I don't know how this will do anything but result in another attack. Making people that desperate is not a solution that will work well. Plus, my fellow Jews should know better than intentionally starving desperate people.
I have a feeling that was the plan all along
Intentionally antagonize the Palestinians that's already been antagonized for decades .... push them over the edge to make them make the first move.
Then once the first move is made .... move in and completely annihilate them under the guise of justified retaliation.
When it comes to one of the most well organized, well trained, well funded militaries and intelligence organizations in the world .... I don't think anyone can surprise them with a major attack.
The Israelis knew this would happen .... because they know how they will respond.
Thousands injured, almost a thousand murdered and hundreds kidnapped including women and children sounds like "the plan" to you?
I'm not saying they're saints but how can you say a country would go to war as a PR move just to see their already antagonized enemies suffer?
This attack was planned for about a year with the help of Iran on a shabbat, alongside a rocket barrage to keep soldiers from mobilizing and joining in to help, but you honestly believe Israel were the ones who planned this.
Israel has been executing their apartheid plan for 80 years.
Palestinian attack as justification for massive Israeli reprisal has been part of their plan for nearly as long.
his attack was planned for about a year with the help of Iran
There has been no evidence of Iran helping to plan the attack. That's a fake news story that is going around.
Always be sure to capitalise on a crisis.
It's not a traditional plan where everything is controlled.
It's an orchestrated set of circumstances where you place your opponent in a difficult situation and force them to make the first move.
Then when your opponent makes the first move, you can carry out what you want without being blamed for starting anything.
America did it in 2001, and Israel is at least as morally bankrupt as the US.
Of course you believe in such conspiracy theories.
The idea that the guys in government in Israel care for the lives of a few thousand people is as funny as it gets.
I mean weren't Israelis recently demonstrating because these very same people wanted to destroy the independence of the Judiciary, which is required for it to function as a Pillar of Democracy, so in effect wanted to undermine Democracy and spread autocracy in Israel from a problem only of people with Arab Citizenship to people with Jewish Citizenship (yeah, Israel, uniquelly amongst "democracies" has a concept of citizenship with associated rights which is separate from nationality).
You can't seriously belive such people care for a few thousand lives, no mater their nationality, especially if their deaths can be turned into a way to hold on to power and escape Justice (how's Bibi process going?).
I mean, even if they just had a general retaliation plan in case this ever happened...it is hard to believe Israel, with all its Western support, didn't see this coming. And they have been bombing Gaza indescriminatly for years, with the only justification being "Well, Hamas was there, probably..."
starving Palestinians out like this, will force them into the desperate move attacking Israel. Israel can therefore declare them as terrorists and shoot them indiscriminately.  I hope that I’m wrong and this isn’t a tactical decision
The Egyptian border is still open. Food can still get in.
It is currently closed because of an Israeli air strike. Might open again tomorrow. Or it might be bombed again.
Exactly, what did they think they'll achieve but even more resentment and hate?
I honestly don't know, but Neteyahu is one of the most evil people in the 21st century, so I have very little hope for the innocent Palestinians caught in the middle of this.
Some people are bandying about some statistic out there of a majority of Palestinians approving of Hamas. First of all, that was before this happened, and secondly, approval is not the same as aid. The vast majority of them had nothing to do with this and are caught in the middle. Now at least 500 are dead in this current conflict.
Not just Palestinians, innocent Israelis are going to die from these decisions. I was following the judiciary saga in Israel a little, and I hope Israelis will eventually win the fight against this tyrant wannabe.
I don't follow their politics closely, but I still can't believe Netanyahu clawed his way back into power after basically everyone else in government, even fellow hard right-wingers, banded up to oust him. That, plus him having faced all those corruption charges. Wtf is up with politics in Israel that allowed him to claw his way back in so quickly like some sort of alien parasite?
It's very politically divided, and almost impossible to form a coalition. You can just look at their history to see as much. It's a government built on the coalition of fascists, liberals, and socialists. Very diverse in thought.
Since the Likud was the only one that could prove it could form a government...
I mean it's very politically divided, but in terms of securing Israel, most opposition leaders called 9ff protests and united behind Netanyahu since there are still Hamas militants in Israel.
They expect to get the hostages back.
The intent is to make it impossible for there to be another attack.
