Gaza: hundreds of thousands flee Rafah as Israel ramps up attacks

Israeli forces have reached the middle of Rafah in their continuing assault on the southern city in Gaza.

International pressure on Israel has deepened, with three European countries formally recognising a Palestinian state and the UN security council calling an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in Gaza. Israeli forces again attacked the Tel al-Sultan area, where at least 45 people were killed by an airstrike and huge fire in an area crowded with refugee tents. Twenty-one people were killed in the latest strike, more than half of them women, according to authorities in Gaza. About 1 million people have fled Rafah since early May and hundreds of thousands are still sheltering there, close to the border with Egypt

The United States should end military aid to Israel.
1. Military Aid to Israel is unnecessary. Israel is a very prosperous country and more than capable of paying for its own military.
2.Military aid to Israel is a security risk to the United States. Israel has been selling American developed military technology to China for more than a decade. These sales have been instrumental in the modernization of China's military.
3.Military aid to Israel is a diplomatic liability,
4, Military aid to Israel is illegal under American law. Israel's human rights violations disqualify Israel from receiving military aid under the Leahy law and Israel's refusal to allow inspections of its nuclear sites or sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty makes any aid to Israel illegal under the Symington Amendment.
