Gaza war: Israeli attack on Rafah tent camp kills 45, prompts global outcry, as leaders urge UN court ruling be followed
South China Morning Post ^ | 05/27/24

An Israeli air strike killed at least 45 people in a tent camp in the Gaza city of Rafah, doctors said, drawing condemnation from European leaders on Monday, who urged implementation of a World Court ruling to halt Israel’s offensive.

French President Emmanuel Macron voiced his outrage on Monday over the Israeli strikes and demanded an “immediate ceasefire”.

“These operations must stop. There are no safe areas in Rafah for Palestinian civilians,” Macron said on X in English.

I call for full respect for international law and an immediate ceasefire.”

Israel has kept up attacks on Rafah despite a ruling by the top UN court on Friday ordering it to stop, arguing that the court’s ruling grants it some scope for military action there.

Germany’s foreign minister Annalena Baerbock and the EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the ruling must be respected. “International humanitarian law applies for all, also for Israel’s conduct of the war,” Baerbock said.

In scenes grimly familiar from a war in its eighth month, Palestinian families rushed to hospitals to prepare their dead for burial after the strike late on Sunday night set tents and rickety shelters ablaze.

Women wept and men held prayers beside bodies in shrouds.

“The whole world is witnessing Rafah getting burnt up by Israel and no one is doing anything to stop it,” Bassam, a Rafah resident, said via a chat app, of the strike in an area of western Rafah that had been designated a safe zone.

Give them a taste of their own medicine. They've made enough other people heartbroken. It's their turn to cry.

Hamas intentionally attacks, kills, tortures, maims and rapes innocent civilians. The World — mostly silence or violent demonstrations against Israel.

Israel accidentally kills or hurts civilians whiule attacking Hamas fighters, who are often hiding in hospitals and among civilians. The World — Israel guilty of war crimes.

That is how the leftist of the world think — they don’t.

How many "Palestinian refugees" can we put France down for, Macron?

Any civilians there were human shields, and served willingly.
Too bad

They need to quit slow walking this and get it done while they still can. Get forgiveness not permission.

Macron is terrified of his Countries Large Muslim Population.
And many Muslim no-go zones in France.
So he bends his weak knees.
