Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.
“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.
Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.
But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.
Watching and hoping them quick success, at least for my part. A prolonged war would be the worst thing for everybody except the terrorists.
How do you define success? No more Gaza?
A complete (=utopistic) success would be Hamas being completely destroyed and islamistic extremism discouraged generally. It’s not a great fit because of all kinds of differences of these conflicts, but how the Nazis were deposed at the end of WW2 is a great model for how to eradicate fascists.
Israel is pretty fucking fascist though, what’s should be done to deal with Israel?
I sometimes wish I could be this disconnected from reality or empathy, or perhaps both. It would likely suck for everyone around me, so, I guess I’ll suffer through.
Why do you presume to think I have no empathy or that I would be disconnected from reality?
Aren’t you saying that you wish Israel could hurry up its process of killing 2.2 million people of which half being children?
What is the limit of this “quick success” you are hoping for?
What the fuck, no. Do people seriously think that that is the goal? What kind of a warped thought process is involved in this?
It’s a de-facto open air prison, which they have cut off fuel supply to, and now designated about half of it an “evacuation zone”. They destroy on average 12 buildings per hour. They’ve killed 4.4k children since October 7th. What… Exactly do you think is going on there? The defense minister of Israel also said they want to install a new “security regime” in Gaza.
It doesn’t take a lot of datapoints over the last 75 years to see where this is going.
You can make guesses based on those numbers that come directly from Hamas… but speaking of datapoints, I don’t think this is what genocide looks like: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/state-of-palestine-population/
Perhaps I’m wrong. Those graphs obviously don’t include recent developments. We’ll see some part of the truth properly in a few months, probably.
When you say you hope for quick success in the ethnic cleansing, people are going to interpret that as you hoping for quick success in the ethnic cleansing
Because those with empathy wouldnt wish the success of a genocide
Ah, you’re still thinking this is a genocide. Then I understand why you would think I lack empathy.
