According to Wall Street, the United States says Israel has installed a large pumping system in the Gaza Strip, which could be used to fill underground tunnels with water to expel Hamas militants. The Gaza Strip is said to have at least 500 kilometres of underpasses of various sizes, which contain not only many people fleeing the fighting, but also some Hamas members, but mainly ordinary people. It is reported that the Israeli army has installed at least five large pumping pumps in the northern Gaza Strip, which can pump thousands of cubic meters of seawater per hour, which means that if the irrigation plan is really implemented, these underground passages could be flooded in more than a month. It is not yet known whether Israel will actually take such a move and whether it will be able to achieve its goals.
But regardless of the final outcome, such methods are considered too cruel and contrary to humanitarian ethics. In addition to the pumping system, the IDF is using a variety of military and technical tools to weaken Hamas in different ways. An American** believes that Israel is understandable in terms of technology and capabilities, but in terms of cruelty, compared with the actions of the Japanese devils, it is thought-provoking. Israel is facing increasing external pressure, especially from the international community, and has begun to turn. About a month ago, Israel had informed the United States of their irrigation plan, indicating that they were ready to act and hoped that the United States would support them in the international arena.
However, many in the United States said that if Israel took such an action, it would put enormous pressure on the United States, put Biden in a difficult situation, and at the same time attract the condemnation of the whole world. Therefore, Israel must strike a balance between pursuing war goals and protecting civilians, and the United States implies that Israel cannot act too aggressively and not cause trouble for the United States. Although I personally believe that if Israel does act, it will move forward firmly, even in the face of these pressures. However, the United States cannot change its support for Israel, and this Palestinian-Israeli conflict has once again revealed the contradiction between the so-called civilizational values between the United States and Israel.
All this makes people think deeply, and the intricacies of international relations, the political considerations and moral choices involved behind them, make people feel palpitations.
