Hamas has called on Palestinians to stay in their homes after Israel issued sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s more than 2.3 million people ahead of an expected ground offensive.
The Hamas authority for refugee affairs today told residents in the north of the territory to “remain steadfast in your homes and to stand firm in the face of this disgusting psychological war waged by the occupation”.
Hamas is telling them not to even try. Not because it is logistically challenging, but because they want more Palestinian deaths. That’s inhumane.
I am not defending the atrocities of Hamas, but what Israel is systematically doing with Palestinians isn’t exactly a role model.
I agree that they should try, that wasn’t the part I was commenting on
