Israel’s Defence Minister Yaov Gallant has ordered the complete closure of the Gaza Strip, including a ban on the entry of food, water, fuel or access to electricity as Israel intensifies its bombardment of the besieged Strip in the wake of the surprise attack by the Palestinian resistance. His comments have drawn criticism for advocating collective punishment of Gaza’s entire civilian Palestinian population in breach of international law.


Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant ordered an increase in intensity of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.

Gallant said that the war Israel is fighting against Hamas is “a war for our future.”

He added: “Exacting a heavy price from the enemy is a necessary condition for our existence in the region.”

Gallant makes the comments during a visit to the Israeli Air Force’s underground command centre at the Israeli occupation forces headquarters in Tel Aviv.

    Reminder that everyone in this conflict besides Civilians are bad people. Hamas is a terrorist organization. The Israeli government support the genocide of the Palestinian people. Everyone else are just planning to profit from this.

        When Argentina occupied the Falkland Islands, the UK military who fought them weren’t described as a terrorist organisation. Not by anyone with an ounce of sense at least, and certainly not by the islanders who’s land and homes had been occupied.

      Every single liberation group was considered a terrorist organization. Fuck, even Antifa gets called that and they’re not even an organization.

    Israel: we literally don’t think people in Gaza are human

    Westerners: I can’t tell the difference between the two sides!

        It’s like the people responsible for terror on innocent people are animals, now. But how long were they treated like animals before they ever acted like them?

        Yea, complicated it is.

          It’s not complicated. Stop doing ethnic cleansing on Palestinians. Up until that point, they deserve everything that happens to them.

      Out of curiosity, what results do you get when you search “US White supremacist militia”?

      Those seem like terrorist organizations to me, and I think the U$ has better “human rights” than Gaza.

        You have a point. Though the US white supremesists haven’t launched such organized and open assaults. So maybe it just scales with human rights abuses.

          They don’t need to because cops can just flat out murder people off the streets. And brownshirts are a thing too they show up at protests to harass the strikers. Also they’re not under an active genocide (as much as they try to feign that they are) so there isn’t a lot of violence gas to go ham with.
