Israel says 'last opportunity' for Gaza City residents to leave

Source: The Guardian

The Israeli military has issued what it said was its final warning for Gaza City residents to flee as it intensified its bombardment and offensive on Wednesday, while Hamas was reportedly considering requesting amendments to Donald Trump’s ceasefire ultimatum.

Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, said the warning was the last opportunity for people to move to southern Gaza as the military encircled the city. Gaza’s civil defence agency said on Wednesday that Israeli forces had killed at least 46 people, including 36 in Gaza City.

Katz said: “This is the last opportunity for Gaza residents who wish to do so to move south and leave Hamas operatives isolated in Gaza City.” Those who remained “will be considered terrorists and terrorist supporters”, he said.

International humanitarian law experts have said evacuation orders amount to forced displacement and that civilians who remain in evacuated areas do not lose their protected status under international law.

1. Does anyone think Israel cares about international law?

Seems like the US is also unconcerned about rules of engagement and international law.

Leaving many to give up in despair. These are starving people at the end of their strength with no money for transportation.

The poor, elderly, orphans, the sick and dying who can't leave are going to be mowed down as "terrorists".


Israel is missing the morality gene, at least when it comes to Palestinians and other Arabs/Muslims.

10. Genocidal Abrahamic Blood Cults Have Inflicted Greater Harm Upon Humanity Than Any Other Single Societal Construct

This is ongoing prima facie evidence of what's been going on since the very beginning of the Abrahamic blood cults of YAHWEH, Islam & Christ.

'Faith' is the willing suspension of critical thinking and wholesale embrace of delusion as fact.

May reason rule where delusion dwells.
