For a year I've heard people saying that this is a "complicated" situation, and it's never been complicated at all

Israel Pursuing 'Surrender or Starve' Plan in North Gaza

Israel’s “surrender or starve” Gaza strategy may force evacuations, risk famine, and enable new settlements on Palestinian territory.

basic seige tactics, nothing has changed in hundreds of years of brutality🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm going to remain very skeptical of the "Surrender or Starve" framing until there's a clearly identifiable set of actions that Israel would accept as "surrender".

"surrender or starve" and also you aren't actually allowed to surrender

War crimes be complicated when commented by places that serve US interests I guess.

It's straightforwardly exactly what it looks like and always has been

no more "complicated" than any other situation involving oppression. life is complicated. everything is.

At this point, it's not even about the hostages. Netanyahu just wants a massacre. Wake up Israel!!!

So, if anybody still believes that freeing the hostages is still the actual reason for the current ongoing genocide. It should be a wakeup call to them that the plan Israel came up with to "free the hostages" is to starve the fighters holding (and feeding) the hostages.

People say "it's complicated" but what they really mean is "don't think about it". It's a thought ending phrase.
