I have a more cynical take. Sri Lanka did this too in the last days of the war. It was basically a way for them to say "we told them to leave, so anyone who remains is a terrorist" and bombs away. Really hope we are not seeing a repeat.

This will be hard for ppl to do, but glad Israel is giving civilians a heads up. Pretty much the opposite of what #Hamas did. Israel tells UN to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip within 24 hours

2. This is why the apologies seem smug and disingenuous. This is why he can’t give an Obama-style race speech and lead us out of this one. He is pitching it as a personal slight, which requires and demands forgiveness, as opposed to it being indicative of POC experience in Canada
