I thought this article showed how crazy what’s going on is. It’s like a terrorist organization had infiltrated Manhattan and you respond by bombing it and telling people to move south (all while you’ve blockaded all fuel and resources even to make the move or find shelter in October and now November once you’ve moved). Of course Hamas has human shields. Where is it even possible for Hamas to exist without Human shields? Where is it possible for Gazans to safely relocate? There are 2.1-2.3M people in this tiny area, all under complete and total blockade.

And the rush to do this doesn’t make any sense to me either. As I understand it, Hostages have died under this bombing rampage. So it’s not a rush to save the hostages. If Israel is serious about eradicating Hamas without any civilian causalities, why isn’t it setting up pathways for Gazans to seek real refuge where they will no be bombed by Israel before starting the military operation? It could simply along with the US and UN guarantee to pay Egypt for hosting Gazan refugees and guarantee their right to return after the military operation was completed. But Netanyahu’s government certainly hasn’t done that.

I think Hamas officials and fighters belong in front of the ICC in the Hague. But I think the same of Netanyahu and his cabinet and ministers.

It’s almost exactly the same area as Philadelphia with nearly a million more people in it.
