Highlight:

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

    It isn’t, and whoever told you it is such is just lying to you.

    Idk where you people get your “news” but whatever podcasters you listen to are fucking braindead.

    You’re exactly equivalent to the dumbest of the MAGA by believing that tripe.

      Gaza is completely blockaded, by Israels own admission. If you don’t want to call it an attack on the entire population there, please go ahead and stay delusional. This is not OK, no matter who does it. It was not OK when Ukraine did it to Crimea, it’s not OK now. It’s heinous and despicable.

      Well the EU just called it a war crime. So between the text of the rule, the spirit of the rule, and the fucking international body of governments’ interpretation of the rule, I think I’m gonna stick with interpretation that intentionally cutting off food, water, and power to the entire region constitutes intentionally cutting off food and water to civilians.
