    To be fair, when you’re punching at ghosts in the dark you must punch everywhere. Sadly when you punch everywhere you inevitably hit humans, who then become ghosts. So then more punching and then more ghosts and then you burn down the side of the house you say is most haunted (for protection). Crap, now the ghosts are more concentrated and you burn down the other half. And that’s how you get a Zak Bagans approved genocide and some extra room to stretch out and relax. protect yourself.

      Don’t forget the part where you moved into a cemetery and was mad that there were ghosts. And then you used white phosphorus to hit the ghosts.

    Just in case anyone thought the evacuation order was because they cared about Palestinian lives.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Even before Israel gave the order for a million Palestinians to leave their homes and flee south, Lubna took her four children and all the possessions they could carry and moved to a friend’s house in Khan Younis, nearer the Egyptian border.

    Gaza has been cut off from fuel supplies for two weeks now, so there is no power to run its desalination plants or water pumps.

    The UN Relief and Works Agency has reported some displaced people leaving their shelters in recent days and moving back to the north.

    Twenty lorries crossed the border on Saturday, under a deal brokered by US president Joe Biden three days earlier, but it represented a derisory amount of assistance.

    At the “peace summit” in Cairo, there were calls from the UN secretary general, António Guterres and others for a humanitarian ceasefire, but there were no Israelis there to hear the pleas, nor any senior US officials.

    The bombing continued, and 360,000 Israeli reservists are waiting by their tanks and armoured cars for the order to move into Gaza.
