Perhaps Christians outside Gaza and the Occupied Territories reflect on the meaning and effects of the Israeli state's genocide this xmas. 'As Gaza’s Christians shelter inside church walls amid ongoing Israeli strikes, Palestinians mark Christmas not as a celebration, but as an act of endurance'.

An illegally occupying army builds a concentration camp for every man, woman and child of an occupied land and decrees that those who will not be voluntarily interned in that camp will be ELIMINATED. Is there a more accurate definition of GENOCIDE?

Yep just like the Warsaw ghetto... where 400,000 Jewish people were sealed off and about 25% of those inside the ghetto died of starvation and disease. Nazi policy was to move from ghettoisation to extermination. Israel’s Rafah camp theconversation.com/israels-rafa...

Israel’s Rafah camp – ‘humanitarian city’ or crime against humanity?
Israel’s plan to eventually move all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp in the south of the Strip is being widely denounced as tantamount to ethnic cleansing.

Australia's silence on genocide gives Netanyahu a free pass to exterminate Palestinians
The refusal of Australia and other Western countries to talk about Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza is encouraging a more blatant Israeli program of exterminating Palestinians.
