Israel/Palestine Thread

Some guy will be along any moment now to say "but what about hamas"

I was about to post the same. It seems unthinkable that they'd let their own people be butchered in order to create a scenario that mitigates their actions.

But it's Netanyahu, so who knows. If it ever comes out in Israel that he had advance knowledge of Hamas' attack, he'll be praying for a trial by the ICJ

Yes,considering how successfully Israeli intelligence compromised Hezbollah and the Iranian military,It's very hard to believe Hamas could plan such a large scale operation without Israeli intelligence getting wind of it- especially considering how many operatives were involved. Also the fact the area is one of the most surveilled on earth. Hamas are just using paragliders for recreational purposes( nothing to see here).

Having said all that surely there would be people in the intelligence community who would not knowingly commit career suicide for the political ideology of others. That's before you even consider the morality of it all.

I think the penny finally dropped with the international community and media in the last three weeks that Israel is a rogue state committing genocide in Gaza. Anyone still supporting the regime at this point is pretty much announcing to everyone that they support genocide and war crimes, no matter what way they try to deny it or dress it up.

One of the reasons Israel monitors everything the foreign media do and not allow them into Gaza

I think even the germans are coming around.

And this article is talking about their local journalist in gaza. She and her colleagues are now too weak to work.

But we hadn’t expected that hunger would also present a risk to her life. There has been a lack of sufficient food supplies in Gaza for several months, and prices in shops and at markets have skyrocketed. But last Friday, Ghada said for the first time that she wouldn’t be able to deliver a scheduled interview on time. She was so weak and exhausted from hunger, she said, that she couldn’t think clearly – and was suffering from "terrible headaches.” She apologized.

Over the weekend, her condition grew worse. When we spoke over the phone on Monday, she spoke slowly with an audibly heavy tongue. She said that she had only been able to eat a few spoonfuls of beans and a small piece of bread. From the little that she and her brother still had, she said, they were giving almost all of it to the children. She is unable to access the money in her account because of the extremely high commissions being demanded by the payout offices and the lack of security all around.

She said she is afraid of the other starving people on the streets: "People here are turning into beasts.” She knows, Ghada wrote me, that she is strong, but she said she is unable to fight off this creeping death. She said that she spends her days crying – and drinking lots of water so that there is at least something in her stomach.

At the beginning of the week, the French news agency AFP wrote of their own Palestinian colleagues in Gaza who are also unable to work any longer because of hunger: "We refuse to watch them die." The same is true for our colleague Ghada.

Once again, I'd like to see one of the pro starvation, pro genocide, people try to justify this.

All Bibi needs to do to stop this is let the trucks in, let aid get distributed.

If by 'they' you mean all Zionists, both Jewish and Christian, that's a lot of people. These nutjobs honestly think that when Israel controls the entire region then it will usher in the second coming of Christ and they don't give a toss who they have to murder to make it happen. Their denial is simply off the scale - you could march them through Gaza and they would find a way to not believe what they're seeing.

The world needs to open their eyes to the terrorist, genocidal state. Israel, correctly, identified that the media is key to their genocide - target and murder the local media and deny the western media access so they can frame the narrative. It is utterly sickening that the western media mollycoddled Israel for so long.

The lies have nowhere to go any more, so there's not much point.

Given that the majority of past genocides happened during wartime, this is the most demented claim of the lot from the Zionists. Saying that genocide, starvation and mass murder of innocent civilians is a natural outcome or by-product of any conflict is quite outrageous.
