Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.

“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.

Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.

But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.

        I sometimes wish I could be this disconnected from reality or empathy, or perhaps both. It would likely suck for everyone around me, so, I guess I’ll suffer through.

            Aren’t you saying that you wish Israel could hurry up its process of killing 2.2 million people of which half being children?

            What is the limit of this “quick success” you are hoping for?

                It’s a de-facto open air prison, which they have cut off fuel supply to, and now designated about half of it an “evacuation zone”. They destroy on average 12 buildings per hour. They’ve killed 4.4k children since October 7th. What… Exactly do you think is going on there? The defense minister of Israel also said they want to install a new “security regime” in Gaza.

                It doesn’t take a lot of datapoints over the last 75 years to see where this is going.

                Watching and hoping them quick success

                When you say you hope for quick success in the ethnic cleansing, people are going to interpret that as you hoping for quick success in the ethnic cleansing

        You realise Hamas is like 30 years old and started as a charity backed by Israel? They then seized power after killing their rivals.

        Should we murder Innocent chinese people because of the communist party? Wipe them off the earth, demolish their cities and Culture?

            “As a libertarian” is not the way to start an opinion if you want to be taken seriously.

                If we had a forced and honest age & intellect number by each username, the numbers you’d most commonly see are 13-23 and 80-110.

                Don’t worry, you’re talking with teenagers and college freshmen that know everything on every topic. They can’t name 3 aspects of an ideology they claim to represent but that’s besides the point. ChatGPT will hallocunate it for them so we can get even more chuckles.

            well, considering you are a libertarian, you don’t have a good track record of understanding reality

                look, I can’t help that it’s an economic ideology based mainly on a few works of fiction that involve “the parasites are the only thing preventing the Übermensch of creating a pepetomobile”

                    libertarianism is mostly based on economic objectivism.

                    It’s like socialists and socioeconomics.

                    the primary difference being one based on a dialectic analysis of how economics function, leading to what we consider modern economic theory, and the other based on the fantasies of a deeply traumatized woman.
