Young girls screamed and elbowed each other in a crush of bodies in southern Gaza, trying desperately to reach the front of the food line. Men doled out rice and chicken as fast as they could, platefuls of the nourishment falling to the ground in the tumult.

Nearby, boys waited to fill plastic containers with water, standing for hours among tents packed so tightly they nearly touched.

Hunger and desperation were palpable Friday in the tent camp along the Deir al-Balah beachfront, after a month of successive evacuation orders that have pressed thousands of Palestinians into the area that the Israeli military calls a “humanitarian zone.”

    They are CONCENTRATING Palestinians into a CAMP for “humanitarian” reasons folks. It’s almost like Israel’s language is GHETTOing ridiculous.

      It’s like Israel is using this war to implement some sort of FINAL SOLUTION.

        Eyeball every single purchase the Israeli government makes. If they start buying Zyklon B or any of its precursors, and building showers in these camps, then we know. I guess when they said “Never again” after WW2 they meant “Never again, to us.”

          Are you suggesting all Jews are Israeli?

            They specifically said “the Israeli government.”

            Not planning to scrutinize your Zabar’s receipt. Nor your sincerity.

            (If you aren’t Jewish, substitute the pronouns, using “their” muddled my meaning. And “our” made it too personal.)

            There are people who lump in all Jews as Netanyahu sympathizers, but most of us have the capacity to separate wheat from chaff.

              Squid doesn’t usually have that capacity sadly
