You may have come across the phrase "All Eyes on Rafah" on social media. This phrase has become a trending topic, shared by musicians, actors, models, tennis players, and many others. Peace-loving people worldwide are posting this phrase to show support for the Palestinians seeking refuge in war-torn Rafah, Gaza.💝
"All Eyes on Rafah" means everyone's eyes are on Rafah. Why was this phrase chosen? A few days after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a ban, Israeli forces launched an operation in Rafah. This attack on a refugee camp resulted in the deaths of at least 45 people, including 23 children, women, and elderly individuals, and many others were injured.
An analysis by the American media outlet CNN revealed that the bombs used in this attack on the refugee camp were supplied by the United States to Israel. This attack sparked international outrage against Israel. The continuous aggression and isolation of Gaza have made the world more aware of the situation.
Multiple news outlets, including the Qatar-based Al Jazeera, reported that many people were burned alive in the attack. Children’s bodies were dismembered, and some were found with their heads severed.
Following the attack, peace-loving people vocally condemned Israel. Initially, Israeli soldiers claimed they had conducted a successful operation against militant bases. However, facing criticism, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted, "We made a mistake. It was a regrettable error." Such ironic actions led to the phrase "a wolf in sheep’s clothing."💝
Since then, the phrase "All Eyes on Rafah" has gone viral on social media. This slogan originated from a statement by Rick Peeperkorn, the director of the World Health Organization’s office in Palestine, in February of this year. At that time, Israel had issued an eviction notice for Rafah.💝
Now, this slogan has become one of the most popular on Israeli social media.
Many Bollywood stars have used this hashtag to share images on social media, expressing their stance against the war. They emphasize that everyone has the right to receive love and sleep peacefully.💝
Stars like Madhuri Dixit, Priyanka Chopra, Konkona Sen Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, and Sonam Kapoor have shared "All Eyes on Rafah." Varun Dhawan, "Jawan" director Atlee, tennis player Sania Mirza, and musician Shilpa Rao, among others, have also posted this on their Instagram stories. International celebrities, including actor Pedro Pascal, model Bella Hadid, and musician Dua Lipa, have shared this message as well.
