Have you tried releasing the hostages?.
What is one supposed to do to stop the madness? People have protested, written letters, advocated, resigned, been fired, camped, lost degrees, filed for court ruling, demonstrated beyond any unreasonable doubt Israel's genocidal intent, and still, the killing machine is on.

UNRWA didn’t do background checks. UNIFIL didn’t see Hezbollah activity. The Red Cross doesn’t visit Jews. AMNESTY for everyone but Israel. Media still consider these orgs impartial, objective, authoritative. Trustworthy. You don’t need another source on what they say. 🤷🏻.

In the past 24 hours you have put out more statements than you have over the past 18 years. In that time, you let Hezbollah amass more weapons in your vicinity than most countries have.
Statement:. Last night, a peacekeeper at UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura was hit by gunfire due to ongoing military activity nearby. He underwent surgery at our Naqoura hospital to remove the bullet and is currently stable. We do not yet know the origin of the fire.

Everything that’s been happening—Hague Court, ICC, Egypt and Turkey pressure, UN Security Council, university protests, Hezbollah etc—has been about one thing: getting Israel to stop destroying Hamas, to not attack Rafah, to let Hamas live to fight another day. This is what real.

In 1967, Israel defeated 3 Arab armies in 6 days. In 1973, after initial shock, Israel routed 2 armies in 18 days. Now, after 60 days of war, Hamas battalions in Gaza still fighting. The difference: Guerrilla tunnel warfare & cynical strategy using civilian human shields to.

@mihaschw I spoke to foreign journalists who were blaming Israel for not allowing them into Gaza. I asked them why don’t they go in through Egyptian Rafah? There’s a whole highway underneath. Bottom line: they don’t really want to go in. They want to sit in TLV bars and blame Israel.

Not one mention of any tunnels underneath those craters or Hamas’ use of civilian shields. Nada. Nothing. It’s as if Israel was just dropping big bombs on civilians, the word “Hamas” doesn’t even appear in this thread at all. Oh also no mention of Oct7. Context matters indeed.
When a 2,000-pound bomb detonates, it creates a blastwave that can harm people up to 3,000 feet away. Our Visual Investigation suggests Israel routinely dropped this bomb in the area south of Wadi Gaza - the place it had repeatedly told civilians in Gaza to move to for safety.

Lebanon, a sovereign nation ruled by a militia, launched a war against Israel unprovoked on October 8. I don’t see any security council emergency session to stop Lebanon. I don’t see the UN enforcing its own resolution (1701) which ended the previous war. It’s sad, but.

Netanyahu has accused the IDF of withholding intelligence from him and has reportedly set up a separate intel body. He accused the Shin Bet, Police, and Attorney General of plotting his downfall. He’s fanning the flames of internal divisions. That’s it, no punchline.

Kibbutz Be’eri sponsored many Gaza children cancer patients at Tel Hashomer oncology department. Many.
The kibbutzim that hamas attacked and committed mass murder at, were communities of the most pro Palestinian, left wing, peace advocates. They employed people from gaza, would drive them to and from hospitals for medical treatment. Would do anything for peace. Now they’re dead.

Word on the street is the Shi'ites are going to try hit us overnight Monday (Tisha B'Av) as a not-too-subtle reminder to Israelites that we've lost sovereignty here twice before, and that 3rd time's a charm. Although at the same time they'll continue to say we're not indigenous.

Smart. Instead of bombing a Beirut hospital, the IDF just advertised that there’s hundreds of millions of $$$ and gold right underneath the hospital.
“Tonight, I am going to declassify intelligence on a site that we did not strike—where Hezbollah has millions of dollars in gold and cash—in Hassan Nasrallah’s bunker. Where is the bunker located? Directly under Al-Sahel Hospital in the heart of Beirut.”. Listen to IDF Spox.
