“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.”

    But the thing is Hamas fucked themselves and the people of Palestine with their recent attack. No one on an international level will bat an eye at what Israel does with the Palestine in the near future. Hamas knew that there would have to be a massive response from Israel but the attack was allowed to take place and no one in Palestine cared enough to stop it. Anyone innocent needs to flee for a border because the laws of physics are just going to play out now.

      “no one will bat an eye”

      Where were all the batting eyes when the shoe was on the other foot?

          No one was coming to their rescue anyway. Everyone else was already turning a blind eye to Israel’s abuses.

            Unfortunately the perception of the people of Palestine as being victims of a more powerful state protected them from a lot of actions Israel could have taken but didn’t.

              “people recognizing state sanctioned violence made it a lot harder to commit crimes against humanity, so be happy they’ve been allowed to live this long”

                They chose this fight. If Egypt doesn’t want them because Palestinians have caused coup attempts and general terroristic activities in their country. They can swim if they like.

              hm, there’s a name for illegally occupying territory of a foreign nation while claiming they can’t claim that territory. Ah right, colonialism. The very act of building settlements in someone else’s territory is an act of aggression, it’s in no way peaceful.
