I used to say (I didn't invent the term) that Gaza residents live in an open-air prison. From new reports I think the correct term (I also didn't invent this one) "the worlds largest concentration camp."

It is not (yet) an extermination concentration camp like Auschwitz, and it won't ever by like that camp. Instead the way things are going Isreal is going to claim that they have no choice but to go into Gaza and kill all the Hamas members. What I expect may happen in reality is that Israel will kill everyone and then claim they were Hamas, or are collateral damage, or some other equally transparent lie. Lies like Israel has been telling for years about not targeting medics and/or journalists, just on everyone in Gaza.

It is, IMO for this reason they have cut off power and are now waiting. No electricity means very few to no cameras to record their war crimes.

Note that none of this excuses the killing of civilians by the Palestinians. Even if they are being held in concentration camp, killing civilians is also a war crime.
