Human rights groups are demanding international powers intervene to stop Israel’s creation of an “extermination zone” in northern Gaza this week, as Israeli forces are attacking hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who they have trapped in the region, and are demanding that hospitals evacuate.

Several advocacy groups have raised alarm as Israel has embarked on a campaign to seemingly eliminate all Palestinians from northern Gaza. Israeli forces have issued evacuation orders for the region while targeting Palestinians who try to flee the area. Soldiers have killed dozens of people in the invasion, which began on Monday, the anniversary of the start of the Gaza genocide.

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has said that the current invasion is “one of the most violent campaigns of [the] genocide,” noting Israeli forces’ siege of Jabalia refugee camp and the surrounding area. The campaign, the group said, is directly targeted at civilians and turning the entirety of north Gaza into a “full military zone.”

    (Please read with as much sarcasm as you can imagine.) Hmm, who else forced people out of their homes and into extermination zones? 🤔 I feel like there must be some major event in history that we’re missing because this just seems so familiar. Couldn’t possibly have had anything to do with the creation of Israel, though, nooo, so there’s no reason for them to know better.

    Netanyahu’s Israel needs to be reigned in and Netanyahu and his cronies need to be tried for war crimes.
