“This time, the IDF intends to evacuate all residents of the Gaza Strip to a new ~~concentration camp~~ humanitarian zone that will be arranged for long-term stay, will be enclosed, and anyone entering it will first be checked to ensure they are not a terrorist. The IDF will not allow a rogue population to refuse evacuation this time. Anyone remaining outside the ~~concentration camp~~ humanitarian zone will be implicated. This plan has American backing.”

This plan has American backing.

As an American, i do not back this. That makes fuck-all difference, i realize. But please know this is not a policy many Americans voted for nor support. This is so unbelievably fucked up.

I don't think you could have voted for somebody else and not have the same events unfold in the exact same way they did in Israel.

Most of the governments of the Western world are backing it, unfortunately.

Of course not! But IU think it's clear that in this context it means it has the American government's backing.
