The Israeli military has told Palestinian civilians living in north Gaza that if they don’t evacuate to the south, they will be considered “an accomplice in a terrorist organization,”
The warning was made in threatening leaflets dropped by Israeli drones on Saturday. “Urgent warning, to residents of Gaza. Your presence north of Wadi Gaza puts your life in danger. Whoever chooses not to leave north Gaza to the south of Wadi Gaza might be identified as an accomplice in a terrorist organization,” the leaflets said, according to Reuters.
Israel previously ordered the evacuation of northern Gaza, an area that’s home to 1.1 million people. Since Gaza is under blockade, the only option for Palestinians in the north is to flee to the south, which is also under constant Israeli bombardment.
Some Gazans have fled to the south, while others have refused to leave their homes or have sought shelter at hospitals, hoping they will not be targeted in the Israeli onslaught, but Israel is ordering hospitals to be evacuated. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, Israel ordered the evacuation of Al-Quds hospital, which is housing more than 400 patients and 12,000 displaced civilians.
Since Israel has unleashed its bombing campaign on Gaza in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attack, at least 4,651 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including 1,756 children, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. On the Israeli side, at least 1,405 people have been killed.
Gazans are also suffering from food and water shortages due to the Israeli siege. A limited number of aid trucks have been allowed to enter Gaza from Egypt, which included medical supplies but no fuel to power hospital generators. Aid agencies have said the aid that has been let in is just a “drop in the ocean” for Gaza’s 2.3 million residents.
That’s a liberal interpretation by Israel. We are talking about human lives, on both sides. I’m not terribly fond of having this level of interpretation or perhaps even dictates issued forth from Israel… There must be some International laws that can be pursued, hopefully, not only with regard to human lives but also in terms how such events can be gotten away with by Israel, with any kind of legitimacy.
Israel has every right to be concerned with any kind of terroristic activity, certainly, but questions should and must be raised about the measures applied by Israel in response.
Collective punishment, should not be allowed.
Collective punishment is against the law, as is genocide, but it does not count for Israelis.
But watch how they cry and can’t understand when people hate them. They expect to be loved. Killing other people’s children is ok, just don’t touch their children. To block food, water, energy and medicine for Palestinians including young babies and toddlers, young children and pregnant women. It is justified in their eyes, Palestinians are human animals according to Israeli government officials, and our president joins the club fanning the flames of hate. But they want special treatment for Americans.
They plant hate and expect to earn love back.
Fanning the flames ?? More like hosing the flames with high pressure gasoline. But blowback is coming
Can you explain why Egypt kept the border with Gaza mostly closed except for a small amount of aid? Israel closing the border with Gaza makes sense, they just lost 1200 plus citizens to an attack from Gaza. In any case, the border between Gaza and Israel will remain closed for years after this attack, so the fate of Gaza citizens will now be in the hands of Egypt.
The Israelis blocked all entrances, not even food and medical aid was allowed in, and even now only 20 trucks could pass to bring supply for some 2 million people while some two hundred trucks were
not allowed in and waiting. The audacity of the war criminals in DC and Tel Aviv is insulting all people with a brain and human decency. I oppose the crimes and support the human rights of the Palestinians. Not in my name. They are the baby killers, killing some 100 children per day with bombs including white phosphate. Do you approve of that? Silence equals approval.
Egypt can’t take care of its own people, Palestinians would be permanent refugees. You want to white wash the Israeli war crimes. Gaza has been a concentration camp for decades, the people are original forced Palestinian refugees from Israel. Gaza has been fenced in and blockaded for decades. Almost a century of a slow motion genocide by the Israeli war criminals with complicity of the USA/European war criminals.
Why don’t we offer the Palestinians a home? Why do we fund the genocide, and the robbery of Palestinian homes on the WB for the Israeli settlers. The US government can’t even do that much because they don’t want to, they approve and finance it. Why do we support and fund the slaughter in Gaza and the WB and Ukraine, why?
Look at the trail of destruction the American hegemon leaves behind on continents thousands of miles removed from the USA? OUR LEADERS COMMIT WAR CRIMES IN OUR NAME ON PEOPLE AROUND THE GLOBE, WHY? Our working middle class is being impoverished and shrinking!!! People here at home file for bankruptcy because they can’t pay the medical bills, WHY?
“The Israelis blocked all entrances” How did they blocked the gate between Egypt and Gaza? Maybe I missed it, I still don’t see why Egypt did not allow aid trucks to enter Gaza via Egypt for nearly two weeks.
As for the bombing of Gaza, that is on Hamas. Had they not attacked Israel on Oct 7 there would be no need to bomb Gaza. Remember the old wise tale, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”.
Had there not been a Nakba, or a 16 year blockade, or the Abraham Accords that left the Palestinians out of the equation perhaps there would not have been the reaction of Hamas, out of despair, to attack. History did not begin on 7 Oct 23. “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you” ignores history and appears to be justification of ethnic cleansing, genocide.
Israel has bombed the gaza side of the border crossing with Egypt. Aid convoys cannot go forward without Israeli permission. They let 20 trucks in in exchange for the 2 American hostages. Israel fears that supplies of fuel and food will help Hamas fighters. Plus be a way to smuggle weapons.
Hamas attacked Israelis to pay back for the Israeli’s treatment of their parents and themselves from the moment they were born. They are traumatized children and the Gaza/WB pressure cooker exploded, what on earth do you expect?
You are brainwashed to hate people you don’t even know, Hamas hates people who have robbed them of a decent human life. I can understand their feeling, but I can’t understand yours.
BTW, the Israelis blocked all aid to enter Gaza, food, water, energy and medical supply. That is well known and supported by all the criminals in western democracies, USA/NATO. I am enraged and deeply ashamed for our so-called government, the Biden administration and the congress. It makes me want to p*ke.
Everyone has reasons for what they do.
Having reasons for doing X does not necessarily justify doing X. The Manson Family had reasons for murdering Sharon Tate and Friends.
You seem to think that X is justified if you agree with the reasons, and unjustified if you don’t agree with the reasons. But conduct can be immoral in and of itself, and it can be immoral even if the other side’s conduct is also immoral.
Also applies to stateless societies of old, where the strongest tribes/clans beat the crap out of those they met in other stateless societies.
Have I ever said differently?
I did not justify anything, it is an explanation of why. In order to cure the illness we must understand what causes the illness. Without knowing the root causes of the problem we can’t solve it.
Israel to Gazans: “Everyone head south to avoid our destruction.”
Forthcoming message to Gazans who made it through the rubble, missiles and bombs:
“Please gather in large groups/camps, so we don’t have to waste too many bombs/missiles.”
The Israelis are NOT the hand that feeds Palestinians, it is the hand that kills and humiliates Palestinians. Hamas is the Palestinians’ Irgun.
The plan is for the Palestinians to be forced into the Sinai desert. To die.
….because they don’t want to be a party to the ethnic cleansing crusade in Gaza, that’s why. They might also want to strike a deal with Israel to go in together to get the Gazan oil and gas deposits. And, because Israel already made that exit impassable with bombings, and because Israel created the Ghetto so it’s their responsibility. That’s why.
IT IS TERRORISM ON A GRANDER SCALE!!!!!!
Collective punishment and guilt is part of the Mosaic Law and has become a part of US domestic policy as well.
That is the real problem, common sense can’t cure fanatics.
criminals and murderers ignore laws.
Collective punishment and guilt are in the Torah and expanded on later in the Rabbinic texts.
genocide.
good to see you over here, this is a real forum over here,
none of that phony outrage about gender BS here,
this is all about wars and the financial funding of such.
You must be retarded.
yes i am the retarded. WTF man?
Glad you admitted it.
should i go over to that other forum to respond to you? WTF would you say that to me after all these years?
After all these years?lol i have no idea who you are.
ok whatever you say IRISH with the upside-down flag and 58,000 comments. whatever you say mr. sneaky man.
Sorry missy voyeuristic clown.you make no sense.
My interpretation is that the planned Dresdenizing of Northern Gaza demands that Israel must order all non-combatants to leave. Those who do not leave are not terrorists but are combatants.
They are neither. They are people who are designated for death by Israel and the United States. When they are gone, in the place of the rubble will spring up wonderful, beautiful settler communities, with sidewalks, parks, roads, hospitals, all of the fruits of a carefree, wonderful lives. Raves on the Sabbath will begin anew,with no trapped, poor, despondent prisoners of a concentration camp on the other side of a barrier that will no longer be needed. The former inmates? Gone to die in the Sinai.
And then the world will be told that they left by their own choice.
Nothing will be done. Just silence.
but Israel is ordering hospitals to be evacuated
obviously because hospitals will be targeted.
don’t forget to order churches and schools to be evacuated.
so that you can target them as well.
way to go Israelis, giving them a chance to run away first.
Churches and hospitals have been hit.
yes. way to go “moral guys”
I warned you before I shot you. I am absolved.
They throw around the term “terrorist” almost as much as “anti-Semite”
Question: Is Hamas a terrorist organization or the government of Gaza?
Answer: Yes.
As Dr. Chomsky has written about, the election in 2006 brought about a result that Israel and the U.S. would not recognize, even though former President Jimmy Carter and others monitored the election and said it was a fair election. Almost immediately, the U.S. and Israel sprung into action. A blockade was put into effect. That blockade has been in effect for 16 years.
Not a total blockade, just restrictions on certain items. Now Israel is putting on a total blockade from goods entering via Israel. That blockade will last a long time.
It has been a total blockade.
Question: Is criticism of the government of Israel, anti-Semitism? No.
Answer to your question: Yes, but then when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, Osama and his band of guerillas, were termed freedom fighters. When we invaded, they were called “terrorists”, proving that the term is a political one.
Hamas is isn’treal
Israel previously ordered the evacuation of northern Gaza, an area that’s home to 1.1 million people. Since Gaza is under blockade, the only option for Palestinians in the north is to flee to the south, which is also under constant Israeli bombardment.
Yes, but if people in the south are killed, they will just be collateral damage. Whereas in the north, they will be killed as collaborators of Hamas. Dead either way and Israel exonerated either way. And if the UN has a problem with that, the auto-veto is always handy.
We knew this, but it is good to get a willing confession from the criminals.
This is precisely what Norman Finkelstein predicted during his interview by Chris Hedges. I said he doubted the land invasion, but Israel would bomb the North Gaza to rubble, then celebrate. And, he threw out there that Israel could use a tactical nuke on Iran. Palestinians will be forced into Egypt, to the Sinai desert…………to die. The world sits back and does nothing. The U.S. will be an accomplice to MURDER.
HERE’S AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE ON THE HISTORY OF HOW THIS ALL CAME ABOUT FROM wsws.org:
Israel and the Palestinians: A state founded on dispossession and ethnic cleansing–Part One.
EXCERPT:
In reality it is a casus belli to implement a long-planned campaign
of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Gaza Strip and possibly
even the West Bank and a war on Iran and its allies in Lebanon and
Syria. Netanyahu’s allies in the imperialist centres are one hundred
percent behind him, demonising any opposition to Israel’s fascist
policies as anti-Semitic acts that must be banned.
But can anyone
be in any doubt that Israel is planning a second Nakba? Netanyahu has
made this absolutely clear. He told the 1.1 million Palestinians in
north Gaza to “Leave now,” while the army spokesperson said they would
not be allowed to return “until we say so.” Where they were supposed to
go, no one said. In any event, this did not stop Israel bombing them
where they fled.
By bombing hospitals, schools, churches, safe harbors for the innocents are removed. The plan is to herd the Palestinians to the Rafah passage. From there the Egyptians will move the Palestinians to the Sinai desert to die. There is no way Sisi will allow the Palestinians to integrate into Egyptian society. So, the remaining Palestinians will just die. History will be scrubbed of their existence, their plight for the last 75 years.
Himmler and the Grand Mufti made a plan to herd all the European’s in question into the same area and then bomb them. Must have got that Idea from those two. As I keep saying, don’t hate anyone or anything because you will eventually become what you hate the most. Hate reprograms the brain in a very bad mode of thinking.
God allowed the arrogant inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah to do as they like in their last orgy if they so wish, before raining fire on them and turning their land upsidedown.
Tragedy so near beside them yet so far to be a deterrent. Zionists are hopeless hell chosen ones.
It was a normal meteorite hit – happens all the time, epochal speaking.
Holocaust, here they come.
