Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

    I think it’s the other way around. Israel put them in a gheto because they literally had no other way to protect their citizens. Now that the Palestinians have found a way around that, they’re back to killing the Israelis. And Israel is responding again.

      That’s the same reasoning the Nazis used though. They said that Jews caused Germany to lose WW1, Jews caused the pain and suffering and instability of the German people. This was German land, not Jewish land, and so they had no choice but to lock up and exterminate the Jews for the safety and wellbeing of their own.

      It was bullshit then and it’s bullshit now.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Reinhard

        Nazis didn’t even “want” to exterminate the Jews… Gypsies yes, they shot those on sight, just like cripples… but all those Jews, Poles, Gays and similar, they “only” wanted to ship them all to Egypt or wherever in Africa… but those pesky Allies thwarted their plans, so “what were they supposed to do”. 🙄

        And look, Egypt is again refusing to let the “undesirables” in, only this time it’s the Palestinians… and the ones pushing them out are the Israelis. 😒

        Wonder what will the books end up calling this “operation”.
