Israeli ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of northern Gaza and residents will not be allowed to return home, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said, in what appears to be the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area.

In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”.

International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.

    You know, now that Biden has lost the election and no longer needs the support of AIPAC, there’s no reason for him to continue to allow Netanyahu to do this.

    Biden could stop this all with a phone call. He could tell the US ambassador to the UN to stop vetoing Security Council resolutions about Israel.

    But he won’t. Because it’s not about electability. The truth is that Biden supports what is happening in Gaza. He thinks the primitive barbaric Gazans are getting what they deserve for standing up to the noble white people who are trying to civilize them.

    You know what that’s called? It’s called being a white supremacist.

    Biden is a genocidal white supremacist, and I wish the Democrats would fucking admit it, but they won’t.

    WHAT’S HIS EXCUSE NOW, DEMOCRATS? WHAT’S HIS EXCUSE NOW?

    Genocide apologists, all of them. Scratch a liberal, find a white supremacist.

      Trump already won, no need to keep making fake arguments against him.

      Now Palestinians will continue to suffer, but Ukrainians and Americans too! Good job
