Israel’s relentless bombardment destroyed over 70% of Gaza homes
Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza for nearly three months has destroyed 70 percent of the homes in the besieged Palestinian enclave, according to the Government Media Office.
No further details were provided but an earlier report said more than 200 heritage and archaeological sites were destroyed in the Israeli bombardment considered the most destructive in modern history.
About 300,000 out of 439,000 homes have been destroyed in Israeli attacks, a Wall Street Journal report said. Analysing satellite imagery, the report added that the 29,000 bombs dropped on the strip have targeted residential areas, Byzantine churches, hospitals and shopping malls and all civilian infrastructure has been damaged to an extent that they cannot be repaired.
“The word ‘Gaza’ is going to go down in history along with Dresden [Germany] and other famous cities that have been bombed,” Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago who has written about the history of aerial bombing, told WSJ.
They're going to remove Hamas, either the easy way or the hard way.
And by hard you mean the genocide way.
No, Palestinians will still exist after Hamas is gone.
We had the holocaust and Jewish people still exist, are you denying that genocide as well? A genocide doesn't have to be a success to be a genocide.
Removing Hamas is not a genocide, and Palestinians will still exist after Hamas is successfully removed.
The only way to do that is by ending the occupation
You're seeing the way they can do it
It's clear that living next to Hamas is unacceptable to Israelis.
Yes, so Israelis should relocate and dismantle the Israeli state. The comment you replied to meant the only way to remove Hamas is to end Israeli occupation of Palestine. Wouldn't Israeli people be safer in say, Florida or anywhere else than where they are?
Well thats just delusional
Living next to the ANC was unacceptable to South Africans too. Same with IRA next to British people. But a peace deal was made.
What peace deal do you think Hamas would accept?
Hamas has said since 2004 they are willing to accept a two state solution, and a long term peace, but not one where Israel continues to bomb them or try stealing more land. They’re hardliners but so is Likud.

I think you should research more about Hamas positions.
I’m very familiar with their positions despite the poorly-managed edit wars on Wikipedia. They are undoubtedly hardline but so is Likud. Hamas has been calling for a two state solution since 2004 (which they called “a divorce” from the Jews) and even updated their charter in 2017 to reflect that new reality. If all you know about them is Wikipedia then I’m sorry for you.
They're going to remove Palestine. Whether Hamas still exists afterward will be irrelevant, except maybe to serve as some nightmare boogeyman that Israel's leadership can use to justify literally anything.
Israel could already have Gaza if they really cared to.
