From.what I'm.seeing they can't get out of Gaza at either crossing , and it looks like Gaza city has been Well and truly bombed . Food and water have been cut of there just there trying g to dodge the next bombings, there's some bloody graphic footage of all this going on.
The Brexitory Home Secretary, a Mauritian/ Indian half caste, is married to a Jew. Which explains her idiocy in saying anyone flying a Palestinian flag in Britain is breaking the law. That woman is so fucking stupid and ugly she must be one helluva fantastic fuck.
Interesting article on the tunnels of Gaza...
BBC News
Israel says it is striking parts of a secret labyrinth of tunnels built underneath the Gaza Strip by Hamas, as it continues to retaliate for the Palestinian Islamist militant group's unprecedented cross-border attack on Saturday.
"Think of the Gaza Strip as one layer for civilians and then another layer for Hamas. We are trying to get to that second layer that Hamas has built," an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson said in a video on Thursday.
"These aren't bunkers for Gazan civilians. It's only for Hamas and other terrorists so that they can continue to fire rockets at Israel, to plan operations, to launch terrorists into Israel," they claimed.
It is very difficult to assess the size of the network, which Israel has dubbed the "Gaza Metro" because it is believed to stretch beneath a territory that is only 41km (25 miles) long and 10km wide.
Following a conflict in 2021, the IDF said it had destroyed more than 100km of tunnels in air strikes. Hamas meanwhile claimed that its tunnels stretched 500km and that only 5% were hit. To put those figures into perspective, the London Underground is 400km long and is mostly above ground.

While I was in Sudan I noticed a lot of beggers in Khartoum.and asked if this was normal and was told it wasn't, the beggers were Syrians fleeing an also fucked up situation. I can't imagine having to flee your already fucked up war torn country to have to go another fucked up country, I guess there was no choice
Taken a little out of context there sa. She said in certain circumstances, waving Palesinian flags, singing Palestinian songs or waving Nazi symbols in Jewish communities or singling out jews could be seen as a criminal offence.
Have to admit though, she is not the most diplomatic of characters.
That's what you get from a bloke that moved to pattaya to chase pussy and now blames brexit for his bad life choices, next thing ya know he will be banging on about Israeli and Palestinian chicken heads , medieval snake pits etc etc , must suck to be retired and miserable as fuck. If I were him I would be looking g on the bright side and delighted that I was retired in Thailand and not a Palestinian or Israeli. I wonder what the worse thing that could happen to him in pattaya could be? Compared to the shit that's occurring there. Cretinous behaviour gent, tut tut.
Hamas is targeting civilians, killing children with intent. Israel has any right to hit back. I pity the palestinean children, because Hamas does not care for them at all. Using them as shield. Then go whining to the UN, if they are hit as collateral damage, as intended.
Back to the war. Not the one one in pattaya
, the serious one
Hamas has committed war crimes no doubt but if anyone thinks Israel retaliating in kind is ok they would be wrong legally, morally and ethically. They would be judged War Criminals by the ICC if it weren't for Uncle Sam making sure that will never happen. It wouldn't be the first time btw.
As expected, pretty much a repeat of what Blinkin said yesterday.

Second, a columnist at Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper unearthed evidence that Netanyahu has intentionally propped up Hamas rule in Gaza — seeing Palestinian extremism as a bulwark against a two-state solution to the conflict.
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” the prime minister reportedly said at a 2019 meeting of his Likud party. “This is part of our strategy — to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
These exact comments have not yet been confirmed by other sources. But the Times of Israel’s Tal Schneider wrote on Sunday that Netanyahu’s reported words “are in line with the policy that he implemented,” which did little to challenge and in some ways bolstered Hamas’s control over the Gaza Strip. Moreover, Schneider notes, “the same messaging was repeated by right-wing commentators, who may have received briefings on the matter or talked to Likud higher-ups and understood the message.” Some Netanyahu confidants have said the same thing, as have outside experts.
Put together, these two pieces tell a larger story: that the strategic vision of Netanyahu’s far-right government is a failure.
The notion that Israel can deliver security for its citizens by dividing and conquering Palestinians, crushing them into submission as a kind of colonial overlord, is both immoral and counterproductive on its own terms. Recognizing this reality will be crucial to formulating not only a humane response to Hamas’s atrocity, but an effective one.
State of Israel has funded Hamas over the years....
The secular moderates from Fatah got ...nothing.
Cynic, cold hearted and calculating
So Israel has "ordered" the evacuation of 1.3 million Palestinians ostensibly so they can wade into the Gaza Strip and "wipe out Hamas".
Of course this isn't feasible by any stretch of the imagination.
What chance more Palestinian territory is absorbed by Israel after this is all over?
