They want to remove Gaza from the face of the earth it's pretty clear.
What the fuck Israel? What the fuck? What the fuck?
- They're nazis, pure and simple.
We're so genuinely fucked guys, I can't with this anymore!
This is abhorrent.
It doesn't look like a refugee camp. Is it one of those misnomer district things where it was formerly a camp?
- It's a UNRWA-run refugee camp:

  It's just been there for so long they raised up permanent structures. Which is, you know, horrifying in its own way.
  
  It is horrible in how they aren't afforded regular municipality because of being labelled. That sucks!
Israel is throwing off some real "Ned and Jimbo hunting" vibes...
"Hamas is coming right for us."
- Seriously - bunch of guys with AK47s, RPGs and hang gliders. Only Israeli casualties since Oct. 7 have been IDF in combat, as far as I'm aware. Hard to not to see the entire thing as Likud's intentional policy - starve and degrade an entire population for two decades, then commence straight to genocide (or whatever you want to call it) the second the extremist group running it (that you've been facilitating payments to!) attacks.
  And then all mention of Israel's very short history being based on the displacement, and perpetual occupation/blockade, of the Palestinian population is also forbidden - and they attack the UN Secretary General for daring to mention the context, in the very same breath that he denounces Hamas's attacks. Whole world is just supposed to ignore that the state was founded on ethnic cleansing/land theft and pretend it's not continuing to this day.
