Highlight:

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

    No electricity, no food, no water…

    If everyday people have the choice of sitting and starving or doing something about it, I doubt many would go quietly into the night.

    Israel will create the next generation of extremists if they do not kill every single person in Gaza. We’ve seen this in every modern Middle East conflict in the past 40 or so years.

      I always find it odd how people blame “extremists” and the Palestinians for this.

      Israel starts to steal homes, land and killing men, children and women. No one bat an eye to that.

      Then extremists and hate towards Israel came and bam, they are the bad ones suddenly.

      Certainly what Hamas does is entirely wrong however - People cannot expect them be silent and get killed by Israeli forces.

      This is what happens from decades upon decades of oppression.

      This entire conflict was created by Israel stealing land and starting an genocide mission on Palestinians.

        Israel is colonining with supperior force and mostly quite or support world order.

        Palestinians are fucked. And have been for decades.

        They deff should be fighting for it but this is a futile exercise.

        Either way, the world until recently game Israel blank check but public opinion is changing on these human rights violations by an allegededly modern state.

        Gen Z in the US does seem to be all that interested in continue US support. So Israel got about 20 years to either kill them off or having to deal with palestiains under different political conditions which won’t b as favorable.

      Even killing every person in Gaza will just bread more extremists. Gazans are not the only Palestinians and they are not the only ones affected by Israeli oppression.

      Israel should negotiate with Hamas NOW and stop the siege on Gaza fully.

      You think the ones who escape are going to turn over a new leaf? Or the ones looking on from without?

      No, decades of extremist indoctrination that is Gazan education system make extremist. Disinformation is what makes extremists. And it’s all being supported by the whole world. Noone in Gaza needs to work, they have EU+US+Qatar welfare system, they have literal nazi shit in their textbooks, they have their stupid religious excuses too, what do you think a young man raised in that filth would do with his free time except slitting throats and launching rockets?
