Israeli ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of northern Gaza and residents will not be allowed to return home, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said, in what appears to be the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area.

In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”.

International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.

    “Bibi laughed and said: get fucked loser. The strong do what they will and the meek suffer what they must. Who’s going to stop me? Biden? Trump? The rest of the world that isn’t doing shit but finger wagging? HA! We won, cry more snowflakes. He then punched a child in the face and continued laughing.”

    “Biden has remarked on the subject saying: Hurnmenlem… whaaa? We beat medicare.”

      I was with you until the end.

      If you’re going to satirize Biden, you have to do more than just pull direct quotes from him.

        Like this one?

        "If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump then you ain’t black,” Mr. Biden said.

        Yeah that one’s on me, it’s really hard to satirize someone that’s already a joke. :P
