What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

It would seem that their plan for Gaza after the war ends is that there is no Gaza or Palestinian people after the war ends.

Always has been

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

I think they do they're just not willing to say it for international media. They want either total elimination of the Palestinian people or they move somewhere else. The starving out open-air prison treatment is ending - on Israel's hideous terms or on Palestine's terms but it sure seems like the old strategy is over.

They've already said they are no longer responsible for food, water, electricity, sewage or anything else in Gaza. Their plan is to bomb the shit out of it, annex probably half of it, and and anyone who wants to live in the post-apocalyptic ruins in the other half is welcome to.

I don't believe them. That is not how a modern military works.

The plan is that there is no Gaza and there are no Palestinians

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

Because "after the war ends" is totally when military planning really kicks in.

[–] SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

You have way too much faith in the military. The lack of an “exit strategy” was the main criticism against the US led Iraq war. The situation in Israel in particular has not screamed “we have a plan” for the last half century.

[–] sadreality@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Like Iraq and afganistan?

[–] Zippit@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

All I hear/read is about making Gaza a parking lot. So yes, that's their exit strategy. Just have to kill 2.3 million people.
