Israeli officials have signaled they do not intend to relinquish this territory. These areas, where the military has deployed, are considered “no-go zones” and Palestinians risk being shot if they approach.

    I’m curious to know why they chose to stop where they did. Is it a matter of “This is what we reckon we can hold”? Or is it “These areas are the most valuable so we want those”? Or “This is how much we reckon we can take before someone declares war”?

    Gaza isn’t even contiguous anymore. Where there was one territory, there are effectively now four. One big one, one small, one very small, one tiny. I can’t imagine the Israelis are going to allow people to move from one territory to the other so why did they split it up like that?

      They can starve the population and take the area anyway so why continue fighting and gaining more and more bad press and investigation. Instead they’ll spend that time covering up their crimes and hiding the people they would have a hard time protecting for the moment.

        So why not just take all of it? The world isn’t gonna do shit about it, so why bother with the splitting of Gaza up into unmanageable little chunks?

          Maybe they are playing for gazans to finally ask for Gaza to be absorbed by Israel so they can claim it wasn’t genocide?

      This is closer to just standard imperialism, which Hitler also did. Evil? Yes, but a different kind of evil.

      Also I think Israel literally has a concentration camp, so if you want to make that comparison, it’s right there.

      Imperialism is horribly evil and it deserves to be called out by name. A part of the imperialist process is a genocide, which is what we’re seeing here.

    Israel being Israel. They’ve been doing this since their inception. We need strong international sanctions against Israel. We need to stop this slow moving genocide.

      What, including the 10,000+ children killed so far by Israel? Yeah I’m sure they were asking for it. Definitely a proportional response. GTFO

        Weird how you seem to go straight to Hitler. It’s just odd to have someone go there so quickly. You seem to have some kind of weird kink maybe?

        Quick question, do you think Hamas attacking Israel by surprise a slaughtering and kidnapping civilians was justified?

        Do you really think what happened to Shani Louk was justified?

          It’s really not a weird comparison. The deep irony of the situation - that the group that was most famously a victim of the Nazi Holocaust is responsible for perpetuating comparable modern day atrocities - make it almost unavoidable

          That vote is a. Contested and b. They haven’t had an election in the lifetime of (prewar) like 80% of their population was alive “they” didn’t make anyone a leader. “They” are mostly children of you look at demographics.

          You’re a bigot, you just wanted an excuse so you don’t feel as bad about it. I’ll bet money you’ve said something to the effect of “glassing” Iran, Iraq and/or Afghanistan as well, be honest how correct am I?

            That’s a lot of excuses to justify support for a terrorist group.

            Sorry buddy Palestinians put them in power and tolerated them for decades. You can try to scrub history but they are reaping what they’ve sown for decades.

              One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. Like the ANC and Nelson Mandela, who was a worldwide wanted terrorist for decades.

                Yeah no, Nelson Mandela didn’t sanction the kidnapping and killing of civilians.

                  Oh so Israel is terrorist as well, im glad we agree as Hamas was a Israeli project they’ve admitted to and netenyahu keeps getting busted talking to and handing over suitcases full of cash.

                  Fuck right off with your bullshit hedging, the country with a series of open air concentration camps isn’t going to win the morality fight.

                  He did however sanction and plan dozens of bombings, and maintained contact with a militant arm of his organization that killed plenty of people.
