Israel has tightened its siege of northern Gaza in the face of warnings from the UN and other aid agencies that hundreds of thousands of Palestinian lives at are risk, raising questions over whether the Netanyahu government’s ultimate war aims include territorial expansion.

The IDF says it is hunting Hamas militants but suspicions are growing that Israel is putting into practice a blueprint it had officially distanced itself from, known as the “generals’ plan”.

The plan, named after the retired senior officers promoting it, was intended to depopulate northern Gaza by giving the Palestinians trapped there an opportunity to evacuate and then treating those that stayed as combatants, laying total siege.

    protesting against zionist violence and land theft has all but been outlawed.

    But if this was two months ago, I’d agree with that. Thats why I was hoping more people would sign onto the uncommitted movement when we had a chance to let biden/harris know that supporting genocide wasnt going to be permitted by the voters.

      Yeah, that worked though. Biden stepped down and was replaced with Harris. That is extremely rare. His debate didnt help but different states voming back with 1-8% uncommited/other was also a driving force.

      Right now we need to defeat the local threat before we can put presser on the over seas threat. I.e russia and isreal
