Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says he has ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip, as Israel fights the Hamas terror group.

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.

We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.

      So in your logic… what should be done to those messed up people who killed, raped and enslaved civilians?

        You changed your statement here

        In your previous comment, you wrote “they” as a whole population. Now you write “those who”, the more limited segment.

        But Israel doesn’t just punish the perpetrators here, do they?

        I’d be happy to answer, as long as we can talk also about how Israel appears to be gearing up for its own final solution to the Palestine problem.

          You are entangling in your political bs and now are trying to negotiate something. If you wanna answer, do it.

            That’s really rich, implicitly claiming that civilians are a valid target for one side, but not the other, and that this is somehow not a political distinction. But I’m happy to state it outright: Hamas needs to be held to account, as does the government of Israel. It is not acceptable to target civilians, for anybody. It is Israel doing so now, and must be stopped.

        There are no evidence any civilians were raped or are enslaved. Stop spreading disinformation.

        And I guess according to your logic, countless thousands more innocents should suffer or die because of the horrible actions of a few.

                It actually is your job if you’re trying to have a debate. You make the claim, you provide the evidence/source.

                    My twisted view of the world? There are rules to debating whether you like it or not. It’s clear you don’t want to actually debate and just want to criticize anyone who speaks against you. Perhaps take some time to understand why you hold the beliefs you do, and why others would hold the beliefs they do. Going around spouting your opinion without being able to back up why you have that opinion with sources will not win anyone to your side. Good luck IRL dude.

                so your job is to spread lies, propaganda and fake news, and support calls for genocide. Got it 👍
