The Israeli army controls over 77% of the Gaza Strip, local authorities said on Sunday, Anadolu reports.

“Field data and verified analysis indicate that the Israeli occupation forces now effectively control approximately 77% of Gaza’s total geographic area,” Gaza’s government media office said in a statement.

The Israeli army gained control through “direct ground offensives, the deployment of its forces in residential and civilian areas, or preventing Palestinians from accessing their areas, lands, and properties via intensified fire, or forced evacuation,” it added.

The office strongly condemned the Israeli plans of mass displacement, ethnic cleansing, systematic genocide, and settler colonialism by force, “under the cover of a siege and an open war targeting both people and infrastructure.”

It held Israel and its supporters, including the US, UK, Germany, and France, fully responsible for the crime of genocide in Gaza.

Arab and Muslim welcomed jews many time like the ottoman accepted many jews following the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492. During the first Eliyah Arab businesses let jews from Yemen to work for them, Arabs and jews was also going to each other festivals. Things got bad when Zionists exposed the plan to force a state on local people

While it was wrong and a terrible idea, Arab countries kicking out jews from them countries was a response to Zionists mass displacing hundred thousands of people

When some politicians side with Nazis other sided with British and fought Nazi Germany

Israel occupied Gaza and the west bank in 67, Israel definitely started that war by the admission of the former prime minister Menachem Begin

The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him

Don't colonize people and expect the colonized to not retaliate. It's the only solution to the conflict

to say that some politicians sided with the british/allies is to completely sweep under the rug how massively one sided arab support was, and honestly, remains to this day, in favor of the nazis.

you need go no further in your explanation, because that right there, shows me you are not debating in good faith.

I will add though, the Jews that were in the region prior to 1948, were there legally. They did not steal their land. It was obtained legally and not through forceful colonization. But there is a long ass history of violence and hate toward jews, well before 1948... and really long even before the 1900s. The jews had to pay a special tax just for being jewish in the ottoman empire. In 1937 the arabs were offered the clear majority of the region -- they rejected it because they simply did not want jews in the region. Period. They wanted all of the land. After that, they allied themselves with the nazis. In 1948 they were offered 45% of the land, and damn thats fucking generous considering they had just allied themselves with hitler.

And if there are any questions as to why the jews wanted their own state, look up stuff like the Hebron Massacre, or the Nebi Musa riots. In 1947 there were many instances of violence targeting jews. Violence toward jews was widespread and intense in the region. The war of independence was a reaction to this.

Jordan sided with the allies , Egypt sided with the allies ,Iraq sided with the allies expect a very short time where Rashid Ali al-Gaylani took control, all the Arab speaking countries except Libya sided with the allies. 12k to 19k Palestinians volunteered to fight the Nazis while there is no data about Palestinians soldiers siding with the axis.

Get your evil propaganda out of lemmy

and Hajj Amin al-Husseini sided with hitler. The most prominant arab leader in mandatory palastine.

this comes off like people saying Gazans don't support hamas. Yet, when on oct 7 they paraded jewish hostages through the streets, huge numbers of civilians were shown cheering them on.

Still most leaders sided with the allies like i already mentioned you won't be able to deflect from this

Israel and Zionists committed dozens of 7 of October like events in the past like the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre . Israelis been saying death to Arabs every years

Your aljazeera source with hamas sourced numbers is the misinfo.

Hamas is not only its armed wing. It is the entire government in Gaza. Its numbers have historically been considered reliable by the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Human Rights Watch. In relation to the Gaza war, two letters published in The Lancet journal did not find evidence of inflation or fabrication of Palestinian casualty numbers. There is no reason to cast doubt on their estimates than to deny that Israel is committing a genocide.

Andrew Fox is a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society. He served for 16 years in the British Army, leaving the Parachute Regiment with the rank of Major. He completed 3 tours in Afghanistan including one attached to US Army Special Forces, as well as further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland and the Middle East.

The Henry Jackson Society is a trans-Atlantic foreign policy and national security think tank, based in the United Kingdom. While describing itself as non- partisan, its outlook has been described variously as right-wing, neoliberal, and neoconservative.

This is your source?? A fucking British soldier that has made a living occupying Ireland and running around shooting at Arabs????? Writing at the behest of a right wing think tank??????????

The rest of this is racist Zionist slop that I shouldn't even justify with a response, because even if it was a completely honest portrayal it would not justify genocide, but to start; Palestinians cannot be held responsible for actions that other arab nations took after 1948 (in response to the horrific acts committed during the nakba, but that nonetheless does not justify it) or the antisemitism that was in large part purposefully fomented in those nations by Israel to advance the Zionist mission. The intention of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine has been made clear since Zionism first emerged in the late 19th century. The mass transfer of Jews to historic palestine and the ensuing displacement of Palestinians started before even 1933, which is when the Haavara agreement was signed between Nazis and Zionist collaborators. It has never been about "self defense" and that is a fucking shameful way to justify the violent expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their home land.

You have an agenda and no amount of logic will ever change it.

Back at you.

Get the fuck out of here you disgusting fucking Zionist.

the bias is strong with this one.

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yes, I am proudly biased against groups that commit genocide before our eyes and deny it, dispossess indigenous peoples of their ancestral homes and turn them into refugees in foreign lands, along with fascist ideologies which call for the establishment and maintenance of an ethnostate and sheepishly justify Nazi collaboration and ethnic cleansing as a means to that end. Stay as mad at that as you like and have the day you deserve.

and to the mod who removed my post for misinfo, yeah this post

Removed Comment - reason: Misinformation. “Palestinian population is rising in Gaza”. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/1/gaza-population-falls-6-percent-since-start-of-war-statistics-agency-says First, the palistinian population is actually rising in Gaza. Second, look at the middle east man. how many jews have been killed there? every other country outside of israel, the jewish population has been nearly completely eradicated. does that not count as ethnic cleansing to you? october 7th happens and then you blame Israelis for defending themselves. Hamas wanted a war. It got a war. Before 1948, there were pogroms all over the region. During WWII arab politicians literally allied with themselves with the nazis. And you ask why Nakba aka The War of Independence happened. It was self defense. It’s always been self defense. pointless argument though. You have an agenda and no amount of logic will ever change it.

This is not misinfo. Your aljazeera source with hamas sourced numbers is the misinfo. really gotta stop sourcing numbers from the hamas run palistinian ministry of health. and yes, the palistinian central bureau of statistics sourced numbers from the ministry of health, says it right in the article.

my source for the ministry of health being unreliable: https://henryjacksonsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/HJS-Questionable-Counting-%E2%80%93-Hamas-Report-web-v2.pdf

i get that you don’t like what i’m saying but i’m not the one ignoring facts here.
