Hamas has called on Palestinians to stay in their homes after Israel issued sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s more than 2.3 million people ahead of an expected ground offensive.
The Hamas authority for refugee affairs today told residents in the north of the territory to “remain steadfast in your homes and to stand firm in the face of this disgusting psychological war waged by the occupation”.
Gaza is more densely populated than LA and they have no electricity, water, or fuel.
The only exit is thru Egypt, and Israel keeps blowing it up.
Even if the message got to everyone, there’s no way people could do what Israel told them.
Israel knows this. They weren’t trying to “help” by announcing they’re going to flatten half of Gaza, they want to cause panic and riots.
In this specific case isreal asked residents of Gaza city, a subpart of the Gaza strip to move to a more southern position in the Gaza strip. Like asking people to move from Manhattan to Brooklyn because they are going to blow up Manhattan. People are capable of moving within the Gaza strip. That doesn’t mean there will be housing for them however.
Even if this analogy was representative, this would ALSO be a complete mess to try and do and that’s in a city with working roads, fuel, transportation options, easy access to telecoms/information, and support personnel. Even with all that, it would not be possible to do in 24 hours.
I don’t think the analogy helped

I agree that they should try, that wasn’t the part I was commenting on

And then they bomb and target those places specifically. Israel is staging a genocide. This statements are just lip service to pretend that they are following some formalism of humanitarian law.

That is patently, true.

Whatever the case, they bombed it. They should have known the variability in where it would land and called off the operation when they saw the humanitarian corridor was in that zone.

Definitely. It was an inhuman, evil act.
Was anybody actually hurt?
Telling people to go to an area and then bombing a valid target next to it is scary, sure, but it’s not a deliberate attempt to kill civilians.
Did you read the article? I quote: “There were casualties.”
Sure, but you really shouldn’t tell people a zone is safe if there’s a decent probability an attack could spill over into it.
Lmao and you take them at face value. You’re either a shill or gullible as fuck.
I tried browsing his comment history because I had the same assessment, and honestly, it’s 50/50.
My best guess is that he’s just so fervently pro-Israel that if he ever comes across anything that doesn’t 100% confirm his own biases, he immediately turns away.
