    Seems to be a humanitarian crisis of their own doing…

    Imagine if all their concrete and rebar had gone to actual humanitarian projects instead of tunnels and bases to conduct terrorism from…

      Israel could end this right now by allowing aid into Gaza or showing Gazans to evacuate properly.

        Evacuation routes have been implemented… Hamas snipers shot civilians trying to leave through corridors.

        The war ends today if the hostages are released.

          The IDF is not allowing them to leave the combat zone. Just move to different parts. If they were allowed to evacuate they would be in IDP camps outside Gaza. Also, i’d love to see proof for that claim. Proof like the videos of IDF soldiers shooting unarmed civilians with white flags.

            You can lob all the accusations you want to distract from the issue. If the entire strip actually did humanitarian work instead of terrorism, it would be in a much better place.

          Oh come on. It was never about the hostages. If anything, Netanyahu must have had a cramp trying to hold back a huge smile when he heard about the hostages. It is the perfect alibi to wage this war. He doesn’t want the hostages released, they are his best reason for the war. At least for starting it. It is obvious there is no intention to stop even if they will be released now. If I remember correctly, they suggested a two month ceasefire for all hostages. Not the end of the war. Just a short break, and God knows how likely it is to be broken.

        Yes, that would be the perspective of someone who has no issue with terrorism being used to achieve political goals.

        I’m sure you also believe that the far right is fully within it’s rights to kidnap senators and storm capitols?

          Apparently you can sponsor a missile strike on behalf of the Israeli government in Gaza.

          I’m sure you also believe that the far right is fully within it’s rights to kidnap senators and storm capitols?

          They’ve gone far beyond that. Just this week, a team of IDF gunmen broke into a hospital and shot the place up because it hosted injured Palestinian politicians.
