Hamas are desperate for civilians to stay in the war zone in the North.

Mosab Hassan Yousef (Son of co-founder of Hamas Founder) speaks about the civilian causalities in this war. His father founded Hamas.

Hamas Have Opened Up The Gates Of Hell.

https://youtu.be/B8YYmrgAeqw?t=423

"It's a fact that Hamas used civilians as human shields. It's a fact."

"Israel gives warnings to Gaza about which buildings will be destroyed. Hamas put's up road-blocks preventing civilians from evacuating."

Australian coverage of the latest situation was a little more subdued.

Australian Morning News

Australia is predominantly pro-Israel in this conflict.

Seven former Prime Ministers before Albanese are going to write a letter to Israel supporting their right to defend themself against Islamic terrorism and condemning Hamas for the attacks on 7 October 2023.

Channel 4 News

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGzChSnlEkM

Hamas are still very much alive and firing rockets back at Israel.

Mark Regev, former Israeli Ambassador to the UK and advisor to Netanyahu, also spoke at length about what Israel are doing.

McCain's widow is extremely worried.



For additional context on this, she is the incumbent Executive Director of the World Food Programme.

Netanyahu again blamed the 10/7 attack on his generals. Had to delete the tweet in embarrassment/shame. At least Chamberlain had the patriotic balls to resign when his credibility evaporated lol

(2) Literally just kill everybody in Gaza. And this is not an acceptable option by the standards of the 2020s (or really any time after the mid-20th century).

This is the logical conclusion of Israeli policy, because they have no plan for the Palestinians other than them surrendering their claims to the land. That won’t happen—but then, neither will the murder of everyone in Gaza, realistically. To reiterate: there is no plan. This is just retribution and open-ended collective punishment, not a serious strategy.

And yes, the US is absolutely responsible as an enabler and guarantor of these crimes. Of course, we’ve done the same thing since 9/11–the “Global War on Terror” is ongoing.
America has already leaked that Israel has no plan and no strategy.

As for policy changes, give it time.
The consensus is that Israel is doomed to fail, but will continue to fight as long as America allows it.

The current battle suits Netanyahu but not Democrats, as long as it goes on Netanyahu is safe and the Democrats are infighting with elections approaching.

Both want to cling on to power but one will go, and Netanyahu will not feel sorry for Republicans being in charge again.

So it's up to Democrats to pull the plug, with very high chances that they will, to restore peace within their party.

Robert Bowers is the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter. It's a really inappropriate remark even in the context of picking a mass shooter to compare the IDF to.

Insane stuff from Channel 14, the Israeli equivalent of GB News

They have a running tally of bombs dropped, Gazans killed (written as terrorists eliminated) and wounded, along with the number of buildings destroyed.

Though he did hang on as PM for a year after the war started. Hopefully not the case with Bibi.

There are, in fact, several things Biden could do:

* He could impose a no-fly zone and obliterate the Israeli Airforce

Huh?

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CybLhohSTqf/

That is like a Nazi sympathiser asking the USA and Great Britain to start fighting each other on the day of the Normandy invasion in WW2.

At this stage, a more viable option is for President Biden to withdraw funding of $1 Billion annually to Egypt until they open the Rafah border and start taking Gazan refugees.

Rinse and repeat with Jordan.

At that stage, would you be surprised to learn of any potential links between Egypt and Hamas?



Jordan has absorbed so many refugees over the past 75 years (not merely Palestinians but, in more recent years, Iraqis and Syrians) that the number of refugees and their descendants vastly outstrips the "indigenous" population.

Ironically, this is the same sort of flippant unconcern with how deeply traumatizing population movements can be that you see with people who insist that the Allies should have made the Zionists set up their state in Uganda or wherever.

I just came here to post this myself. Counting dead infants and toddlers as "terrorists" is one of the most horrifically sociopathic things I have ever seen in my life.

Israel has begun airstrikes in the vicinity of Al Quds hospital as of 4 PM local time.

Quote
Israeli airstrikes began in the vicinity of al-Quds hospital in Gaza City around 4 p.m. local time Sunday, hours after the Israeli military issued an immediate evacuation warning. The hospital is at capacity, including the children’s intensive care unit, and more than 12,000 people are sheltering within its grounds. Palestinian Red Crescent Society spokesperson Abdalla Elayyan said that several departments have sustained structural damage and that patients are at risk of suffocation from heavy smoke.

First videos of Israeli troops inside Gaza emerges.

Quote
A video posted on Saturday appeared to show Israeli troops occupying a beach hotel two miles inside the Gaza Strip. The soldiers are holding an Israeli flag that seemed to have been attached to a pole on top of the building. The man filming the video says they are “waving” the Israeli flag “in the heart of Gaza” three weeks after the “horrible crime,” a reference to the Oct. 7 Hamas incursion.

Quote
The video was posted by Israel Hayom, a national Israeli newspaper, and is one of the first to show troops that far inside Gaza.

The Post geolocated the video by matching the building with images posted on Facebook by the Tahani Chalet, a hotel on Gaza’s Mediterranean coast.

Sikha Mekomit claims the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence recommends the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the mobilisation of the international community to support this: https://www.mekomit.co.il/%D7%94%D7%9E%D7%A1%D7%9E%D7%9A-%D7%94%D7%9E%D7%9C%D7%90-%D7%A9%D7%9C-%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%93-%D7%94%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%93%D7%99%D7%A2%D7%99%D7%9F-%D7%9B%D7%99%D7%91%D7%95%D7%A9-%D7%A2%D7%96%D7%94-%D7%95/

It refers to previous claims made by Calcalist and has published the document in full. It notes that the existence of this document doesn't mean the government supports it, since the Ministry only has so much influence, but it is a serious allegation. The ministry is Likud-run.

I find the attention the West Bank is currently getting so low (compared to, say, what's going on near the Lebanese border), that it's borderline propagandistic:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/residents-of-southern-west-bank-hamlet-fleeing-due-to-settler-violence/

If the (mostly preemptive) flight of the Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians is generally considered to be ethnic cleansing, then what do you call this (which is just the latest of a recent string of such occurrences)?

The only two countries with the ability and the will to have stopped it are Russia and Iran, and they’d rather slaughter Ukrainians. Everyone else is either not interested (Turkey) or too far away (everyone else).
