Israel Demolished 50 High-Rises in Two Days. Will My Apartment Building Be Next?

"Every day we witness a new chain of brutal crimes committed by the Israeli occupation. Why does no one dare to stop it? How can a world stripped of humanity watch us burn alive? How are we expected to answer sudden phone calls ordering us to evacuate, threatening: "We will destroy everything around you"? Has everything we own become Israeli property to be demolished at will?"

"Have rulers become so consumed with protecting their wealth and interests that pleasing Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu matters more than listening to their consciences? From Gaza, we watch as people across the world raise their voices in condemnation of these atrocities, but their governments remain silent, eager to secure whatever gains they can reap from their cowardice. In just two days, the occupation destroyed 50 residential buildings and towers."

"Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has warned that if Hamas does not give up all weapons, "Gaza will be destroyed and you will be annihilated." The tragedy is that many of these buildings were already partially destroyed, yet families struggled to repair them in order to survive. But it has become clear that the occupation's goal was not merely to damage - it was to strip us of every shelter by leveling them completely to the ground."
