It looks like Trump lured them there under the pretense of negotiations so that Israel could execute the strike
Here’s what just happened: Trump sent a peace deal to Hamas, Hamas met to discuss it in Doha, where the U.S. is mediating talks and has a base,and Israel bombed them, presumably with US support.

The idea of “social murder” is super useful, and we need to get comfortable using it. Engels is the best, man - reading him feels like finally acknowledging the obvious reality everyone wants you to ignore
![Engels on 'Social Murder'
When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results, we call that deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call this deed murder.
But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or the bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live - forces them ... to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence - knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual ...
Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845 [1967]), p. 126 (Panther Press)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jfcht3gt62twn3r32e7bziq4/bafkreifeiogd6watrjgxqrzfsfrujyv4765jeh4why7my2rl76nbnqr5xu@jpeg)

I think that as communists we have an obligation not only to explain to people how their social alienation is the result of capitalist control over social infrastructure, but also to present a model of how these resources could be managed in a socially positive way once collectivized

It's actually a bad thing if your entire agricultural system relies on paying migrants low wages, and I don't believe a single farmer when they say Americans refuse to do farm labor even if provided a living wage.
