Hamas has called on Palestinians to stay in their homes after Israel issued sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s more than 2.3 million people ahead of an expected ground offensive.

The Hamas authority for refugee affairs today told residents in the north of the territory to “remain steadfast in your homes and to stand firm in the face of this disgusting psychological war waged by the occupation”.

    Have you thought that perhaps Israel could just not bomb a civilian area?

    I’d argue that not leaving would hopefully discourage bombing the entire area and 2 million people losing their homes.

    Israel “we’ll do it anyway”

    Who’s the bad guys here?

      Did you forget what prompted this only a few days ago? I don’t know what kind of response they’d expect.

        Did you forget what prompted that? I don’t know what kind of response you expect from locking millions behind a wall on their own land.

          It didn’t happen.

          And if it happened then it wasn’t me.

          And if it was then it wasn’t that bad.

          And if it was then they deserved it <— You are here.
