Israel bombarded the ruins of Gaza City with leaflets on Tuesday which warned the Palestinian civilians and Hamas terrorists to vacate the area to avoid the obliteration-phase of the war against Hamas. The Jewish State approved a Gaza takeover plan on August 8, setting the stage of Tuesday’s events.
The airdropped leaflets with evacuation orders rained down on residents who were standing amongst the rubble of the already-destroyed Gaza City.
According to Reuters, some residents said there is no safe place for them to go.
“Some said they would have no choice but to leave for the south, but many said they would stay and there were no immediate signs of a mass exodus,” Reuters said.
“There’s no place left, not in the south, nor the north, nothing. We’ve become completely trapped,” said Bajess al-Khaldi, one of a group of displaced cancer patients housed in a tented area, as people looked on at the rubble of several buildings destroyed in an Israeli attack.
Displacement is a profound issue for Palestinians who fear that Netanyahu and his far-right allies in government want a repeat of the “Nakba”, or “catastrophe”, when hundreds of thousands of people fled or were driven out during the 1948 war that accompanied Israel’s creation.
Tucker Carlson recently interviewed Shahed Ghoreishi who said he was fired from President Donald Trump’s State Department for not repeating Israeli talking points, including the topic of forced relocation.
Shahed Ghoreishi says Mark Levin’s stepson got him fired from the State Department last month because he didn’t repeat Israeli talking points.

While the Jewish State claims it must obliterate what is left of Gaza City to fight Hamas, the act of warning civilians to evacuate will also warn Hamas to evacuate, thus making the military takeover little more than a forced relocation operation.
Israel has engaged in a total war strategy in Gaza using tactics such as shooting starving Palestinians to “guide” them to their food and snubbing Trump’s peace plan despite being aided in war by the U.S.

“Total war is mainly characterized by the lack of distinction between fighting lawful combatants and civilians. The purpose is to destroy the other contender’s resources so that they are unable to continue to wage war. This might include targeting major infrastructure and blocking access to water, internet, or imports (often through blockades),” ThoughtCo said.
