Hamas’ brutal attacks in Israel on October 7 killed at least 1,400 people and the group took more than 200 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. In the wake of the assault, Israel launched an aerial bombardment of Gaza that Palestinian health officials say has killed more than 5,000 people. Israel also announced a “complete siege” on the enclave, withholding vital supplies of water, food and fuel.
Yep, and honestly I keep wondering what Israel was thinking. Did it think it could keep Palestinians from retaliating forever?
What was the plan for Gaza anyway? Leaving that bomb ticking rather than removing the siege (gradually at least) and allowing these people self-determination.
Leaving that bomb ticking was exactly what was keeping Netanyahu in power.
I believe there said they’ll stop the siege if the hostages are released.
Ah yes as if they have the right to make conditions about people’s lives.
The hostages are being freed one by one. Let’s see if Israel stops genocidin’ when the hostages have been released.
My bet is that it will not.
