13. About 400,000 didn't leave. Yes, lived in the rubble for a year. Imagine that.

As if that wasn't bad enough, 5 weeks ago the IDF launched a renewed ground and air assault on the north. They said it was necessary to get Hamas who have regrouped there. You may have read he many accounts of bombing of schools where the displaced sheltered, and the attacks and raids on the remaining hospitals. Patients were evacuated, meaning they had to walk or crawl to wherever, while dodging sniper bullets. But there are no fully functioning hospitals left, so....I wonder what happens to all the wounded and sick, amidst all the bombing?

Yes, there are still people left in the north, though much fewer than 400,000. They cling to their land and/or have no place to go or are afraid of being killed en route.

The IDF has given them two choices. Leave or starve.

Those that have left will not be allowed to return, per the IDF. Those that remain will be starved or killed, likely.

The ethnic cleansing of the north is nearly complete. It's happening in broad daylight and judging by comments since the election, it seems just fine to some.

Yet we should remember what the U.S. said at the beginning of the war: people of Gaza must be allowed to return to their homes and occupation of Gaza was not acceptable. Of course they have no homes to return to, but still. It's their fucking LAND and HOME.
