Ugh. More car infrastructure with no bike lanes or pedestrian-friendly sidewalks. Have we learned nothing about urban planning?

Wait, is this [email protected] or another community?
- Did /r/urbanhell make it over to Lemmy?
So the rumor that Israel wants to take over the northern part of Gaza has finally come true?
- The IDF, that very reliable source (/S), says they'll only use it to move troops around.
  
  One very easy tell that the IDF is lying: their lips are moving.
  
  If it's just to move troops around, why dig trenches and have a huge no-man's-land along the road? It's kinda like they're building Berlin wall v2. We'll see if they'll allow 1.5 million displaced Gaza populations to return to the northern part of Gaza later.
  
  Well if the road is only for troops then I suppose any Israeli on it will be a legitimate target moving forward.
- It's not a rumor, that was their official announced plan, or rather small parts of north gaza. The conspiracy is that they want all of Gaza which they didn't say, but is pushed by pro-hamas supporters.
  
  I think you're either misinformed or spreading disinformation:

But they promised that all Palestinians would be able to return to their homes in the north at the start of their Genocide! Surely israel wouldn't gasp lie!
- It is not possible for a conservative to enter any conversation or negotiation in good faith. A conservative is biologically incapable of honesty. Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
  
  Defund Israel. Let them answer to their neighbors on their own!
  
  Unfortunately, that would be terrible.
  
  Just as they have the Hannibal Directive for captured soldiers and civilians, they have a similar directive with their nukes and are psychotic enough to follow through on it.
  
  The +170 nations that voted for a ceasefire need to put together a task force to take control of their nukes & decommission them then run a truth commission with prosecutions & executions of the convicted.
  
  The only appropriate way to deal with Israel (is real?) is for God to nuke them like he did with Sodom and Gomorrah
This will never work as a barrier, I'm told Gaza is riddled with tunnels.
- The tunnels are forfiet, they are being systematically destroyed as they are discovered, and they must be, so that Gaza can be rebuilt without another century of Hamas violence.
  
  Dude, slash-fucking-s holy shit
