Israel will return Gazans working in the country back to the besieged Palestinian enclave, Israel’s Security Cabinet announced on Thursday, adding that it would also sever contact with Gaza.

    Actually besieging a civilian population even to the point of depriving them of food, water, and electricity is, but I guess it's justified if you really don't think the civilians being threatened are people.

      They should have their own infrastructure for these things if they want to claim their independence and declare war with Israel. Hamas, their defacto government, is committing the war crimes. IDF told the civilians to leave, so they can flush out the Palestinian military (Hamas), who are at war with Israel. The civilians did not leave and are aiding and abetting the enemy. That makes the adults insurgents and the children their fault for putting in harms way.

        It's really weird to me that your entire position seems rooted on the assumption that Palestine has always been a fully independent and sovereign nation that just shockingly attacked Israel out of nowhere last month.

          Israel allowed the Palestinians to have Gaza and the West Bank in the 90’s as a peace offering and for them to form their own government. They were headed for a two state solution at the time, but that got destroyed by religious people on both sides. After that, the governments of Gaza have used their territory to launch rockets at Israeli towns and cities. Israel continued to do business with these territories in order to help build them up in a way that would help them get educated and possibly assimilated into Israeli society, but they instead allowed their government to wage war on Israel. These people are refugees from Arab countries that won’t accept them. Israel graciously did and granted them their own territories. They were thanked for this by war. Sounds like a Palestine problem and not an Israel problem. We can get into the history of who is native to the land, but I assure you that you won’t win that.
