Biden successfully leaned on Netanyahu to turn the water back on and let in supplies. This was totally indefensible anyway if you want people to believe you when claiming Hamas is the enemy not the general population of Gaza.
Somebody hung up those signs, how do you know they were Israelis?Jonathan Pollard: The Day After
Going forward, not one Palestinian should be allowed to reside in Gaza. Opinion.www.israelnationalnews.com
the writer of that first article should ring a bell to some here....
as much as I want to believe, any chance of a real news source on that?Biden successfully leaned on Netanyahu to turn the water back on and let in supplies. This was totally indefensible anyway if you want people to believe you when claiming Hamas is the enemy not the general population of Gaza.
A US lawmaker told The Times of Israel yesterday that a senior Israeli official had indicated to them that Jerusalem will allow food, water and medicine into Gaza after imposing a siege on the enclave, as it appears to be gearing up for a ground operation to destroy Hamas.
The US lawmaker clarified that Israel has not committed to letting in electricity and fuel supplies into Gaza, which they say are not covered by the same rules under laws of armed conflict.
Hamas leadership and membership should be terminated with extreme prejudice. This time there should be watchdogs and oversight inside gaza that actively look for signs of radicalism so it can be dealt with at its earliest stages to prevent a repeat. Civilians should be encouraged to report it if they see it to prevent harm to their communities.
So should netanyahu and his cronies if you want to be fairHamas leadership and membership should be terminated with extreme prejudice.

that was on Oct 7th, off the shore of an Israeli town. They didn't have much choice with that. Have to get them before they get to shore, and if they try to pull them into the boat that is a good way to get a grenade or suicide vest in the boat.Oh that's the case for sure. I just saw a first person video of an Israeli boat crew blowing up Hamas boats, then driving around shooting the bobbing survivors. They tossed grenades on the ones that tried to dive away from the gunfire. IDF has no interest in taking Hamas prisoners far as I can tell.
I hope Israelis terminate Bibi's career with extreme prejudice. I think they will. Right wing nuts get away with dereliction of duty and worse in America because we're accustomed to safety and afforded the luxury of arguing. Neither of those apply to Israel. Their public is shaking with rage.
That would be a mistake.The US could always withdraw any support for Israel as a bargaining chip to get them to act better. well as long as we have a Dem potus. Trump would probably agree with genocide on Gaza from Israel.
So should netanyahu and his cronies if you want to be fair
Wow, indeed. Thanks for this!!Not taking sides, there's enough pain to go around.
This kid though..
The guiding aim of self hate is to keep the fact that we were conditioned to conform to local social norms by force of humiliation and that to avoid remembering that and all the pain that we felt we adopted a protective ego. That ego seeks to recover self respect by comparison with others, a comparison that is facilitated the mythical creation of the inferior other. At least we can feel we are better than them. This means, sadly, that the last thing we will ever do is see others as equals because if everybody is equal then we must all be pieces of shit. And thus we become what we fear, a world full of Zombies seeking status power and fame to fill the emptiness within. This is why the meek, the ego defeated, those lacking is self-pretension are the only ones likely to get free from that prison.I do agree that Hamas, its leadership and membership, should be rooted out and dealt with.
Maybe you didn't mean to word it that way, but watchdogs and oversight committees sounds strongly of an authoritarian regime. It just smacks a little too much like how China has dealt with dissenters in places like Xinjiang. A secret police force that monitors and records the citizens, reeducation camps. That sort of stuff.
It was also interesting to see China speak out recently against Israeli treatment of Palestinians in the Gaza strip. I know it's hypocrisy, considering China's treatment of dissenters, and China is only speaking out as a dissenting voice, so it can speak out against the US by proxy.
As always, I'm just saddened by the loss of life. In my youth I paid less attention to such things, but as I grew older and had children of my own, I now pay much more attention to the world my children will inherit. I see a lot of parallels in how China has treated dissenters in regions like Xinjiang and how Israel has treated Palestinians in the Gaza strip.
As someone of Chinese descent, I hope that others remember that the government or those in charge do not always represent the feelings of the general populace. There are a lot of innocent victims in Israel, the Gaza strip, as well as China. Condemn those in charge who commit or help further atrocities, but remember those who are innocent and the true victims, the general populace. I'd wager the overwhelming majority of people living in Israel, the Gaza strip, and places like China just want to just live in peace, among family and friends.
Until Palestinians living in the Gaza strip can live with dignity, I do not believe there ever will be peace in that region.

I'm watching a multicamera live stream and gaza is being hit super hard right now.
Enjoy yourself? what a self righteous ass you are being.your self righteousness using the apparent death of a child that itself could be propaganda. How about you watch the slaughter of women and children by Hamas and “enjoy yourself” you sickoThat s just propaganda, a palestinian responsible for water supply said that shut off pumps do not work without energy, besides so much water pipes have been destroyed that water would flow directly to those massive leakages and this cant be repared that easily given the circumstances, and actually not at all as long as bombardments keep going on.
That s what you re watching being hit hard, enjoy yourself :
You know Moonbeam, it seems to me we once had this exact same argument on this very discussion board, where I made the same points, you made the same points in response, I then responded again the same way, after which you ignored all my factual points and instead went off on one of your familiar philosophical rants. It's not lost on me that when certain historical facts are mentioned on this particular topic, that the anti-Israel peanut gallery has nothing whatsoever to say. It's a strong pattern I've noticed over 20 years of posting on this topic, here and elsewhere. But hey, I'll give it to you, you have your own unique way of ignoring arguments you cannot refute. You do it in style.

Bravo and nice work President Biden, you just saved a lot of innocent lives.
One person can't stop the Wheel of Karma, the reciprocal laws of programmed sleeping machines. One can only with great self confrontation and perhaps with guidance personally step off.what a dotard, that guy. clearly has no influence anywhere, eh?
Ryan Macbeth as always does an excellent analysis, this time on Hamas's operational order of attack on October 7th:
He goes into detail on the level of professionalism and organization shown by Hamas.
Hamas is a terrorist organization, but they are also a professional regular army.
.
.
Ryan doesn't say this, but we all know the IDF is not a professional regular army. I have a feeling the IDF is in for a vicious surprise. The one thing we have seen over and over is professionalism and training matter more then all the toys in the world.
Be prepared for the possibly the IDF loses round 1.
.

I wonder if the IDF knows this? It would explain the evacuate all the civilians from the north plan. If they cannot beat Hamas in a combined arms fight then all they have left is airstrikes.
