Israel/Palestine Thread

It explicitly shows how this can only be interpreted as a deliberate tactic to starve the population. There's no way to blame Hamas for the starvation.

Bibi could ensure that there are no hungry children in gaza simply by allowing all the aid that's waiting outside to enter gaza. But he won't. He'll lie and lie and lie about how there's no starvation in Gaza whilst deliberately starving them.

The whole world can see it with their own eyes. We see the footage. We see the statistics about how much food is let in. We can see how the lack of food leads to starving children.

Bibi is evil. He's willing to let children die because either

1. He wants them to die
2. He wants the right wingers in his government to keep supporting him.
3. All of the above.

And it also means that every single statement since the beginning of the war about how Israel don't want to hurt civilians is complete bull. causing suffering for the civilian population is a primary goal.

Will Israeli citizens hold bibi to account for starving Israeli hostages?

It’s common sense that when you deliberately stave the Palastinian population that a consequence is you starve Israeli hostages, blaming Palestinians for starving Israelis is perverse when it is Israel stopping food going in to Gaza.

Victim blaming is a common theme with countries that are up to no good. Interesting that the regime's fans from outside are taking on all the propaganda talking points about the genocide and repeating them : "Hamas are to blame for everything", "Hamas are starving the population of Gaza" etc (as if the 60k deaths, displacement of 2m people and now widespread starvation is something that was 'forced' on Israel).

Kind of irritates me to see this big list of Israeli worthies asking the US to step in and put a stop to what their govt. is doing in their name. I mean I do agree of course…but…

Israel have heavily weighted their support to a single side of US politics (Republicans) for a long time now IMO - since Bush II, so almost a generation. They have increasingly backed the extreme religious and right wing Republicans as well because they are most fervent in blind support of Israel, and are influenced by their hatred for Arabs and muslims. These extremists are ascendant in the party now, a major power in US politics, and Trump is their President.

They did that because the Republicans in particular always gave them an almost completely free hand. There has been no pressure from the US on them to engage with Palestinians for a long time. They could carry on land grabbing as they wished, and pandering to the worst parts of their own politics, the settlers and religious nuts, without consequences.

Now that's reached a nadir, and is coming to what was likely the inevitable and forseeable conclusion in monstrous policies of the current Israeli govt. they go and cry about how the US should "stop us" like a bold child etc. Utterly pathetic.

For all the people wondering why the Gazan's or Hamas would resort to the actions on October 7th, it's worth remembering they have tried the peaceful option in 2018 with the Great March of Return. That however ended with 1000's, yes 1000's of Gazan's shot by sniper fire as they approached the fences of the concentration camp. This wasn't indiscriminate machine gun fire, but aimed and targeted shooting of unarmed men, women, children, medics, journalists and people in wheel chairs. They specifically targeted the groin area of young men or the kneecaps. Remember, you cannot hate them enough.

Starmer should be in the Hague again, this time as the accused

America First, tho

Sounds like the apartheid state is set to send troops into Gaza to fully occupy it. Decision set to be announced on Tuesday if true.

148 (or so?) UN member states recognise PA as a fellow member state already.

The US and NATO can't keep harping on about Russia having a veto at this stage

Seems like kite flying. No way are they gonna announce that right now. They could have at any point before and faced less backlash.

If I was a gamblin man, I'd say this is an invite for Trump to come in with a deal plan and get his stupid peace prize, while buying Bibi some more time

Trump is a hand puppet. His little sawdust brain is either gonna want to support Israel more, or outdo/match Obbamna Hussein in getting a peace prize.

I wish they'd just give him the prize tbh, coz he might just **** off if he gets it

Absolutely disgusting commentary. If this is a true reflection then as a society, they have a long way to go to get back to what would be considered normal.

Complete and utter destruction of an entire land and way of life for a people. It's revolting.
