They were terrorists, can you tell me what war crimes were committed? Has an ICC investigation already been carried out and arrest warrants issued? IDF says it killed 3 terrorists planning Oct. 7-like attack hiding in Jenin hospital The 3 terrorists: https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/middle-east/palestinian-territories/1706591010-3-terrorists-eliminated-by-israeli-special-forces-inside-a-hospital-in-jenin-report

Don't worry in a couple of weeks the Guardian may catch up with this bit of news too, from 2 days ago. Gantz: War against Hamas could last an entire generation, hostages must remain top priority War cabinet minister Benny Gantz tells residents of the evacuated southern communities that the war against Hamas could last “a year, a decade, or even an entire generation,” and acknowledges the urgent need to ensure the release of the hostages still held in Gaza, Channel 12 reports. “There is time to destroy Hamas; there is no time left for the hostages; right now, they are the priority,” he tells representatives of various Gaza border communities during a meeting about the ongoing war. “Complete removal of the threat will take time; we are hoping for relative security by the summer,” he says, and adds that the troops in Gaza will soon reach the city of Rafah, which borders Egypt. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/gantz-war-against-hamas-could-last-an-entire-generation-hostages-must-remain-top-priority/

My point was made in my post, it was discussed along with a link to the discussion.......

What are you talking about, where did I claim it was discussed here? do you think I'm not aware of what I post? The post from NYT was not accurate?

The organization is one of the main reasons for the prolonged conflict - teaching children to hate Israel and then failing to condemn it when they take up arms against it. the events of that horrible day were just a physical example to the years of incitement to hatred and awful approach the organization has to this conflict.

Triggered..................lol The UNRWA problem here isn’t just funding an org in which some workers are terrorists, disconnected from the org’s activity. The issue is widespread systematic integration of terrorist activity into an international governmental organization that is funded by states.

nearly 2 weeks since it was discussed Hamas Rehabilitates Battalions Declared Dismantled by Israeli Army in Northern Gaza Strip Sources say Hamas is appointing new commanders and is attempting to bring together operatives from different battalions. A senior defense official indicated that Hamas was severely wounded, but the withdrawal of the forces would allow it to recover https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-18/ty-article/.premium/hamas-rehabilitates-battalions-declared-dismantled-by-israeli-army-in-northern-gaza-strip/0000018d-1bab-dd75-addd-fbeba8eb0000 https://archive.ph/ZnoxI

Very weak, you seem unable or willing to back up your previous post. Not surprising.

Wow, from the WSJ above: "The report said 23% of Unrwa’s male employees had ties to Hamas, a higher percentage than the average of 15% for adult males in Gaza, indicating a higher politicization of the agency than the population at large." Rotten to the core

Another huge tunnel network in Khan Yunis Breaking - IDF reveals never before seen footage of a Hamas command tunnel located underneath a graveyard in Khan Yunis The tunnel was used by Hamas during and since October 7 to launch attacks against our forces.

The UN in Gaza's reputation has taken a severe battering. There needs to be a complete overhaul: The UN’s Terrorism Teachers Millions of Palestinians who attend UNRWA schools in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and Gaza are taught that the war of 1948 is not over, and that they have a “right of return”—meaning, to dismantle and take over Israel. The UN betrays its mission by signaling to the Palestinians that the war is not over, and to keep fighting. UN Secretary General António Guterres said he was “horrified” to discover that UNRWA employees participated in the invasion and massacre of October 7. But in reality, their actions merely translated UNRWA’s core message into action. Don’t take my word for it. Listen to what thousands of UNRWA teachers in Gaza say among themselves. https://www.thefp.com/p/the-united-nations-terrorism-teachers

ICJ did not ask for a ceasefire, you really need to go back to the first few pages of this topic to read the Provisional Measures. ICJ did ask for immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.

Hamas has spoken. ☠️

You really think that terrorists that want to murder all Jews should be in the same room as a Israeli delegation? You think that Israel wants to be in the same room with terrorists responsible for Oct 7th? Really? Why do you think Qatar is there, they are friends, have influence to a small degree, they know what's what and talk directly with Hamas as well as providing them with continued millions of dollars every month.

One thing I noticed in this article was that these talks were being conducted and brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar Of course Israel is attending in the talks. Not that there should be any talks about this, Hamas was ordered by ICJ to release the hostages with no preconditions immediately. Why would anyone want them there when they lie through their teeth. These talks have been ongoing for days now, constructive but still significant gaps.

@Brickleberry in case you've not quite worked this out, this is evidence that was submitted to the ICJ judges by Israel, that's what this topic is about

Palestinian freedom fighters as hostages to pressure them into surrender. Really, you want to stay with that, "freedom fighters" Sheryl Sandberg on Hamas rapists and those who say nothing In December, a witness at the Supernova music festival, where Hamas killed 364 people, said he had seen fighters gang-raping one woman before shooting her. He watched others strip another woman and behead her. When Hamas burst through Israel’s defences on October 7, clear evidence of widespread rape alongside the mass murder began to pile up. What happened that day, says Sandberg, was “premeditated, co-ordinated, multi-location, all on one day, rape and unbelievable sexual violence”. “I want people to understand and acknowledge what happened — sexual violence is not freedom fighting,” she says. “Sexual violence is not resistance. I think when people remember and think about what happened, they get there.” https://archive.ph/fNbl5 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sheryl-sandberg-on-hamas-rapists-and-her-allies-who-stayed-silent-9cl5t5nw7

Not as bias as Hamas

France and Japan now join UNRWA fund freeze. The list of countries increasing daily. Japan’s Foreign Ministry said the country had decided to suspend additional funding to the agency for now, was “extremely concerned about the alleged involvement of UNRWA staff members in the terror attack on Israel,” and has been “strongly urging UNRWA to conduct the investigation in a prompt and complete manner.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/france-joins-unrwa-fund-freeze-as-jordan-warns-against-collective-punishment/

"Government spokesperson Mark Regev said there was a structural relationship between UNRWA and Hamas and not just a matter of a few bad apples. the names provided were just the "tip of the iceberg," he said." Israel says UNRWA staff implicate themselves, more complicit in crimes Government spokesperson says there is a structural relationship between UNRWA and Hamas and not just a few bad apples; says Hamas videos show members of UN organization in atrocities, others, captured, tell interrogators they work for UN Israel believes there are more UNRWA staff collaborating with Hamas, after the UN conceded that 12 members of the organization had participated in the October 7 massacre. Officials also said that UNRWA sites were used as terror instillations in the war. Military intelligence was looking for further indications that incriminate more members of the UN refugee organization of taking part in the atrocities. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/b100f3oq9t

This has been known for years and its now coming back to to manifest in real world action. A complete failure for the UN to address its own agency for years and allowing this to happen. In 2022, the Israeli watchdog IMPACT-se said UNRWA educational material taught students that Israel was attempting to "erase Palestinian identity, steal and falsify Palestinian heritage, and erase the cultural heritage of Jerusalem", adding that the agency promoted "anti-Semitism, hate, intolerance and lack of neutrality". The European Commission identified what it called "anti-Semitic material" in the schoolbooks, "including even incitement to violence". The European Parliament has called repeatedly for EU funding to the Palestinian Authority to be conditional on removing such content. UNRWA has previously said that reports made about its educational material were "inaccurate and misleading" and that many of the books in question were not used in its schools. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68123222

‘These schools are in every single way - radical organizations' Marcus Sheff, CEO of the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education, elucidates the content taught to Palestinian children in UNRWA schools.

Meantime, the genocide continues. Link?

There is no reason to believe they changed their mind over a ruling that was largely favourable to them The hostages are waiting for this miracle to be released via the order with no pre conditions. Ever though of throwing away that crystal ball and head back down to earth? 85. The Court deems it necessary to emphasize that all parties to the conflict in the Gaza Strip are bound by international humanitarian law. It is gravely concerned about the fate of the hostages abducted during the attack in Israel on 7 October 2023 and held since then by Hamas and other armed groups, and calls for their immediate and unconditional release.

Very dishonest of you, that was before the rulings and you know it and the reality is Hamas has refused, how on earth can you believe terrorists especially when they are proved wrong as now: "Israel welcomes the Court’s clear demand for the immediate and unconditional release of all the hostages held in Gaza."
