Every week Anna or someone from The Federation will join us to answer questions for people who are LIVE in the chat with us. Niti and her team will sift & sort through the chat questions to incorporate them into a conversational format. If your question is not answered in this episode, you may come back every week until we can get to your question. DO NOT put your question in the chat more than one time each week. Questions should be in ALL CAPS and let us know where you are from and if you are an American State National by including (ASN) at the end of your question. Please be aware that YOU DO NOT have to be an American to ask questions. This is a PUBLIC FORUM. We welcome the world! BE KIND in the chat. As self-governing people, we must first do no harm.

Chris Hedges, Israel’s Willing Executioners
Chris Hedges
Hundreds of thousands of people are being forced to flee, once again, after more than half of Gaza’s population took sanctuary in the border town of Rafah. This is part of Israel’s sadistic playbook.
Run, the Israelis demand, run for your lives. Run from Rafah the way you ran from Gaza City, the way you ran from Jabalia, the way you ran from Deir al-Balah, the way you ran from Beit Hanoun, the way you ran from Bani Suheila, the way you ran from Khan Yunis. Run or we will kill you. We will drop 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs on your tent encampments. We will spray you with bullets from our machine-gun-equipped drones. We will pound you with artillery and tank shells. We will shoot you down with snipers. We will decimate your tents, your refugee camps, your cities and towns, your homes, your schools, your hospitals and your water purification plants. We will rain death from the sky.
Run for your lives. Again and again and again. Pack up the pathetic few belongings you have left. Blankets. A couple of pots. Some clothes. We don’t care how exhausted you are, how hungry you are, how terrified you are, how sick you are, how old, or how young you are. Run. Run. Run. And when you run in terror to one part of Gaza we will make you turn around and run to another. Trapped in a labyrinth of death. Back and forth. Up and down. Side to side. Six. Seven. Eight times. We toy with you like mice in a trap. Then we deport you so you can never return. Or we kill you.
