To all decent Israelis -  get these animals out of office.!

Netanyahu must order annexation of the West Bank if the International Court of Justice rules Israeli occupation is illegal, far-right minister says.

It’s not the first time Smotrich – who lives in an illegal settlement himself – has called for the seizure of Palestinian land.

Note, this was pre oct 7 last year, highlighting that was not the day this war started!

Shame the Party Palestinians voted in, changed everything for them, well isn't it.......?   🤔

You never seem to blame the instigator, why is that......?

Just a few months too late and something that we all knew anyway but still, at least they finally acknowledged just some of the war crimes by Hamas in a token 236 page report.

 

Human Rights Watch details hundreds of war crimes by Hamas-led terrorists on Oct. 7

Hamas led armed Palestinian groups in committing hundreds of highly coordinated war crimes, including attacks on civilians and gender-based violence, during the October 7 onslaught on Israel that set off the war in Gaza, Human Rights Watch said in a comprehensive report published Wednesday.

One of the most in-depth international studies on the unprecedented incursion into southern Israel outlines a host of potential war crimes cases during the attack, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.

HRW, a frequent critic of Israel’s policy toward the Palestinians, failed at the time to condemn the attack outright, according to a senior editor who left the group soon afterward claiming that antisemitism had pervaded the organization.

Just heard on Al Jazeera that the US military is pulling the plug on the floating pier fiasco. Complete waste of 230 million US $.

IMO it was also a waste of time given Biden could have forced netanyahu to open the land borders.

 

One hopes that the US military never has to build another floating pier if they are so incapable of doing so. They did better on D Day. If that was now- "sorry, but you'll have to cancel the invasion of Europe as the pier floated away in a rough sea".

Rather ironic Biden giving the Israelis bombs and the Gazans food.

On the terrorist front there is still a long way to go but getting there............

 

 

Hamas is weakened, but there’s no room for complacency

Senior officers in the IDF are sounding increasingly upbeat about the progress of the war — and the process of dismantling Hamas’s military capabilities.

The army doesn’t claim to have found, much less destroyed, all of Hamas’s tunnels. In the Rafah area, for instance, it envisages long work ahead to disable the underground infrastructure to the point where it could not be resurrected — partly because the routes through which Hamas smuggled in arms from Egypt extend deep into the densely populated city, where blowing up sections of tunnels is fraught with complexity. But gradually and inexorably, the tunnel threat is being reduced, especially as the IDF advances its kilometer-wide buffer zone inside Gaza all along the border with Israel.

Why does Israel step up its attacks when Gaza ceasefire talks advance?

Agreed. As long as the veto remains the UN is useless. It was set up to prevent wars, but has utterly failed. I have no idea what function the so called security council plays but it's just a ridiculous talking shop with no teeth that I can see. Hasn't stopped Ukraine, hasn't stopped Gaza, hasn't stopped Sudan, hasn't stopped Burma, just useless.

Of course israel will ignore the court's ruling, but when something happens they don't like, they'll be screaming for the UN to help them.

CNN reporting from Gaza in the town where the hostages were rescued, interesting article. 

 

"Neighbors told CNN it was no secret that the family had links to Hamas. “We were worried about the Aljamal house. They are with Hamas,” said a neighbor and family acquaintance."

“Had we known, had he told us, we would have taken safety precautions, hide or move to somewhere else,” one neighbor, Abu Muhammad El Tahrawi, said.

 

In fact the day before the raid, Aljamal had published an article in the US based Palestine Chronicle where he was a regular contributor apart from his Hamas duties including keeping hostages and we know he also published in Al Jazeera once.

 

‘He was a pious man’: The Gaza neighborhood shocked to find Israeli hostages in their midst

Neighbors told CNN it was no secret that the family had links to Hamas. “We were worried about the Aljamal house. They are with Hamas,” said a neighbor and family acquaintance.

Abdallah had served as a spokesman for Gaza’s Ministry of Labor as recently as 2022, a position entrusted only to Hamas members, according to political analysts. He also showed his support for the group on social media. On Facebook, he posted pictures of his young son dressed in the fatigues of Hamas’ armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, and on October 7 openly praised the group’s attack on Israel. In a 2022 video post, Abdallah commended the Hamas operation to kidnap Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was held in Gaza between 2006 and 2011, and proclaimed: “Brothers, all of us are prepared to die for the resistance.”

Thanks for that update. 

Have those damn Hamas terrorists been hiding out in the refugee camps again? Hope they managed to kill them all. They've also been attacking aid convoys.

 

"IDF kills Islamic Jihad naval chief in Gaza; Hamas attacks troops securing aid route

Meanwhile, in an incident Wednesday in southern Gaza’s Rafah, the IDF said that Hamas operatives fired RPGs at Israeli troops operating along a humanitarian route, while aid trucks were traveling through it. As a result of the RPG fire, a soldier with the Givati Brigade was moderately wounded, the IDF said."

 

They killed about another 20 of the terrorists here as well, I wonder why Al Jazeera has not mentioned it?

 

"Another recent airstrike killed a Hamas sniper who killed an Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip, along with some 20 more terror operatives, the IDF and Shin Bet security agency said Thursday.
According to the IDF, the drone strike killed around 20 members of Hamas’s Shati Battalion, including members of the elite Nukhba force, snipers, and operatives who would observe Israeli forces."

@Neeranam will never mention that stuff, he is a Hamas terrorist supporter........🤔

The war can end immediately as soon as Hamas agrees to a ceasefire, stops firing rockets from the civilian locations, and releases the remaining hostages. It's quite simple.

First, how about releasing the Palestinians in Israeli jails. 

Also, stop the Apartheid in Israel and West Bank. Have you any idea why Oct 7 happened?

How about releasing the innocent hostages being held by the terrorists? How many Thai hostages still bringing held?

A report by two surgeons who volunteered for two weeks at Gaza European Hospital. It is lengthy but describes well how terrible living conditions are currently in Gaza.

 

Below extract from the linked article

 

"We started seeing a series of children, preteens mostly, who’d been shot in the head. They’d go on to slowly die, only to be replaced by new victims who’d also been shot in the head, and who would also go on to slowly die. Their families told us one of two stories: the children were playing inside when they were shot by Israeli forces, or they were playing in the street when they were shot by Israeli forces."

LOL, the "war" has been going on against Palestinians since the illegal occupations began in the 1960s.

This conflict is just the latest battle in the war.

 

BTW why would Hamas agree to anything when netanyahu has said they will be hunted down, even after the current assault ends? Threats like that are no way to bring about a ceasefire, though that was likely his plan, as IMO he obviously doesn't want peace.

Just seen on Al Jazeera- the Houthies had a successful drone attack on Tel Aviv and the israelis bomb a refinery in Yemen. Looks like the war is expanding, despite Biden's stated desire for it not to escalate.

No idea how many Thai hostages there are. 

I do know there are over 38,000 Palestinians killed, mostly women and children: supporting this Genocide is repugnant. 

I find it very disturbing to see people support the Zionist entity, especially considering its practices such as occupation, apartheid policies, illegal settlements, and the segregation through separate roads. These actions are not only morally repugnant but also violate fundamental human rights.

It's crucial to stand against such injustices and advocate for equality and justice for all people in the region.

No I mean all the hostages, over 100 hundred of them. The reason there is still a war on.

So the children are all playing, is that not good news?
