It's good then that Egypt decided to help their muslim brothers out and send fuel, food and supplies over their border.

I was curious why Egypt and Hamas are enemies, apparently the military government of Egypt is constantly fighting religious factions, so helping a religious faction in the neighboring territory, or even letting them immigrate through refugees, would be destabilizing to the Egyptian government. Therefore it's not tenable

Also Palestinians have a history of carrying out terrorism in Egypt and all other neighbouring countries, so Egyptians do not want them.

While I can't and won't defend Egypt's role in the blockade, I'll say that Israel actively bombed the Rafah crossing, so even if Egypt was going to do that it's impossible now.

Egypt needs us guns more...

Arabs don't give a fuck about other Arabs

Look at how these clown states handled Syria crisis.

It was only ever able to provide ≤17% of the needed power, without this and with Israel shutting off power, the humanitarian crisis there is going to skyrocket.

Putin tried this in Ukraine but failed mostly due to scope and western support.

Gaza residents are so fucked, it aint even funny as west cutting foods and supplies because some young bucks got tired of being fucked so they went all degenerate jihad. 2 million people will have to pay the price, they agreed to this or not. This is done by a recognized nation state against stateless people. Take notes, other stateless people, how nobody will do shit for you once you been subjugated like this. Got to fight early and fight hard, otherwise, you will be exterminated over a few generations. Trying to find this late into genocide is mostly futile attempt and PR.

"Beheaded babies" gave Israel blank check for reprisals and western media enabled it via fake news spreading without proper journalism being done.

how such thing was able to spread just in right time for Israel so well?

Asking for a friend.

Almost 70% of Gaza residents support armed attacks on Israeli civilians. There are clearly people who do not support cutting the heads off babies, and I sympathise with them. However they have had decades to leave. They have chosen to remain living shoulder to shoulder with monsters. As for the majority of Palestinians who support murdering and mutilating babies, they deserve to die.

People who live in Gaza do not have freedom of movement. They can't just leave, they need permission from Israel to do so.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The majority are children how can they leave?

Gaza strip residents are poor so how can they leave?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The majority are children how can they leave?

Most of their parents are either terrorists or support terrorists. They're currently using their own children as human shields. What do you propose we do about that? Forcibly remove the children from Gaza? I'm sure terrorists sympathisers like you would be perfectly happy with that plan.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Wow that's really racist of you to presume that everyone in Gaza is in or supports Hamas.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Most of their parents died in Israeli attacks dumbfuck. Median age is 18 there, there’s almost no parents around.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes... The people native to the region must be either destroyed or driven out

Checks out ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Leave to where? Should they be forced to abandon their homes and their families because most of their countrymen are fed up with living in a ghetto and chose to fight back?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Leave?

That they're being asked to is why they believe violence is justified.

And they are right.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I haven't asked them to leave. I'm explaining that being friends and sharing homes with baby-murdering psychopaths makes them bad people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And right now, they don't have much choice about that.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Sure they do. They can move away from the terrorists and allow Israel to kill them. Most of Gaza is farmland. There are lots of places to go where there aren't terrorists.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The power plant’s shutdown comes two days after the Israeli government said it would order a “complete siege” of the Palestinian enclave, closing off access to electricity, food, fuel and water in response to the surprise attack launched by Hamas on Israel that killed at least 1,200 people.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it is targeting Hamas terrorists, but the dense population of Gaza – 2 million people living in 140 square miles – means that civilians are often caught in the crossfire.

Further Palestinian casualties are feared as Israel maintains its bombardment for a fifth day and the “complete siege” ordered by Gallant on Monday takes effect.

“These risks (are) seriously compounding the already dire human rights and humanitarian situation in Gaza, including the capacity of medical facilities to operate, especially in light of the increasing number of injured people,” spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said Tuesday.

Officials with the UN’s Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said 11 of its employees had died as a result of airstrikes on Gaza and at least 14 of their facilities there have been damaged directly or indirectly.

The only border crossing between Gaza and Egypt was struck by Israeli warplanes Tuesday, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Interior Ministry Eyad al-Bozom said.
