Israeli bombardment of Rafah on Saturday:

Six months ago, five months into the genocide in Gaza, the US administration stated that the Israeli invasion of Rafah would be a ‘red line’ that would end US support for Israel’s invasion. The Israeli government ignored that threat, invaded and decimated Rafah, and the US administration responded by sending $20 billion additional in weapons and funding for Israeli forces to continue and expand their assault.
