needs to do what America loves to do, REGIME CHANGE!
Congress would impeach him within a week.
Nope. The Uniparty is all in on the genocide. Any President who wants to bring peace, whittle down the CIA and the MIC will get the Kennedy treatment. Let us not forget that the Kennedy assassination was a coup. I can agree with Ron Paul saying that (although there is much I can disagree with him)
If an election wasn’t coming up, I’d think that’d be a real possibility. But I think the dems would vote it down in the senate and suddenly realize that maybe Biden is too old and have someone else on the ballot come November.
If Biden said or thought anything that hurt Israel AIPAC would have his head on a plank. Even Biden is not senile or dumb enough for such happen.
Opposed? But limp as a you-know-what in their subservience to Israel in their genocide?
Like Jill Stein says “there’s not heart, soul, or mind there.” There’s no point in listening to anything he says.

The Biden administration knows. The Uniparty in the U.S. knows.
Food equals life and the right to survival! How can Israelis, who suffered a human holocaust, be lacking in its own humanity?….

israel is being very rude to innocent civilians… this lack of clarity between terrorists and civilians reminds me of another far right group, except they went crusading across Europe… hmm, who could that be?
The world is standing by for US assisted genocide.
It is apparent that the world wants it to get over quickly, so it can be forgotten, like Cast Lead, Protective Edge has been forgotten. There are beachfront properties to develop, as well as travel to the “holy land” to be amazed by the Jewish culture, the peaceful people, the “light of the world”. U.S. educational institutions will not be able to teach anything about the plight of the Palestinians, what happened to them, where they went, how many were dispossessed, or just dead, or maimed as a child (pictures of Palestinian babies with legs amputated enrage me). Yes, the world wants to focus on evil China and evil Russia, and especially evil Iran. Gaza? Nothing happened there……………………..so it goes. To the dustbin of history.
Kinda curious why the U.N. isn’t doing air drops of food pallets or bringing it in by heavy-lift helicopter – or Hells, even just landing some amphibious craft D-Day style.
Let the IDF attack ’em and show the world what the ASI government really is. Then see Netanyahu and his flunkies claim that “…feeding our enemies is antisemitic.”
So now population is being sent to the coast, where pier is being readied. Bring the ship with food, invite people in — ship to Rwanda?
This warrants the Old West term, “Wanted: Dead or Alive.”
Pay a reward for men on our list. Five or six names are immediately obvious as genocidal maniacs.
This would immediately change everything in Israel and in Gaza.
“The US claims it’s opposed to Israel restricting aid shipments into Gaza, but President Biden backed Israel’s operation to capture the crossing, which has tightened the starvation blockade.” Biden needs to be deposed…yesterday.
More than that – it’s not just Biden it’s the racket – everything from corporate influence over US government policies – congress receiving kickbacks from the MIC and then there’s the I lobby.
The golden rule is a powerful reminder for the powerless.
I find it hard to believe that these people doing this are actually Jews!!!
My husband is a Sephardic Jew and disagrees wholeheartedly with ALL of this BS and so do bloody I!!!
It is never too late to repent, apologize and change your barbaric ways. I do not care if you believe in anything but the truth and human compassion are essential to all of us.
