Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its “responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip”.

Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory.

      They weren’t, the first civilian bombing in the conflict is objectively the bombing of a hotel that housed the Palestinian embassy of sorts, killed like 91.

      Pointing fingers in this conflict is a bit idiotic, the protagonists are all ultra religious shitheads fucking over huge populations because of story time interpretations.

            That was in 1946. How many peace treaties and ceasefires have there been between them and the current conflict?

              The start of a trend does tend to be earlier than everything that follows… I’m not sure how or why you think that’s a valid point.

                Because if any conflict between people, even ones that have been resolved, can be used to justify current violence; there’s no concievable violence that can ever be unjustified.

                  My bad. Imagine civilians killed in the original slave raid weren’t Jewish.

                  Take your own advice boss.

                    I am. If the IDF had conducted a slave raid into Gaza I’d be calling on the US to partner with the world to enact regime change and bring the perpetrators to justice.
