Israel declares siege of Gaza as Hamas threatens to start killing hostages

No electricity, no food, no water…

If everyday people have the choice of sitting and starving or doing something about it, I doubt many would go quietly into the night.

Israel will create the next generation of extremists if they do not kill every single person in Gaza. We’ve seen this in every modern Middle East conflict in the past 40 or so years.

Oh god. My heart goes out to the civilians of Gaza.

Cool so they're announcing they're doing war crimes?

Religion is the drug of hate. People need to start openly blaming religion for this shit

We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly

So business as usual, eh?

Many Palestinians will end up dying from this. Hamas destroyed any chance there was of peace happening.

Thats a bit too much... food and water at minimum

Many have pointed this out, but I'll say it again: this only affects innocent people.

Hamas has long stockpiled food, water, fuel, guns, and ammunition. They will be the last to run out.

This does nothing but radicalize the rest of the population, something I would assume the zionist government wants.

Alas for the living.

"We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly" Yikes 😬

Don’t tell me that Hamas didn’t know how Israel would react. To keep the hate flowing is the goal of all extremists.

Edit: That Netanyahu openly admitted to support Hamas on some occasions, shows that Hamas AND Netanjahu want each other as permanent enemies: https://kbin.social/m/worldnews@lemmy.ml/t/526488/Anyone-who-wants-to-thwart-the-establishment-of-a-Palestinian

Since many of you seem to think of themselves as having viable solutions for the Israel/Palestine conflict- go ahead: Tell us how Israel should act after this Terrorist Attack.

Please refrain from bad faith arguments and stuff like „Israel should dissolve itself“ (because you and I know, that’s not going to happen)

You did it Hamas!

"We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly."

This. Hamas leaders either have so very low IQ to not be able predict how israel would retaliate, or they just don't care about their own people's lives. Hamas and their terrorist goons do not deserved to be called a human.
