Israel’s goal was to create a buffer of up to roughly six-tenths of a mile along the entire length of Israel’s roughly 36-mile border with Gaza.
Alright, so 36 miles long times 0.6 miles wide - they want to steal 21.6 square miles of Gazan territory (in addition to all the other killing and looting they're doing). The entirety of Gaza is only 140.9 square miles, so they're talking about essentially stealing 15% of all Gazan land here.
Fuck Israel. They want a buffer zone, build it on their own fucking land. They already have over 8367 square miles, 21 square miles is literally just a rounding error to them.
