    Huh, the IDF is currently pushing Gazans into smaller and smaller areas by not allowing them to evacuate through their lines and forcibly removing civilians who didn’t evacuate.

    They also plan to maintain the blockade they’ve had on the strip that heavily restricts people and material from moving.

    What historical parallel could there possibly be to this situation?

    Oh well. Better not listen to the guy who studied it hard enough to earn the award in the first place.
