Israel to break tradition and run planes and trains on day of rest​

Israel has announced that trains will continue to run tomorrow on Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest.

Israel Railways do not usually offer passenger service during Shabbat, which lasts for 25 hours from Friday evening until Saturday night. The practice has been long-standing after an agreement between the ultra-Orthodox community and Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion.

"As part of the preparations for providing a response... to the home front and security needs, trains will operate during Friday night and throughout Saturday," the statement from the railway company said.

Yesterday, Israel's El Al Airlines also announced it would break a more than 40-year policy of not flying on the Jewish Shabbat to bring Israeli reservists home from around the world to serve in the army.

Reuters reported that El Al had not flown on the Shabbat since 1982 but it had received permission from rabbis who had said that preservation of life overrode other religious laws. The flights will be free of charge and paid for by El Al and large financial institutions in the US.

People on the move with their belongings in Gaza City on Friday


On the way here we’ve seen hundreds of cars, motorcycles and trucks, heavily loaded with possessions, some cars with mattresses draped over them.

People are travelling with cows, camels, sheep and donkeys.

Lots of families on foot, they’ve already had to walk several kilometres.

US to start evacuating nationals from Israel today​

The US will today fly its first repatriation flight to bring citizens home from Israel.
National Security spokesperson John Kirby said they would also be looking into other ways to help citizens leave, by land or sea.

Other countries like Argentina, France, South Korea, Australia and Canada - among others - have been evacuating their citizens from Israel throughout the week.

Japan has also announced it will send a chartered flight to Israel to evacuate Japanese citizens at the weekend. There are about 1,300 Japanese people in Israel but we're not sure how many have already left on commercial flights.

Amitabh Behar, the Oxfam international executive director, has been critical of the Israeli military order for citizens of Gaza to evacuate. In a statement he said:

The world can see that this evacuation order is both utterly inhumane and impossible; the Israeli government must rescind it immediately. We implore the international community to use its utmost influence to intervene – there are hospitals full of patients, women, children and elderly people who cannot move. Even for those who could move, there is no food, no water and little shelter. This must be stopped.

The organisation has 33 people on the ground in Gaza, all of whom are currently accounted for, but Behar highlighted their plight, saying:

Oxfam staff are sending us terrifying messages; they are sheltering in their homes or displaced with their extended families, some trying to find safety in hospitals that have already been damaged by airstrikes. They are in darkness, pleading to know what is happening. One last message received told us “Please pray for us, and forgive us if we don’t end up making it through this tough time.”
It is incumbent upon Israel to obey international humanitarian law; they must distinguish between military and civilian targets. We call on it to immediately recall this order and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Renege away, America, Iran is the king of the renegers anyway. Yeah, they want that money solely for humanitarian purposes, therefore they fund terrorism around the world. Please.
 
The other day I was reading about Mohammed Deif... his history, his moniker, and that he stays alive by being protected... for YEARS. 'Just look at the fat-cat faces of Hamas compared to the Palestinians who have been living in Gaza for YEARS... without the basic life necessities and no education. Hamas leaders have never helped Palestinians and never will.

Where do they expect these people to go? Mostly women and children. Egypt doesn't want them. It would be like telling the city of San Francisco to empty out. Where would they go?
 

Forget the lie about EU money for Hamas. For ordinary Palestinians, the aid is a lifeline​

Martin Konečný

[…]

Even Israel has claimed no evidence of EU money going into Hamas pockets. On the contrary, Israeli officials have always quietly encouraged international donors to continue the flow of aid to Palestinian territories, including to Gaza, because it effectively subsidises Israel’s occupation and blockade, and has helped to ensure relative stability. If the aid flow stops, Palestinians will be again the ones to pay the price, with even more crushing poverty and human pain.

They are just collateral damage. No one cares.

It says to go south. I'm sure the people are well aware that there are tunnels and bunkers under their homes, that weapons are in their schools and hospitals, that terrorist are firing said weapons from atop those buildings.

If what people are saying is true, and the Palestinians really don't support Hamas, then they will get the heck out of the way and let Israel destroy them.
