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”.
You think Israel will just stop and leave the Southern half?
Even if they did, they’re keeping the northern part and annexing it.
But more likely they’ll be invading the southern half immediately after taking the north.
They can’t even leave Gaza, because Israel is attacking the exit to Egypt.
Stop acting like them moving is in any way a valid option. They are literally fucked no matter what they do. And it’s been like this for a long long time.
I’m opposed to what Israel is doing but the truth is that Israel has repeatedly given back land they have captured during conflicts. So yes, they will not be annexing any land. As well, there is way too much international attention on them right now, whereas their approach of taking tiny bites has been subtle enough to avoid causing repercussions, so they most likely just go back to doing that at a later date.
The thing I don’t understand about this invasion is what’s stopping Hamas from just relocating south with the rest of the Palestinians? Sure they’ll lose some heavier equipment that might be hard to move but they don’t have that much of it to begin with. If they stay and fight they’ll lose the equipment anyways, and only end up getting killed. Whereas if they leave with the civilians, then Israel will look stupid after invading Gaza only to find nothing. Huge failure for them.
Literally your first sentence is a lie whilst saying ‘the truth is’
Where do you get your world news?
Apparently I get my world news from the history books, here’s a few examples you can look up:
1967 Israel takes control of the entire Sinai Peninsula
1971 Israel returns Sinai Peninsula to Egypt
1982 Israel invades Lebanon after attacks from militants
1983 - 1985 Israel slowly withdraws from most of southern Lebanon
2000 Israeli completes withdrawal from Lebanon
2005 Israel withdraws all military and civilians from the Gaza Strip and hands over control to the Palestinian Authority
2007 Hamas violently overthrew the PA in Gaza (bet you didn’t cry about this)
2023 Israel withdraws from Jenin in the West Bank after invading
Yeah… after fighting 3 countries and winning so hard they actually gained ground.
After creating a country by a series of escalating bombings of civilian targets, executions of political enemies, executions of religious enemies and you know, stabbings like the current Israelis screech about constantly and use as an excuse to level buildings.
And they never built illegal settlements or evicted Palestinians from their homes. /s
Never claimed otherwise. In fact, I literally mentioned Israel stealing land when I wrote:
I guess that was too abstract?
