Israel/Palestine Thread

What is the reason for not waiting a commission to inquiry into the events of October 7th.
I suspect it will come eventually.

If a commission would establish the truth, who could possibly vote for the truth to remain hidden?

No other visual sums up Israel so easily.

Some kind of good news despite the Israeli blockage on the entry of aid trucks.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Tuesday that it is expanding its humanitarian operations in Gaza City.

The agency said it is “expanding operations in Gaza City, resuming health services, emergency shelters, water distribution, and solid waste removal, while clearance of explosive ordnance remains critical to ensure civilian safety.”

In a post on X, UNRWA stated that around 6,000 aid trucks are waiting at Gaza’s crossings. These trucks carry food supplies sufficient for Gaza’s population for six months, along with hundreds of thousands of tents and shelter materials urgently needed as winter approaches.

The agency confirmed that the Israeli authorities continue to prevent the entry of this aid.

The bodies were so badly mutilated that health officials could not identify the deceased.

There can be no justification for something like that.

Wonder will Starmer apoligise?

And pigs will fly…

It’s supposed to be a red line for the US and even Trump. Given how weak Trump is when confronted with organized opposition, I’d be worried for Gaza. Trump will be facing serious resistance from the Israel Lobby.

How many dead Palestinians has Israel got? Do they murder them and bring them back to Israel for future trading deals - like Hamas did?

Haaretz also reported that the Israeli army has been holding about 1,500 bodies of Palestinians from Gaza at the notorious Sde Teiman military base in southern Israel.

The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, brokered through regional and international mediation, took effect on Oct. 10. Phase one of the truce included the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and a partial Israeli withdrawal. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Since October 2023, the Israeli genocidal war has killed over 68,200 people and injured more than 170,300, according to the Health Ministry.

China proposes three-point proposal for resolution of Palestine conflict.

https://english.pnn.ps/news/46123

Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward a three-point proposal for the settlement of the Palestinian question during his talks with visiting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Beijing on Wednesday.

Xi stressed that the Palestinian question has remained unresolved for over half a century, causing great sufferings to the Palestinian people; justice must be done to Palestine as soon as possible.

First, the fundamental solution lies in the establishment of an independent state of Palestine that enjoys full sovereignty on the basis of the 1967 borders and with east Jerusalem as its capital, he said.

Second, Palestine's economic and livelihood needs should be met, and the international community needs to step up development assistance and humanitarian aid to Palestine, he said.

Third, it is important to keep to the right direction of peace talks. The historical status quo of the holy sites in Jerusalem should be respected, and excessive and provocative words and actions should be avoided. A large-scale, more authoritative and more influential international peace conference should be convened so as to create conditions for the resumption of peace talks and contribute tangible efforts to help Palestine and Israel live in peace, he said.

"China stands ready to play a positive role to assist Palestine in achieving internal reconciliation and promote peace talks," Xi said.

ICJ has ruled that Israel was able to provide sufficient evidence that UNRWA was infiltrated by Hamas. Which of course means.

The ICJ is infiltrated by Hamas!!!

Tragically, this does seem to be the belief of the western anti Israel protesters. What has, for instance, Greta Thunberg said about the fact that the hospitals in Gaza are being used by Hamas to interrogate (ie torture) hundreds or maybe thousands of Gazans since the ceasefire?

It really seems like they only cared about having a reason for attacking Israel, not about Gazans at all.

Yet again you try to twist it to suit your own antisemitic narrative.

You're certainly consistent in your bad faith posting.

Nobody has explained why it's anything but anti-semitic to find the Star of David objectionable. I mean, unless nobody else was allowed to approach the protest and even make their feelings known to them. Which would raise other questions about who is entitled to have opinions in public nowadays.
