After President Donald Trump left the Middle East on Friday, Israel launched its mission to take over all of Gaza, following through on a promise officials made weeks ago.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video statement on Monday that the aim is total occupation: “The goal of the current expansion of the IDF’s operation in the Gaza Strip is for the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] to take control of the entire territory in order prevent Hamas from looting humanitarian aid,” he said, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Israel imposed a total blockade around the Gaza Strip on March 2 with the stated agenda of strong-arming Hamas into concessions, including releasing the remaining Israeli hostages. Israel has accused Hamas of siphoning off food and water intended for civilians, allegations backed by U.S. officials and journalists on the ground. Yet the blockade and Israel’s overall campaign to root out what remains of Hamas have undeniably resulted in dire conditions for civilians. Trump said last week that “a lot of people are starving.” Pope Leo XIV said in his inaugural mass, “In Gaza, the surviving children, families and elderly are reduced to starvation.”
Israel has faced intense criticism over the inhumane conditions of the Palestinians, most notably from American college students and the United Nations, two historically untrustworthy sources. But the criticism is crossing ideological and political borders. The issue has taken center stage on several of the most popular media platforms among conservatives, Republicans, and libertarians, including “The Joe Rogan Experience” and Tucker Carlson podcasts. Polls suggest Israel has now lost support even among its most consistently loyal bloc,...

It means that they are going to cause trouble in Europe.
Egypt does not want them and won't take them.
Looks like they will be dumped into Libya.
Now deport the Palestinians and build a big business
Beautiful fence around it.
I hope every last one of them starves.
L
fine, the further the better!
(the BEST idea so far is to move them all to an Indonesian island. Indonesia has thousands of islands. And they can be best-guarded on an island to protect civilized human societies everywhere from their bloodthirsty savage attacks. Libya will be a big step forward but President Trump’s proposal of an Indonesian island will be the very best outcome possible given the lack of vehicular capacity to blast them into the Oort Belt.)
Israel: The tiny country with the towering will to win against all comers bent on destroying it.
Agreed
And the Hamas billionaires still have their billions, and never get near Gaza
Stealing aid is a war crime.
I suspect the thieves are well-connected. They’d make great bargaining chips.
It's about time.
>Egypt does not want them and won’t take them.
You can tell this by looking at the wall Egypt build to separate themselves from Gaza. It is serious business! It makes Trump’s big beautiful wall at the Mexican border look like a joke!
The Arabs are occupying all the land. They are imperialist settlers and must re
be driven out of Jewish, Christian, Hindu and all African lands. Not only can there be no “Palestinian” state, no Islamic country on the planet has a right to exist.
Every single one was formed by Muslim conquest on other people’s land, who were butchered, raped and enslaved. Every. Single. One.
By the “imperialist colonizer” argument, every single Muslim country should be liberated. Therefore, “Palestine” cannot be allowed. Nor can Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Iran and about 50 others.
Egypt doesn’t want them (back) and for good reason. Nobody in their right mind wants them ( except the quislings ruling France, Ireland, UK…).
But the Egyptian blockade needs to be opened to at least enable through transit
I hear Trump has conned Libya into taking a million of them. 😏
What makes you think “almost all of them hail from Egypt”? Do you have any proof at all for your claim?
Destroy Hamas!
