Israel is a terrorist state.
Not even a state. Just a colonial project by terrorist settlers.
By colonists, for colonists
After 24 hours Israel will slaughter who is left and pretend like everyone who isn’t Hamas had time to leave. This smells like a thin concession so Israel can pretend like they follow international laws for whatever comes next.
And then many of those who managed to flee end up dying too, since they have nowhere to go.
Also, large crowds fleeing in panic are not exactly save in themselves. And don’t even start with people with disabilities.
so Israel can pretend like they follow international laws for whatever comes next.
They aren’t part of the Geneva Convention, so they’ll likely stick with the their own (US-backed) rules.
They’re just offering it as a fig leaf that pundits can use as a talking point, and basically every journalist that isn’t Medhi Hassan is just going to neglect to push back and mention the practical impossibility of evacuating Gaza City.
That would be near impossible even if organized.
It literally just feels like a guise so that when humans rights groups or the international community raise questions about it they can be like, “But we warned them!!”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
JERUSALEM/GAZA/TEL AVIV, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Israel’s military chief said “Now is the time for war” as his country amassed tanks near the Gaza Strip ahead of a planned ground invasion to annihilate the Palestinian militant Hamas group that rules the enclave and was behind deadly weekend attacks.
On Friday he was due to meet Jordan’s King Abdullah and Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Palestinian Authority in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, as part of a Middle East tour aimed at stopping spillover from the war.
America’s top diplomat, Blinken planned to visit key U.S. allies Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates - some with influence on Hamas, an Islamist group backed by Iran.
Israel’s parliament approved Netanyahu’s emergency unity government late on Thursday, including a number of centrist opposition lawmakers, to display the country’s united determination to fight Hamas.
Japan has arranged for a charter flight to depart Tel Aviv on Saturday for its citizens wishing to leave Israel, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters on Friday.
Gazans, mainly descendants of refugees who fled or were expelled from homes in Israel at its founding in 1948, have suffered economic collapse and repeated Israeli bombardment under a blockade since Hamas seized power there 16 years ago.

I see someone has an Endlösung in mind. It’s hard to escape the impression that maybe it wasn’t intelligence community incompetence that invited this “perl habor”. And the plans for this do feel like they’ve been in some drawer for a while.
Nothing justifies Hamas but likewise, nothing justifies doing this to the many innocent, the children, the babies, the people just happened to be born in the wrong spot. The average age in Gaza is, iirc, below 18
And go fucking where and how?? They all will just catch the train?? A boat?? A really big bus??
Also
The Israeli military said it would operate “significantly” in Gaza City in the coming days and civilians would only be able to return when another announcement was made.
Famously leaving and returning is very easy for Palestinians and they will have no reservations leaving with a potential of returning.
There’s a history of returning millennia after being forced to leave in that part of the world. I’m sure the Israeli government has a similar timeframe in mind.
Yeah there’s no way the city isn’t just annexed into Israel.
Yeah they are not just going to do that. First they will flatten it and kill anyone who stayed in it THEN they will annex it.
They don’t care. They already cut off the water. The Israeli government is hoping to see as many men, women and children dead in the deserts and plains of the region as possible.
Haven’t you heard? They’re taking a train to go camping.
Ooof.
Just leave bro! Trust us™
Same tactic by israel before. They flat out a building office of AlJazeera & Associated Press back in 2021 with a 1 hour warning. They really dont care if all civilian manage to evacuate or not

Killing journalists, truly a sign of a healthy democracy
Only democracy in the middle east baby! 👉👉
I mean, Gaza is larger than just Gaza city so it could be done eventually I guess but the timeline is laughable.
It’s also one of the most densely populated places in earth. It’s not like they have a million vacant buildings ready to go. You couldn’t do this on a multi-year timeline.
This is barely even a “formality” before a massacre. Israel was looking for an excuse to go all out without any restraint and they got it. It’s fucking tragic that these bastards are playing with civilians lives. Fuck both authorities.
Israel committing apartheid since 1940s
You in 2023: FuCk bOtH SiDeS
It’s a war between genocidal terrorists and apartheid colonialist fascists, with a massive civilian body count on both sides. Can’t we all just be sad about dead kids instead of being cheerleading freaks?

Y’know, I though this @ name was familiar and so I figured I’d take a look.

Israel is genociding and colonising Palestine since about 80 years. Ukraine was genociding Donbass for 8 years.
… yeah, I’m not sure I’m really going to take him seriously on his opinion on geopolitics. Blocked.
Its a one way ticket to erasure of the country of Palestine from world map, sponsored by USA, you fucking dimwit. Israel is not known to be the last apartheid state on the planet for any reason. They are genociding and colonising Palestinians under the Zionist Project for almost 80 years now.
The only reason you do not hear about it is USA is Israel’s military and cyberterrorism backer, and USA, thanks to CFR, NED/CIA, Bilderberg and Murdochs, controls basically 90% of world’s news and TV media.
You want to point out where he’s wrong or do you want to admit that you haven’t researched these conflicts?
Israel is a terrorist state.
Are we going to get an ICC warrant for Netanyahu or that is a special preserve for the Russian leader now.
Israel’s wet dream, an excuse to displace half of all Palestinians from their land, bomb it all to the ground, if there are casualties; “Hey, you were warned.”
Don’t get me wrong. Fuck Hamas, but also fuck Israel, fuck neocolonialism, fuck propaganda/disinformation about baby beheadings and free Palestine!
Don’t forget fuck religion. Let’s not pretend like that’s not a core issue.
Fuck religion and self righteous religious zealots who’ve abandoned reason and humanity
This scene from a game has some resemblance of the situation. Plus, israel is using white phosporus

If you’re gonna link to That Scene from Spec Ops you gotta include a “Seriously Gnarly Shit Ahead” content warning or something.
Hamas is the only defense of Palestine. Fuck you liberal!
Where are they supposed to go? Egypt closed their border too. Israel wants to kill them and then say “we warned you”. The israel government and Hamas need to pay for every citizen that is hurt
Do no forget that your government supports israel
They do?
