Palestinian officials are accusing Israeli forces of carrying out “execution-style” killings in Gaza after the discovery of a mass grave containing at least 30 decomposing bodies. Some of the victims were blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs with zip ties. The bodies were found on the grounds of a school in Beit Lahia. Al Jazeera spoke to one man who helped discover the bodies.
Palestinian man: “Inside the schoolyard, we were shocked to find the dead bodies. Those are Palestinian civilians, blindfolded and handcuffed at the back. The dead bodies were kept inside black plastic bags.”
The discovery of the mass grave comes as the death toll in Gaza has topped 27,000. At least another 66,000 have been injured. The group Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor is now estimating that more than 25,000 Palestinian children have lost one or both parents in Gaza over the past four months.
I’m not saying that at all. I’m saying they are incapable of dealing with Hamas on their own because Israel does not allow them the supplies and support they need to be able to deal with them.
If Israel lifted the blockade and allowed the Palestinian Authority to act on their own, as an independent government, Hamas would be gone.
Israel will never do that, because they see all Palestinians as the enemy.

“Israel’s former chief military advocate general and the country’s former attorney general no less, who declared that to destroy Hamas “then you have to destroy Gaza, because everything in Gaza, almost every building there, is a stronghold of Hamas”.”
…Gaza has had 15 years to try and Mount an offensive against Hamas.
Israel is attacked with a bombing essentially weekly over the last near 2 decades. Where are the supplies for those coming from?
Is Qatar possibly the answer?
Gaza has been blockaded by Israel since 2005.
Did you even BOTHER reading the links?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip
"Israel blockaded the Gaza Strip at various levels of intensity in 2005–2006, with Israeli imposed closures having a history going back to 1991.[7][8][9][10][11] In 2007, after Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip, Israel imposed an indefinite blockade of Gaza that is ongoing to present day, on the grounds that Fatah and Palestinian Authority forces had fled the Strip and were no longer able to provide security on the Palestinian side.[12] "
Here’s another good one:

“Less than 16% of items needed to construct vital water infrastructure are reaching Gaza”
You: “bUt why Don’T theY dO sOMetHiNg ABout HAMaS?”
They can’t. They literally can’t, and the reason they can’t is Israel’s blockade.
Why aren’t their supplies coming in through the same route as the weapons?
If the terrorists are getting their needs met while the people aren’t, isn’t that the fault of Hamas?
No, because the terrorists have their own supply chain. If the civilians utilized it, Israel would go “See! They’re all Hamas!”
So the terrorists are Hamas, who are also the elected government of Palestine.
So if you are stating that Hamas in.fact does have trade routes established with their neighbors, you have to concede that Israel is not fully to blame here.
Sadly? I don’t think you are willing to let yourself be capable of admitting that.
