Israel has tightened its siege of northern Gaza in the face of warnings from the UN and other aid agencies that hundreds of thousands of Palestinian lives at are risk, raising questions over whether the Netanyahu government’s ultimate war aims include territorial expansion.
The IDF says it is hunting Hamas militants but suspicions are growing that Israel is putting into practice a blueprint it had officially distanced itself from, known as the “generals’ plan”.
The plan, named after the retired senior officers promoting it, was intended to depopulate northern Gaza by giving the Palestinians trapped there an opportunity to evacuate and then treating those that stayed as combatants, laying total siege.
Hey, look, it’s been exactly what we’ve been saying it is from the beginning. It’s a landgrab. The liberals will be flocking to claim that this is definitely not just like Putin’s landgrabs in eastern Ukraine, and that it is fundamentally different, either because Israel thinks that a thousand years old book promised them half of the Arabian peninsula, or some other nonsense about Hamas tunnels.
Not arguing with you, but I think Gaza is even worse.
What’s happening in Ukraine is terrible - but it’s a war between two countries, that each have an army.
What’s happening in Gaza is something else. It’s a country sending an army on a civilian population. Palestine has no army to defend itself.
And if, for the sake of argument, you accept Israel’s claim that it owns the Palestinian Territories, then it means Israel is turning its army against its own land and its own citizens.
Whem Kamala wins, there needs to be mass protest everywhere she goes. She needs to step in and safe what is left of a great group of people.
If Kamala wins the biggest fear is liberals not demonstrating out of complacency. Similar to how the George Floyd movement died after Biden was elected. But subsequent years police violence has gotten worse.
Whomever wins this time, mass protests. Instantly. Everywhere.
For real change, we need to change local for cops. States hold police in check and unfortunately federal has little they can do.
Also Biden never had control of the house. He would need that for any federal change. I personally was effected by the police and wish my federal reps could do something. However, I live in a gerrymander hell hole called North Carolina.
But you are right, we need to stand united against the murdering of the palestinians.
Bc enough people standing together can change minds. Let a million people show up at your house, you will think twice about stuff.
protesting against zionist violence and land theft has all but been outlawed.
But if this was two months ago, I’d agree with that. Thats why I was hoping more people would sign onto the uncommitted movement when we had a chance to let biden/harris know that supporting genocide wasnt going to be permitted by the voters.
We need to stop expecting change to come from our rulers. We need to take change into our own hands.
They have become that from which they fled.
Meanwhile the americans are chitchatting about how genocide is not that big of a deal and is unavoidable anyway
Siezing land is literally Israel’s raison d’etre and raison d’etat. “Concerns that the Jewish Lebensraum project is may be doing what it was created for.”
Israeli lebensraum, not Jewish. Conflating Judaism with Israel is anti-semitic.
