'Israel should go in there and kick the sh*t out of them' this is what US Rep. Brian Mast replayed to an activist who asked him if Israel should agree to a ceasefire endorsed by the US and accepted by Hamas.
This comment comes ahead of a planned full-scale Israeli assault on Rafah. Israeli forces have already seized the main border crossing between Gaza and Egypt in Rafah, where more than one million displaced Palestinians have sought shelter amid Israel’s brutal and relentless onslaught on the coastal strip since October.
Israel has continued to bomb Rafah and the rest of the Gaza Strip as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remain homeless, hungry, and trapped.
