Israel planned this war on Iran for 40 years. Everything else is a smoke screen The embers of resistance โ€“ in Gaza, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen - have not been snuffed out. With the attack on Iran, they are being fanned into a fire

Israel opened the Rafah border from February 2nd to 28th, after seizing and shutting it completely for nearly 2 years. 
In the 26 days the border was open, only a few sick and injured Palestinians were able to evacuate out of the tens of thousands who require urgent medical attention and care. A minimal amount of food, medicine, and people were allowed to enter Gaza in this short period of time.

While Israel continues to genocide Gaza, its calculated use of starvation as a weapon of war acts as a tool of collective punishment in an attempt to make Palestinian survival near impossible. 
Israel's impunity and deliberate attempts to erase Palestinian life in Gaza and the West Bank continues in broad daylight for all to see.
