Highlight:

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

    “no one will bat an eye”

    Where were all the batting eyes when the shoe was on the other foot?

      when did Israel invade hamas territory, kill hundreds of innocent civilians, capture hundreds more and then threaten to execute the hostages?

        you haven’t been following this shitshow for long have you? Look up Israels illegal settlements, both sides in this are evil and don’t give a shit about civilian lives.

          Look up Israels illegal settlements

          The west bank has nothing to do with Gaza or Hamas

          Fatah runs the west bank

            what the…

            those two regions are inhabited by the same people, from the (former) same country. Fatah runs the West Bank yes, that does not suddenly make the people there non-Palestinians. Hamas still uses the issues in the West Bank as ammunition in their propaganda against Israel because the Palestinians in Gaza, surprise, care about the Palestinians in the West Bank.

          settlements are by definition peaceful. rocket attacks are the polar opposite.

            hm, there’s a name for illegally occupying territory of a foreign nation while claiming they can’t claim that territory. Ah right, colonialism. The very act of building settlements in someone else’s territory is an act of aggression, it’s in no way peaceful.

        No one was coming to their rescue anyway. Everyone else was already turning a blind eye to Israel’s abuses.
