JERUSALEM, July 15 (Reuters) - An Israeli scheme to move hundreds of thousands of already uprooted Palestinians to a so-called "humanitarian city" in Gaza has led politicians to spar with the defence establishment, but officials say a practical plan has yet to be crafted.

They'll deem anyone outside the camp to be Hamas, then declare that Hamas has a super secret bat cave under the camp and bomb it

My first thought was that this was arranging to put fish in a barrel, to allude to a certain metaphor, but then I realised that it was more likely the other way around and it's a concentration camp, and your comment was already here.

And then I remembered how camps usually go and that it would be both at the same time.

So... this is for Gazans who "do not want to live under Hamas", but they wouldn't be allowed to leave.

It seems to me like Israel is creating a concentration camp and will declare that anyone outside of it is Hamas and they can kill them all with impunity.
