This week the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially declared his plan to fully colonize Gaza—and it is critical to recognize how his illegal act harms us all. Unsurprisingly, Netanyahu is couching his cruel and illegal decision in alleged security by “expanding the military offensive against Hamas.” Never mind that Netanyahu yet again broke the truce between Israel and Hamas.
