1) That number is given by Hamas, who knows that the true number is 2) Many could be 16-18 year old Hamas fighters, and 3) Hamas hides in schools, hospital, apartment buildings, etc. to hide behind their women and children.

I went on a 16 hour hunger strike today to protest not being a breakfast person and being too busy to eat lunch until 3.
12 hour hunger strike? 😂💀

G-d bless them. 🇮🇱💪🏼🇮🇱
It would have been so much easier for Israel to bomb the hospital, but to minimize civilian casualties, they put these brave fighters in harm’s way, and they got the job done.
@HenMazzig
The medication for the hostages was agreed to as a deal in exchange for Israel delivering medications into Gaza for hospitals, is that correct? Did Israel enable medications to get into Gaza hospitals, and then Hamas did not allow the hostages to get their medications?

Who’s gonna tell that guy he needs to give up his phone, USB drives, Waze, his right to chemotherapy should he ever get cancer, SodaStream, and ocular implants should he ever get eye issues if he wants to boycott Israeli products?

Demand that they free the hostages. That is the only way to solve the Gazan humanitarian crisis.
And why are you not standing up for the hostages? We’d all like a response, please.

Are you joking? Oct 7 was on a Jewish holiday (Simchat Torah). The Yom Kippur War was on… shocker… Yom Kippur.
Arabs have attacked Jews on Jewish holidays plenty of times.
Honestly, I’m embarrassed for you.

The PA knows which Palestinians are in Israeli prisons, it’s not a secret. Israel gave life-saving brain surgery to Sinwar while he was in an Israeli prison… with a top neurosurgeon, not a veterinarian, and using anesthesia, unlike the treatment Mia got. Sinwar then went on to

His family likely left Iraq because of the pogroms that were happening (example: Farhud of 1941). Antisemitism in Baghdad got so bad in the 1900s that the # of Jews went from 150,000 ~100 years ago to ~zero now. Israel was one of the only countries that would take Jews in.
@AvivaKlompas
No bid.
This releases a potential 1,500 new Sinwars and gives them so much of a ‘pause’ that when Israel resumes fighting it will look like they’re starting a new war. Bad look.
@aziz0nomics
Yes, they are indeed endorsing piracy. I think you could yell anything at that crowd and they’d yell it back.
Ironic that they’re yelling it on colonised Native American land, that they happily live on.
@HilzFuld
After watching this, I don’t understand how anyone can be pressuring Israel to accept a 2 state solution now in order to end this war. That’s like pressuring me to accept that I will be given telekinetic powers. As much as I would like that, it’s impossible right now.

Oh wait… there weren’t any protests.

So… I guess no one died in the gas chambers in the Holocaust then either, since none of them came forward to speak about it (after they’d been murdered)?
No one died on the Titanic either. Not one person who drowned that fateful night gave a credible interview. Shameful.

1) We’ll see what numbers both sides acknowledge after the conflict is over. Every innocent Palestinian life lost is a tragedy and I wish Hamas wouldn’t use civilians as human shields. 2) It’s not a claim, it’s a hypothesis, and it’s not baseless, as of the Hamas-cited deaths,

I have said and will continue to say that it is an utter tragedy when any baby is killed, including every single baby in Gaza. Shame on Hamas for hiding behind their civilian population which results in more deaths, and kudos to the IDF for trying to diminish civilian casualties.

I’m one of those Jews! Oh, but I’m not still there … my family on both sides were ethnically cleansed from Iraq in the 50s and 60s - citizenships revoked, assets seized (including property deeds in multiple countries), and now parts of my family are thousands of miles apart from

Legit insane. The Jews have gotten kicked out of every Muslim majority nation in the region. They need Israel to stay majority Jewish. 1 Jewish nation. There are over 50 Muslim ones (thanks to colonizing). Israel can’t let 2.3M Palestinian Arabs in - 80% of whom support Hamas,

Just no.

For those less familiar with the plight of Iraqi Jews, this is a helpful article on understanding some of the background of how the Jews were kicked out of Iraq:
For years now, there has been evidence that UNRWA schools teach hate to young children, breeding the next generation of terrorists.
Many UNRWA celebrated Oct 7, and at least a dozen participated in the atrocities.
UNRWA has also woefully failed at its job for 75 years - they
🚨Today, I introduced a bill that would push to permanently DISBAND UNRWA.
UNRWA is funneling American tax dollars to terrorism. And now we know that a significant part of the UNRWA workforce were participants in the October 7th attack.
No more.
@IdoHalbany
The left has *always* been the source of antisemitism?
The right wing upper crust of America wouldn’t let Jews into its country clubs until recently (some still don’t), and in general there was, and still is, a lot of antisemitism in red states. The KKK pulled pretty Republican,
@HamasAtrocities
Sinwar was released in a prisoner-for-hostage swap. 10:1 is a really high ratio, and a 6 week ceasefire will give Hamas time to regroup and get a lot more international pressure to not start again.
I don’t understand why the deal isn’t: release all hostages now and you get a 2-3

Yeah, that was awful. And it was the act of a couple of extremists. Every country has those. There were numerous other peace treaties and the Arabs rejected each one. And why is no one going after Jordan for land? Nearly 80% of the land Palestinian Arabs lived on is in Jordan,
I’ll say it louder for people in the back: RAPE IS NOT RESISTANCE!
Bewildering why anyone is surprised at Israel’s response, particularly as Hamas leadership has called Oct 7 a ‘dress rehearsal.’
The report by the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel details:
✖️ Multiple instances of gang rape by terrorists.
✖️ Rapes were frequently carried out in front of the spouses, relatives or friends of the victims.
✖️ Women, girls and men were all targeted for sexual

You have a typo in your first paragraph.. I think you meant to say “ The way Hamas stores rockets in hospitals and mosques, hides behind women and children, and fires rockets from schools is creating massive obstacles to the distribution of humanitarian aid inside Gaza.”

No, this is the moment for the U.S. to pressure Hamas, and Iran, Qatar and Egypt to pressure Hamas, to release the hostages and surrender. Then all civilians will be safe and this war can end.
