Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.
“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.
Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.
But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.
Hamas is a spreading cancer and palestinian civilians are the (still) healthy cells. Do we have means of removing the cancer without damaging the healthy cells? It doesn’t seem like we do. But the solution cannot be to just let the cancer be, almost everything is a better choice than that.
ok, so you wholeheartedly support the Nazis idea of the “volkskörper”.
it’s somewhat ironic that Israel has convinced the world that it represents all Jews, but has also taken up the rest of the Nazi bullshit and people repeat it continuously (because the idea that a nation represents all people of X group is already blood and soil logic), I guess this is what happens when you have Nationalists and “X power party” in charge.
Well no. If I had called palestinians the cancer of Israel, then my comment would’ve been disgusting bigotry at the level of the original nazis, but I was referring to only Hamas as being cancerous.
no, you justified Palestinians needing to be killed because the caner of Hamas is growing in them
I worry that you think cancer is cured by killing its host.
so first off, what do you think chemotherapy is? secondly, when we remove a tumor surgically we take all the surrounding healthy tissue around it out as well, and how do we differentiate the “healthy” and “cancerous” humans?
there is a Reason why we rightfully despise the people who use body-politic or “volkskörper” rhetoric, because once you get right down to it, it’s always genocide and murder as an answer.
Ironic that you would use the ideological understanding of groups of people from the Nazis to defend the current genocide (and yes it’s a genocide)
We do, actually! You should read up on immunotherapy. It’s not for everyone, but it works in many cases.
The metaphor holds up, too. With sufficient time and effort, you can make things work.
