Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

“The same order applied to all U.N. staff and those sheltered in U.N. facilities — including schools, health centers and clinics,” Mr. Dujarric said.

The U.N. was told that the marker dividing the north from south was Wadi Gaza, the statement said.

The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon in a closed consultation format

      Maybe not false flag but I absolutely believe they let it happen on purpose. Netanyahu and Co have been setting this up for years after creating hamas and making sure they were the only governing body that could exist there.

      This is the final step to their plan to “solve” the Gaza strip problem. A sort of… final solution I guess?

      They did not need to, they created a situation where this was bound to happen, and then they just followed the mantra: Never let a good crisis go to waste.

      Even if it is, speculating about that without any solid evidence just makes your argument seem weak imo.

      Bad things happen and there are those who are more than willing to take advantage of those events. Doesn’t matter if its tsunamis or genocides: there’s people looking to exploit the situation for their own gain and have the power to do so at the suffering of huge numbers of people. That doesn’t mean resort business owners are making artificial earthquakes.

      After the debacle with the “beheaded babies”, I’m going through and evaluating every claim that’s been made. The mistake that was made before the Iraq War - the public failing to hold the government’s feet to the fire over claims about weapons, war crimes, etc., to make sure they had a basis in reality - unfolded into somewhere near a million deaths. That kind of failure can’t ever be acceptable.
