Israel Strikes Refugee Camp in Rafah and Prepares to Designate UNRWA a Terrorist Organization
Operational Breakdown:
Late Sunday night Israel carried out an airstrike on a refugee camp in southwest Gaza which has lead to the death of at least 45 Palestinians with at least 3x that in wounded, producing graphic images of non-contained tent fires and literally a decapitated toddler.
The tent encampment was set alight - it being designed to house internally displaced Palestinian civilians. This is a developing situation. Israel has claimed responsibility for a strike in this area, which is, based on obvious battle damage assessments - twisted rebar, shattered concrete, splintered metal - the cause of this destruction. The IDF is of course looking in to it.
This is separate from an event that happened earlier Sunday - Hamas shooting rockets out of Gaza into central Israel. Eight rockets, reportedly shot out of southern Gaza, East Rafah in a separate location from the camp. Still waiting for confirmation on where those rockets were actually shot from, but it’s a separate incident, at least militarily, from this refugee airstrike. More on that in a bit.
The Strike took place in the Tel-Al Sultan Refugee camp in West Rafah. So just to be clear, the Tel-Al Sultan neighborhood is not part of the IDF’s new designated safe-zone, which by now we know doesn’t exist and can’t accommodate all the million plus displaced Palestinians, but this neighborhood also wasn’t on the evacuation list. The area where the strike took place was actually a designated stafezone as of two weeks ago. More on that as well.
The IDF says they are aware of a fire that was started because of this strike and several civilians were harmed. The incident is under review. They assert that the targets of this strike were two senior Hamas commanders responsible for organizing resistance efforts in west bank. Also we’ll get into that because it makes no sense that West Bank operations would be coordinated through Gaza as opposed to Jordan or Syria. So that’s dumb on a very profound level.
Hamas says they hold the US president and administration fully responsible for this massacre, the PA accuses the Israelis of deliberately targeting the tents. Israel will investigate, the US will say they’re waiting for the results of that investigation and that all civilian deaths are bad.
Also, The Knesset is set to vote to designate Unwrap as a terrorist organization, and Egyptian and Israeli forces exchanged gunfire at the Rafah border crossing. One person is killed.

Episode 8: Doctor Liam O'mara - Zionism and Antisemitism, the Definitive Deep Dive. Pt. I
We are still seeing a problematic conflation of Jewishness and Zionism. We need to resist and challenge this at every turn because it only fuels Israeli militancy and lends credence to its claims of existential threat. The following exhaustive conversation strives for this nuance.
Part 1: is all about the history, factions, and various forms of Zionism. Cheers!

Episode 4: Jenan Matari - On Israeli Protests, Resistance, and White Liberalism
On this Episode we discuss the anti-Netanyahu Protests in Tel-Aviv, the dissonance of the colonizing mentality, and the "allyship" of Liberals. We again get into to the self-serving narrative of Neoliberals as an expression of supremacy in the latter third of the episode. You know, because it's almost election season and this is an extremely important topic.
We are joined by Jenan Matari - Palestinian storyteller, content creator, and activist.

Episode 1: Dr Liam O'Mara - Zionism, the Two-State Solution, Dismantlement and Things in Between
Welcome to Episode 1 of Colonial Outcasts, a manifestly anti-establishment podcast dedicated to challenging and dismantling ideological systems that perpetuate the self-destructive status quo of Western Imperialism.
Our first guest is Dr. Liam O'Mara, an anti-Zionist and anti-Fascist professor of history and comparative genocide studies. The topics discussed are diverse and surround the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, all leading to speculation on how a genocide-enabling ideology can eventually be dismantled.

Episode 3: India, Israel, and the Rise of Hindutva Fascism
On this Episode we discuss the rise of Hindutva Fascism within the Indian Government, the active and intensifying persecution of Muslims, and the the role and relation to Israel in this ongoing drama.
We are joined by Indian Muslim Activist, Sabika. Any details beyond that make things for activists in India increasingly dangerous. Also, here are some factual corrections from Sabika about the following episode:
1. At 30:31 - I say Peshwa Baji Rao, which is factually incorrect and I said it in some flow (cause there is a very famous movie on it lol) but its actually Peshwa Nana Saheb, the son of Peshwa Baji Rao 2 who fought in revolt of 1857.
2. 31:38 - I say Dina Nath Sharma, it is actually Dina Nath Batra ( I think it was too late in the night for me to get the names right), you could just remove Sharma, or the full name.
3. 1:47: I say Christians were added later- they were, albeit not in the act, but in the discussion stage itself. So you were right and I was factually incorrect there.
4. 1:50 : I say Hindus for Peace, it is Hindus For Human Rights

Operational Breakdown Feb. 13th - Impending Rafah Assault?
A quick appraisal of the potential Rafah Clearance/Catastrophe that will be coming in the next days. There is evidence that Egypt will try and create a "Buffer Zone" for displaced Palestinians. This is a rough cut, but the information is there.

Episode 2: White Liberalism and Atrocity Tourism
This Episode is more of an informal rant about the current manifestation of Liberalism around the Palestinian Genocide and how it is part of the same ideological system as white nationalism and supremacy. Seems radical, I know, but bear with us...

Operational Breakdown Feb. 20th - Possible Assault on Lebanon
Here is your regular military operation breakdown for the week of February 20th. This evening we discussed Israel's saber-rattling over a planned invasion of southern Lebanon in order to prosecute a ground war against Hezbollah. In short, the entire concept is tactically/operationally/strategically non-viable.
