This is the reality of what Israel is doing (part 2)

@Littlebowiepeep that's the opposite of what Israel are saying. They'll go in anyway to 'destroy Hamas' never mind who they've decided are Hamas.

He expected a ceasefire by last Monday too.

He also said there is no red line, he will never stop funding Isreal which seems to be the case for most of the international community so I can't see what they have to lose. (From Netanyahu's point of view I mean).

No change there is it. Never accepting responsibility for any of their actions.

Hopeful if true

US does not expect imminent invasion of Rafah

The Biden administration does not anticipate the Israeli forces to imminently expand their operations into Rafah, according to two US officials quoted by CNN.

The officials said the administration “has yet to see any kind of humanitarian or evacuation plan from the Israeli government that seeks to ensure the safety of civilians in Rafah before launching a military operation there”.

Open Arms still in Cyprus - new reason for the delay

Gaza food aid ship stuck at Cyprus with 'technical difficulties

Do hope it gets underway soon

COGAT claims that 225 trucks of aid were 'inspected and transferred into Gaza' yesterday

I've got a better idea.

Why don't you lobby Hamas and ask them to release the hostages, then it could be all over by the end of the week?

From Haaretz today:
A video of an IDF soldier saying he shot an unarmed manhiding under a bed during an operation in the Shatti refugee camp was published in Al-Jazeera. In response, the IDF said IDF forces had been operating "in a complex combat area under fire" when "a shot was fired at an unarmed man suspected of being a terrorist and was moving towards the soldier who came to scan the house. The circumstances of the case are clear."

Note that the IDF are not trying to deny this happened. They just assert they didn’t do anything wrong.

An old unarmed man in a bombed out building.

This makes me so angry

The IDF have no way of knowing if the footage has been 'doctored'

Yes, of course they do. I have seen it done by technical investigators.

Another question that needs answering is why the man was in an area where the IDF were operating?

There are Palestinian people all over the place where the IDF are operating. They IDF have even regularly bombed exactly where the IDF have told them to go. The BBC did an investigation about this at one point.

Before the IDF enter an area they do leaflet drops to tell civilians to evacuate. They are also told that if they remain then they will be classed as 'enemy' and could be shot.

Each and every time? Rubbish.
And what if a person cannot get away or have anywhere to go. What if the IDF then bombs the area the leaflet said to go? ( See previous o paragraph.)

How Littlebowiepeep do you think over 30,000. people, (75% women and ) have been killed; 73000 wounded; thousands more under the rubble, have got killed? Because it’s their fault they didn’t get away from the thoughtful IDF?

Instead of broadcasting this all over the internet the best course of action would have been to leave the equipment where it was for the IDF to collect later.
Then a full investigation could be carried out.

And do you really think it would be? Or that the public would be told about it?
Ir that the IDF would sanction the soldier?

A very bad start to Ramadan. Police beat with batons praying people at the Al-Aqsa gate before the first Taraweeh prayer.

The Israeli occupation forces prevent dozens of Palestinians from entering Al Aqsa mosque to perform Taraweeh prayers for the first night of #Ramadan

That's awful @EasterIssland. Not just that but I have also seen they have slaughtered sheep so that the Palestinians cannot offer them as a sacrifice ready for Ramadhan tomorrow.

That's horrific.

Open Arms is still docked in Cyprus apparently being held up by some kind of jetty being constructed in Gaza

The food aid on board the barge it's towing has been funded by UAE - ?the permission to land food aid on the beach story

Scenes broadcasted by Israeli soldiers' accounts on social media show them starving, displacing, and uprooting thousands of Palestinian civilians from their land

Thank you, @BelleHathor

We are in the midst of probably one of the biggest Psychological War operations right now. All assets have been deployed online in order to manage the narrative.

Western countries are fighting to stop people realising what a big bunch of hypocrites they are. They have stood by, armed and protected the Israeli government whilst it commits plausible crimes against humanity.

The whole fabric of so called "Western democracy" has been ripped apart. We were raised to care about the vulnerable, to stand up for what's right, to be the voice of the unheard, but on Palestine we must be quiet? Nah. Our moral compass, values and love for humanity is too strong!

That's why it seems like there's been a marked increase in posters trying to justify the Israeli governments actions. They've lost the online war and all races, left and right are saying no more. A lot of the "heartless" posts are deliberately designed to hurt, demoralise and waste time arguing back.

I know it's painful, but
be heartened that whilst they're doing it to us, at least they're not able to disturb Palestinians by posting "But Hamas" type comments in their replies.

That theory had more plot holes than a Hollyoaks storyline.

My fav one was the one that suggested that hind was killed by a tank driven by Hamas

You’re right. Let’s kill everyone that way you make sure 100% Hamas are killed.

If people said these things about other groups of people, they would be roundly criticised. Yet people feel it's entirely socially acceptable to say these things about Palestinians and Muslims.

I'm increasingly concerned that there is no safe place in the West for my family.

I'm really sorry that you've had to see this sort of hateful nonsense again

There is so much personalised cruelty and some posters who treat it like some kind of weird sport

Do take care

I wish people could just take their hate elsewhere.

I used to hope that people could try to consider that their words might hurt others, but actually I think some people actually get pleasure or validation from hurting people like me. So now I just wish they'd go away.

Or the many other innocent civilians.
