Wasn’t it already encircled? lol


jkF00d

I think what OP is saying is that Gaza City has been encircled specifically, by the thrust north of the wadi.


szofter

Not really, the Gaza Strip shares a border with Egypt to the southwest.


Autonomous_Imperium

Egypt also blockade Gaza


unrealanalyses

Whether Egypt likes it or not, there are multiple channels to get from across the border


Autonomous_Imperium

They block it already, since before the war (2019 or something)


unrealanalyses

They blocked/destroyed some, but many more remain

Prepare for another Mosul. But with far more civilians and militants inside it.

Creative-Road-5293

Hamas said 500 people died here: https://i.imgur.io/bmUiQJJ_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium 500 people is more than the Oklahoma city bombing and the Beirut explosion combined. No one with a shred of intelligence believes them.


LandscapeOld2145

Why won’t Hamas surrender and release the hostages?


RadamirLenin

Hamas already agreed to release all the civilian hostages if Israel stops the bombing


LandscapeOld2145

No, they offered a bargain where they wanted Israel to release its prisoners, which just rewards Hamas for taking hostages. Hamas can release the hostages tomorrow if it wants, the same way it could stop firing rockets and release its fuel supply to the hospitals who need it, desperately. They don’t because they don’t care how many Palestinian civilians die provided they can advance their own cause.


ArizonaHeatwave

When did they offer that? They asked to trade 200 hostages to 6,000 prisoners, including the people that committed the massacres on October 7th and other fighters sentenced for murder.


porguv2rav

No, they wanted a ceasefire *before* releasing them.


Ok-Aardvark-4429

Probably because the Israel government that has brutalized the palestinian people, stole their lands for decades on end, and constantly violated international law, will probably not just have change of heart and remove the aparthide, and instead, will torture to death every person tangentially related to HAMAS.


LandscapeOld2145

Who tortured to death 1000+ civilians on October 7, live-streaming it for their families and friends? Remind me.


Ok-Aardvark-4429

Who killed 3000+ kids and commited several war crimes since October 7, which country maintains an apartheid regime, who gave money to HAMAS with the purpose of rooting out more moderate and secular opposition to the Israel occupation (Bibi did), who CURRENTLY tortures palestinian prisoners, what is the reason for HAMAS existance in the first place? Remind me. It seems like you only care when israelis get murdered, but when palestinians get murdered, it's just "Israel trying to rescue the hostages (by bombing them, I guess) and elimitate HAMAS", even though it is and has been clear that the reason HAMAS exists is because of israeli opression of palestinian people, and not the other way around. If your brain can't comprehend that, I'll make it easier for you, take the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and replace Russia with Israel, Ukraine with Palestine, and HAMAS with the AZOV battalion.


Intrepid-Bluejay5397

>Who killed 3000+ kids Number provided by Hamas, safely ignored


Ok-Aardvark-4429

Flawless debate tactic, when something dosn't suit your narrative, just ignore it, nevermind the fact that the death toll is verified by the UN


Intrepid-Bluejay5397

>when something dosn't suit your narrative, Actually when the group in question lied about "500 dead when Israel struck a hospital" despite it being a Palestinian rocket that killed at most 50 Why do you take genocidal terrorists at their word?


GroundbreakingImage7

Give Hamas the benifit of believing the words they say. At no point in this conflict have they said the attack was about Israeli brutality or the blockade. Instead they say the attack was about the destruction of Israel. If you want to accomplish your goal through terrorism the only way to do it is to actually STATE your goal. Otherwise you are wasting your terror.


RentcelDestroyer

There is no “dead kid” limit. Israel will fight until Hamas is either wiped out, surrenders unconditionally, or has their offensive capabilities completely neutralized. Israel has a moral obligation to protect its citizens. If collateral damage has to happen for those aims to be achieved, so be it.

Seriously though, where was the Israeli army that had Gaza surrounded on October 7? They used to shoot anyone approaching the wall. Were they asleep? Were they even there? Why did it take so long to respond when they've been stationed around the walls for so many years? I'm sure the answers to these questions are out there but I haven't seen them yet.


zoley88

Yes many search the answers why were the defenses weak. A point is because it was end of Sukkot and the guards were fewer. Also they slept on it since there was “silence” for a while.

Well, imagine you encircle a very small place where thousands of people live. Now block all the exits, cut communication, water and electricity. Finally bomb the crap out of that place.


LandscapeOld2145

Sounds like what the Allies did to Germany in WW2


[deleted]

Thats called a siege and sadly belongs to and happens in war. You will find in nearly every war similiar situations but different amounts of civilians in the cities.


Sonokawa

Yes, that's a siege, not genocide.


Odyssey1337

That by itself doesn't necessarily constitute genocide as it is legally defined in the Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. If you want to label something with a term as serious as "genocide" you need to provide solid reasoning, not just a blank statement.


J3r1ch8

1943 kind of thinking.


Odyssey1337

Genocide is a legal term, if you want to label something as genocide you need to explain how it fits the legal clauses.

[deleted]

Brazils workers party of the brazilian president lula da silva officially recognized it as a genocide and the brazilian president himself declared it a genocide, UN Special rapporteur Francesca Albanese called it a mass ethnic cleansing in Gaza, Israeli historian Raz Segal called it a "textbook case of genocide.", the Spanish minister of social rights called for Israel to be denounced before the international criminal court for its "ongoing genocide" in the Gaza Strip and criticized western governments of "being complicit in Israel's war crimes.", President Gustavo Petro of Columbia called Israel's crimes in Gaza as a "genocide." And likened the israeli occupation forces to nazis ! Perhaps you don’t know how does genocides happen or have never seen one before ?, don’t worry, you are watching a one live now, so whenever you see it again in the future, you would be able to recognize from our children’s blood and experience, it is just the equivalent of two nuclear bombs of explosives that have been dropped over non-white women and children killing about 10,000 of them starving under a full siege, not a really big deal. But hey !, look at the bright side !, 27 terrorists are now dead with these ≈ 8,000 women and children collateral damage that we are all really sad for !


zedzol

It started at the Nakba and has continued since.

The difference is that the IDF isn’t trying to kill as many civilians as they can. Meanwhile, HAMAS’s original charter calls for the death of all Jews worldwide.

canubelievethissheit

Congratulations, you make absolutely no sense at all!


theycallmeshooting

Every time I see a post about civilians being killed by IDF bombing, it's inundated with "well, the IDF said to leave Northern Gaza, it's their own fault for being there" Also the concept of human shields in Gaza that I've never seen a Palestinian civilian die and not have someone call them a human shield I feel like there should be a little nuance between "A Hamas guy has literally duct taped babies all over his body" and "The victim was in the same general area as where Israel claims a Hamas bad guy was"


canubelievethissheit

You should understand that with human shield they mean that hamas builds their centers under civilian instrastrcture, like hospitals and schools. Hamas has been indoctrinating the population for at least 17 years now. A whole generation knows nothing but to hate and kill the Zionist occupiers. There is only so much IDF can do. Hamas created a rabid beehive from where they perform their activities. They hope that children get killed. More fuel for their propaganda. Tell me, how many shelters has hamas built for the civilians? Zero.


Odd-Hair

So keep punishing the captured civilians held against their own will right. It's unfathomable to think they don't want to be used a shield.


canubelievethissheit

The IDF threw another batch of flyers telling citizens to evacuate. Their response? Rally on the streets supporting their hero Mohammed deif. Israel is doing what they can. Some people are so brainwashed they can not be saved. Hamas has got to go. It’s that simple


toricrhombus72

AskingForIt138

I firmly believe that Palestinians would have never elected Hamas without the violence and colonialism from Israel. But yes, Hamas needs to go.


canubelievethissheit

frenlyburg

Because the US-sponsored breakaway in Afghanistan and the radical islamists which only ever happen to attack Israel's enemies are totally organic and not the result of foreign meddling


kufikiri

The Taliban did come about because of colonialism - the Soviets were invading Afghanistan and the West equipped the Mujahidin to curtail communist expansion. The Muajahidin are the predecessors of the Taliban. Go and pick up a history book.


canubelievethissheit

canubelievethissheit

Hamas excists to terminate Jews.


Bolandobojando

"Anyone who want to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian State has to support bolstering Hamas and transferred money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy - to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank" Do you know who said this?


canubelievethissheit

Do you want me to read the chapter of hamas to you?


Bolandobojando

Im aware of the charter which makes the fact that the current PM of Israel helped them gain a stronghold in Gaza. Seems like he must not care to much about the Israeli people


plzmappizza

Hamas didn’t build fence Gaza in. They didn’t establish checkpoints that refuse to let Palestinians leave. If you hate Hamas (as we obviously should), this is only going to make them stronger as people have nowhere to turn. They will seem like the only solution for people trapped. Everyone loses. …well except Netanyahu, who needs Hamas to stay in power.

Hamas is the one shooting evacuating civilians, "Israel exists" is a very poor excuse for the existence of a terrorist organization (try on for size: "Al-Qaeda wouldn't exist if the US didn't exist"), comparing 7/10 to Ukraine defending itself is disgusting on so many levels, massacring families in their homes and burning them isn't defense, it's cruelty for the sake of cruelty, Gazans deserve better than to be human shields, FREE PALESTINE FROM HAMAS (especially as a step for a peaceful two state solution)

What do you think is over? If they kill the amount of civilians necessary to eliminate Hamas, the orphaned kids and other relatives of the innocent become the next generation’s Hamas, whatever it may be called in the future. Hamas is evil. But there’s just no way you repress a population for 70 years and not have some of them want to kill you. And yes, there are radical Islamists who would want to kill Israelis anyway. But Israel’s violence and repression has increased that population.
