I/P This demand by Israel is nuts. [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-10-13  

Israel has demanded that 1.1 million Palestinians evacuate areas of Gaza north of the Wadi Gaza within 24 hours. [Roughly 1/3 of the Gazan land area and the most densely populated]

How?

Even in the best of circumstances, this would be nigh on impossible but with the destruction of the last few days is a crazy demand. How do you evacuate the hospitals in time [WHO affirms that this is impossible]? The elderly? The Infirm?

Where do they go? There are already over 400,000 internal refugees. [Note: Everyone in Gaza is a refugee after the events of 1948]

With severely reduced power, water, food, or infrastructure how do you deal with the excess sewage?

The UN has asked/demanded that Israel rescind this order. Since when has Israel complied with UN requests/demands/resolutions?

There are over 500 Americans in Gaza, unfortunately, they have Palestinian associated with their citizenship. Therefore no one cares in our government?

Is this kettling on an unprecedented scale? The Palestinians in the West Bank have already been kettled in small pockets.

What is the end game here?

If this occurs surely it is a war crime?
