Hamas’ brutal attacks in Israel on October 7 killed at least 1,400 people and the group took more than 200 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. In the wake of the assault, Israel launched an aerial bombardment of Gaza that Palestinian health officials say has killed more than 5,000 people. Israel also announced a “complete siege” on the enclave, withholding vital supplies of water, food and fuel.

    Yes, the literal definition of crime is against the law.

    I haven’t heard of them breaking the law ever - didn’t hear about Palestine either until they crossed the border a few weeks ago.

        Yes, last one i saw was something like 1,500 years of history that lead to this one?

        Unfortunately the blockade we are discussing is only a few weeks old.

          Nah the blockades has been around since 2005 when Hamas took over in Gaza, after Israel demilitarized and demobilized the entire region (this was intended to occur in the west bank as well, but with the way things went in Gaza that idea died). And the blockades has intensified over the years coinciding with attacks.

          After this, we are likely looking at an extended dmz if I give my honest thoughts.

            Yeah, your comment isn’t “fuck Israel” so you got downvoted too. This whole post reeks of biased agenda rather than discussions.
