Israel’s military has informed the United Nations that the entire population of northern Gaza should relocate to the southern half of the territory within 24 hours, the U.N. spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said late on Thursday night, adding that such a movement — involving over one million people — would lead to “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

They’re telling 1.1 Million people to move in 24hours in an area more dense than LA or London. In an area without power, fuel, or food.
Hurricane evaculations over days are a mess even with power, fuel, and food…
The chaos with the with the evacuations is that everybody’s driving in the same direction, and in Palestine, people don’t have any vehicles.
1million+ people on foot in a war zone all heading in one direction on war torn infrastructure will be a disaster even without cars.
Don’t forget that the shelling has already been going on for awhile now.
And all that assumes you’re actually physically capable of walking to the safe zone
Or fuel, remember, they don’t have water, food or electricity.
Yes, it’s the vehicles that are the problem and not a bunch of panicking people who don’t know where to go or what to do.
I’m sure threat of imminent death at the hands of people who think they’re baby-killers is probably not affecting them at all.
Come on man, use some critical thinking and context here. He clearly is not saying that cars some kind of an issue here. He was making an idle point about traffic jams in the US with hurricane evacuations and how that doesn’t apply in this situation. He’s not even making a value judgement on anything here.
They made a direct comparison. They placed blame on how vehicles are the main issue, and how Palestinians dont have them.
Maybe use some critical thinking skills yourself.
Who did? I was responding to someone who brought up that issue, so my response was related to their point and my comment was mostly intended to focused on how the lack of certain resources could negatively impact those who are dependent on those things.
Otoh, the the difference in travel modalities makes a big difference in what problems there are and my comparison to hurricane evacuations obviously lacked in that respect. It’s only natural someone would point out that limitation of my comparison.
They do actually! A journalist was talking about it on Radio-Canada earlier today, he’s visited twice since 2017 (having come back a couple of weeks ago) and noted the contrast between fairly recent cars and horse carts using the same streets!
True… probably actually a benefit that they don’t have cars as they’re less efficient than just walking. But for those who physically aren’t able to walk for hours straight (depending on how far they need to go), some alternative mobility is needed.
Fuck off with your anti car bullshit. This isn’t the time or place.
Flying off the handle because someone pointed out that cars aren’t universally useful? Don’t think it’s the time or place for that tbh.
Telling someone to fuck off isn’t flying off the handle.
Yeah so uh… a bunch of people are gonna die in 24h :(
They know it can’t be done and they don’t care. The rhetoric coming out of their government is pure genocide talk. One of the military guys got furious that anyone cared about Palestinian civilians.
I hope the US doesn’t support this or stay silent. We need to have the balls to stand up to allies when they’re in the wrong. The world said “not again” to the holocaust and now regularly looks the other way, and it’s time countries stop letting this shit happen.
Never again! Except for Tibetans, Uyghurs, First Nations in boarding schools/their forced sterilization, the Khmer Rouge, Pakistan/India/Bangladesh, North Korea, Rwanda, all the genocides by the Soviets, Bosnia…
Hundreds of millions of lives ended prematurely…
I agree with the overall sentiment, but some of these mentions are not accurate and imo devalues the importance of such important accusations (e.g. since when was NK genociding anyone?)
They run camps that are comparable to the Jewish camps during WW2, the only difference being that they’re doing it to themselves…
Evidence? Beyond “A guy said that a guy said that…”
