As the talks hit a new roadblock, fierce battles between Palestinian resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces have raged inside the strip over the past day
Israel’s goal, since the very first day (and actually since long before Oct. 7, which just gave them the excuse they’d been waiting for) was and is to destroy enough infrastructure and kill enough Palestinians and cause enough hardship, disease and famine to terrorize the survivors into fleeing or submitting to direct Israeli rule and life as second class citizens under an apartheid government. They never intended to leave Gaza in the first place and that hasn’t changed.
Gee. whiz. I. sure. did. not. see. that. coming.
