"No food or medical supplies have entered Gaza for nine weeks, and Israeli forces have now seized about 70% of the territory as military buffer or civilian no-go zones, pushing 2.3 million people and aid operations into ever-smaller areas – which are no longer designated as “humanitarian zones”."

It's a massive terrorist attack, I don't have an issue with them going after terrorist cells that perpetrated it.

They had the right to defend themselves into another sovereign territory? After allowing (while knowing) an attack by a terrorist group to happen on their soil without any proper response? And of course our 21st century mind is too short sighted for the bigger picture of why the terrorist guerilla group even exists??

Just stop this mental gymnastics. We spent some time now learning history, what leaders should have already known. There is nothing forgivable in this war. It's just a continuation and finalization of their lebensraum plan from the 40s, full on genocidal Columbian colonialism perpetrated by Zionists.

I had this argument with an Israeli yesterday. I had to break it with him that I supported Israel responding post Oct 7, but it took about two weeks for me to change my mind, I feared and knew it was turning into this. Got called an antisemite. I’m just more of a Yitzhak Rabin than a Bibi.

The only small good you can potentially take from it is at least they want the land.

Otherwise it'd probably be Ypres 2.0

>Areas where 99% of all plants still die remain off limits. For example, there are two small areas of land close to Ypres and the Woëvre where arsenic constitutes up to 176 grams per kilogram (18%) in the soil.

They are compared to the nazis often, but it's like Israeli regime are using the nazis as a benchmark for how to be even more disgustingly inhumane

I can't see how anybody in the west can justify this. Yes, they had a right to defend themselves but they've gone way, way to far.
