Israel’s Defence Minister Yaov Gallant has ordered the complete closure of the Gaza Strip, including a ban on the entry of food, water, fuel or access to electricity as Israel intensifies its bombardment of the besieged Strip in the wake of the surprise attack by the Palestinian resistance. His comments have drawn criticism for advocating collective punishment of Gaza’s entire civilian Palestinian population in breach of international law.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant ordered an increase in intensity of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Gallant said that the war Israel is fighting against Hamas is “a war for our future.”
He added: “Exacting a heavy price from the enemy is a necessary condition for our existence in the region.”
Gallant makes the comments during a visit to the Israeli Air Force’s underground command centre at the Israeli occupation forces headquarters in Tel Aviv.

He’s dehumanizing the many over the acts of a few. He’s just trying to make it easier to justify the ramping up of their genocide.
Reminder that everyone in this conflict besides Civilians are bad people. Hamas is a terrorist organization. The Israeli government support the genocide of the Palestinian people. Everyone else are just planning to profit from this.
Every group that fights an occupying force gets labeled a terrorist organization.
When Argentina occupied the Falkland Islands, the UK military who fought them weren’t described as a terrorist organisation. Not by anyone with an ounce of sense at least, and certainly not by the islanders who’s land and homes had been occupied.
Every indigenous group that fights an occupying force gets labeled a terrorist organization.
Well done, that’s less false than your initial comment.
Thanks for testing my thesis.
Every single liberation group was considered a terrorist organization. Fuck, even Antifa gets called that and they’re not even an organization.
Antiwar website has a biased antiwar stance.
“We have been warning time and time again… everything is going to erupt and everybody is going to pay a price – mainly innocent civilians on both sides. And unfortunately, that is exactly what happened,” he added.
Gaza has also been under an Israeli-imposed land, sea, and air blockade since 2007, and Israel frequently bombs the besieged enclave. The last major bombing campaign took place in 2021, when over 250 Palestinians were killed.
“The Israeli government, which is a fascist government, supports, encourages, and leads pogroms against the Palestinians. There is an ethnic cleansing going on. It was obvious the writing was on the wall, written in the blood of the Palestinians – and unfortunately now Israelis as well,” Cassif said.

Antiwar website has a biased antiwar stance.
what the hell are you going on about, everyone with a soul is anti-war
Well, many are not antiwar if you look at the bloods and crips, only a few are antiwar.
That is why I made sure to post that antiwar.com is antiwar, I can’t use them as a news source on lemmy due to “left” bias stance.
someone else take a gander at this because this is confusing the hell outta me
Israel: we literally don’t think people in Gaza are human
Westerners: I can’t tell the difference between the two sides!
"Hah! Nice argument~ but you failed to consider that
[reverb bass boosted] Itttssss cooommpliicccaaattteeeeeddddd"
It’s like the people responsible for terror on innocent people are animals, now. But how long were they treated like animals before they ever acted like them?
Yea, complicated it is.
It’s not complicated. Stop doing ethnic cleansing on Palestinians. Up until that point, they deserve everything that happens to them.
Strange, terrorist organization don’t seem to pop up in countries with better human rights.
Out of curiosity, what results do you get when you search “US White supremacist militia”?
Those seem like terrorist organizations to me, and I think the U$ has better “human rights” than Gaza.
You have a point. Though the US white supremesists haven’t launched such organized and open assaults. So maybe it just scales with human rights abuses.
They don’t need to because cops can just flat out murder people off the streets. And brownshirts are a thing too they show up at protests to harass the strikers. Also they’re not under an active genocide (as much as they try to feign that they are) so there isn’t a lot of violence gas to go ham with.
This shitbag is a right wing fascist who would make Hitler blush with pride.
