Busy day….
We have a post here on two more hostages released. also……
US sending more anti-missile units to Israel….
Palestinian’s report several thousand dead from Israeli airstrikes in Gaza …
Under HUGE International pressure….
It appears that Israel may NOT actually move into GAZA on the ground after-all?…..
Maybe?
There is also HUGE pressure to allow more humanitarian aid for those in Gaza….
It’s already been over two weeks and Israeli military causalities would be expected as well as the lives of the 200 hostages still being held?
(How long can the Israeli economy run with 300, 000 people in uniform and a LOT as citizen soliders?)
Will Hezbollah NOT get involved?
The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said more than 5,700 people, nearly half of them children, had been killed since Israel began its response to the Oct. 7 attack, a figure that cannot be independently verified.
Here is what else to know:
-
One of the two Hamas hostages released on Monday, Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, told reporters in Tel Aviv that she had “gone through hell.” The other released hostage was identified by Israel as Nurit Cooper, 79. Last week, Hamas set free an Israeli-American mother and her daughter, but it and other groups are believed to still be holding about 220 people captured during the Oct. 7 raid.
-
Six hospitals across the Gaza Strip have had to shut down because they are out of fuel, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday. While some aid convoys have made it into Gaza, humanitarian groups have called for fuel to be added to the food, water and medicine being sent in. But Israel has balked at deliveries of fuel because it says Hamas could use it for military purposes.
-
Israeli military officials say they are well prepared for a ground assault in Gaza, but it remains unclear when and if such an invasion will occur. American officials have said Israel’s military is not yet ready with a plan for a successful invasion, and have also urged Israel to give more time for hostage negotiations and aid deliveries.
-
The U.S. secretary of state, Antony J. Blinken, told the Security Council that the White House supported humanitarian pauses to allow aid to reach Gaza and civilians to evacuate. He also urged council members to use their influence to prevent Iran from spreading the war to additional fronts in the region, given its support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other militia groups. At least 33 Americans were among the victims of the Oct. 7 attacks, he said….
Maybe you should stop predicting what might or might not happen. You do not have a good track record.
People like you are on the record of not wanting Israel to take steps to defend itself. You could care less if Israel survives or not. Others, are impatient that Israel has not launched a ground invasion yet and think they missed their best chance.
Maybe though military leaders actually are trying to put together the best possible plan, in consultation with U.S. advice etc, because of course there are many complexities involving civilians and hostages and the sheer enormity of what the mission would involve. If there is a chance to get more hostages freed without any sort of concession, then of course that has to be considered, but that can only last for so long.
Israel is likely to go into Gaza sooner or later. Members of the United Nations and people like james will attack them for that no matter what.They have no choice however. The Israeli people will insist on it. There is a saying that “revenge is best served cold” but nothing about this is about “revenge.” It is about eliminating an active threat. Hamas cannot continue to exist, no matter how messy it will be in getting rid of them.
For generations, Jews around the world have wished there was something they could have done to stop Hitler. They had no state then. No military and sadly the world did not care early on about what was happening to them in Europe. This time, Jews are able to actually make good on “Never Again” , at least as it relates to Hamas.
Actually CG?
They have been abck and for SEVERAL times…..
Doing the same thing and expecting different results has NOT worked….
They NEED to sit down and help the Palestains get rid of Hamas again and then allow them to for a strong state with good relations with Israel…
THAT would require NO Bibi Netanyahu….
On your review of history?
U might want to review Polish and other countries vs Hitler…..
I beg to differ on ur view of revenge….
Surigal operation’s against Hamas would NOT result in 5,000+ deaths, 16,000 injuries with hostages still held…
And Yes I get stuff wrong like everbody else….
But I DO get somethings Right also…
We ALL do…..
He, he, he….
Even U….
You get everything wrong. Literally nobody here respects you or how you present yourself. Yet you stick with this for some odd reason. It is probably wrong of me to even engage with you but for now. Almost nobody here does anymore. It is helping me get some frustration out because you are such a symbol of the problems that face this country. . I am trying to get it out of my system so I can “go away” again.
You have such a nice looking family. From what I remember seeing on Instagram, they seem to really care about you too. You should consider yourself lucky. I do not know why year after year you chose to spend all this time here angering people and causing bewilderment and thinking you are doing well at something that you are really so bad at, when you could be spending this time with your family.
I am also self-aware enough to realize that I should not allow myself to feel this way about you. I will regret all of this engagement this has been a very heart-wrenching difficult month since October 7, and I am not in any condition to go take to the streets and march and I am not going to start cursing out random strangers on social media platforms.
CG?
I do this because U and others come here to discuss, debate and enjoy the bacxk and forth….
Been doing it since 2009…..
Proud of it as I am of my family Thank You….
And proud of the group that come here comment ….
The complaining come’s with the place…..
And I’m gonna keep doing this till I can’t…..
He, he, he….
Even with ur digs…..
Catch everyone in the morning…..
Take care CG……
