“We know there are voices across the world calling for a ceasefire, but what everyone needs to understand is that the only people who stand to gain from halting the bombing campaign are people who deeply value human life,”

when Israel sent sms notifications to evacuate, because they will start bombing, Hamas started giving leaflets to stay at home

Seems like those leaflets were probably good advice. Israel has told northern Gazans to move south, but then proceeded to bomb areas in the south. It's almost seems like the intent was to concentrate them to increase civilian life loss... But why would Israel do that?!

Oh there's even more angles than just that.

"Oh no, we told them to go south. Must mean everyone still here is Hamas and we can murder these 'combatants' that certainly aren't civilians".

Also, they get to annex even more Palestinian land. It's even on the coast!

I swear to fuck, unless an Israeli mouthpiece is calling Palestinians sub-human, everything else is lies or projection.
