Israeli officials have signaled they do not intend to relinquish this territory. These areas, where the military has deployed, are considered “no-go zones” and Palestinians risk being shot if they approach.

    So is this like … concentrating… the people into a smaller area, like uh … camp?

      Cynical me can see Netanyahoo say “because of all the dead Palestinians, the area per person has actually gone up for the survivors.”

    Israel being Israel. They’ve been doing this since their inception. We need strong international sanctions against Israel. We need to stop this slow moving genocide.

      And against the US too honestly. I say this as a US citizen. Sanction us until we stop bombing Yemen and supplying arms.

      This is pretty much identical to South African apartheid and American First Nations reservation systems.

      Palestine is done. Nobody inside the territory has the capacity to survive, much less resist. Only a handful of minority groups and insurgent factions outside the territory care to defend them, and the police/military have declared open season on Palestinian liberation as a movement. The rest of the world seems content to allow the Holocaust to play out undeterred.

    I’m curious to know why they chose to stop where they did. Is it a matter of “This is what we reckon we can hold”? Or is it “These areas are the most valuable so we want those”? Or “This is how much we reckon we can take before someone declares war”?

    Gaza isn’t even contiguous anymore. Where there was one territory, there are effectively now four. One big one, one small, one very small, one tiny. I can’t imagine the Israelis are going to allow people to move from one territory to the other so why did they split it up like that?

      They can starve the population and take the area anyway so why continue fighting and gaining more and more bad press and investigation. Instead they’ll spend that time covering up their crimes and hiding the people they would have a hard time protecting for the moment.

        So why not just take all of it? The world isn’t gonna do shit about it, so why bother with the splitting of Gaza up into unmanageable little chunks?

          They’re much more manageable and Israel uses Palestinians as cheap labor, they’re keeping enough around to do the shitty jobs while they find anyone else willing to do it before they absorb the rest.

    Israel became terrorist country financed by US tax payers, Ergo US tax payers are terrorist supporters.

    So this is why Bezos, Musk and company are not paying taxes, the refuse to support terrorists.

    They don’t pay taxes because they are in control of the US. Wtf are you talking about? They 100% support Israel as long as there is money to be made
