Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its “responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip”.

Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory.

    Also how routine is it if the last time it happened was 1971?

        where people are routinely scooped up

        That was your characterization of the situation on the ground in the Gaza Strip. That characterization is obviously incorrect. Pointing it out isn’t some faux pas.

        The issue here is that both sides have historically done evil shit in the region. But since the end of the Cold War, funding for overt traditional war by the Arab side has dried up and as such most of the atrocities done in the name of that war have too. But terrorism on the part of the Palestinians has risen dramatically. And that rise really can’t be attributed to Israeli actions.

          It’s happened literally every day since 1948, Israel didn’t even deny it. You’ve clearly not read much into the matter.

          Palestinians are Arabs and I think that’s where we stop because you’re clearly just trolling and aren’t quite aware of what you speak on.

            You gave one example of it from 1971. Since 1971 there have been numerous peace agreements, cease fires and summits that were all designed to create a functional 2 state solution in the region and peace between Israel and her neighbors.

              Correct, and Palestine is not the one breaching at the moment, Israel is. The settlements broke treaty and continue to let alone the war crime of walling in a population, cutting supplies and bonding them day and night often in areas Israel know are meant to be safe zones.

              Stop simping, they’re both shit, it’s both their faults so stop already.

                What treaty? The Palestinians backed out of the Oslo Accords that would have ended these settlements and Gaza was a unilateral action by Israel. Since then Hamas took over the strip and wholesale murdered the PA there. Agreements have been between Israel and the PA and Israel and Hamas.

                  They were illegal prior to the Oslo accords too.

                  You’re trying real real hard to simp for Israel but you don’t seem to have an actual point aside from “Palestine bad Israel good.”

                    They were illegal prior to the Oslo accords too.

                    Palestine never agreed to the Oslo Accords. And this fight is taking place in Gaza, instigated by the government of Gaza which has had zero settlements since Israel forcibly removed all the settlers in 2004/2005.
