    Israel literally told Gazans to go to Rafah to be safe. They said it was a safe zone.

    Now they’re supposed to leave Rafah.

    You might ask where Israel thinks Gazans are supposed to go. The answer is- nowhere. They’re supposed to die.

      Israel literally told Gazans to go to Rafah to be safe. They said it was a safe zone.

      And the IDF was operating elsewhere, not entering Rafah at the time.

      Now they’re supposed to leave Rafah.

      Yes, that’s how it works. It’s like how sometimes during road construction, the construction crew might route you into a different traffic lane. Doesn’t mean that lane will remain safe to drive on forever.

      You might ask where Israel thinks Gazans are supposed to go. The answer is- nowhere. They’re supposed to die.

      Now this is just plain false, since it doesn’t look like you actually bothered reading any details about it. Israel did in fact tell them where to go.

        And then Israel will bomb where it told them to go just like it bombed Rafah after telling them to go there. Or is that just Hamas propaganda?

          Terrorist group Hamas is shooting rockets from there, so of course Israel isn’t going to ignore it completely. If Hamas stopped hiding behind civilians, the entire area would have been left alone.

              I never said Hamas was not in Rafah. In fact that’s the opposite of what I said. I did say it was designated a safe zone. Now they’re moving the safe zone to a new area and the people with it.

                  Because Hamas terrorists are firing rockets out of it. Could you explain to me why they’re doing that and risking the their own citizens there?

      Israel is the gun pointed at Egypt’s head over the Suez Canal. For all the bullshit Netanyahu is pulling, too many Europeans learned all the wrong lessons from the Nasser coup and assume a “Greater Israel”

      is necessary to maintain commerce between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.

        Egypt is fully under American control already.

        Sisi is a puppet that receives billions each year from both America and Europe to surpress his population and kneel for israel. Recently he got another 8 Billion IMF bribe.

        I don’t think there’s any strategy involved in the support of israel other than israel fully owning the majority of politicians.

          Egypt is fully under American control already.

          I’d say its not, as evidenced by the ousting of Hosni Mubarak in 2011. The US doesn’t even have a military base in Egypt. The closest we’ve got are in Etrea and Tripoli, with our West African bases getting squeezed out by the recent wave of military coups. Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are fundamental to our control of the region.

          I don’t think there’s any strategy involved in the support of israel

          Think harder.

            Why are we getting “squeezed” out of Egypt and Jordan?..

            Because of israel.

            We fully control the others yet israel is a rabid attack dog. It’s the worst of both worlds. We have to obey them instead of the other way around.
