There was little shelter and barely any services in al-Mawasi when the Abu Hatab family arrived seeking sanctuary from the intensifying bombardment around their homes in Khan Yunis.
But al-Mawasi was the one place they had been told they would be safe. From early November Israel urged the civilian population of Gaza evacuate to the narrow, sandy coastal strip the size of Heathrow airport.
On Wednesday night, the bombardment followed them to the so-called safe zone, when shelling rained down on their flimsy tents as they slept.
“They dropped leaflets and told us to come here, that this was truly the one safe place,” Bahaa Abu Hatab, one of the survivors said. “My brother took his children to protect them from the occupation’s missiles, but here they were martyred anyway, in this ‘safe’ place, in the tent that my brother set up in this field.”
At least 14 Palestinians, including nine children, were killed in strikes on al-Mawasi early on Thursday, according to the Hamas-run ministry of health in Gaza.

Either one of two things will come out of this
The world becomes even more frustrated with Israel and it’s genocidal war
Or the world becomes ever more numb and indifferent to something so blatant that it no longer matters.
This war isn’t being continued by an aggressor … it continues by our collective indifference and ignorance.
We need to hold our leaders accountable to all this … if they aren’t speaking out to end the violence, then they are condoning it all in our name.
Judging by how the international community has dealt with genocides in general, I doubt anything serious will happen. Just the occasional contentious statements like Turkey and Armenians.
A group of people claiming that they have some divine or superior right to land while exterminating those who don’t believe in what they believe in. Rounding up people and putting them into camps only to kill them anyway. Exterminating hostages. Committing untold war crimes and crimes against humanity. Separating civilians based off of religious beliefs and punishing them because they do not line up with yours. Creating giant open air prisons where people are expected to live out the rest of their lives and where they’re killed for the slightest provocation. A military force that is using any reason it can, all weak as hell, to continue to murder people who had already surrendered.
Likud is another word for Nazi. The Israeli Government copied their papers and changed Aryan to Jewish and then used it as a fucking framework.

Is this Hamas?
Better non-paywalled. Archive.ph to the rescue.
Thanks, couldn’t remember that one.
I appreciate the effort, but this version ends with…
took his children to protect them from the occupation’s missiles, but
But what?
here they were martyred anyway, in this ‘safe’ place, in the tent that my brother set up in this field."

This is why I don’t understand why Hamas doesn’t just release the hostages and surrender their leaders. It would be the best strategic move. If Israel continues to attack then they lose all pretence of fighting terrorism. If Israel stops then it saves Palestinian lives.
Does Hamas still think that they’ll win?
They lost that pretence fairly fucking quickly saying they want to “eliminate everything”, " reduce Gaza to a city of tents", referencing Amalek, calling for Palestinians to be buried alive.
If Hamas released all the hostages, Israel wouldn’t stop.

So is the IDF Amalek in this case, killing all the women, children, and elderly by targeting the civilian safe areas?
The next generation will be even worse than hamas. And they will be called terrorists too. And then the next generation of israelis will ask themselves how they became the way they are. Point at today just like we point at history while everyone plays ignorant.
The leaders of Hamas aren’t in Gaza and they never have been, so they really don’t care or have any intention of surrendering. Furthermore, Hamas wasn’t the only one involved in the kidnappings. A dozen other unrelated groups also kidnapped people on October 7th and Hamas has no control or knowledge of the whereabouts of those individuals.
Surrender and just continue living under the Israeli boot? Surrender and become like the West Bank that’s slowly getting genocided?
Take a look at what’s happening in IDF-occupied parts of Gaza, then say that again.
Also Israel won’t continue if Hamas surrenders… simply because they won’t need to. There’ll be nobody to prevent them from turning Gaza into Lebensraum.
any verification to this? sounds hard to believe. that would be a very bad strategic move from idf, so why would they do it
Um…the IDF has been actively bombing all the refugee camps and safe zones they’ve been telling everyone to go to for weeks,
Have you not been hearing about any of that?
Because they’re commiting ethnic cleansing. They want the land and they don’t care if they have to murder every Palestinian on it to get the land.
If you’ve been following it all, this is not even close to the first time this has happened. During this entire conflict there has been the poorest communication about where safe areas are, and when the refugees make it to that “safe place” more bombs are dropped in their heads. The Israeli state has it out for these people and they will not stop until they are all dead. The attack on Oct. 7th was nothing but a complete and total failure on the IDFs part and now they’re going to make damn sure this doesn’t happen again, even if they commit the same atrocities that led the Jewish people to this new home not a century later. Disgusting.
Edit. There > they’re
even if they commit the same atrocities that led the Jewish people to this new home not a century later.
Slight correction: They committed those atrocities exactly 4 years after Nazi Germany fell. This is the continuation of that.
Irgun was a Zionist paramilitary organization operation working in Palestine before Nazi Germany started.
The Zionist movement began in the late 1800s trying to make a Jewish state where there already was a land with Jewish, Muslim, and Christian people living in peace.
They have been bombing tent camps since October. Why would they do it? Because they literally don’t care, they wear Antisemitism as a shield.
South Africa (a neutral third party) has submitted a very detailed accusation of genocide to the International Court of Justice. These news would be in line with that accusation. So I have no idea why you find this hard to believe.
Seriously? You’re really trying hard to ignore everything about this. This isn’t surprising at all, it’s completely expected. It’s also deeply fucked up, which is why your willful ignorance is so disturbing.
Uh… The Gaza Health Ministry is verification. The whole world concedes that their numbers are accurate.
