21. Especially when it's domicide in aid of ethnic cleansing.
Sun Jul 20, 2025, 05:09 PM
Sunday

Entire neighbourhoods are being bulldozed by private contractors or with controlled demolitions. So that people can never go back. The only place for them will be the ultra-crowded concentration camp they can only leave if they agree to be "transferred".

But domicide has been going on since October 8, 2023. Using the "human shields" excuse (lie). It was clear to some of us back then that the goal was to destroy all of Gaza and make it unlivable so Palestinians would be forced to leave. In other words, ethnically cleanse themselves so they could live. It was a disgusting plan of ethic cleansing from the start.
