The United Nations, aid groups and public health experts expressed growing concerns Monday about humanitarian needs in Palestinian areas as Israel ratchets up a muscular military riposte and a lockdown of Gaza, after the weekend attack by Hamas militants who killed and kidnapped hundreds of civilians in Israel.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres led the clarion call, endeavoring to put the focus on civilians in both Israel and Gaza and renewing his condemnation of the fatalities and hostage-takings by Hamas. He also warned of the prospect of more innocent lives lost.
In a statement to reporters in New York, Guterres said that more than 137,000 people in Gaza — or about 6% of its population — were now sheltering in sites run by UNRWA, the aid agency for Palestinians. He cited reports of Israeli missile strikes on places like schools, health facilities and high-rise apartment buildings.
“I am deeply distressed by today’s announcement that Israel will initiate a complete siege of the Gaza Strip, nothing allowed in — no electricity, food, or fuel,” he said.
Suddenly the UN is concerned? Had they even heard of Gaza before or what?
Maybe it’s time for the Arab world to step up and help take care of Palestinians and give them a chance by taking them in. But we know they won’t, cause they don’t care either and it’s all just talk.
So, some kind of Trail of Tears? Why exactly do indigenous inhabitants of that land need to leave?
Oh, and,

Why exactly do indigenous inhabitants of that land need to leave?
Because they think Israel should have it instead.
Because its a terrorist state and under periodic attack by a neighboring fascist state. Putting aside who has the right to be there, everyone’s quality of life in Palestine is gonna be in the sh*tter so long as there are ongoing hostilities and that’s not gonna stop until hamas is willing to cooperate or is forcefully removed. The only resolution that doesn’t just aggravate the powderkeg is Palestinians being evacuated to countries where they can build better lives. They can’t acclimate to Israel, can’t be at peace with Israel so long as hamas leads them and let’s face it Israel will always be an asshole to them because their in a feedback loop of increasing aggression.
As soon as Hamas cares for its own citizens, something can be done about it.
The UN has given Israel precisely zero reasons to take it seriously. The UN has been at times COMICALLY anti-Israel, applying the most offensive double standards.
