The prisoners have to be punished brutally for daring to retaliate against their conditions.
-
Lemmy has this weird thing of justifying mass execution of civilians...
-
You need to be more specific. Are you talking about the civilians inside the prison? Or the civilians outside the prison?
-
I assume you're trying to construe these kinds of statements as support or justification for Hamas' attack. That's mostly not the case. I don't think many people condone it. I know I find it unjustifiable. However I think the reasons why it happened are explainable and at least somewhat understandable.
The conditions the Palestinians have been driven to , largely by the Israeli military/government and the illegal settlers have created a situation where they feel there aren't many other options. It doesn't make the attacks any less horrific. It doesn't make the attacks right. It doesn't make them justified. But it does make them practically inevitable.

It's weird how I have no idea what side you're on.
-
Which civilians are you talking about?

Can someone eli5 me why the Israeli airstrikes inside Gaza mean Egypt can't open the border?
-
It is almost like Israel doesn't want this aid to reach Gaza.
-
Because last week Israel bombed the Gaza side of the border checkpoint multiple times.
-
My understanding is they'd need Israeli cooperation to ensure the area Gaza-side would be safe from bombardment.
-
They bombed the crossing once. They can and will do it again to enforce their blockade.
-
Israel own a 100m strip at the border. It can't be opened unless Israel agrees.
-
Do you have a source for this? Everything I’ve read has stated that that border is controlled by Egypt and Hamas.

It's only a war crime if you lose the war

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Cairo says the Rafah crossing, a potentially vital opening for desperately-needed supplies into the Israeli-besieged Palestinian enclave, is not officially closed but is inoperable due to Israeli air strikes on the Gaza side.
As Israel's bombardment and siege of Gaza has intensified, the territory's 2.3 million residents have been left without power, pushing health and water services to the brink of collapse, with fuel for hospital generators running low.
"There is an urgent need to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza," Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told reporters, adding that talks with Israel had not been fruitful.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced within Gaza, with some taking cars and suitcases south towards the Rafah crossing but others heading back north after failing to find refuge.
Like others, Egypt has spoken out against any mass exodus of Gaza residents, reflecting deep Arab fears that the latest war could spark a new wave of permanent displacement for Palestinians from lands where they have sought to build a state.
Early on Monday, two Egyptian security sources had told Reuters a temporary ceasefire in southern Gaza to last several hours had been agreed to facilitate aid and evacuations at Rafah.
The original article contains 548 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Bibi doesn't want Palestinians in Gaza to receive aide. He wants them all to fuck off and/or die.
You mean the land that they illegally stole from Palestinian civilians, butchering anyone that refused to be made homeless?
