“Canadians and other foreign nationals who were aiming to leave #Gaza via an Egyptian border crossing at Rafah on Saturday won't be able to do so and have been instructed to stay away from the area until further notice.
CBC News has viewed a message that #Israel officials sent to several western embassies indicating that Saturday's potential window for crossing the border into #Egypt was cancelled.”

When is someone going to Tell the lunatic in charge of Israel that his argument is with HAMAS and not the Palestinians, or citizens of other countries.
He will get the message soon enough when citizens of other Arab countries are killed by Israel and they declare holy war.
Canada may hold back along with other countries, some countries won't hold back.
Treading some very dangerous ground here, for the sake of humanity open up the border, and let in aid, before you have 2.2 million people dying, which BTW equates to 1/3 of the number of jews who died int eh holocaust.
@zleap @GottaLaff that's the unspoken thing here. Naming that they are moving perilously close to being the Nazis in this situation is just not tolerated.
The *Public* statements from various Israeli leaders leave vast amounts of doubt that they care about the residents of Gaza at all beyond being a population to eradicate.
I think when countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Russia start talking international law, and protecting civilians, you know things are going to get very very bad indeed.
But yes, some of the language indicates that what Israel is going to do is very bad indeed.
Of course we can't speak out against Israel or we get branded anti Semetic.
Jews I have no problem with, Netenyahu and his colleagues in power I am very concerned about.
This is a WAR CRIME

Ambulances being targeted by Israeli air attacks: Aid group
The Gaza programme manager for Medical Aid for Palestinians says ambulances in Gaza are being targeted by Israeli air raids.
“Sometimes ambulances can’t go immediately to the place because there is loss of communication, and you don’t know if they’re going to be targeted immediately or not,” Mahmoud Shalabi said.
“To die during this time is better than to get injured, because your treatment is going to be delayed. So this is actually more merciful than being injured during these attacks.”

It is really hard to know who to trust
@zleap @GottaLaff entirely. And it's the goal of disinfo ppl as well. To make everything suspect.
Chaos agents want more chaos.
I do kind of feel the BBC is too pro Israel,
@zleap @GottaLaff
I'd be careful with AlJ sourcing. They've already been caught embellishing reports of war crimes. Fog of War shouldn't be increased by reputable news or gov'ts (such as Israel affirming it had evidence of baby beheading and then walking it back).
