There will be two million sick, starving, traumatized people in Gaza, many of whom have horrific injuries, who will need immediate help. I hope the UN and other agencies are ready to step up.


LOL. Do you really think Israel will stop the carnage on Sunday? They would only up the ante if hostages are released. Hamas has no reason to get rid of the only power they have over Israel.

Israeli sniper kills the Palestinian journalist Saed Abu Nabhan in al Nuseirat refuge camp while evacuating civilians

Genocider don't want their genocidal behavior to be documented. That's why more than 200 journalists have been assassinated.


Hanging out in a war zone has obvious risks.


Yes everything is a war zone according to Zionists. Hospitals, schools, refugee camps, world food kitchen, etc.


Yes, anywhere Hamas is hiding is a target. If you have a problem with that, take it up with Hamas.


Hind Rajab, a 7 year old little girl was Hamas! Thank god the IDF filled her with over 200 bullets!


War if hell.
Hamas started this war and they can end it at any time by unconditionally surrendering.

FAFO


Oh shut up seriously. And that murder was a war crime.


War casualties are not war crimes, even when those casualties are civilians, something which occurs in all significant conflicts. While you might not like the fact that civilians suffer due to Hamas activity, that's something to take up with Hamas, whose combatants hide among and behind civilians as a matter of doctrine. Despicable, but on them.


War casualties absolutely are war crimes if the killers violate international law, which Israel is doing. This is well documented. Being in a war, whatever the cause, does not make it acceptable to torture/rape prisoners to death, to deliberately shoot small children, to destroy hospitals, to hold prisoners indefinitely without access to a lawyer,
to murder journalists and doctors, etc., etc. A recent Haaretz report discusses how IDF soldiers are ordered to exterminate Palestinian men on sight and then lie and claim they were combatants.

Probably a bunch. It's not like Gaza is a complete wasteland. There are survivors and hideouts. Apparently, the bombs are so intense they create craters in the ground essentially building new tunnels and hideouts for people.

DP. Everything Hamas has done has been a war crime. And there would be no war if Hamas hadn't been lobbing rockets nonstop and then launching a major attack executing and kidnapping innocent civilians by the hundreds.

If I were a Palestinian I'd be furious with Hamas for pointlessly causing all of the destruction to be rained down on my people.


Not according to the Intenational Criminal Court and the Hague. According to global standard, Israel is responsible for war crimes.

As has been demonstrated over and over again, progressives are enthusiastically for Hamas. They seem to regard 10/7 as completely justifiable. Arguments are pointless with progressive fanatics. They are lost in their TikTok groupthink drivel. There is zero empathy for those who were murdered and those who have suffered through a year and half of brutal captivity. Hamas can do no wrong for progressives. It's all justified. That's how lost in hatred progressives are these days. It's pathetic.

A few articles I've seen have said that 23 of the 33 who are supposed to be released are believed to be alive. Of course, I think that includes the Bibas children, who Hamas had previously claimed were dead.

Why haven't the IDF been able to rescue these hostages? Why are they waiting for Hamas to release? They are never going to release without demands which is what they received last time: prisoner releases. The Gaza Strip is tiny. It's not some vast land that's hard to find people in. I am surprised they haven't sent Arabic speaking intelligence agents or Palestinian prisoners on missions to to find the hostages in exchange for release. Israel's ministers are dumb.

There are mazes of tunnels that Hamas has built under Gaza. Plus, the last time they were close to rescuing hostages, Hamas shot them all as the IDF was closing in. It's unrealistic to expect that the IDF can locate and rescue all the hostages before Hamas kills them.

Of course, that's why the have been welcoming them as refugees. Not. No sane government wants to import a destabilizing influence which seeks to provoke reprisals for their terror activities, pursued in some incomprehensible effort to redress ancient grievances.

Meanwhile, in lieu of bloviation, the IDF is actually doing something to eliminate the threat. Yes, war is messy. You don't want the mess, don't start a war, something the Palestinians do over and over again, somehow thinking that "this time" the end result will be different. Predictably, they just make their situation worse. Their fighters are eliminated or rendered impotent by being jailed, their foreign aid is used to try to sustain a pointless military capability, and their civilians continue to suffer. The children who do survive are indoctrinated to believe that their best and highest purpose is to try to eliminate a neighboring state, instead of to trying to make things better for themselves and their families by working towards a peaceful future instead of nurturing old tribal grievances which date from long before they were born. Violence begets violence, a simple concept which is evidently acceptable to them. That being so, they are getting what they incite.

What a great system they have.



What are they doing to eliminate the threat? Hamas has grown since the IDF ground invasion. They're expanding the threat.


I suspect Hamas will run out of terrorists before the IDF runs out of bullets.

Not enough to take them in. They took in millions of syrian refugees. The palestinian represent a fraction of that.
This is war.
A war hamas started
This will not end until hamas surrenders.

Good piece from ProPublica about how the state department ignored their experts on human rights to continue to allow Israel to basically do whatever it wanted. It mentions that the NSC, led by Sullivan, McGurk, and Hochstein, had an outsized role in shaping Gaza policy.

Also goes back to some Israeli violations of the Leahy law prior to October 7 and discusses the Netzah Yehuda soldiers and the state department response to the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh.

This week 60 Minutes also had a segment on the state department and Gaza.

ICC also charged Hamas with war crimes. It's a kangaroo court, but a PP said that only Israel was charged, which is false.
