Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity.
The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war.

Uh… You do realize Northern Gaza is in famine and Israel intends to attack Rafah where 1.4 million people are taking shelter right? The Holocaust was also a multi-year project.

Ah! So that’s what makes it okay to treat people like animals

What do you think of that mass grave the Israelis put at a hospital and won’t let anyone investigate?
“But Israel doesn’t.” You’re right. They slaughter thousands instead. To the tune of around 32k.
See that’s the difference between us.
You think that would justify it and I don’t think that justifies killing 10,s of thousands of people that had nothing to do with it.
It is unjustifiable, the same as what hummus did
Oh well, who’s radicalized now?
Damn, I hope one day you realise how wrong it is to generalise people.
How would you feel if someone says that you are a scumbag just because your neighbour is a scumbag?
Now question yourself if you want to be that type of person.
You do know that only 3k dudes attacked Israel on the 7th, right? The people responsible for the attack are almost assured to be part of the 13k “militants” already killed in action.
You mean the people who’s family are literally begging the Israeli government to negotiate a safe return for? The people Benny has been ignoring to satiate his lust for Palestinian blood?

So many militants killed? Oh, you made my day. But the Gaza inhabitants were SO proud to approve the massacre of Fatah by Hamas when it made its coup d’État, remember? They loved Hamas. But it did in fact sacrify them by attacking Israel. Now they weep, man, it’s war, when you cannot be the victor, don’t begin it!
About the hostages, too easy for Hamas to use them! Either it gives them back, or it will be annihilated. Good riddance my friend, let’s discuss with PLO now.
Not as happy as the Israeli, who wanted it to happen so they could treat Gaza as hostile territory.
So in love that Hamas had to do a coup?
Like the Israeli wouldn’t kill them either way. Everyone knows it’s just an excuse to kill more women and children.
If they wanted to deal with the plo they wouldn’t have empowered Hamas to take Palestine in the first place.
The hardliners in Israel have been hoping for and enabling an oct 7 event for years, there’s no way they’re going to let a tragedy go to waste.
@TranscendentalEmpire
Interesting.
Possible that Israel was secretly happy of the Hamas coup: Hamas in Gaza, PLO/Fatah in Judea, divide ut regnes.
Hamas had to do a coup not against the population, but against competition: PLO/Fatah and followers. The majority believed the Hamas propaganda that it was the only one willing to attack Israel.
Well, it did, and they weep by now. They supported Hamas, applauded loudly the massacres of October 7th, hid the hostages … They’re reaping the whirlwind.
By that logic couldn’t we claim that Israel deserved oct 7th for their support of Netanyahu?
The whole point is that targeting civilians because of the actions of the government is bad. You don’t see me gleefully celebrating the 7th, killing hundreds of civilians is wrong. Killing tens of thousands of civilians in response is several magnitudes worse.
These particular men? Your evidence?
