UK is working to rescue its citizens as 'scared and desperate' people begin looting food

“Officials said that Israel and Egypt were prepared to let foreigners leave the Strip which is under heavy Israeli bombardment, but Hamas had refused.”

    Hi

    Please

    Hamas responds with “Go stand on the roof.”

      Israel warning people by phone, leaflet, and then “door knocking” while Hamas tells them to go to their roof/“form a human shield” https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/09/world/middleeast/by-phone-and-leaflet-israeli-attackers-warn-gazans.html?_r=0

      Here’s their own words, calling all Palestinians to be martyrs

      Article 8 The Hamas document reiterates the Muslim Brotherhood’s slogan of "Allah is its goal, the Prophet is the model, the Qur’an its constitution, jihad its path, and death for the sake of Allah “is the loftiest of its wishes.” https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp

      From wikipedia because I don’t want to read the whole charter. original charter linked below the quote (and on the Wikipedia page)

      Here’s a phone call showing the greater scale of how seriously they take viewing every Palestinian as a martyr, by forcing people to remain in the North at gunpoint

        Warnings like?

        On Saturday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari issued what he labeled an “urgent military advisory” video message on X, warning Gazans that the military is set to “neutralize” Hamas with “precision and intensity.”

        “For your immediate safety we urge all residents of Northern Gaza and Gaza City to temporarily relocate south. This is a temporary measure. Moving back to Northern Gaza will be possible once the intense hostilities end,” he said.

        Since the message, many took to X to raise questions and concerns related to the communications blackout Gaza residents are facing and how they’re expected to hear the urgency to relocate.

        Mehdi Hasan, host of The Mehdi Hasan Show on MSNBC, asked, “How are Palestinians in Gaza, who have had their electricity and internet communications cut off by the Israeli military, supposed to hear/receive this ‘urgent’ message from the Israeli military?”

        Lindsey Hilsum, international editor at British broadcaster Channel 4 News, questioned the message by posting to X, “Hard to see how this ‘urgent message’ will get to the citizens of Gaza as the Israelis cut internet and mobile phone.”

        Ayman Mohyeldin, host of AYMAN on MSNBC, noted the IDF’s use of English to issue their message rather than using Arabic.

        “The spokesman for the Israeli military is speaking in English, rather than in Arabic, to the residents of Gaza in order to deliver to them an urgent message on social media, a day after the Israeli military cut off all telephone and internet communications to the people of Gaza,” he wrote on X>.

          Warnings like the things I posted earlier.

          I am aware that Israel is bad at propaganda. If anything, that’s further evidence in my favor.

            If you were actually concerned about killing someone with your airstrike, wouldn’t you warn them in the fucking language they speak, in a way that actually reaches them??? I’m so fucking baffled at the psychology behind excusing what is going on.

            In your favor… wow you are truly amazing at spin. Keep making the argument that I was right about you being a duck.

              Posting direct quotes is not “spin.”

                Fuck off.

                Netanyahu said “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. 1 Samuel 15:3 ‘Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass’," .

                I’m done debating with genocide cheerleaders.

          That has nothing to do with my post whatsoever

              If you intend it that way, you’ll need to add your context.

              As-written it reads like a reply to the wrong comment
