Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has ordered the Israeli military to come up with a plan for civilians sheltering in the southern city of Rafah to evacuate, his office said on Friday, clearing the way for an expected offensive into the crowded city.
“Any forceful action in Rafah would require the evacuation of the civilian population from combat zones,” the prime minister’s office said, without saying what area those zones would cover.
Israeli forces bombarded the southern Gaza border city of Rafah with airstrikes, killing multiple civilians, Palestinian media reported on Thursday, a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said the military was preparing to advance on the area, which is crowded with people who have fled other parts of the Strip.
The strikes heightened fears among the more than a million Palestinians crowded into Rafah, which lies along a closed Egyptian border, as Israel’s army has repeatedly warned that it plans to push further south in its ground invasion in Gaza in what it says is an attempt to defeat Hamas.
The Biden administration said on Thursday that it would not at this point support Israeli plans for a military operation in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza where more than half of the enclave’s total population has sought shelter, and both a White House spokesman and the U.N. secretary general warned of catastrophe should Israel attack.
“Given the circumstances and the conditions there that we see right now, we think a military operation at this time would be a disaster for those people,” a White House spokesman, John Kirby, told reporters.
If only there were some sort of camps where they could give them jobs. They could load the civilians onto trains and ship them to those camps.
Netanyahu going for the even more classic “Let Mozes split apart the Red Sea and they can all move through there” strat.
Reality: forced relocation of refugees who have already been forced away from their original homes, which is a war crime.
NYT regurgitating government talking points: evacuating people to protect them from the bombing that the IDF are FORCED to do! 🤦
NYT is almost as bad as Times of Israel sometimes 🤬
Can’t wait to see how the Hamas apologist crowd spins this as a satanic plot to kill and imprison the Palestinian people.
Um, what?

C’mon, the guy got 6 upvotes for saying my post history was filled with racist and hateful posts toward Palestinian civilians. Surely you guys can find at least one?
Show one post where I said one-word expressing hatred toward any Palestinian civilian.
What’s hateful about posting that? 24 upvotes but when I post it suddenly it turns hateful?
It’s forced relocation, which is a war crime (Trail of Tears is another example).
You don’t have to be a Hamas apologist to see that obvious fact, but you DO have to be a genocide apologist to automatically paint all criticism of the Israeli government’s crimes as Hamas apologia. Be better.
Israel is going to attack Hamas in Rafah which is currently filled with Palestinian civilians. Israel wants to evacuate said civilians. you accuse Israel of a war crime if they do evacuate them and genocide if they don’t? Do you guys prefer more dead? Seems like defending Hamas to me.
How many different forced evacuations does it take before you see the pattern?

Right… and how many areas that they ‘evacuated’ to have then needed to be evacuated in the future…
move or we kill you
Yeah definitely not at all forced movements

As I figured. Another potty mouth…
Yeah, because me using a word that isn’t considered polite in Sunday school automatically makes your shilling for a genocidal apartheid regime a good thing 🙄
Let me ask you a question, isn’t their evacuation of the civilians from Rafah against the genocidal storyline?
No. Forcing them to leave their homes and then any subsequent shelter they find decreases their ability to survive and as such contributes to the genocide body count.

And in case you’re interested Mr. Detective. my bans from any community were temporary and I never circumvented any. You are frr to ask the mods of this group if you want to satisfy your morbid curiosity. But go ahead and continue your childish doxxing behavior.
… sorry, but did you just ask people to find proof of your comments… Then comment that they’re doxxing 😂

When they post something like that guy did instead of posting COMMENTS yes. I am going to accuse them of some low-brow bullshit. The mods here agreed otherwise his post wouldn’t have been removed for a Rule 6 violation.
Not sure what post you’re speaking of. Nothing seems removed on kbin
The dumb post saying I have 10 accounts that only listed 6 is still there? Because the mod in the community removed it.
Suuuureeee is.
Nope, if you care to look. i only post from the discuss.online account cause in my opinion it seems better than most. I keep the sh.itjust.works cause I created a community there. But I know you can’t find any racist or hateful posts towards any Palestinian civilian if you search for the next 10 years.
You posted from .zip last week, lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, and lemmus 3 weeks ago. and you stopped using .ml because you were banned
Yes I literally cannot search because it gets removed and Lemmy instances aren’t cached on Google like reddit was.
Why don’t you tell me what multiple violations you were banned for? Because it’s not tracked anywhere I can find.
Really says a lot that only your comments have been removed not philos
