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.

        Are you that stupid? Read the thread again. It started with voting or non voting. Seriously american non voters are even dumber than american voters.

              That wasn’t the start of the thread. The start of the thread was my comment (which your comment was a response to). You were changing the topic.

                To that I replied to ask if you voted because you sounds like a non voter. I agree with your points against Biden. None of them are an excuse to let the country fall to fascism which you have done by not voting. That puts you on the same level as every MAGA voter.
