Week of February 16 Wrapped Up: “Israel Presents Plan to Egypt to Evacuate Civilians From Rafah”

Week of February 16 Wrapped Up: “Israel Presents Plan to Egypt to Evacuate Civilians From Rafah”

We are back with another week full of events and unhinged plot twists in the political theater within the global south. We have the week of February 16 fully wrapped up for you so that you can zero your efforts in on where we all stand at this very decisive moment in history.

Here are the top news stories that have been circulating and making headlines throughout the week.


“Sooner or Later, the IDF Will Enter Rafah. It May Have to Fight on Northern Border, Too”

Now the Zionist media is laying the groundwork for the unspeakable atrocities looming on the horizon. From the very moment Palestinians were ordered to evacuate their homes, we have been stating the obvious: the intention is to confine Palestinians to the smallest possible space to bring about their sinister agenda of ethnic cleansing.

“A 6-Year-Old Palestinian Girl Was Killed — As Were the Paramedics Trying to Rescue Her — by Israeli Tanks”

I cannot tell which is more heart-wrenching: the reprehensible targeting of a 6-year-old by occupation forces, or the poignant reality that this innocent child is the beautiful Hind Rajab who was pleading for the Red Crescent’s rescue. Words fail to capture how despicable I find the plights of Palestinians; the unfolding tragedy is nothing short of abhorrent.

“Pro-Israel Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Spends $7M to Use Super Bowl As Political Soapbox”

We know that the 82-year-old Kraft has always been an ardent supporter of Israel and has aligned himself with its Apartheid and oppressive rules. What is particularly diabolical is the utterly ironic ad campaign’s call to action urging to “Stop Jewish Hate,” while simultaneously perpetuating false propaganda, effectively contributing to the ongoing genocide.

This hypocrisy is deeply infuriating because then truthful Jewish rabbis and people who know their Book and stick to their Scripture become perceived as a minority that does not represent Israel’s definition of Judaism.

“Israel Presents Plan to Egypt to Evacuate Civilians From Rafah”

This headline is a little delusional. Here is a sobering reality check on what they want to convey: “Israel Presents Plan to Egypt to Permanently Displace Palestinians From Their Homeland.”

“Tom Suozzi, Strong Supporter of Israel, Returns to Congress”

And he is going to make sure he is a devout supporter of Israel. Candidates come up short of embodying the aspirations of any discerning human being at this point. Unfortunately, elections appear to be on a constant downward trajectory.


We are bringing this week of February 16 to a close because we have covered enough news for your weekly dose of wrapped-up news. Now, it is time to focus on on-ground action steps.
