6500 Dead: "Creating a severe humanitarian crisis is a necessary means to achieve the goal. Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist" Israeli Military Official

[Ohlalalalala]

Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people[a] in whole or in part. In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[1][2] Wikipedia

Reservist Major General Giora Eiland told Israeli media on Monday that Israel’s actions in “creating a severe humanitarian crisis is a necessary means to achieve the goal. Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist.”

Oxfam says starvation is being used as a weapon of war against civilians in Gaza, adding just two percent of usual food has been delivered to the enclave since Israel’s “total siege”.

Please tell me this is a dystopian nightmare? How can this be possible? I honestly feel as though I am living in a nightmare.

The total impunity!

Imagine doing that!

the apartheid and genocide apologists will be along soon with “but Hamas” !!

It's frightening OP, it truly is

What's killing me is the total impunity with which they are committing the genocide. And the deafening silence of the major world "leaders".

It is genocide.

How can the world watch children being killed?

How will this all end?

I am not on any 'side' but innocent civilians should not be held hostage and innocent civilians should not be bombed/starved as punishment for an act they did not commit.

there is always hope. generations change. The younger generation get their news on Instagram and Snapchat and TikTok. Not the biased reporting of CNN and other mainstream media. Israel’s crimes against humanity are slowly being exposed in these platforms and it’s losing the propaganda war with young people. Maybe not in my lifetime but maybe in my children’s there will be justice for the Palestinian people.

Palestine is not Hamas. Israel must stop. There can be no justification.

Fucking hell

All those genociders should be dragged to the International Criminal Court and held accountable for their crimes.

The best we can hope for now is a swift victory for israel thereby ending the war quicker and limiting the amount of fatalities.

Hamas need to make themselves known, as hiding is letting innocent people be killed in their pursuit of them.

Victory???? How dare you! What victory after the genocide?? Victory against whom? Against innocent civilians? Is this a war??

Oh God! Another one trying to justify the unjustifiable! They are killing civilians without any discrimination. This is genocide, war crime, aggression, ethnic cleansing. Nothing justifies what is being done. They are not killing Hamas; they are killing civilians.

Victory how?

Will they ceasefire if the hostages are returned?

Maybe release the hostages? Why would Israel give up without getting what they came for. Why would they leave now?

Hamas knew what would happen when they took hostages.

Well, what do YOU think will happen?

Yes it is a war. One which Israel will win as they have military superiority. The best it's going to get is if they obtain their military objectives as quickly as possible. It really isn't going to get any better than that.

Please wise up. If this was only about getting Hamas what is Israel currently doing in the West Bank where there is no Hamas ? Arming settlers and killing civilians. And since when does going after terrorists justify starving a civilian population to death ?

What does the life for people from Gaza look like after Israel’s victory ?

@EasterIssland . Not good. And the longer it takes, the worse it will be. That's just the reality of it all. It's shit.

Blimey, that's pretty blatant. I read the article on ynet.
It's time to rip off the Hamas band-aid (ynetnews.com)

According to the guy that wrote this article they will all be expelled to Egypt or the Gulf!

2360 children have died in Gaza in less than three weeks. What Hamas did was beyond wicked but this is no less so.

Posters talking about “victory” or “winning” what does that look like? I don’t understand what Israel will count as a “win”.
I watched an Israeli government official on channel 4 news this evening insisting they can destroy all of Hamas by their current war on Gaza. He must be on drugs if he seriously believes that! I don’t think for one second he did believe it though, it’s just an excuse.

I think what the PP means is that she hopes Isreal destroy Hamas as fast as possible. They are going to do that and until they do that they won’t stop. So it’s a reasonable thing to hope for.

It’s effectively a war yes.
