80 percent of buildings in northern gaza are destroyed and 700000 figure is not any better, genocidal freaks 
article behind paywall, can't see it
800,000 [left]
Where did they go?
Didn't palastine/hamas start this war with a completely surprise invasion that gunned down 1200 people, including women and children?
Didn’t Israel/Europeans start this war by occupying Palestine and driving out nearly a million Palestinians then caging 2 million of them in a sliver of land?

History began on October 7th 2023, absolutely nothing happened before that day
Shut the fuck up
Did history begin in October of 2023? Opinions differ.
Quick question, do you think warsaw ghetto uprising against its lawful rulers was justified?
Additionally, 400 of them were idf members, which makes even such fucked up operation better than israel either by ratio to civilians or volume of death.
Isreal wasn't ruling over Palestine when they were attacked.
Why would Palestine/hamas invade a city in isreal and shoot everyone they could if they did not want this war? Palestine set the rules for this war. Surprise attack. Gun down everyone. After setting up the appearance of being in a truce.
Bro what? The guards at the world's largest open-air prison don't actually run the prison?
Israel’s sweeping restrictions on leaving Gaza deprive its more than two million residents of opportunities to better their lives, Human Rights Watch said today on the fifteenth anniversary of the 2007 closure. The closure has devastated the economy in Gaza, contributed to fragmentation of the Palestinian people, and forms part of Israeli authorities’ crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution against millions of Palestinians.
Israel’s closure policy blocks most Gaza residents from going to the West Bank, preventing professionals, artists, athletes, students, and others from pursuing opportunities within Palestine and from traveling abroad via Israel, restricting their rights to work and an education. Restrictive Egyptian policies at its Rafah crossing with Gaza, including unnecessary delays and mistreatment of travelers, have exacerbated the closure’s harm to human rights.
Israel maintains an illegal inhumane and internationally condemned blockade of Gaza. There is no “Palestine,” there are merely bantustans. You haven’t answered if you condemn the revolt of oppressed and imprisoned people yet
Oh my god open a fucking history book.
NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK
Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?
”The Israeli occupation of Palestine began in 1967 is the longest military occupation in modern history.”
Ah, so we go by establishing rules of war by precedent? Consider isnreal started its illustrious career of warcrimes by deir yassin massacre then.
And isntreal is ruling over palestine, mate, they control trade, they control calorie intake in gaza, they block their recognition as a state, they exploded airport and block maritime trafic for a long time now.
Go find a pit to die in
They didn't gun down everyone they could see. They conducted a highly planned military operation against the IDF. The vast majority of the 700 civilians were killed when the Israeli military opened fire on everything that moved. They used Apache helicopters to fire hellfire missiles and 30mm high explosive auto cannons and Merkava tanks to fire 120mm high explosive shells into groups of civilians.
The israelis quite literally did exactly what you accuse the resistance of.
So you seem to be in the age when elder millennials start losing cognitive curiosity and comprehension in favor of dogma and selective narrative seeking in favor of empiricism.
How do you dismiss accusations of genocide except for ignoring the evidence and associating accusers with caricatures of 2013 meme culture SJWs?
Revolutionary violence, when put against a settler-colonial state, is always self-defense, therefore justified.
Also, to answer your question, no. It started right after the fucking illegal creation of the state of "israel".
It started right after the fucking illegal creation of the state of "israel".
arguably before that even. colonial zionism is older than the nation-state
Likely yeah
How many of those do you think the IDF actually killed? They immediately buried the vehicles from the rave a mile outside of the largest open air prison in the world, because as everyone knows machine guns cause cars to explode and catch fire like in an action movie and not with hellfire missiles from a helicopter.
look at the big brain on mr. history understander over here
No, Zionists started this by being land-stealing settler colonists that put Palestinians into ghettos as part of an apartheid system. Decades of disposession, abuse, disablement, murder. Far, far higher numbers than you cite.
If you think that the equation is as simple as the number of dead women and children then you should be on the side of Palestine.
They did not. Israel has been doing this genocidal colonizer shit since at least right after WWII.
Are you one of those dickheads that thinks there is no other history behind this conflict and that it only started on Oct 7th?
It is occupied and stolen land that belongs to Palestine. They are fighting for liberation against an occupation that has them trapped in a 25 x 4 mile long open air prison with a complete blockade against it.
Exercise some fucking thought and intellectual curiosity for once in your fucking life.
i wish they'd killed you as well
Here's the secret:
- It didn't. It is a resistence of an occupied people against a occupation force. It's ongoing since 1948, with Israel having started large scale ethnic cleansing and massacres the year prior.
- Hamas and its allies did targeted strikes at military installations sorrounding Gaza (I wonder why those exist, hmmmm), Israel placed said installations next to civilian settlements.
- Per current information, the number killed by hamas et all is at around 600. Almost entirely military and security forces.
- Israel, gunned down the rest with helicopters and tanks. Clear evidence are the mountains of burned cars shown after the event. The Hamas fighters were lightly armed and had nowhere near the firepower to do so much damage.
You're either the dumbest person alive or you're isreali and soaked in so much propaganda that you're functionally a toddler
Shut the fuck up, moron
