      The evacuation order means Israel is ethnically cleansing over 1 million people. Are they all human shields?

      This narrative is basically just a hostage scenario. Hamas took a few dozen hostages, so Israel is taking all of Gaza hostage.

      And, notably, Israel is the only side actually killing the hostages.

          They’ve also bombed the declared evacuation routes. It’s genocidal, and I would prefer Israel not commit genocide.

          BTW, Israel is killing both the Palestinian hostages it has captive in Gaza and killing the Israeli hostages that were taken by Hamas.

          I swear, Israel could march Palestinians into gas chambers and you’d blame Hamas for making them do it.

              Come now. There has been no determination who bombed evacuation routes.

              Hamas doesn’t murder Palestinians. Only Israel does that.

              Hamas takes off their uniforms and houses in the same spaces as regular Palestinians.

              Uh huh, and every single bombing target was one where a confirmed fighter was sighted? Fuck off, they’re flattening everything everywhere and now have ordered a million people to evacuate to their deaths while they bulldoze their homes. Ethnic cleansing.

                  Hamas does murder Palestinians. Happens all the time. What do you think human shields are for?

                  Those are people murdered by Israel. This is abuser mentality. “Look what you made me do!”

                  But, it doesn’t make much sense to drop a bomb without a good idea there’s a reason.

                  The reason before was to terrorize/subdue the population into submission, and now the reason is to force them to flee or die or both.

                  Two things while your carrying all this water. Figure out who in the end you’re carrying it for and realize that the bad part hasn’t begun yet. Take a walk in everybody’s shoes.

                  Take a walk in a Palestinian’s shoes who lives under terror from the sky and falls asleep to the buzzing of survelience drones every night. Who barely has enough to eat or enough to wear. Who has to spend hours every day going through security checkpoints. Who has no hope of anything ever getting better. Who has a life expectancy of 40. Who gets their knees blown out by a sniper for marching.

                  This is what Israel does. And yes, the bad part is only just beginning. When the ground invasion starts the sea will run red with blood, because this is genocide. The European settlers are finally killing off the native population to steal their land. Truly the 51st state.

                  And then Hezbollah will get involved. And then the US. And then Iran. And then Russia. And then NATO. And then it’s WW3. Yay

      Israel is the occupying force committing genocide, the fact that you feel the need to try to do bothsideism here really says a lot about you as a person.

      How exactly is Hamas using human shields in airstrikes?

      Are they telling people to stand still while the bombs drop?
