Israeli officials have signaled they do not intend to relinquish this territory. These areas, where the military has deployed, are considered “no-go zones” and Palestinians risk being shot if they approach.

Israel became terrorist country financed by US tax payers, Ergo US tax payers are terrorist supporters.

So this is why Bezos, Musk and company are not paying taxes, the refuse to support terrorists.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

They don't pay taxes because they are in control of the US. Wtf are you talking about? They 100% support Israel as long as there is money to be made

And this will reduce terrorist recruitment how?

I'm curious to know why they chose to stop where they did. Is it a matter of "This is what we reckon we can hold"? Or is it "These areas are the most valuable so we want those"? Or "This is how much we reckon we can take before someone declares war"?

Gaza isn't even contiguous anymore. Where there was one territory, there are effectively now four. One big one, one small, one very small, one tiny. I can't imagine the Israelis are going to allow people to move from one territory to the other so why did they split it up like that?

They can starve the population and take the area anyway so why continue fighting and gaining more and more bad press and investigation. Instead they'll spend that time covering up their crimes and hiding the people they would have a hard time protecting for the moment.

So why not just take all of it? The world isn't gonna do shit about it, so why bother with the splitting of Gaza up into unmanageable little chunks?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago* (last edited 48 minutes ago)

They're much more manageable and Israel uses Palestinians as cheap labor, they're keeping enough around to do the shitty jobs while they find anyone else willing to do it before they absorb the rest.

Maybe they are playing for gazans to finally ask for Gaza to be absorbed by Israel so they can claim it wasn't genocide?
