Israel will continue its new offensive in Gaza until Hamas releases all hostages and “all threats to residents of the south [of Israel] are removed”, the country’s defence minister said on Tuesday, raising the prospect of many weeks or even months of war in the devastated Palestinian territory.
“Hamas must understand that the rules of the game have changed,” Israel Katz told reporters during a visit to an airbase, adding that “the gates of hell will open and it will face the full might of the IDF in the air, at sea and on land” if remaining hostages were not freed.
The threat came after Israel launched a wave of airstrikes that killed more than 400 people, shattering the pause in hostilities since mid-January in Gaza in the bloodiest single day of violence since the first months of the war in 2023.
The zios are going to release their thousands of hostages? Mostly women and children? Being kidnapped, tortured, and SA’d?
Seriously tho. Fuck this imperial framing.
Now hold on, didn’t Hamas offer to let another hostage go a week or so ago and Israel refused?
Fuck Israel. Glad I can finally say this without fear of getting banned.
Have you seen the videos?
Israelie Soldiers collecting stuffed animals from the children they killed, treating them as trophies.
Videos of them posing on TikTok with lingerie taken from destroyed civilian homes.
Shooting randomly at houses during a ceasefire because they were bored.
Laughing as they pointed out bullet holes in a preschool, joking about the children who died there.
Tell me again this war is about “ending Hamas” and not something far darker.
Have you seen the guards raping the male prisoner and rhen members of their parliament arguing that raping Palestinians is great and Israelis rioting at the prison demanding to be let in to rape the Palestinians?
Or the Israeli kids making those prank phone calls, where they pose as people wanting donations to help victims from Israeli offensives. They make it, because adults usually rant a lot, along the lines “they are animals, fuck them, etc.”
They also post this on TikTok.
The whole society is numb to the suffering.
Fuck israel
Come the fuck on Guardian you just lopped off the bad half of that statement. Israel says new Gaza offensive will continue until all hostages released and all threats to residents of the south [of Israel] are removed.
Sounds an awful lot like they’re describing some ethnic cleansing with extra steps, and a fig leaf over it so it doesn’t look quite so bad at first glance, and it looks extremely bad at first glance.
