Palestinian activists launched the “Witkoffmassacre” tag to condemn the horrific massacre committed by the Israeli occupation army in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, and left dozens of martyrs and injuries from aid seekers.
This massacre resulted in the death of more than 30 Palestinians, and the injury of at least 200 others, as a result of direct shooting from the occupation forces on a group of Palestinian youths near the American aid distribution site west of Rafah.
There were only moments on this massacre, until the occupation army tried to commit another massacre near the Netsarim axis in the middle of the Strip, which led to a Palestinian martyrdom and a number of wounded after the shooting of other youths while they were near an American aid site.

Amid the bloody escalation in the Gaza Strip, hundreds of Palestinian tweets asked: “Why did these massacres be committed after only one day that the American envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkeov received Hamas to his proposal for the ceasefire?”

Witkev announced that the response that he received, yesterday, Saturday, from the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on his proposal for the ceasefire in Gaza “is totally unacceptable”, after the movement announced the delivery of its response to the mediators in a permanent fire.

Accordingly, Tweeters saw that the “aid massacre” in Rafah should be known as the “Wittakov massacre”, referring to the American envoy Steve Whitkov, known for his support for the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his involvement in supporting the war of genocide and starvation on Gaza.
This is how this massacre should be called.
The massacre today while distributing aid is to draw Steve Wittakov, who adopts Netanyahu and works to save him by supporting the war of extermination and starvation that it is waging on Gaza.

The singers emphasized that this massacre is registered in the name of Witkov, whose intention was previously announced the use of humanitarian aid as a political extortion tool, to obtain information about the occupation prisoners, in the same way that starvation is used as a negotiation method.
They described the new mechanism for distributing aid imposed by Witcoff and Netanyahu as a “death mechanism” that represents a direct threat to civilians, and it has already been warned more than once.

A number of activists demanded that the Rafah massacre should be a spark for a broad Arab popular anger, to pressure in order to open the Rafah crossing permanently, and to enter aid and goods without restrictions, whatever the price.
In this context, a Palestinian activist asked a question: “These are neither intermediaries nor humanitarian! The alleged American aid is nothing but an extension of the occupation, a partnership in killing and extermination. The world with his weight claims his inability to open a crossing, or raise a siege!”
One of the activists also wrote: “They starve us, then they call us for aid, then they kill us … so that the world rejoices with its humanity and civilization.”
In the same context, bloggers described the so -called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” as a “dirty cover” to kill the people of Gaza, and accused it of “famine engineering, murder centers and an American genocide.”
They said that the aid distributed in the west of Rafah or the axis of Natsarim is dipped in blood and humiliation, and that the occupation is trying to export its “human” image to the world, but it cannot abandon its “favorite hobby”, which is the permissibility of the blood of the Palestinians and the killing of the little one before the big, as they put it.
On the other hand, activists confirmed that the Rafah massacre is a new evidence of the failure of the American mechanism, and its real military targets in killing and displacement.
A number of tweets stated that the Israeli occupation army is trying to commit deliberate massacres with the aim of pressuring Hamas to accept the American proposal for the ceasefire.
They pointed out that these crimes come within a systematic strategy in which humanitarian aid is used as a political extortion tool, and that the military escalation after receiving the response from Hamas is not just a coincidence, but rather a calculated step to impose negotiating conditions by force.
With absolute American support, Israel has committed since October 7, 2023 genocide crimes in Gaza, which left more than 178,000 Palestinians between a martyr and a wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced people.
