Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza for nearly three months has destroyed 70 percent of the homes in the besieged Palestinian enclave, according to the Government Media Office.
No further details were provided but an earlier report said more than 200 heritage and archaeological sites were destroyed in the Israeli bombardment considered the most destructive in modern history.
About 300,000 out of 439,000 homes have been destroyed in Israeli attacks, a Wall Street Journal report said. Analysing satellite imagery, the report added that the 29,000 bombs dropped on the strip have targeted residential areas, Byzantine churches, hospitals and shopping malls and all civilian infrastructure has been damaged to an extent that they cannot be repaired.
“The word ‘Gaza’ is going to go down in history along with Dresden [Germany] and other famous cities that have been bombed,” Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago who has written about the history of aerial bombing, told WSJ.
They’re going to remove Hamas, either the easy way or the hard way.
And by hard you mean the genocide way.
No, Palestinians will still exist after Hamas is gone.
We had the holocaust and Jewish people still exist, are you denying that genocide as well? A genocide doesn’t have to be a success to be a genocide.
Removing Hamas is not a genocide, and Palestinians will still exist after Hamas is successfully removed.
They’re going to remove Palestine. Whether Hamas still exists afterward will be irrelevant, except maybe to serve as some nightmare boogeyman that Israel’s leadership can use to justify literally anything.
Israel could already have Gaza if they really cared to.
