Is Israel using 'surrender or starve' strategy in Gaza?
DW ^ | Oct 15 | Tania Krämer | Hazem Balousha

Israel's latest offensive has raised concerns that the country is implementing a "surrender or starve" plan to push Hamas out of northern Gaza. Many residents there are being forcibly displaced.

The Israeli military's latest invasion of Jabaliya in northern Gaza could not be more catastrophic for residents, who have already endured the bombardments and hardship of the Israel-Hamas war, now in its second year.

"It's dangerous here. Nobody can move. It's risky and unsafe. They asked us to leave, but there was no time. All of a sudden, the area was surrounded and under fire," said Mohammed, who didn't want to give his last name, by phone.

Almost two weeks ago, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new ground offensive in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza and ordered people to leave the area — once again. The IDF said intelligence showed efforts by Hamas, the militant group that runs the enclave, to reestablish itself and regroup in the area.

Palestinians and the United Nations fear that the latest invasion is part of a wider implementation of a "surrender or starve" strategy by Israel to forcibly displace northern residents and seal off northern Gaza, plans Israel denies.

"The Israeli military appears to be cutting off North Gaza completely from the rest of the Gaza Strip," the UN Human Rights Office said in a statement.

” It’s against a lot of convention .The laws of war if you will..”

You know what else is against the laws of war? Embedding in a refugee camp and using human shields, holding and raping hostages, deliberate targeting of non-combatant civilians. Raping and sodomizing women in public, and shooting them in the back of the head while doing so. Sticking an AK barrel in their vagina and pulling the trigger. Shooting toddlers in their beds. Burning people alive. Literally raping people to death and spreading their legs so wide they are dislocated out of their hip sockets. Sending an unprovoked rain of 5000+ unguided rockets into a town.

You really wanna talk about conventions and the law of war?

Israel is supplying massive aid to Gaza.

It’s all just sitting around because criminals (aka Hamas) steal not only the aid but the trucks that deliver it.

Here’s an article from NPR. Even as biased as NPR is, they put it squarely on Hamas:

The Puppetmeisters controlling the current WashingtonDC regime are as evil as Satan himself.
And they’re a terrible embarrassment to America and every value we hold dear in our nation.
Plus, they’re working as hard as they can to destroy our country, economy, jobs, defenses, allies, morals, and liberties.

Aside from all that, have a happy day.

“There is no way they will surrender it’s not a country or a traditional sort of enemy”

The I guess that’s their low IQ hateful choice. Ok, so then if you think they won’t surrender, Israel should stop and leave them alone to regroup?

Wars do not end until someone loses all capacity to resist and the enemy has their hearts utterly broken.

Actually, Israel does follow the laws of war. HAMAS and Hezbollah do not.

It’s against the law for a start

There are international judges who look in to this..

I’m not sure if the US is a part of that but starvation as a tactic is considered a crime

In scale, October 7th would be the same as if America lost almost 50,000 dead on 9/11 and had around 10,000 carried away into captivity.

We would nuke any nation that did that.

Ya know, I took that into consideration the last time I thought about it....and then forgot.

Only 56. Time for memory supplements!

Thanks for setting the record straight.

Good Lord. It would be close to the number of men the US lost in Vietnam.

That is sobering.

It’s all accurate and well documented. So look at it right in the face, and then advocate for those animals. They need their culture, government, military and religion completely eradicated.
And don’t forget, those “civilians” in Gaza were cheering as the attackers returned. There wasn’t a person in town who didn’t know about the tunnels. Tens of thousands of them knew the attack plan. Civilians with daily work passes into Israel conducted reconnaissance and noted who lived where and helped with the targeting.

Nothing short of a backbreaking defeat will end this. If they will not end their idiotic hate and obsession, then they must learn the consequences of it.

The Koranimals finally caused Israel to face the threat honestly. And Hezbollah was planning a larger version of it. This isn’t speculation, it’s the accumulation of 50k missiles, prepositioned attack tunnels crammed with motorcycles, ATVs, and weapons.

Third party compassion for the unrepentant murderer, is nothing but cruelty and disdain for the victim.

“It’s against the law for a start.”

Which law? Who enforces this law?

“I’m not sure if the US is a part of that but starvation as a tactic is considered a crime.”

So is rape, murdering children and old people, and setting home on fire with the occupants inside. Funny how you never seem to get all bent out of shape about that. Why is that?

The muzzies have sown the wind. Now they’re reaping the whirlwind.

I hope they all starve.

Working here in the US. Except the (b)administration vs peons by pricing folks out of staples or ignoring the plight of those living through catastrophic events.

“International judges” are in the process of losing their own countries.
