Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

Let's remember how Nelson Mandela was on a terrorism watch list.

The first bomb attack in Palestine, the first time the word "terrorist" appeared on the news, was by Zionist a "Jewish right-wing underground movement" organization reference https://www.britannica.com/topic/Irgun-Zvai-Leumi:

"By a jew organization". Racist loaded fucking language there, buddy. You clearly hsve some biases yourself. And remind me of when Nelson Mandela murdered people fleeing for their lives?

Why saying "By a jew organization" is being racist? English isn't my first language, so I probably didn't write it properly.

EDIT: Didn't want to offend anyone, sorry for that. Also, Nelson Mandela fought against racism, didn't he? I don't know why I still talk with you.

Calling it Zionist would be the correct take. There are a lot of anti Zionist Jewish people and just regular folks who have nothing to do with Israel.

Okay, I just took the reference from https://www.britannica.com/topic/Irgun-Zvai-Leumi which says it's "Jewish right-wing underground movement". Thanks.
