Israel's military offensive has turned much of northern Gaza into an uninhabitable moonscape. Whole neighborhoods have been erased. Homes, schools and hospitals have been blasted by airstrikes and scorched by tank fire. Some buildings are still standing, but most are battered shells.
Nearly 1 million Palestinians have fled the north, including its urban center, Gaza City, as ground combat intensified. When the war ends, any relief will quickly be overshadowed by dread as displaced families come to terms with the scale of the calamity and what it means for their future.
Where would they live? Who would eventually run Gaza and pick up the pieces?
“I want to go home even if I have to sleep on the rubble of my house,” said Yousef Hammash, an aid worker with the Norwegian Refugee Council who fled the ruins of the urban refugee camp of Jabaliya for southern Gaza. “But I don't see a future for my children here.”
The Israeli army’s use of powerful explosives in tightly packed residential areas — which Israel describes as the unavoidable outcome of Hamas using civilian sites as cover for its operations — has killed over 13,000 Palestinians and led to staggering destruction. Hamas denies the claim and accuses Israel of recklessly bombing civilians.
“When I left, I couldn’t tell which street or intersection I was passing,” said Mahmoud Jamal, a 31-year-old taxi driver who fled his northern hometown of Beit Hanoun this month. He described apartment buildings resembling open-air parking garages.
*SNIP*
In the seven weeks since Hamas’ unprecedented Oct. 7 attack, Israel unleashed more munitions than the United States did in any given year of its bombing campaign against the Islamic State group — a barrage the U.N describes as the deadliest urban campaign since World War II.

And Gazans are supposedly low IQ savages. A known terrorist group that lives on the border to Israel.
The most guarded country border, behind North Korea.
It’s also 2023, not 1941. Tech advances are all on Israel’s side.
Maybe you just don’t like the ugliness of what the truth would mean?(I’m questioning, not mind reading)
It took me a long time to accept that “our betters” hate us, or are just apathetic to us.
What’s the down side?
*sob*
The Ape Pee cries.
Having Gazans as your new neighbors.
Hopefully, it will remain inhabitable. That will provide Israel with buffer zone against future attacks.
“The most guarded country border”
There were fairly few guards.
Once over/through a fence an Israeli village five miles away is 10 minutes away by motorbike.
Every Israeli reservist living within 10 miles of Gaza should have had a radio alarm and a gun safe in their home with a pistol or rifle.
Gazans tried to swarm Israeli villages near Gaza in 2018.
Maybe he did. Maybe not. But the army, naval and air forces on the ground in Hawaii had no advance warning.
Conspiracy theories are the most popular theories about everything now, the wilder the better.
Berlin, 1945. They have sown the wind, they shall reap the whirlwind
Yeah, but at least we built up Germany after the war with The Marshall Plan.
There are things apart from humans for guarding.
Mossad is supposedly the greatest intelligence agency.
“Gazans tried to swarm Israeli villages near Gaza in 2018.”
And Israel “adapted” by changing nothing. What does that tell you?
More importantly, if Israel isn’t capable of defending itself, can it continue to exist as an autonomous entity?
They are surrounded by a demographically increasing enemy, and the West, their defender, is destroying itself.
Interviews with Douglas Horne about FDR and Pearl Harbor, The McCollum Memorandum, has been the subject of two PODCASTS since it was published in July 2021, as follows:
A recent PODCAST interview on the show "Parallax Views," hosted by J.G. Michael, has been posted in two parts:
Nothing wild abut this theory. I’ve heard from 6 different former IDF soldiers who were involved in security at the Gaza border and every one of them said no way could this have happened unless there was some kind of stand down order. It’s not just them breaching the fence its that it took SEVEN hours for the IDF to respond. Israel is a tiny country. A helicopter can fly from its north to its south in 45 minutes. Netanyahu intentionally allowed this to happen. Just think about this the next time you go around praising him as some kind of hero.
Rocket & Mortar Attacks Against Israel by Date (2001 - Present)
<< The purpose of war is to kill people and break things. I guess Hamas forgot about that part when they attacked Israel. >>
And the 75% of the Gaza populace (around 1.6 million residents) that applauds the Oct. 7 massacre and continues to support Hamas forgot about that part as well. https://jcpa.org/a-new-poll-of-palestinians-supporting-terror-and-rejecting-peace/
Never underestimate bureaucratic inertia & incompetence!
“Netanyahu intentionally allowed this to happen. “
Not true.
Interesting. Thanks.
As the world's largest economy America is automatically a target for evil in the world. Islam is one of the main sources of that evil. Because Israel is taking the brunt of Islam's perpetual hate support for Israel is America first. They fight and die against a common enemy. It saves us from having to do the job ourselves.
“You seem to think people believe FDR didn’t allow it to happen…”
FDR wanted a Lusitania event to give him an entry into the war. He gave us Pearl Harbor instead. The US economy was still mired in the depression and FDR knew that a war would give people something else to think about while allowing the government to control the economy.
Bastard got everything he wanted.
