42. The IDF insisted that Palestinians should move to the south, and thousands did.
Tue Dec 5, 2023, 12:47 PM

The south is also where food, water, and medicine have been coming in from Egypt. The IDF then bombed much of the north to smithereens, including homes, schools, and hospitals. Some may praise Israel for telling the Palestinians to leave the south of Gaza, but the IDF knows quite well that they have no place to go. There is little food, water, medical care, or even homes in the north to go back to. So now that they’ve crowded hundreds of thousands of people into southern Gaza with no place to escape, they just keep bombing them. And, no, it is not Egypt’s responsibility to allow a million Palestinians into their country because they know that Israel would never allow them back into Gaza.

When will Israel stop their killing? Is 50,000 civilians enough? 100,000? 1,000,000? And at the end of all that killing, the Hamas leaders will still be alive and in another country. This war is no longer about rooting out the Hamas terrorists. It is about erasing Gaza infrastructure and decimating its economy so no one can live there. It is about erasing Palestinians.

If Hamas did not choose to break the ceasefire, there would be no bombs. tritsofme Dec 2023 #29
That is not a reason claudette Dec 2023 #32
Hamas is the only party I've blamed. Interesting that you seem to identify them as the victim. tritsofme Dec 2023 #36
Oh good god. Amazing that anyone would ever believe or claim that Hamas is a victim. Oopsie Daisy Dec 2023 #40

Question. Sal_NV Dec 2023 #35
Just heard Richard Engel say that the Gazans are all behind Hamas in this....Hamas must go. GuppyGal Dec 2023 #6
Do "the Gazans" also need to "go"? David__77 Dec 2023 #13
I'm sure the Arab street will come to their aid. nt GuppyGal Dec 2023 #23
The term "street" is uniquely applied to Arab people and is potentially a stigmatizing generalization. David__77 Dec 2023 #31
Keep cherry picking and keep deflecting....it's all very obvious. GuppyGal Dec 2023 #33
I highly doubt Engel said all Gazans are behind Hamas. Pls provide a link. brush Dec 2023 #51
They both need to stop this. The longer it goes on the worse it gets. Srkdqltr Dec 2023 #38
IDF alleges that Hamas uses civilian infrastructure-claims which Hamas denies sarisataka Dec 2023 #41
Hamas, the elected government of Gaza, must be held accountable! nt LexVegas Dec 2023 #43
Many children are also being "held accountable". David__77 Dec 2023 #45
That is the fault of Hamas, the elected government of Gaza. nt LexVegas Dec 2023 #46
And claudette Dec 2023 #49
Hamas is being held responsible because they chose to start the war, and then chose the break the ceasefire. tritsofme Dec 2023 #50
No Israeli is pushing Palestinian children in front of bullets to die for a cause. Only Hamas and their allies do. Hellbound Hellhound Dec 2023 #53
