Well, they did all close by Nov 11. And today's date is January 16. So how does a closure that occurred more than 2 months ago, somehow mena that schools were open today?

What question was that?

Nor can you prove it. And you're the one who brought it up as evidence. And I notice you didn't address the issue of water. Drinking water is even more crucial to survival than food. No mention of how much of those shipments is water.

Well COGAT is claiming that for food deliveries only. That said, I haven't been able to find confirmation of their claim of 70 trucks for food anywhere. What I do know is that there is no potable water on tap in Gaza. So all drinking water has to be imported. I'm assuming that's included in their figures. Given that COGAT has denied that there is any starvation in Gaza, why should anyone give them the benefit of the doubt?

What don't you understand about the present tense? Do you think it encompasses all time subsequent to Oct 7?

Ah, the resort to nitpicking when you've got nothing. What don't you understand about the fact that Hanaguma raised the issue of schools as a current problem? It's not a current problem. Children aren't attending school. Why is that so difficult for you to understand?

Do you understand that COGAT also is the Israeli government body that administers the West Bank? Whether it works with or against the UN is a matter of some debate? I'm not sure the UN takes your rosy view of the matter UN agency heads say Gaza needs more aid to arrive faster, warning of famine and disease Gaza urgently needs more aid or its desperate population will suffer widespread famine and disease, the heads of three major U.N. agencies warned Monday, as authorities in the enclave reported that the death toll in the Israel-Hamas war had surpassed 24,000. While the U.N. agency chiefs did not directly point a finger at Israel, they said aid delivery is hobbled by the opening of too few border crossings, a slow vetting process for trucks and goods going into Gaza, and continuing fighting throughout the territory — all of which Israel plays a deciding factor in.

The issue was the tense. As though children are still in attendance. Otherwise why mention schools in conjunction with children. If schools are being used as shelter now, I don't think it has anything to do with whether or not the occupants are children.

You think children are still attending school in Gaza? Oh wait a minute. I forgot. You posted those lovely photos of the abundant fruits and vegetables abundanat in Gaza that were taken by COGAT.

Part of this may go back to the grudge that black South Africans hold against Israel for its support of the apartheid government including possible assistance in building nuclear weapons. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/feb/07/southafrica.israel

You missed the point. Hanaguma claimed that children in Gaza are in danger because of those weapons stored in classrooms.

I quite agree that prominent Democrats should have run against Biden. Whether fairly or not, he is a weak candidate. As for those droves, what does it say about the strength of Republican candidates that they are either slightly ahead or slightly behind Biden in the polls posing matchups?

Actually, in 2012 and 2004 some states cancelled primaries. Most held them.

The claims you make for your predictions may be astounding or they may be baseless. That you would make such a claim is more evidence of emptiness.

Your trolling was empty. Just a taunt about the future. If what I wrote was trolling, at least it was based on evidence. And if you hadn't trolled in the first place, I wouldn't have had occasion to make my comment.

First you claim that children are in danger because Hamas stored weaponry in schools. Now you're backtracking on that piece of ridiculousness. And your view of laws governing warfare is so simplistic as to be ridiculous. It sounds like some nonsense out of the Old Testament. If Israel's conduct of the war results in mass deaths by starvation and disease, deaths it could avert by allow sufficient aid to enter Israel Not even the Israeli government agrees with you: Israel has no obligation to actively provide humanitarian aid to the civilian population in Gaza. Israel is only required to allow the passage of humanitarian aid, including food, water, medicine, and medical equipment.Oct 26, 2566 BE https://www.inss.org.il/publication/israel-duties/#:~:text=The Obligation to Allow the,%2C medicine%2C and medical equipment.

Israel has clearly stated its intent to remain in Gaza. Even if that weren't the case, your comment is laughable. They're occupying portions of it now.

The clams of genocide have to do with the Israeli conduct in this war.. Do you believe that the gestation period for Palestinians is just a couple of months? As for the children being in danger because of Hamas using "schools to hide weapons and rockets", I guess you believe they're out of danger now because schools aren't in session.

Actually, under international law, as the occupying power they are. But if what you claim is true, then Israel could deny the entry of aid into Gaza and legally commit genocide.

Well, for one thing, UK citizens had more children back then. https://www.statista.com/statistics/284042/fertility-rate-in-the-united-kingdom-uk/#:~:text=Total fertility rate in the UK 1961-2021&text=In 2021%2C the total fertility,per woman recorded in 1964.

Just one in a long line of empty trolling comments from that party. Funny considering how the crybabies who supported Trump have been whining about a stolen election for the past 3 years.

Children make up nearly half of Gaza's population. Here's what it means for the war. https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1206479861/israel-gaza-hamas-children-population-war-palestinians And you believe in capital punishment for those having vile beliefs? Should the same fate befall Israelis broadcasting their genocidal beliefs?

So it's justified to stop sending food into Gaza because of things that can be used to make bombs?

If Biden is such an obvious and blatant disaster, what does it say about Trump that, according to the RCP polling average, he's just 1.1 point ahead of Biden. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/

Right. You mean the dreaded bombs made out of flour?
