Gaza civilians vow 'death is better than leaving' as many refuse to evacuate 'hellhole' despite Israel saying Hamas use them as 'human shields', and UN warning 'the noose around the population is tightening'

Defiant Gazans who refused to evacuate after Israel gave them 24 hours before launching an all-out assault have claimed they would rather die than leave their homes.

While some heeded the call to leave, by Friday afternoon there was little sign of a mass exodus, despite the UN warning the area is 'fast becoming a hellhole'.

'Death is better than leaving,' said Mohammad, 20, standing in the street outside a building reduced to rubble in an Israeli air strike two days ago near the centre of Gaza.

'I was born here, and I will die here, leaving is a stigma.'

With power supplies cut and food and water in the Palestinian enclave running short after a week of retaliatory air strikes and a full Israeli blockade, the U.N. said Gaza's civilians were in an impossible situation.

Fine with me!

Israel gave them warnings... if they don’t heed them, then the fault for their deaths lies with them.

Squalor here, squalor there.

Every one of them undoubtedly cheered on the attacks on Israeli civilians.

Cause of death: suicide. Liberals will try to twist the facts later, though.

“’Death is better than leaving,’ said Mohammad, 20, standing in the street outside a building reduced to rubble in an Israeli air strike two days ago near the centre of Gaza.”

Mohammad 20 is probably Hamas and is looking for his 72 virgins. I say accommodate the lad.

“I was born here, and I will die here,”

OK.

Well, Islam does mean “to submit”, so have a nice moment with submitting.

They should be given their wish

So he it…

[canuck_conservative]

have claimed they would rather die than leave their homes

good

like an oil-vinegar salad dressing that sits for a while, we are now witnessing a separation of Gaza society into two parts - those who want to get along are leaving, and the hard-core haters are staying behind

this will make eliminating the Hamas problem much easier

[Delta 21]

“the U.N. said Gaza’s civilians were in an impossible situation.” What started this lil kerfuffle?

Yeah my eyes just rolled across the floor in different directions.

Where their worm will never die the the flame will never be quenched.

Enjoy!!!

Alright then.

They must believe that once the first Palis are killed, the world will clamp down on Israel and stop their operations. Based on past history, they have every reason to believe that.

Win, win.
