Israeli ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of northern Gaza and residents will not be allowed to return home, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said, in what appears to be the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area.

In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”.

International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.

    I didnt vote you idiot. I cant vote in american elections. Biden is not a genocidal white supremacist because he is neither committing a genocide nor for the subjugation of people of colour. Words have meanings.

    Biden is sending weapons to a genocidal maniac while telling him to stop the genocide. Which is stupid and a contradiction.

    With the other side doing the exact same it is not an excuse to handle the reigns to fascists
