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.

    You know, now that Biden has lost the election and no longer needs the support of AIPAC, there’s no reason for him to continue to allow Netanyahu to do this.

    Biden could stop this all with a phone call. He could tell the US ambassador to the UN to stop vetoing Security Council resolutions about Israel.

    But he won’t. Because it’s not about electability. The truth is that Biden supports what is happening in Gaza. He thinks the primitive barbaric Gazans are getting what they deserve for standing up to the noble white people who are trying to civilize them.

    You know what that’s called? It’s called being a white supremacist.

    Biden is a genocidal white supremacist, and I wish the Democrats would fucking admit it, but they won’t.

    WHAT’S HIS EXCUSE NOW, DEMOCRATS? WHAT’S HIS EXCUSE NOW?

    Genocide apologists, all of them. Scratch a liberal, find a white supremacist.

          You people seem to be slow. So again: When the choice is fascism or no fascism you pick no fascism. If you like the candidate or not. The choice is simple.

          Maybe in the next election you would have the luxus to not vote then. Now you wont have next elections and you killed palestinians, Ukrainians and most likely Taiwanese people because of your stupidity not to realize that democrats are not good but better than republicans for palestine

            No, it’s Biden’s fault. Why are you trying to deflect blame away?

            Just admit that you don’t care about Gazans.

              I care a lot about palestinians. Which is why Harris should have won. With her you have a chance to get improvement. With Trump things get worse.

              But in the end if the choice is between fascism and non fascism and you pick neither you are responsible for the fascism

                  Where did I do that?

                  I said Biden is not a fascist which he clearly isnt. He does support the Israelian genocide by sending weapons and that is wrong and in every other election would be justified to punish by not voting.

                  Here it was the democracy on the line. You will now thanks to your actions never again have the chance to elect someone who will protect Palestine. You instead get Trump who will support Israel even more and probably have more settlements named after him.

        Americans won’t suffer anything like what Palestinian and Ukrainians (if they do lose).

        But they sure live ti be the center of attention.
