As we reported earlier, Israeli snipers killed at least 21 people in Khan Younis in the south of Gaza, where displaced Palestinians were gunned down trying to reach Nasser Hospital.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Rafah, says that Israeli snipers are surrounding the area of Nasser Hospital and “shooting at every moving object” as people are trying to reach it from the two densely populated residential neighbourhoods from the eastern and the western part of the hospital.

“The area around the hospital is very dangerous, and it has turned into a combat zone,” he said, noting that the hospital area is the only place right now in Khan Younis that has some water left.

Settler-colonialism requires terrorism and mass killing to work. The goal at this point is to make Gaza uninhabitable so that every Palestinian is either forced to flee or die.

Otherwise known as Ethnic Cleansing, or a genocide if mass death is involved.

Israel is purposefully committing a genocide.

And every country that de-funded UNRWA is an accomplice.

And if you notice, all the countries that de-funded UNWRA are either former colonial powers or settler-colonies.

Because settler-colonialism requires genocide.

and conservatives are trying to conserve the institutions that think colonialism is a neat way to get rich.

Conservatism is literally a terrorist ideology, and humanity NEEDS to realize it.
