Hey, give Ali Velshi credit!
At least the MSNBC reporter didn't describe Hamas' murderous attack on Israel, as he infamously said of the violent post-George Floyd riots in Minneapolis in 2020, to be "not, generally speaking, unruly," while standing in front of burning buildings.
But, during MSNBC's 4 pm hour on Monday, Velshi declared that the total siege of Gaza announced by Israel's Defense Minister, constitutes a "war crime.""There is a lot of justified anger at Hamas for what has happened here. But there are people who are now calling for the collective punishment of the Gazans. Now, this is important to remember: that is a war crime.

This could not have happened without the full cooperation of the civilian population.

Apparently, NBC is making clear its anti-American and anti-Israeli positions. They and their parent Comcast should be struck from doing business in this country!! instead they will likely be rewarded by the trash that calls itself the Biden administration.

If the purpose of the siege of Gaza is to defeat those who fight against Israel, then the siege per se complies with Geneva even if civilians suffer.

The people of Gaza keep electing Hamas.
That's been their choice.
Now they are trapped as Egypt refuses to allow them in and Israel has secured all the border to Israel.
All that's left is the sea.
They are NOT being struck "without warning."
IDF does a "doorknock" explosion on the roof of a building then waits a while before flattening that building.
So, NOT a "war crime."

If there are people in Gaza who do not stand with the animals who launched this attack, then they should help with intelligence and the fight to rid Gaza of them.

Okay,I'll humor the MSDNC flak. Yes, opposing civilians should be respected and protected by a invading force following the rules and morals of combat.
But as we've seen again, the enemies of Israel have no qualms about targeting civilians, including children, in their murderous spree. They also have no qualms about operating their military facilities in schools, hospitals, and residential buildings, putting their own people at risk.
I trust that the Israelis, under the leadership of their Prime Minister, will do what has to be done to protect their innocents. Sadly, it is not going to be good for any good people of Gaza who do not escape what will be coming. But it is not the fault of the Israelis, the blame is at the feet of their Hamas leadership, many of them living the high life in Qatar and Iran.

I honestly don't believe that there are any non-hamas aligned civilians in Gaza!

It is just absolutely amazing the number of totally ignorant people in this world that are given a soap box on the MSM, especially MSNBC.
