As intense Israeli bombardment of Gaza and fighting with Palestinian armed groups continued to impede aid operations, reports on the ground of children begging for water and people cutting down telephone poles for firewood indicated that “society is about to break down”, UN humanitarians said on Friday.
There’s a bit of comment in your anti semitism
You could actually state where I’m wrong (hint: I only stated proven historical facts).
Ya got the date wrong. Nakba happened in 1948 when multiple Arabic nations declared war on Israel after they announced their independence.
Setting aside the legitimacy of Israel as a state, why does that mean they get to ethnically cleanse half the Palestinian population?
Where in my comment did I say that lol
That’s the implication, at least. Because “they declared war first so they deserved it” is a popular position among Zionists.
If that’s not what you meant, then while the war was declared in 1948, the Nakba started in earnest when Israel started beating back the Arab states in 1949.
If you declare war and lose, you can’t just go “lol oopsie we didn’t really mean it” and expect nothing to happen. When has the loser in any war not experienced repercussions?
Usually we expect the civilians not to get ethnically cleansed, but oh well.
