Israel orders unprecedented evacuation of 1 million in Gaza as possible ground offensive looms
Israel’s military has told some 1 million Palestinians to evacuate northern Gaza and head to the southern part of the besieged territory. That's an unprecedented order applying to almost half the population ahead of an expected ground invasion against the ruling Hamas militant group.
Of course Israel knows this is not possible, but it’s a nice statement to point at every time they get caught killing civilians. “Look we told them to leave, nothing we can do after that.”
So, more war crimes incoming.
War crimes was yesterday's word of the day....isn't the morning memo out yet?
It's the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.
Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they're basically declaring that they're going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.
Which is a war crime.
"Hamas did it first" doesn't give them a pass here. If it's not ok for Hamas, it's not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state...
Forgive us sir, I didn't realize that civilians getting burned with white phosphorus, highly NSFL/NSFW was such a boring event for you.
But in reality you are probably just numb as all of us to what is happening because:
-
There is nothing we can do, except social pressure.
-
There is nothing that will be done. Until everyone has had their fill of violence.
But today's word of the day is war crime, tomorrow's word of the day doesn't have to be.

Evacuation to where?
Per the linked article "toward the southern part of the besieged territory", which seems awfully vague for a major displacement of people.
Permanently Deleted
Which is?
Remember the partition of India? Remember the Nakba?
Telling 1 million people that they no longer have a home never ends well.
Time has run out
You're just a straight up warmonger, eh?
I'm a realist. A humanist. And have a bit of knowledge in history. By my read, there is now a clock running on invasion. The US would step off at night.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s military told some 1 million Palestinians on Friday to evacuate northern Gaza and head to the southern part of the besieged territory, an unprecedented order applying to almost half the population ahead of an expected ground invasion against the ruling Hamas militant group.
Hamas, which staged a shocking and brutal attack on Israel nearly a week ago and has fired thousands of rockets since, dismissed it as a ploy and called on people to stay in their homes.
The evacuation order, which includes Gaza City, home to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, sparked widespread panic among civilians and aid workers already running from Israeli airstrikes and contending with a total siege and a territory-wide blackout.
Israel has bombarded Gaza round-the-clock since a weekend attack in which Hamas fighters stormed into the country’s south and massacred hundreds, including killing children in their homes and young people at a music festival.
Egypt, which made peace with Israel decades ago and has long served as a regional mediator, is staunchly opposed to resettling Palestinians on its territory, both because of the costs involved and because it would undermine their quest for an independent state.
On Thursday, Israel said its complete siege of Gaza — which has left Palestinians desperate for food, fuel and medicine — would remain in place until Hamas militants free the hostages taken.
