Not many other ways to make 1.1 million people really angry, on top of all else. Not everyone there is a terrorist, but they all have to pay the price for the actions of those whose are.
Oh there’ll be a much larger number of terrorists after this.
What would you do if your family was killed by a government claiming you’re inhuman just for existing and your neighbour deciding to launch a rocket at that government out of sheer frustration for their living conditions.
Honestly can’t blame them if they did. Obviously killing Israeli civilians is indefensible but they are ensuring that thousands more will grow up hating all Israelis. The same logic Israelis and Israel supporters are using to kill innocent Palestinians is what Hamas runs off of. Each group blaming the entire “other” group for everything. Exactly like netanyahu wanted all along I imagine.
I wouldn’t doubt that there’s also a fear that Israel will just annex the evacuated territory after this, to compound matters.
There’s no way they’re not gonna do that, they’re already annexing territories where people reside. People will move to the side that’s not getting bombed and when it’s all done, 2 million people will be living in half the small area they had at best.
Just in time for flu season.
I’d genuinely be shocked if they didn’t try to annex the majority of the land if not all of it. Cornering a mass of people isn’t a wise decision but they will use the inevitable violence as an excuse for all out ethnic cleansing
And if they don’t, its very likely they’ll just make it unlivable so the people can’t feasibly return The current Israeli government would be quite happy with Gaza City just being empty. That would solve a lot of long term problems with only short term consequences. A final solution to the Palestinian problem, if you would.
Turns out the Israelíes liked 1930s German policy, just not who it was directed against. They’re using the same playbook as the former oppressors of their people to inflict the generational pain onto others.
Interesting to see them justify how much God supports their hatred.
A much higher number of justifications for that government to crack down even further. First you demonize the enemy, then you strike against them, and when they inevitably defend themselves, you have a justification to kill the people trying to kill yours. That playbook is millenia old and still works.
We call it fascism now.
Is it even terrorism at that point? From what I can tell, most missiles are actually striking military targets (at least, judging by how many military targets have been struck and destroyed). I doubt Hamas has the missiles necessary to launch a terror campaign given that, y’know, they’ve literally been repurposing unexploded Israeli munitions that land on Gaza.
Are you really surprised that bombing Palestine, shooting innocent protestors, and blockading Palestine from outside aid leads to radicalization?
Meanwhile, unlike an actual terrorist organization (e.g. ISIS, which would pride itself on terrorizing civilians), Hamas’ statements make it clear that they make efforts to avoid civilian casualties: https://twitter.com/Aldanmarki/status/1712738101108384185?t=OIRmyV9jzr3DSFoDZCrR6Q&s=19
Meanwhile…
Several Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in occupied West Bank
From point-blank range, lsraeli colonial settler shoots a defenceless Palestinian man in Hebron.
Indonesia’s Medical Emergency Rescue Committee condemns Israeli strikes killing its staff in Gaza
Indiscriminate violence and the collective punishment of Gaza must cease
I sure wonder why Palestinians would get radicalized.
I’d say a fairly high percentage of them agree with what Hamas did. That’s the Islamic world for you.
What’s Hamas mad about? Have they been the subject of unjust oppression or something? As if perhaps the collective world is saying “Well of fucking course this would happen, look at what they are forced to experience”? Are there political options to end the genocidal policies that are reasonable for the continued existence of both people? Are people forced to choose leaders that present the only solution available for the option of a life not under constant oppression like a WWII Warsaw ghetto?
Nah, that can’t be it, they must just hate the Jews or something.
Says the ‘probably’ christian whose people have committed the most genocides in the history of this world.
Correction, that’s any oppressed society for you.
If I lived in Gaza now, I probably would have started to think Hamas were right all along.
And the only reason I’m not, is because I was lucky in my birth lottery. I am here not there. I am safe, and not there in danger for my life.
It’s literally just luck.
Not everybody is so lucky.
I wish cooperation was a lot more typical in the world, instead of the egoistic and power hungry normal that it is. Doing whatever one can do to get an upper hand, instead of just trying to make the world a better place. In the long run, we all would benefit.
Hammas killed more Palestinians than Israel did. When they came to power they commited mass murder of opposing political parties within Gaza Strip. Hammas is a fanatic religious group. They took both the residents of Gaza Strip and Israel hostage.
But would the people present in Gaza currently know that?
All they would see and feel are airstrikes and bombs being dropped on them.
The point is, this is going to create far more radicalism than it would solve.
Are you hinting that the Palestine people are removed? They know it. Does it make better? No. It’s a cluster fuck
The Palestine people are mostly kids
Israel won’t mind. Just less Palestinians to worry about.

You know though. I can see this but there is also the bombing. I feel like both of these at the same time is a rock and hard place. If they just did the cutoff at least civilians might be able to refugee someplace.

Again, if there is a known safe haven, guerilla fighters will use it.
So…
Are you saying the IDF are idiots for thinking Hamas will stay in the north?
Or are you saying it’s obvious bullshit that IDF will leave the South alone if the north actually does evacuate?
🇮🇱: “Evacuate 1.1 million people in 24 hours so that we can say we didn’t commit war crimes.”
🇵🇸: “Are you going to donate buses, hospital supplies and temporary housing so that we can, you know, handle that?”
🇮🇱: “Do I look like fucking Red Cross to you? This is a bomb threat.”
🇵🇸: “Who’s the terrorist now?”
Palestine was never terrorist. Only hamas.
Try to convince Israel that Palestine is not a terrorist state (impossible)
Isn’t that the idea?
It’s totally okay to label Hamas as terrorists if they act like terrorists. But that doesn’t make all Palestinians terrorists. And it’s obviously not okay to order an entire ethnic population to just go somewhere else or to attack civilians.
Israel is a genicidal apartheid state.
Hammas local command is built in tunnels under an hospital in Gaza Strip. The options Israel have are: A. Don’t hurt Hammad to save Palestinians but suffer more attacks on Israelis. B. Kill every last hammas member, getting some Palestinians dead, but saving its own citizans.
Shity options, one has to be made.
On the grand scale of things, Hammad directly killed more Palestinians than Israel did. They murdered membera of FATAH for example. So if this war actually eliminate Hammas (spoiler: it won’t) than it will save the life of many Palestinians that don’t agree with Hammas.
But wannabe leftists on the Interwebs from safe westarn countries want to be cute and defend Hammas cus they are supposdly the opersed party.

You reply like a removed propoganda bot. The map you are refering to is misinformation, in 1946 Palestines owned less than 2% of the marked land. The rest was state owned, first by the othmans, then the Brits.
Israel is commiting many war crimes, but genocide is not one of them. On the count of killing Palestinians Hammas is way ahead and killed much more than Israel did.
And for your last paragraph, I already wrote, it will not eliminate Hammas.
The reason Hammas attacked Israel has nothinng to do with the shit you said, it’s because Hammas is a religious group that want to kill all Jews world wide, and then put the shria law every where. They are not different from ISIS.

If Hamas cares about Gaza residents they will voluntarily hand themselves over.
You think Israel would stop if Hamas turned themselves in? /s
That is sadly what I fear, too. They had the Gaza strip locked down in all sorts of ways before and they will not award the Palestinians any breathing room…
Have they not tried to reach terms about 16 times already? Palestine refused all attempts even ones that offered 2 states.
Source?
Yes. Israel is defending themselves against Hamas terrorists, they don’t fight for fun. “It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don’t want victories anymore.” - Golda Meir.
Empty rhetoric and hollow quotes. Hope whatever state apparatus you’re with is paying you overtime.
What on Earth would lead you to think Hamas cares about Gaza residents? The whole point of Hamas’s attacks was to provoke this sort of Israeli reaction. The innocent Palestinians who are going to die in this attack are no more than disposable pawns and human shields to Hamas.
