Your not getting this. Hamas's strategy has been to maximize civilian casualties throughout this war, they say so themselves! The opposite of the IDF.

On the ceasefire, yesterdays Whitehouse Press Briefing National Security Adviser Sullivan: “One of the things that I have found somewhat absent from the [media] coverage is that what we are talking about in the first phase is women, elderly, and wounded civilians. Those who would like to see a ceasefire in Gaza. A ceasefire is on the table today for six weeks to be built on into something more enduring if Hamas would simply release women, wounded, and elderly. And the fact that they will not do so says a lot to me about Hamas’s regard for innocent Palestinian civilians, the fact that they were holding on to those folks and refusing to release them, um and refusing to step up and say that we could get this ceasefire in place, which not only would bring calm to the fighting, but also would create an enormous opportunity to flow humanitarian assistance in in much greater quantities, because a significant part of the problem on the humanitarian assistance front, as you know, has not just been getting trucks into Gaza, but getting trucks around Gaza because it is difficult to move them in light of all of the fighting. Now we've also encouraged Israel to stay at the table. Stay engaged because we believe that there still is scope for this deal to get done.” https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2024/03/12/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-and-national-security-advisor-jake-sullivan-12/

Hamas doing its best to stop the aid convoys reaching their destinations............. Hamas-linked website warns Palestinians not to work with Israel' GAZA, March 11 (Reuters) - A Hamas-linked website on Monday warned Palestinian individuals or groups against co-operating with Israel to provide security for aid convoys amid the five-month-old war in the Gaza Strip. Those who did would be treated as collaborators and be handled with an iron fist, the Hamas Al-Majd security website said, quoting a security official in Palestinian militant forces. The warning came in response to Israeli media reports that Israel was considering arming some Palestinian individuals or clans in Gaza to provide security protection for aid convoys into the besieged enclave as part of wider planning for humanitarian supplies after the fighting ends. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-linked-website-warns-palestinians-not-work-with-israel-2024-03-11/

Because he knows what about the situation in Gaza? Its a pity Ricky Gervais was not around this year: “Don't use this as a platform to make a political speech. You are in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. So come up, accept your little award and <deleted> off.”

The stated israeli objective of "destroying Hamas" is IMO a nonsense, and more likely just a cover story for a massive attack on Gaza. Another of your conspiracy theories brewing up, where do the hostages figure in this? In the real world the IDF is also ensuring aid to northern Gaza regardless of the UN rants: https://twitter.com/EylonALevy/status/1767527319562858711

Who cares if you ignore it. Having UNHCR as one of the replacements along with the UN’s World Food Programme is a far more credible than the previous terrorist employers.

Yes I have, I did not supply links with solutions for nothing. Still laughing? Or go back and actually read the solutions?

Deflection to the realities of the ongoing situation.

and another deflection from the realities of UNWRA.

When you have nothing, deflect from the topic

It was in 2011 when many of those terrorists were being taught in UNRWA schools. Rinse and repeat eh. Just what Hamas wants. More attacks again and again.

This from 2011 (Council on Foreign Relations), advancing peace in Gaza and the West Bank, a pity they did not carry this through then................... Note it was well known to be infiltrated by Hamas terrorists even then Ending UNRWA and Advancing Peace It is worth noting that there are many other criticisms of UNRWA: that it overlooks terrorist group activity in some camps, or allows members of Hamas and other terrorist groups to hold UNRWA staff positions. But those are criticisms of how UNRWA is carrying out its mission, while the deeper problem is the mission itself. That mission might accurately be described as enlarging the Palestinian refugee problem forever and thereby making any Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement tremendously more difficult if not impossible to achieve. Closing UNRWA would in the end be a great favor to Palestinians who live outside the West Bank and Gaza, assuming that the needed services it provides them could be provided by other agencies or the governments of the countries in which they live. https://www.cfr.org/blog/ending-unrwa-and-advancing-peace

You missed this:

What's that got to do with the casualty numbers, you seem to have time to justify not talking about them...............

Rubbish they want them replaced by the UN’s World Food Programme among others. See link above

Why is anything from an Israel writer rubbish? The article clearly says "opinion" so well done for identifying what was there already

Interesting article opinion piece from John Spencer the chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute. The Road to Ceasefire Leads Through the Rafah Offensive Have you wondered why, despite the devastation in Gaza and massive diplomatic efforts involving many countries, Hamas continues to refuse a ceasefire? It has a lot to do with its initial strategy on October 7—and the United States. When Hamas attacked and invaded Israel, it did so knowing there would be a massive response by Israel and an operation into Gaza. It knew many Gazan civilians would die, indeed they counted on it, referring to their population as a "nation of martyrs" and taking pride in their sacrifices to further Hamas's military goals. The military strategy for Hamas' October 7 attack was to create the largest scale of atrocity possible and survive Israel's counterattack. Then, having survived, it intended to build up for many more October 7 attacks, all with the aim of achieving its grand strategic goal: the destruction of Israel and the death of the Jewish people. https://www.newsweek.com/road-ceasefire-leads-through-rafah-offensive-opinion-1878137

LOL yea convenient for you to have time for Israel numbers and not Hamas How the Gaza Ministry of Health Fakes Casualty Numbers

I know of one allegation that one tunnel was built by Israel, however there are hundreds built after Israel was not there. You are lying.

This topic is about casualty numbers, I don't know of any lies from the IDF on this, I do know of lies from Hamas

IDF seeking to force UNRWA dissolution in Gaza, to be replaced by alternative Israel working with other bodies in the Palestinian enclave, including the UN’s World Food Programme, to find viable replacements for the agency accused of consorting with Hamas. https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-seeking-to-force-unrwa-dissolution-in-gaza-to-be-replaced-by-alternative/

I hope you are just as concerned for the pin point accuracy of the Hamas announced daily deaths of Palestinians. A topic on the matter would suggest your not seeing as you've not commented on it.

There is a huge difference funding Hamas out of your own tax payers money and allowing Qatar to fund it. Your deflection to your lies are noted.

That's not rephrasing, that's changing your previous false claims

Not True. They facilitated Qatars payments to Hamas for a few years. They did not fund Hamas. Please provide a link to that.
