      They can’t just keep turning their people into combatants and not expect to be suppressed for it.

      Steps can’t be skipped when they threaten the security of Israel.

        Egypt allows in only a few hundred Gaza travelers a day, so Hamas maintains a months-long waiting list. Those who pay for “coordination” — a bribe believed to be pocketed by authorities on both sides of the border — get bumped higher up the list.

        Lots of innocent young people are just trying to get away, but can’t and are going to get destroyed because of these two extreme sides.

            Historically humanity has not treated “outsiders” to their in-groups very well.

            Maybe it’s some form of human instinct from countless generations of violence against ourselves, it’s hard to say.

            Either way we shouldn’t let basic fears get in the way of helping each other.

            The overwhelming vast majority of PEOPLE in the Gaza Strip are innocent civilians just like you and me, and want nothing to do with this nonsense.

            Families began stockpiling food as soon as Saturday’s attack began but fear that despite Hamas assurances supplies will run low.

            With Israel cutting off electricity supplies into Gaza, a looming fuel shortage means private generators as well as the enclave’s own power station, which is still providing about four hours of energy a day, will struggle to function.

            Electricity shortages mean residents cannot recharge phones, so are cut off from news of each other and from events, and are unable to pump water into rooftop tanks.

            At night the enclave is plunged into total darkness, punctuated by the blasts of air strikes.

            War is indeed hell, my friend.

              Too bad, because they clearly harbor terrorists who have invited war on them.

              Am I supposed to feel bad when they FAFO?

                Yes. Most people are innocent civilians and none of them asked for this shit. Many of them were born into it, and they don’t even have the option to leave due to the blockade.

                  Most people are innocent civilians and none of them asked for this shit.

                  So instead of working with Israel, they chose to let Hamas represent them. Makes sense.

                    You think any of this is democratic? Most Gazans have never voted in an election
