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”.

    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

        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.
