Israeli ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of northern Gaza and residents will not be allowed to return home, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said, in what appears to be the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area.

In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”.

International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.

Yep, they see the writing on the wall. I wonder if they’ll wait until after inauguration to start allowing Israeli settlers to build towns and beachfront property, or just do it now?

Probably now. It's not Iike Biden did anything to stop them either.

So let's give a chnace to the guy who'd speed up Palestinians' demise even faster.

Its already been happening. Just look at what's happening in northern Gaza.

Sure bud. It can't get any worse under Trump!🙄

Attitudes like that is why Democrats lost the Arab vote, which made them lose swing states like Michigan. Israel is currently undertaking an extermination campaign in Northern Gaza, openly saying they want to settle Northen Gaza, killing civilians in West Jerusalem as well as demolishing homes, invading Lebanon, and trying to start a regional war with Iran. Trump didn't do that, Biden did. Saying it's going to get worse under Trump is meaningless when terror attacks and civilians are being slaughtered with impunity. A genocide is a genocide. Whether one is slower or faster makes little difference.

Of course, of course. Not like saying 'we condemn Israel' would've cost them any votes in other states.

Vast majority of Americans are deeply compassionate and concerned about what goes on in the world, especially Middle East.

Obviously, Americans are a monolith and DNC chose to go against its opinion and lost the election. That's what happened.

Supporting Israel was the unpopular opinion. Over 2/3rds of Americans supported enforcing a ceasefire, 80% of Democrats did. They didn't do it for the popular vote. They did it for political convenience and foreign lobbying.

The compassion of a vast majority of Americans doesn't mean shit when their tax dollars are funding a genocide.

They lost the election because they failed to listen to their voters. This failure is a failure of the DNC and the overall Democratic party. Full stop.

He gets that chance now, though probably they will continue doing exactly what they want at their chosen pace because no one was ever standing in their way.

Your argument is not very strong. Slow death versus fast death? Actually, I think that the IDF might be going about as fast as they can.
