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.
A complete (=utopistic) success would be Hamas being completely destroyed and islamistic extremism discouraged generally. It’s not a great fit because of all kinds of differences of these conflicts, but how the Nazis were deposed at the end of WW2 is a great model for how to eradicate fascists.
Israel is pretty fucking fascist though, what’s should be done to deal with Israel?

Good post!
I think the best thing would be to cut Israel off. It might feel good and self righteous to take side with either Palestine or Israel and say “fight the fascists!”, but fascists infight all the time, you can be fighting fascists and still be just another flavor of fascist (Soviet ultra-nationalists please take note).
Cut them both off, maybe even impose economic sanctions until a ceasefire is achieved. I value respecting the sovereignty of nations and not getting too involved, but I think sanctions is a relatively ethical way to influence without making it too personal.
