This is the end. The final blood-soaked chapter of the genocide. It will be over soon. Weeks. At most. Two million people are camped out amongst the rubble or in the open air. Dozens are killed and wounded daily from Israeli shells, missiles, drones, bombs and bullets. They lack clean water, medicine and food. They have reached a point of collapse.
Sick. Injured. Terrified. Humiliated. Abandoned. Destitute. Starving. Hopeless.

Edge of Erasure

A new report from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), The Edge of Erasure, is the latest documentation of the horrors of Gaza.

A new report by a leading Quaker social justice organization urges observers of Israel’s bombardment and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza and its accelerated annexation of the West Bank to see the “escalating violations” not as isolated pushes for control of the occupied territories but something much more sinister and profound.

According to the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the policies and violence Israel is perpetrating on people across the territories are “systematic and risk the erasure of Palestinians.”
