Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

Not many people in Gaza today were alive in the 1960s. Citing history about what is going on right now isn't very useful. Both sides can point to historical events that make the other side wrong.
It's the most densely populated area in the world for a reason. I mean, if people are going to say things don't happen in a vacuum.
How is someone in Northern Gaza right now supposed to get to southern Gaza?
It's unfortunate not all were able to move. They should have started 10+ days ago. Some certainly did, but some deliberately stayed knowing the risks.
Also, Southern Gaza isn't safe from air strikes, so going there won't necessarily make them safe.
True. Safer than the north, but that's relative.
It is a cop out for Kirby to suggest that the reason there are people in Northern Gaza is because Hamas is using them as human shields. Hamas might be counting on them being human shields, but Hamas isn't forcing them to stay. The people don't really have any other option.
Hamas isnt helping them leave either. If they were serious, they'd help those peole leave. But no, they'd rather have their "shields".
Hamas and Israel are both treating the people in Gaza like human shields.
Maybe, but Hamas declared war. They have hundreds of hostages. They're embedded throughout civilian infrastructure. It's going to be a mess regardless until Hamas returns hostages and relinquishes their power to Palestinians.
