Israeli ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of northern Gaza and residents will not be allowed to return home, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said, in what appears to be the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area.

In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”.

International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.

To be fair, it's hard to return to your demolished home when you and your family have been exterminated.

Surprise surprise. Remember when this bullshit first kicked off and they were like "Oh yeah, we'll totally let them back in once the fighting stops"? Yeah, that was never the plan.

"International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon."

"Bibi laughed and said: get fucked loser. The strong do what they will and the meek suffer what they must. Who's going to stop me? Biden? Trump? The rest of the world that isn't doing shit but finger wagging? HA! We won, cry more snowflakes. He then punched a child in the face and continued laughing."

"Biden has remarked on the subject saying: Hurnmenlem.. whaaa? We beat medicare."

I was with you until the end.

If you're going to satirize Biden, you have to do more than just pull direct quotes from him.

Yeah that one's on me, it's really hard to satirize someone that's already a joke. :P

Can I hire you to write my sarcasm for me? Pay's in thoughts and prayers.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 5 points 3 hours ago

Sure! I mainly accept laughs though, thoughts and prayers are worthless where I'm from. :P

Yep, they see the writing on the wall. I wonder if they’ll wait until after inauguration to start allowing Israeli settlers to build towns and beachfront property, or just do it now?

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 32 points 4 hours ago

Probably now. It's not Iike Biden did anything to stop them either.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago
