I am just wondering how far this will go.

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Concentration camp would still not be the most accurate word to describe the situation though. It is not a purpose built area, but an already existing area cordoned off for “containment”. There is literally a word for what you described. It’s called a Ghetto. That is their purpose. To act as a restricted containment area to box in and segregate a target population, usually for the aim of elimination from society, or preparation for extermination.
Hence my example of the Warsaw Ghetto in the first comment. An near identical situation to what is happening in Gaza.
