For what it's worth, Zionism is an issue I am very familiar with, having studied it for ten years and having read lots of books on the topic. Yes of course you have. Perhaps you should have entered the conversation weeks ago when all the other experts on Zionism came out of the woodwork to. Oh and I was not asking what you posted in Oct.....lol

The tweets are a summary of the facts provided by COGAT of which you also had links to. You claim saying they are distorted does not make them so.

44 pages of replies on that here, please take a read. Provisional Decision Today: ICJ Weighs Emergency Measures Amid Allegations of Genocide in Gaza

Yes "Facilitating humanitarian aid" Its a war zone though, it has its difficulties Good to see you are taking notice of UN agencies and international orgs in Gaza I'm surprised though, its a first for you but noted. Personally I've lost all faith in them in Gaza. Plenty of UN topics on this forum that I've not seen you on. Perhaps you should visit them and to see the evidence of how some of their staff have been complicit in aiding Hamas. The agency GOGAT is the one responsible for checking and monitoring all aid going into Gaza. All the up to date data can be found here https://govextra.gov.il/cogat/humanitarian-efforts/home/ "If Israel isn’t letting enough aid into Gaza, why are the contents of 250 aid trucks (a whole day’s worth) just sitting on the Gazan side of Kerem Shalom, waiting for the UN to pick it up? The problem isn’t getting aid INTO Gaza. It’s getting it AROUND Gaza." "237 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid: food, medical supplies, shelter equipment, and water were inspected and transferred to Gaza today. The content of 250 humanitarian aid trucks is still waiting on the Gazan side of Kerem Shalom to be picked up by @UN aid orgs." The problem isn’t getting aid INTO Gaza. It’s getting aid AROUND. Israel can process 44 trucks an hour. The international agencies on the ground simply don’t have the capabilities to distribute it at that pace. Source If the terrorists Hamas agreed to that ceasefire instead of making excuses that they cant draw up a list of hostages still alive then distribution would be no problem. However they prefer to sacrifice the Gazan population. Ultimately its down to the ICJ to decide. A couple of weeks ago Hamas's mates South Africa went back to the ICJ requesting more provisional measures. The ICJ refused. They said those in place were enough. We've yet to see what they say this time. Its a pity you didn't get involved in the food topics and left it late to jump in here, its been discussed numerous times.

Being arrested does not mean they've been charged, they are still on active duty while an investigation goes on.

South Africa continuing its crusade as the legal wing of Hamas. Press Release from Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs South Africa continues to act as the legal arm of Hamas in an attempt to undermine Israel’s inherent right to defend itself and its citizens, and to release all of the hostages. The repeated requests for provisional measures made by South Africa in order to assist Hamas are yet another cynical exploitation of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which has already twice rejected the baseless attempts to deny Israel its right and obligation of self-defense. Israel acts and will continue to act in accordance with international law, including by facilitating humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, regardless of any legal proceedings. We call on the ICJ to reject outright the new request of the representatives of Hamas. https://twitter.com/LiorHaiat/status/1765680012353560814

So then you became a nurse yes we know.....

Hamas wants a ceasefire first and then says it will gather the information about which hostages are still alive. That's another of those delusional demands, nobody can believe Hamas. They are able to get numbers daily on deaths they can get the list of hostages still alive now, they do not need to wait for a ceasefire first. Its their way of scuppering the talks. Everyone knows that

That's just an update on the ceasefire which is already covered in this topic https://aseannow.com/topic/1320768-progress-made-in-hostage-talks-after-us-presents-new-proposal-sources-say/page/3/#comment-18747369

You are kidding, no wonder they are quoting senior Hamas officials who are telling lies IRNA is a government-funded and controlled under the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. IRNA has been placed under scrutiny in the past for spreading misinformation about various different events, including COVID-19, Israel, and the attempted assassination of Iraqi PM Mustafa al-Kadhimi.[3] The organization's accuracy has been additionally questioned for citing The Onion, a satirical news website. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Republic_News_Agency

This is just down the road from me, very large operation, dozens of quality cars for rent obviously making plenty of money, I pass it everyday. Serves them right.

Interesting article here on the complexities and dangers of providing humanitarian aid food, etc in war zones. Distribution, crowds turning into mobs, threats from Hamas as they are dressed in civilian clothing. I Have Delivered Aid in War Zones. They Were the Missions We Feared Most | Opinion I watched the aerial footage of the disaster surrounding the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attempt to deliver aid to Northern Gaza last Thursday in horror. While the complete details are unknown and awaiting further IDF investigation. Soldiers always have the right of self-defense. That must never be taken from them. In urban areas, especially those still active war zones, the threats are everywhere. In the case of Gaza where heavy fighting continues, threats can be snipers, rocket propelled grenades. We know Hamas dressed in civilian clothes have been walking up to armored vehicles to place magnet bombs and fire into the crowd during aid distribution. https://www.newsweek.com/i-have-delivered-aid-war-zones-they-were-missions-we-feared-most-opinion-1876536

Go away troll

Oh no! 😅

wow amazing. Well done UK for being the first one which will then be followed by Europe EU moves toward using profits from frozen Russian assets for Ukraine

No idea not that interested sorry

How does that question to me equate to my post which said Another one that needs to get back on topic jeez

What makes you think me or my family do not pay tax in the UK. Like I said, risk to everything, risk to sending Himars, one was confirmed destroyed, still 38 left. These sorts of risks are calculated. Would you like to get back on topic now.

The danger of course in sequestrating foreign assets from the western banking system for whatever reason is it sends the message to worldwide autocrats that it could happen to them. Yawn, risk to every action. Well done UK

Nice one David! Britain 'prepared to loan Ukraine all frozen Russian central bank assets in UK' Britain is prepared to loan Ukraine all frozen Russian central bank assets in the UK on the basis that Russia will be forced to pay reparations to Ukraine at the end of the war, the UK foreign secretary David Cameron has said. He said the assets would be used as surety for the payment of the reparations. The plan is more radical than proposals discussed in the European Union for Ukraine to be given only the windfall profits from the Russian central bank assets being held by the West. The annual windfall profits are estimated at $4bn. More in the link here

Hyperbole. What contradictions. Link to those in this string

The question arises: what would transpire if Israel were to engage in a genuine war against a nation or multiple nations Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in 6 days. Shows how careful they are being in Gaza because of human shields

You really shouldn't have put that prediction online, you cant get away from it now....lol. Bit like those who occasionally let their veil slip and show their true colours. Its too late. Its online in a post for all to see. Just jesting....:-) Seriously however, the deal has already been etched for a 6 week temp ceasefire as a first stage with the hope that would be extended to a further ceasefire with new talks but those new talks would not happen till the first stage has happened. The first stage is for 40 hostages to be released, which should include all remaining women and some of the other elderly, I think the exchange includes around 400 Palestinian prisoners many of those to be the more hard core convicted ones. So to what is in Hamas's hands. Israel and the US want a hostage list from them to reveal who is still alive and which ones will be released. Obviously in light of the UN report on the sexual abuse of the hostages in Gaza getting the women out first is even more important now. Hamas official says group doesn’t know which hostages are alive, or where they are A Hamas official explained to the BBC on Sunday why the terror group didn’t accede to the Israeli demand to provide the number of hostages still alive: it doesn’t know itself. “Practically it is impossible to know who is still alive because of the Israeli bombardment and blockage. They are in different areas with different groups,” according to Basem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political wing, who spoke with the BBC‘s London-based “Newshour” program from Istanbul. Qatar told Israel on Sunday that ceasefire talks will not be able to advance after Hamas failed to give Israel the number of living captives, which Israel said was a requirement to move forward with a ceasefire agreement. https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/hamas-official-says-group-doesnt-know-which-hostages-are-alive-or-where-they-are-b45o0ej9

The video above only mentions Kamala Harris calling for more aid and a ceasefire, the full speech is below and includes: "Hamas claims it wants a ceasefire, well there is a deal on the table and as we have said, Hamas needs to agree to that deal. Lets get a ceasefire, lets reunite the hostages with their families and lets provide immediate relief to the people of Gaza." Or like Biden said, its in Hamas hands now.

I would expect nothing else from the terrorists. Hamas Denies UN Report Finding Terror Group Committed Sexual Violence on Oct. 7 The UN’s Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General on Monday issued the long-anticipated report, which said Hamas may today still be abusing women kept as hostages in Gaza. The inquiry was led by Pramila Patten, the team’s special envoy. In response, Hamas accused the UN of pushing a pro-Israel bias. https://www.algemeiner.com/2024/03/05/hamas-denies-un-report-finding-terror-group-committed-sexual-violence-on-oct-7/
