The IDF Arabic spokesperson posted images of the civilians evacuating and announced an additional humanitarian corridor, supplementing the one recently established, which will be open for Gazans wishing to relocate southward until 2pm local time.
“Use this opportunity to go south to the other side of Wadi Gaza,” he said, referring to the body of water that delineates the southern and northern parts of the Palestinian territory. “Many are doing so at this time. If you care for yourselves and your loved ones, move south according to our instructions. You can be sure Hamas leaders have already taken care of their own needs.”
It is not like IDF isn’t bombing the south you know, or causing humanitarian catastrophe and refusing to acknowledge it. And also refusing to stop the fighting even to let so much needed humanitarian aid to reach the civilians.
That’s despicable and unforgivable. It screams volumes what your government and IDF thinks about the civilian population of Gaza and how much they really care about those civilians. And all this coming from the “most moral army in the world”. If you can’t see the double standards and extreme hypocrisy in this situation I would say you are either a paid bot or a human being with a very questionable moral values.
What Hamas did is horrible, I agree, but as Antonio Gutierrez said it didn’t happen in a vacuum. Hamas is the reaction of years long military, economic and what not occupation of Gaza and is a symbol of people’s discontent of the status quo. I am pretty sure a similar faction would have emerged in Israel if they were in this situation.
People want to live in peace and have some guarantees that they will be treated equally.
And there are so many reported and documented violations of human rights in Israel against Palestinians prior to this war, who were never properly investigated from Israel or came with the approval of your government.
Do you know how those tunnels first emerged, they were dig, because Gazans were refused the right of free movement.
This Gaza strip even before the war broke out was more or less an open air prison and now it turned into a mass grave and the civilian infrastructure is severely damaged. People lost their homes, family members, their loved ones, neighbours, friends.
And again one wrong doesn’t justify committing another wrong. If you kill my brother this doesn’t give me the right to kill your Ur brother, wife, kids and parents and say oh but you killed my brother.
You will just go into a spiral of violence, hatred and nothing good would emerge from this for years to come. This is the road Israel chose for themselves.
