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.”

    If this does go bad (worse) I hope that the international community condems both sides, they need to be encouraged (if not forced) to find a peacefull solution.

    They never criticize Israel even for its most extreme actions. Right now they seem to be eagerly queueing up to support Israel’s siege and attacks on Gaza and send more weapons, no matter how many civilians it kills. So it’s hard to be hopeful that international politicians will hold Israel to a measured response.

    I guess I need to add: this is not an expression of support for Hamas and their brutal killings. It shouldn’t need to be said, but this is the internet.
