Do you realise the people of Gaza are all trapped with no escape?

In most situations when one force is bombing a city, such as in Syria, most civilians are able to flee away from the city and become refugees. That is bad enough, but Gaza is cut off from the rest of the world by Israel's blockade. Even the border crossing into Egypt is closed, so the people waiting there with foreign passports are trapped as well.

For israel it is like shooting fish in a barrel, except that those are human beings: fathers, mothers and children being slaughtered by Israel in order to destroy the alliance between Hamas and Fatah and any hope of statehood for Palestine.

The murder of civilians is abhorrent generally, but when they are trapped already, does this not make Israel's actions one of the worst war crimes ever? And where is the compassion for these people? Why do more normal people not make their voices heard in opposition of the inaction by other governments and against the complicity of the US which is financing Israel and sending the weapons?

    To make room for the State of Israel, Zionist terrorists first had to clear out the previous residents. Many of them and their descendants were crowded into Gaza which is effectively a Zionist concentration camp. From time to time, the State of Israel has an attempt as a final solution. I wonder where they got these ideas from? (Hint, most Israelis are descended from German speaking Baltic Jews). We got rid of the Nazis in Germany. It's time we got rid of the rest of them.

    all of you people act like Hamas didn't know what he was getting into, he was fully aware of what Israel is capable of. I don't fully support Israel, but I sure as hell don't support Hamas either. where was all the talk about Gaza being so innocent 5 years ago, they've been firing missiles to Israel since the late 2000's

    yeah it's like a siege isn't it, with investments, breastworks, and saps all that sort of stuff, isn't life interesting? in the abstract, it must be awful for the people there, wonder what the israelis are up too, they must know this stuff is going to haunt them and be counterproductive.

    perhaps they've snapped and had enough, who knows..

    I wonder why their Muslim Arab brothers don't open the border???

    What is it about the Palestinians that nobody wants to help them???

    And the Gaza Strip is not one built up area......there are more rural parts people can escape to......!

    I know it is shocking how Egypt keeps its border closed to the terrorists in Gaza, no one wants these troublesome people bringing unrest and violence into their countries.
