"Many Gazans have refused to leave their homes for the south, fearing a repeat of the “Nakba” or “catastrophe”, when many Palestinians fled or were forced from their homes during the 1948 war that accompanied Israel’s creation.
Some 700,000 Palestinians, half the Arab population of what was British-ruled Palestine, were dispossessed and displaced, many spilling into neighbouring Arab states where they or many of their descendants remain. Many still live in refugee camps."
“They told us to escape and then they bomb people on the road. My father drove back to Gaza City. He said if we are dying anyway, let’s be at home in Gaza,” she said.
Damn. This is really heartbreaking.
Heartbreaking indeed, but just for the record- The road bomb which killed 70+ was from Hamas. They are literally bombing their own people, putting up roadblocks inside their cities, and confiscating people’s car keys to keep them in the area as human shields.
Literally zero of those sources are reliable, thus the downvotes.
“The Israeli military said that many of the Palestinians are getting stuck in traffic caused by Hamas roadblocks”
The Israeli military is 100% a propaganda machine.
100%… I mean someone is doing the bombing…
My man, you’re sourcing rabidly pro-Israel sites, and Twitter.
I’ve seen the same footage, but I don’t recall seeing Hamas confetti come out of the explosion.
Yes, it’s entirely possible Hamas planted that bomb, but ascribing attribution with certainty is an impossible task at this point.
Feel free to point out the valid question, but for your own sake, don’t automatically assume that facts from a warzone that are made readily available are somehow automatically credible.
To paraphrase the old saying, the first casualty in war is the truth.
Only Israel says it’s a car bomb. All other reports say missile.
They are literally bombing their own people, putting up roadblocks inside their cities, and confiscating people’s car keys to keep them in the area as human shields.
How are they using them as human shields? These people just live there.
It is really tough for Palestinians now. Not many places are taking them.
They can’t even get out for people to take them in. The exits are blocked and the ‘safe evacuation route’ seems to be a major target for Israeli bombs and missiles. This is so fucked.
Correction: escape routes are targets of Hamas who want to keep the civilian population in place as human shields.
Ah yes, the IDF. The best source to say they did nothing wrong and it’s all Hamas doing it. Makes perfect sense.
