Danny Australia Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Palestinian Girl Killed in Israeli Attack on Maternity Ward (yahoo.com) This Palestinian girl, Donia Abu Mohsen 13 years old, was injured in a previous Israeli attack few weeks ago and had both legs amputated. Her mother, father and two brothers were also killed in the earlier attack, and Mohsen was seeking treatment at the Nassar hospital. She was killed yesterday as a result of an Israeli bombing that targeted the medical complex. This hospital is now no longer operational. An innocent injured orphaned child was not safe even in her hospital bed. Despicable crime and utter injustice. Those with no humanity left in them would still come out fast and blame Hamas for this disgusting crime. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placeholder Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Britain's former defense secretary warns Israel's 'killing rage' risks 50 more years of conflict Israel is losing its legal basis for the war in Gaza with its “killing rage,” senior British politician Ben Wallace has warned amid growing Western criticism of Tel Aviv. The former defense secretary told the Daily Telegraph that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “losing sight of the long term,” advising Israel to end its "crude and indiscriminate method of attack" in Gaza. “But if he thinks a killing rage will rectify matters, then he is very wrong,” he said. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/britains-former-defense-secretary-warns-israels-killing-rage-risks-50-more-years-of-conflict/3086399 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more destruction the more effort it would be to rule and manage the Gaza Strip. The more death, the less cooperation from international community. Really? You think 20,000 as opposed to 40,000 or 40,000 as opposed to 80,000 is going to make a difference in the desire of the international community to cooperate? Why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are views that this may actually harm them, and serve Netanyahu. Asserting 'overwhelmingly likely that their thinking has changed' - carries little weight, just your opinion. Current polls continue to be very much negative to Netnayahu and the right in general. Considering the votes were almost evenly split last time, there isn't such a huge gap to close or anything.s are kinda soft on that. There are views? I'm sure there are. Are they sensible? Clearly not. Israelis Abandon Political Left Over Security Concerns After Oct. 7 Disenchanted by the prospect for peace after a devastating terrorist attack, Israelis are becoming more conservative in their politics. In the wellspring of sadness, anger and fear that has gripped Israel since that day, a consensus has emerged that Israel needs to take a harder line with the Palestinians and embrace an even more militarized state. And while public opinion of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is faltering, support for the policies upheld by his right-wing government is growing. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/19/world/middleeast/israel-oct-7-left-wing-peace.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in private, diplomats say, it has pushed for just that — augmenting Palestinian fears of a permanent expulsion. https://archive.ph/SE8z6 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/05/world/middleeast/israel-egypt-gaza.html Intelligence Ministry ‘concept paper’ proposes transferring Gazans to Egypt’s Sinai Prime Minister’s Office plays down document as hypothetical, non-binding, though Netanyahu reported to be lobbying EU governments to pressure Egypt to take in refugees https://www.timesofisrael.com/intelligence-ministry-concept-paper-proposes-transferring-gazans-to-egypts-sinai/ As time goes by the pressure to do something will grow even stronger. You really believe that members of the Israeli government aren't aware of how the massive destruction of infrastructure can play out? Those people may be many things, but stupid isn't one of them. Is that the best you can come up with? The first link does not actually go the full distance on your own assertions. The second link was addressed numerous times by now - kinda doubt you missed that. Not government policy, not a ministry with any authority, and the paper was not embraced by the government. As for the last point, I beg to differ - I think many on the current Israeli government are thick as bricks, ignorant and/or victims of religious set of mind which hampers logical thought processes. They have smarts, sort of, on the domestic political level - and even that's debatable. Nice try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(b) The above said, there will be a time (if casualties continue to mount at the same pace) where things could no longer be framed in any reasonable or digestible context.

That still doesn't explain why the willingness of countries to provide aid would be inversely proportional to how many civilians were killed. If anything, the more civilians that are killed, the more pressure there will be to allow aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much about Hamas - not like they are popular in the West (some protests and elements therein aside). The point is that such things tend to effect how the side is perceived, and so, might carry negative effect for the Palestinians in general. The same way them illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank effect Israel's image - even if they do not represent all of the Israeli public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may explain why she was not released during the November cease-fire: Hamas may not be holding her, or even know where she is. Argamani is among 14 female civilians who have yet to be released by their captors. More than two months after she was taken hostage, friends and family are growing more desperate to know her fate, and why she hasn’t been freed alongside about 100 others. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/noa-argamani-israel-hamas-hostages-nova-music-festival-rcna129792 Excellent vid on the investigation, worth a watch but heartbreaking, you have been warned............. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
