[via Sara Roy - quoting John Whitbeck, an international lawyer specializing in the I-P conflict] Overnight, Israel has blasted another UNRWA school and UN designated “safe haven”, killing at least 16 among the families sheltering there after being warned to leave their homes. The UN reports that 215,000 Palestinians, more than 10% of Gaza’s population, are now seeking shelter in UN facilities. Israel has also declared a “buffer zone” of three kilometers inside Gaza’s borders with Israel – which, given Gaza’s tiny size, represents 44% of Gaza’s territory – in which anyone present is deemed to have been duly warned to leave and to bear all the lethal risks arising from their presence. Israel’s kill total now stands at 1262. At the current, accelerating pace of the slaughter, another day or two could be sufficient to surpass Israel’s haul of 1417 dead Palestinians achieved during Operation Cast Lead (2008-9).
