Israel/Palestine Thread

Interesting news, could mean Israel are going to release and deport him. He is a potential future Palestinian leader so some PA officials may want him exiled?

Fadwa Barghouti, the wife of jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti, abruptly left Ramallah for Cairo late Tuesday, a Palestinian source told the Israeli news outlet Ynet.

She is now telling journalists that journalists have always been allowed into the Gaza Strip 😆

Well that did not last long

Research into Israeli theft and lies to produce propaganda to justify attacking medical facilities in Gaza and other buildings across the middle east…

Tbf that could have been done just minutes or hours before it was official, wouldn't be the first time that soldiers try to get some extra shots in right before a ceasefire or peace deal.

You didn't, and don't, offer any opinions though. You ask cryptic questions, people answer you and....pfffff.....gone

You mock people for basing opinions on news articles they are getting, calling them students or some odd sneer that goes over my head, whilst being unable to explain what it is you think is going on. You describe mass murder of civilians as "senior hurling". Not the comments of a serious poster.

Though then again, I'm guilty of a fair bit of sneering myself, so can't hold that against you - has to be some bit of humour here to alleviate the depressing sociopathic sh*te we all have to read over and over again.

But good - you have engaged here, thank you and I apologize for any offense, I was wrong.

The articles I sent quote the IDF and US government in saying there is no evidence that aid is being systematically looted by Hamas, as was claimed by the Israeli politicians as the rationale for causing famine in Gaza, and regurgitated by people on this thread. The US investigations found less than 1% of aid was stolen or obtained via fraud. So not the cause of famine as a previous poster implied.

Whose word are you taking, to refute this? @DayInTheBog ? The Israeli foreign ministry?

If someone else, send on the article for all to read.

govt could fall

There are probably weasel worded conditions in place that will prevent that.

Nice to see the footage of gazans and israelis celebrating the potential end of this war

Its not just your querying figures though, and you know that so spare the faux outrage. You have jumped in and out of this thread several times over the last few months, usually peddling Israeli propaganda. If you refuse to call out and condemn what is accepted by virtually all the relevant bodies and authorities as a genocide, its hardly a stretch to assume you are in favour of it.

I'd be shocked if this ceasefire lasts longer than a couple of months.

As depressing as that thought is.

None of that is going to happen.

Is the head of a party called "Religious Zionism" not a Zionist these days no? Because he isn't happy with it. In fact, he is voting against it.

I welcome the apology but to clothe it with an ill thought out abusive post kind of strips the thin veneer off it.

As much as i want the peace to hold, I don't think it will last that long either. Once the Israeli hostages are returned, the plan will collapse for very little reason at all, and all those vague parts of the peace plan will disappear real quick as always was intended.

I posted a while back that the US could sort a two-state solution in no time at all if there was the political will to do so, and we see the influence of the US with this rather weak peace plan. Does anyone now doubt that without Zionist influences in the US, this would have been sorted a long time ago? Amazingly it has come down to the oversized ego of one person to get a peace deal.

Israel has no interest in giving refuge to its collaborators.

With a Gaza ceasefire deal agreed between Hamas and Israel, questions are mounting over the fate of collaborators and militia members who worked alongside Israeli forces, after reports that the army has rejected a proposal to evacuate them once the war on Gaza comes to an end.

According to a report in Israel Hayom, an internal security discussion exposed deep divisions between the Israeli army and the Shin Bet over what to do with the so-called "supported militias" operating in Gaza.

The paper said the Shin Bet had proposed transferring members of these units to closed camps within the Gaza envelope after the fighting ends, as a temporary measure "to protect them and maintain security control".

However, the army reportedly opposed the plan. The head of the Southern Command argued that "the potential danger these individuals pose to Israeli civilians outweighs any obligation to provide them protection," citing intelligence warnings that some of the militia members had already fled after receiving "promises of amnesty from Hamas".
