    Serious question; How can Israel figure out who is Hamas and who is a civilian? Just kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out? That seems to be the plan.

      This is why Israel has been getting so much criticism that they try to deflect by crying “antisemitism”.

      Of course it also brings actual antisemites out of the woodwork, which they use as a tool to posture that all criticism is antisemitism (it’s not).

      Gassing would make it much harder for Israel’s Hasbara propagandists to sell the genocide to the West.

      Luckily chemical and especially biological weapons are hard to use without risk of collateral damage. Like with any chemical reaction, dilution is generally the solution, and there’s a whole bunch of air moving around.

      Plus most of the really effective gasses are horrific blistering agents, and I hope to think even the west would balk at seeing the results of that being done to children. But, that may be me being optimistic.

        They could build camps, with rooms to do it in, and even have a crematorium nearby for all the dead. Wonder why they haven’t thought of that.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The military’s announcement of the new battle zone threatens further destruction in a war that Israel says will last for “many months” as it vows to crush the ruling Hamas militant group after its Oct. 7 attack.

    Israeli forces have been engaged in heavy urban fighting in northern Gaza and the southern city of Khan Younis, driving Palestinians into ever-smaller areas in search of refuge.

    Despite U.S. calls for Israel to curb civilian casualties and international pressure for a cease-fire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military was deepening the fighting.

    Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel faces a “multi-arena war” on seven fronts — Gaza and the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Iran.

    President Joe Biden and Qatar’s ruling emir, Amir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani, spoke on Tuesday, discussing the urgent effort to secure the release of all remaining hostages held by Hamas, including American citizens.

    At the Kerem Shalom border crossing, U.N. and Gazan medical workers unloaded a truck carrying about 80 unidentified bodies that had been held by Israeli forces in northern Gaza.
