This is so disturbing. I just now stumbled across the video of the Israeli soldier you mentioned earlier. Beyond horrific. MOOThey are now parading around with the bodies of dead civilians laying in the back of vehicles in Gaza. Some of them are Israeli women.
The numbers are going to be staggering. Six confirmed, but I’ve seen upwards of 30 bodies so far. There are also places where the Israeli military hasn’t yet reached, where terrorists are in control.8m ago![]()

Joop den Uyl was a leader of the Dutch Labor Party. From 1973 to 1977, he served as prime minister of the most left-wing coalition government the Netherlands has ever known. His biographer, Anet Bleich is a well-known Dutch Jewish journalist, and her book attracted significant attention in the Netherlands.Israel While Den Uyl was in office, the Netherlands made what probably is its single greatest contribution to Israel. During the Yom Kippur War, Israel ran out of certain types of munitions. Its ambassador to the Netherlands, Chanan Bar-On, tried to obtain them there. The Dutch government did not initially accede to his request. Bar-On then approached the defense minister, Henk Vredeling (Labor), via a high-ranking official named Henk Beereboom (306). Beereboom did not inform his immediate boss, Den Uyl. Vredeling had told him that if he acquiesced to the Israeli request, he would do so without involving the prime minister or the foreign minister. Vredeling asked his deputy minister, Bram Stemerdink (Labor), for an opinion and they agreed to supply ammunition behind the backs of the rest of the cabinet -Al Jazeera’s Rob Reynolds says ..... “I spoke by text with an acquaintance in Tel Aviv. She says she was hurrying to get into a bomb shelter. The fact that several villages including some towns were attacked and captured – this is something that has never happened before,” Reynolds said.
“This took a lot of planning, strategising from Hamas,” he noted.
“It is also one year to the day of the October War of 1973, when Israel was taken by surprise by Egypt and Syria. It appears maybe there is some symbolism there,” he added.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza has issued a call for blood donations at hospitals in the besieged enclave.
