Brig Gen Itzik Cohen said in a briefing that few people now remain in the north of the Gaza Strip

Israeli ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of northern Gaza and residents will not be allowed to return home, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said, in what appears to be the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area.

In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”.

International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.

      No, it’s Biden’s fault. Why are you trying to deflect blame away?

      Just admit that you don’t care about Gazans.

        I care a lot about palestinians. Which is why Harris should have won. With her you have a chance to get improvement. With Trump things get worse.

        But in the end if the choice is between fascism and non fascism and you pick neither you are responsible for the fascism

            Where did I do that?

            I said Biden is not a fascist which he clearly isnt. He does support the Israelian genocide by sending weapons and that is wrong and in every other election would be justified to punish by not voting.

            Here it was the democracy on the line. You will now thanks to your actions never again have the chance to elect someone who will protect Palestine. You instead get Trump who will support Israel even more and probably have more settlements named after him.

              You’re explaining why you voted for Harris.

              I’m asking why you deny that Biden is a genocidal white supremacist.

                I didnt vote you idiot. I cant vote in american elections. Biden is not a genocidal white supremacist because he is neither committing a genocide nor for the subjugation of people of colour. Words have meanings.

                Biden is sending weapons to a genocidal maniac while telling him to stop the genocide. Which is stupid and a contradiction.

                With the other side doing the exact same it is not an excuse to handle the reigns to fascists
