Oh my. You are someone I would walk miles to avoid. And btw? HAMAS has been in control of Gaza since 2007, and has always had the complete genocide of Jews as their goal, first and foremost. They are entirely to blame for any hardships the Palestinian people have dealt with. Educate yourself. JERUSALEM (AP) — In the three and a half decades since it began as an underground militant group, Hamas has pursued a consistently violent strategy aimed at rolling back Israeli rule — and it has made steady progress despite bringing enormous suffering to both sides of the conflict. From its establishment in the late 1980s, on the eve of the first Palestinian intifada, or uprising, Hamas has been committed to armed struggle and the destruction of Israel. At the height of the peace process in the 1990s, it launched scores of suicide bombings and other attacks that killed hundreds of Israeli civilians. The violence only intensified with the breakdown in peace talks and the far deadlier second Palestinian uprising in 2000. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-conflict-endgame-1bfcc187d826596e78090ec6cbf6516c |

It was not an opinion piece but actually a report put out by Defense for Children international- Palestine which is an NGO that works for the rights of children in the West Bank and Gaza. Shortly after they came out with this report they were designated a terrorist organization by Israel and had their offices raided. Several countries (France, Germany, Sweden among others) said there was no proof of terrorism and would continue to work with them. This is mentioned in an interview former state department official Josh Paul gave on PBS: I was part of the human rights vetting process for arms going to Israel. And a charity called Defensive Children International Palestine drew our attention at the State Department to the sexual assault, actually the rape of a 13-year-old boy that occurred in an Israeli prison in Moskobiya (ph) in Jerusalem. We examined these allegations. We believe they were credible. We put them through Israel to the government of Israel. And you know what happened the next day? The IDF went into the DCIP offices and removed all their computers and declared them a terrorist entity. Here is the report again: https://www.dci-palestine.org/israeli_interrogator_sexually_assaults_palestinian_child_detainee Here is the Josh Paul interview: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/amanpour-and-company/video/fmr-state-dept-official-on-his-decision-to-leave-after-oct-7-2/ |

Ooh, now tell us about the constant attacks and suicide bombings inflicted by Hamas on Israel, for decades.

| We must pressure Israel to agree to a two state solution that Palestinians will never agree to. |

Because Israel insists on ensuring that offers do not include the return of land they stole via settlements |

They don't want to face the fact that Hamas continues to send rockets into central Israel and their supporters cheer them on (just take a glance at any social media platform). |

Paleeeese Palestinian leadership does not want a state. They will immediately lose the refugee status (the only people who inherit the refugee status) and will cease receiving billions of dollars in aid. They don’t want to lose their their $100,000 per month salaries. It’s not happening. |

So you admit that Israel determined that the group making this allegation was found to be a terrorist organization by Israel, right? So why should I read their report if they are a terrorist organization? As I said in my first post, it is clearly biased. |

This is not about women. This is about propaganda used in war. The stories told by men of horrific torture rape and killings of women have been debunked. When he claimed to have seen 20 children shot and burned, he was lying as Israel confirms 13 children were killed. The truth in all this is bad enough. Trying to justify the continued aggression and murdering of civilians is heinous. |

It is just so interesting that Israel declared them a terrorist organization right after they came up with an unflattering report. LOL Putin and Bibi all do the same thing. When they don't like what someone says, they declare him a terrorist or a foreign agent or whatever. |

I don't care what you read or believe. I don't post this to convince you. https://www.ynetnews.com/magazine/article/BkFIIVT7u Remember the earnest ZAKA, this not-to-be-doubted organization that gifted us the story of beheaded babies, babies on a laundry line, pregnant women with their stomachs open and god knows what else? Uh-huh. As more accusations of sexual misconduct against former ZAKA chairman Yehuda Meshi-Zahav keep pouring in from both men and women, voices within the ultra-Orthodox community are trying to distance themselves from the veteran first responder, likening him to disgraced U.S. financier Jefferey Epstein who became notorious for grooming minors for his own pleasure. The sheer amount of accusations leveled against Meshi-Zahav and rumors that his alleged actions were an open secret within the community raised questions about the functioning of the sector's modesty patrols — vigilante gangs that act to enforce a code of modesty among the Haredi public through violence and intimidation. 'Yehuda Meshi-Zahav was the Haredi Jeffrey Esptein' Residents of Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood, Meshi-Zahav's birthplace, say they weren't surprised to learn about his alleged mischiefs, claiming that new accusations are 'just the tip of the iceberg' and that community leaders even considered castrating him once. As more accusations of sexual misconduct against former ZAKA chairman Yehuda Meshi-Zahav keep pouring in from both men and women, voices within the ultra-Orthodox community are trying to distance themselves from the veteran first responder, likening him to disgraced U.S. financier Jefferey Epstein who became notorious for grooming minors for his own pleasure.

In Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood, where Meshi Zahav was raised and spent most of his life, these groups usually refrain from turning to authorities in cases of sexual misconduct as they do not recognize the State of Israel (LOL!!!!). But they don't turn a blind eye, either. A member of one such group, called the Committee for Preserving Our Camp's Purity, spoke to Ynet on condition of anonymity and said that Meshi-Zahav's deeds were well known across the neighborhood, but the conventional communal systems did not know how or could handle him. "Meshi[-Zahav] was a despicable man and everyone in Mea Shearim knew it," he said. "Everyone's been talking about it since I was born, and I personally know names of people who have slept with him. It's no secret. We're talking about loads of people. For him, everything goes – women, children, boys and girls, and if animals could talk and tell their stories, I've no doubt we would've found out he was playing around with them too. Everything that moves, essentially." |

Do whatever you want, but Israel has proven time and time again to be the party in this conflict that cannot be trusted, and that cannot sustain integrity in their reporting of what’s occurring in the region. People without an agenda instinctively laugh aloud when “Israel” and “facts” are mentioned in the same breath. Zero integrity. Zero credibility. Israel is basically an isolated state on the world stage because countries don’t trust anyone affiliated with the Israeli government. Maybe that will change with a new wave of political leaders in Israel, but right now, Israel is not taken seriously by the rest of the world. Its just not. |

It’s too easy to find support inside the “Israel can do no wrong, and Palestinians can do no right” echo chamber. They knew the baked babies, clotheslined babies, shovel decapitations, and rampant rape lies would eventually be brought into the light, but all they needed was a lying head start to galvanize support from their fellow White Supremacists. Too easy. |
