Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
But if it comes down to Biden vs. Trump again are those same Muslim Arabs really going to vote for the anti-Muslim Trump? Think longer term. Think beyond Trump. Think beyond this current war. Before 9/11, the GOP was making outreach to the Islamic community, viewing them as a counterweight to the D...

Bloomberg: Israel dropped new leaflets on Gaza City today, saying in part, "whoever chooses not to evacuate would likely be designated as a member of a terrorist organization."

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
In sum: be careful of drawing any long-term conclusions from the response to an event that has split the staunchest supporters of Israel outside of Israel itself down the middle . I'm used to hearing arguments at local Jewish events, the old saw "two Jews three opinions" has some truth to...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Yeah but that can change. Maybe in a decade or three Israel's allies will be less willing or able to have their back, and that could get bad for them if they also can't whoop all their neighbors on their own anymore. You've won. :P You just don't know it yet. https://www.npr.org/2023/10/13/12056270...

Can we try not to get this thread locked again for IvP bullshit, when clearly there are happenings occurring?

One theory is that they weren't expecting to do so well; they thought they'd get a few hostages, kill a couple of people than maybe use the hostages to negotiate.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
If Israel does not withdraw but instead seizes the land, it will be beyond any argument an act of forced population transfer, extermination, and the appropriation, destruction, and pillage of property.
