We held a virtual encounter with Al-Farra and his patients this past Monday via a video call. In the past few weeks, we’ve sought to document what starvation looks like in Gaza, to witness the gravity of the situation with our own eyes. Israel doesn’t allow journalists into the Strip, but via video we’ve been able to conduct real-time, online tours of hospitals and clinics.
For this article we conducted four such tours, in different places, and conducted separate conversations with another 12 doctors, 10 of them volunteers from the United States and Britain, who are currently in the Gaza Strip or were there recently. What we saw there left no room for doubt about the scale of the horror.
So if Hamas unconditionally surrendered and all the hostages were returned, you think Isreal would continue to attack and starve Gaza? They simply couldn’t - that would actually lose support from the U.S. if that happened.
Yes, because Israel is explicitly a settler colonial project. They could keep attacking Gaza like they keep attacking Syria despite Syria not doing anything hostile to them. Israel is there to take land while killing and displacing the current inhabitants.
US support for Israel is not derived from popular support, but by the profits of the military industrial complex. As long the conflict is profitable it will continue.
Yes because the plan of zionists and israel was always taking control of all palestine. The honest zio think palestinians doesn’t even exists, they call them arab invaders
Just forget “Hamas”, you clearly don’t understand what it is at all, which is fathers of dead children, children of dead parents, brothers of dead sisters. It is naturally produced by oppression and can no more surrender than an immune system can be consciously controlled. Stop the attacks and it will naturally dissipate or normalise, like all other non-colonialist militia.
It grew spontaneously in a relative time of peace before the October attacks. They are financed and supported from abroad - they won’t ‘dissipate’ unless they are forced to.
Isreal had repeatedly rejected ceasefires and agreements doing that.
Negotiated ceasefires would always have conditions. That’s not an ‘unconditional surrender’.
We’re at the point where Israel consistently calls everyone in the area hamas, or anyone opposing them. Even if hamas did surrender like that they’d continue because well not all of them laid down their arms, that baby was being trained to shoot us
This entire thread you’re entire argument is just
people who have been starved, oppressed and ethnicly cleansed should just surrender to those doing it to them
You do realize that Hamas is still fighting with guns and rockets against Israel, right?
And idf is only killing those right?
No, they’re shooting indiscriminately and not safeguarding civilians and if it’s not a war crime, it should be. All the more reason for the people of Gaza to surrender - just like France did under blitzkrieg. Not a great choice to have to make but it’s insane that Gaza doesn’t surrender.
Because they know either way Israels only goal is to kill everyone in that area. Even if they did it doesn’t matter if Israel doesn’t accept it
You don’t know that. And I don’t believe it.
