Israel has completely wiped out Rafah, turning a fifth of Gaza’s territory into a giant buffer zone. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently remain in Gaza and facilitate the ethnic cleansing of its people.

    Disgusting. The whole world watches this genocide being carried out in full view by the depraved, shameless, Zionists.

    The West has no morality. Gaza is a damning indictment of its rotten hypocritical core.

      It’s not a genocide anymore. We should start calling it what it is, a holocaust. The entire systematic destruction/eradication of a people, not just the murder of them, but the entire structural destruction of one.

        This is nothing close to the Holocaust.

        Many Gazans died, more than 50 thousand, but millions are still alive. The number of dead has only been slowly increasing for many months now. Killing as many people as possible is not the goal or there would have been half a million dead already more than a year ago.

        Even the article you write this comment under is about the destruction of houses, not people. According to the article the destruction of houses has a clear goal, enabling tighter control and permanent occupation of the area. Clearing corridors and building infrastructure for control would not be necessary, if they didn’t expect a (hostile) population in the area for years to come.

          Instead of arguing and hair-splitting over exactly how evil this is, how about we just agree on the simple answer of “Yep, that’s some evil shit” and focus the discussion more on what to do about it?

            Trump is the one with the biggest influence, but he won’t do anything. Resistance against Trump in the is weak.

            Israelis might be able to replace Netanyahu. The protests in the streets and the rifts in government, see head of Shin Bet, are getting stronger. So supporting those Israelis opposed to him is sensible.

            Supporting Palestinians opposed to Hamas makes sense as well. If Hamas let the hostages go and lay down their arms, the war would end. That’s what PA President Abbas demands for example. There are protests in Gaza as well.

            Cheering on the armed resistance only gets more Palestinians killed.

              The problem is zionism, not netanyahoo or H4mAs!!!.

              The zionists will never replace their genocidal ideology. It’s their identity. No zionism, no “israel”.

                Zionism is simply nationalism of the Jewish people, self determination in their homeland.

                Palestinian nationalism is also nationalism for self determination in their homeland.

                The solution is not the obliteration of the other, but to divide or share the land.
