How on earth can this be justified? Organisations like MAP which have worked for years and are fully registered. Another example of Israels inhumanity.

Couldn't be bothered to read the whole post @ilovepuppies2019 but I will repeat that all the organisations together who will be unable to operate in Gaza in 60 days only represent 1% of the aid currently coming into Gaza.

So this sentence we have lists of posters calmly justifying the end to most of what remains of the aid in Gaza is wrong.

As was already explained It is not about the percentage of aid ** these organisations including MSF run or support most of Gaza's field hospitals and primary healthcare centres, emergency shelter responses, water and sanitation services, nutrition stabilisation centres for children with acute malnutrition, that is what is at issue here and why so many foreign ministers came together to issue a statement condemning Israel’s actions.

Currently, MSF supports one in five of Gaza’s hospital beds and assists one in three mothers during childbirth

israel’s actions will add to the suffering of the women and children of Gaza

@ilovepuppies2019 I agree. And of course in a decade or so I strongly suspect those posters who have constantly supported Israel’s horrific behaviour will vehemently declare they were always “against the genocide” 🙄😡

Think what you want Missy, I won't be calling it a genocide because it isn't one and I will always support Israel, even while criticising certain things done by their current government, certain members of the IDF or by the Settlers.

I can't believe that the situation has reached such awful levels that we have lists of posters calmly justifying the end to most of what remains of the aid in Gaza. Apparently a hand wave and 'security concerns' justifies the end of whatever medical treatment and food can be scaped together. Medical sans frontieres have stated that they're supporting almost all the remaining working hospitals and medical facilities.

There is no possible excuse to justify the removal of these NGOs. Of course these organisations understand how registration and war zones operate. They know what is needed much more effectively than the Israeli Government. It's just unfathomable that posters are prepared to believe that almost every major NGO couldn't get themselves sufficiently organised to pass a perfectly reasonable registration requirement. Of course that's not what's happened. Israeli have devised yet another way of preventing aid of desperate Palestinians. As all non Israeli media have been threatened, attacked or banned, aid workers are the only method of reliable information reaching the International Community. Israel need to put a stop to that so this serves two purposes. This comes after consistently blocking almost any aid from entering the country, banning organisations distributing food, targeting refuge camps, destroying medial infrastructure, deliberately targeting medical workers and allowing many members of the Israeli government to call for the death or removal of the Palestinian people.

This is blatant genocide and perhaps the greatest horror is that the Western World won't do anything no matter what new atrocities Netanyahu commits. Israeli's position is too convenient and they're too afraid of Trump. Any attempts to acknowledge this and or plead for Gazan's to receive aid are calmy dismissed as antisemitism. It's such a tragedy.

Hamas were the rulers of Gaza before October 7th so yes am sure most Palestinian journalists met with, interviewed and were maybe even hugged by members of Hamas, not a crime punishable by assassination part of their job

Edited

Friends of Hamas are enemies of Israel and vice versa. Hamas were a terrorist death cult long before October 7th so to be friends with them is to support what they stand for and what they want which is to destroy Jews.

Yes many jewish people are lovely nobody on here has referred to Jewish people except you, the discussion is about the Israeli governments actions, actions that many many Jewish people oppose

The journalist you support in turn supports Hamas and there is photographic evidence of his close relationship with them which proves what the idf said about him is true. Hamas as you know are dedicated to killing Jewish people - lovely people you say, at the same time as defending Hamas sympathisers.

Jewish people are real people too, they have families and children and it's sick to me that people like this journalist could cuddle up to Hamas.

Journalists meet people that is what they do, as stated previously Israel has provided zero credible evidence to back up their smears
once more “According to BBC News, The Guardian, and The Economist, the Israeli military has not provided sufficient evidence for their accusation.”

Of a journalist meeting someone, I don’t know how to respond someone who denies anything but what comes out of the idfs mouth, but you do you @Twiglets1

He didn't just meet Hamas leaders, if you look at the link I posted they are hugging and clearly very close.

To add @Everexpanding it is irrelevant that this man had 2 children.

At best he was a Hamas sympathiser which means he didn't care about Jewish people - including children - being targeted and killed by them.

Twiglets1 · 04/01/2026 16:18

I just don't know how to respond to someone that ignores photographic evidence.

Shame on you repeating baseless claims

On 31 July 2025, UN Special Rapporteur Irene Khan condemned repeated threats and smear campaigns by the Israeli army against Al-Sharif, calling them dangerous attempts to silence his reporting on the war in Gaza. She highlighted how Al-Sharif, described as "the last surviving journalist of Al Jazeera in northern Gaza", had been accused without evidence of being a "Hamas terrorist", placing his life at serious risk. Khan stressed that, while Israel bars international reporters from entering Gaza, it simultaneously targets and undermines local journalists, who serve as the world's "eyes" on atrocities.

The Israeli military confirmed they had targeted Al-Sharif, reiterating their claim that he was a Hamas fighter.According to BBC News, The Guardian, and The Economist, the Israeli military has not provided sufficient evidence for their accusation.

The Guardian also questioned how Al-Sharif could "have juggled a military command role with regular broadcast duties in one of the most heavily surveilled places on Earth"

The UN,respected NGOs such as MSF, news sources such as the BBC and the Guardian, Israeli human rights orgs such as Betselem are not Hamas affiliated

You seem to believe every word that comes out of Gaza from local “journalists” & we both know some of them are not impartial and some even photographed with Hamas leaders. Some say even that’s not evidence so I don’t know what would be.

By who? Israel? Have you watched Breaking Ranks yet - the IDF soldiers on it say you can blow up a building or kill someone and just say they are Hamas or feel threatened. They admit that it is used to cover up war crimes.

If you are in denial that some so called journalists were found to have links to Hamas then it’s hopefully debating with you.

Which I already know it is to be fair, from previous comments you’ve made.
