Morch Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 1 hour ago, ozimoron said: Removing 2 million people from the Gaza strip and failing to allow them back or failing to rebuild the infrastructure would be prima facie genocide. @ozimoron Gazans were not removed from the Gaza Strip in this war.

Bkk Brian Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 6 hours ago, Neeranam said: Is that because they've either killed or displaced everyone in northern Gaza? No, there are still plenty of civilians left in Northern Gaza: As Israel dials back the intensity of its military campaign in the northern Gaza Strip, some residents say they are able to walk through war-ravaged neighborhoods more freely, and that the sounds of gun battles and explosions are becoming less frequent. Rami Jelde, 32, a resident of Gaza City, said that over the last four weeks he had not seen any Israeli soldiers while walking the streets of what was Gaza’s most populous city before the war. https://archive.ph/gUm29 NYT Seems quite a few don't want a return to Hamas rule either, they kinda feel that all this has been Hamas's fault. "Mohammed al-Khaldi, a father of two children displaced from Gaza City, told the BBC: "I lost my home, my shop and my source of income. I am no longer able to provide the simplest requirements of life for my children. "I hold the Israeli occupation responsible for the massive destruction, but I do not absolve Hamas of responsibility for everything that happened," he said." "A businessman called Mohammed agreed. "We have lived under unjust rule for more than 16 years. Hamas imposed heavy taxes on us and now they have dragged us into a devastating war in which we lost our property, money and homes," he told the BBC." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68034128 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, so Gazans left there home just for the fun of it, not because Israel dropped 2,000 pound bombs about willy nilly. The rest of what you wrote I suppose means something in your mind but I don't see any sense in it. As for going back to what, the Israeli's made good on their promise of nothing to go back to and I expect that's because the plans are already being drawn up to recolonise Gaza so that Israel can get all that gas, this is all about money and power to the Zionists, never mind that the oppressed of the last 76 years kicked your collective arse's once on the 7/10. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placeholder Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 This hasn't got much attention at all in the media: UN Accuses Israel of Detaining, Mistreating Thousands of Palestinians Addressing journalists in Geneva by video link from Gaza, Ajith Sunghay, OHCHR representative in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, said he met “a number” of released detainees who said they’d been held by Israel Defense Forces for between 30 and 55 days. “Getting to the bottom of numbers has been extremely difficult, but we have heard that it runs into the thousands,” said Sunghay. “They described being beaten, humiliated, subjected to ill treatment and to what may amount to torture,” he added. https://www.voanews.com/a/un-accuses-israel-of-detaining-mistreating-thousands-of-palestinians-/7447577.html 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripped, Beaten or Vanished: Israel’s Treatment of Gaza Detainees Raises Alarm A spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, Hisham Mhanna, said his organization received daily reports from families in Gaza about detained family members. The organization is working on some 4,000 cases of Palestinians from Gaza who had vanished, nearly half believed to be detained by the Israeli military, he said. The group has been seeking information about the conditions and whereabouts of detainees and pushing for visits. But only in a handful of cases has it even received proof of life, Mr. Mhanna said. https://archive.ph/S6a4Y https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/23/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-palestinian-detainees.html Edited January 24 by placeholder 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hopes of change in Gaza are fading fast as the Hamas crackdown on a mass protest movement this week is already seeing dwindling numbers of people turning out. A local Palestinian human rights watchdog has recorded over 1,000 arrests in the past week, 300 of those are still in detention. Those released from Hamas custody were forced to pay a fine of around $280 and sign a document pledging not to participate in further demonstrations or face a fine of $2,800, the Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR) added. In the Hamas response, director ICHR Jamil Sarhan was hospitalised. Many of those released said that they were beaten and tortured while in prison. https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/mena/hamas-crackdown-on-protests-snuffs-out-a-push-for-change-in-gaza-1.839824 Palestinians are getting brutalised in Gaza and you ignore that and focus of fals accusations made about Israel . Could it be that Hamas are pointing fingers at Israel, just so they can carry on attacking civilians without any criticism ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
