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.

It's almost like they're concentrating people in some way...

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.

Talk about weasel words, holy shit 💀

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.

I assume you're joking with the last bit.

Being sarcastic. And typo at the end, missing question mark.

Easier to genocide people in a dense small group

this is just completely fucked up.

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.

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

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.

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
