Gaza is now under complete siege… journalists are no longer reporting because of the danger, 7 of them were killed. This is fucked.

It’s awful. I think it’s gonna get worse.

I wonder if this might finally be it for Gaza. It sounds like Israel is pulling out all stops to completely shut down and take over the strip.

I mean...after what's happened I can sort of see why, but it's still horrible

I think it'll be like the Sri Lankan government's approach to the Tamil separatists. Roll in and put an end to it all whatever it takes, collateral damage and reputation be damned, they probably think 30 years down the track it won't matter how they ended the war, just that they did... Although the stakes and geopolitical consequences are higher with this conflict
