Under the cover of heavy air strikes and artillery shelling, large Israeli ground forces directly and systematically attack homes and buildings used as shelters by displaced families, forcing everyone out at gunpoint.

The buildings, including UN schools and houses, are subsequently either razed or burned by Israeli soldiers to prevent people from returning.

Troops then separate men from women, before taking them to humiliating field interrogations and later abducting many of them to unknown locations.

Women and children are forced to head south of Jabalia refugee camp. Some were bombed and killed as they fled, according to media reports

Yeah, I used to think a two state solution was eventually workable, but now I see this whole project needs to be stopped.

This has been Israel since inception. The early Zionists were always very open about their intentions. Their "Greater Israel" plan has existed for generations. Palestinians did not grab a weapon as their first choice but their last.

The difference is our ability to see everything on social media now.

Yeah, I just didn't really know about it before, I agree that that was always the project.

I remember thinking in 2010 or so that Israel has no incentive to seek a two-seater solution. They would just continue to say that they were trying to work it out while continuing to settle, until the point that there were enough Israelis that it wouldn't matter anymore.
