Today in Labor History November 12, 1956: In the midst of the Suez Crisis, over 100 Palestinian refugees were killed in Rafah by Israel Defense Forces after they invaded the Gaza Strip. Israel has neither denied nor acknowledged wrongdoing. Palestinians maintain that all resistance had ceased when the killings took place. Dozens of summary executions of Palestinian prisoners occurred, and up to 1,200 civilians were killed by the IDF in this four-month period of Israeli rule. The Suez Crisis began when Israel, followed by France and the UK, invaded Egypt and the Gaza Strip, in order to depose Gamal Nasser, and regain control over the Suez Canal, which Nasser had nationalized. Nasser was a leading figure in the secular, anti-imperialist, pan-Arabist movements of the day.

PALESTINE - Local media on Wednesday reported that Germany had deployed unarmed police officers in the Palestinian territories, whose tasks are to help stabilize the situation and further strengthen local civilian security forces. "A functioning police force is indispensable for lasting peace in the Middle East," Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt told German Press Agency (dpa),
Gaza is under a ceasefire, which Israel has violated many times since its recent start.
As usual Israel is attempting to over step the details of this ceasefire and the IOF have encircled Rafah in an attempt to eliminate all Al Qassams Brigade fighters in the area.
Hamas says the defenders of Gaza will never give up their arms because Palestinians have a right to defend themselves from a genocide.

This is why ceasefires don't work with Israel. They don't give a fuck about law, any laws. They are the chosen race, right?
Qassam Brigades:
"We place the mediators before their responsibilities, and they must find a solution to ensure the continuation of the ceasefire, preventing the enemy from using false pretexts to violate it and exploit that to target innocent civilians in Gaza.”
