    If the internet is blocked how do you know Palestinians are being wiped out?

    Also, wouldn’t it take many many months of target carpet bombing, just like what has been happening in Ukraine?

      It’s densely populated. Imagine carpet bombing Melbourne Central all the way down to Flinders Street on a Saturday afternoon.

      You do know there are journalists in the region who would have internet access right? Palestine also barely had any infrastructure to begin with. It’s carpet bombing doesn’t take long when your bombing a city that has been carpet bombed about fifty times already and has been unable to rebuild. What an ignorant take on the situation.

        Aiii, what’s the point of the ignorant comment. Seagoon isn’t a random bad faith troll, they’re a reg. Don’t be punitive. Help them understand or skate on by.

      Good critical thinking, but push further. A complete blackout is almost impossible in this age - especially in an area that’s a global focus. There’s too many points of access across too many differing technologies. On a broader note, carpet bombing isn’t subtle and even if the area was a complete blackout, you can see that shit from surrounding countries.

      Area wise, it’s a small space. Different terrain. Ukraine is a sprawling country, Gaza is a narrow, dense strip. It’s the difference between bombing victoria and bombing flinders street
