Israel - Palestinian militants launch massive attack, 7 Oct 2023 #11

[Vern]

I am disgusted by such inflammatory and provocative tweets.

Not outraged???
Really?

They are provocative. No more so than "From the River to the Sea" is inflammatory and provoctative against Israel's very existence though - the people chanting that don't seem to be too outraged by the events of 7 October and he's calling them out on it. That's his point. I'm disgusted every time I hear that chant; it advocates for genocide of the Israeli people.

Is this the one you mean?

Unsettled: A Global Study of Settlements in Occupied Territories

It is a legal analysis from 2017.

Oh geez...My bad...Sorry Light Night Typo...
There is a documentary called Unsettled.

I'll read the document.

I had also run across a UN Security Council Resolution that pertained to Israel/Palestine. (I think it did)
It was not easy reading. I don't know if I can find it again.

So
Does it mean it is OK to sink to the level of hated enemy?

Police to allow anti-war rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday night after High Court petition​

The police agree to allow a demonstration calling for a ceasefire in Gaza to take place in Tel Aviv this Saturday night, after the Association for Civil Rights (ACRI) in Israel petitioned the High Court of Justice demanding it order the police to issue a permit for the rally.

The Tel Aviv Police Department initially refused to authorize the event, organized by the predominantly Arab Hadash party, on the grounds it could lead to civil disturbances, may harm the feelings of evacuees from southern Israel currently residing in Tel Aviv, and that the police lacked the manpower to secure the rally.

[...]

During the court hearing today, the police agree to allow the demonstration to go ahead, but at a different location than originally planned and with a limit on the number of participants.

IDF says it has ‘clear information’ linking Shifa Hospital to Hamas-held hostages​

The IDF says it has “clear information” indicating a connection between Hamas activity in Shifa Hospital and the hostages, as well as “new findings” indicating a Hamas tunnel network under the complex.

It says it is investigating laptops and other technological devices that were found in the medical center. On one of the laptops, a background showed an image of Pvt. Ori Megidish before she was captured, the IDF says.

The IDF says that during scans today “new findings were found indicating significant underground infrastructure in the hospitals, and our forces are working to uncover them.”

Thai Muslim politicians said they had received assurances from Hamas that all of the Thai hostages being held would be among those released if mediators succeed in brokering a truce in Gaza, Reuters reports.

The Islamist militants took an estimated 240 people hostage on 7 October, and Thailand’s foreign ministry says 25 Thais were among those abducted, and 39 were among those killed that day.

More than 30,000 Thais were working in agriculture in Israel, according to Thai government estimates, and more than 7,200 have been repatriated since the crisis erupted.

Lepong Syed, the president of the Thai-Iran alumni association, told reporters in Bangkok’s parliament building:

Any ceasefire either three days or five days … Hamas will release hostages, including all Thais being held, which they promised.
This could be in less than 10 days or in the next two to three days.

Lepong is part of a team formed by Thai Muslim politicians, headed by the parliamentary speaker, Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, that has reportedly been in contact with Hamas since October.

The article @SouthAussie attached clearly identifies and puts blame on IDF.

Jawdat found his brother, Ahmed, in Deir el-Balah [Abdelhakim Abu Riash/Al Jazeera]

At one point, Jawdat and a few others were stopped by Israeli soldiers, who made them stand with their hands up in the air, holding their IDs. One man scratched his head, Jawdat said, and was called over by the Israeli soldiers. He is not sure what happened to him after that.

At another point, “they took about 20 men and stripped them naked, beat them, humiliated them, then released them. It’s like whenever the soldiers get bored, they would pick one to bully and humiliate”.

My post was clearly about the shooting by 'snipers'.

They do not identify that Israeli's are actually "who" did the shooting. And, as posted in here previosy, Hamas has been shown to be shooting their own citizens who attempted to move soutwards to safety.

The IDF IS manning the corridor --- that doesn't mean that Hamas snipers aren't still taretting innocent people who are attempting to move. THEY are still in the area too - often hiding out, or sheltering behid those innocent civilians.

Al-Shifa hospital director: 'People are screaming from thirst'​

Caroline Hawley
Diplomatic correspondent

The director of Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza has given a press statement describing conditions at the hospital.

He says the hospital has now run out of oxygen and water: “The conditions are tragic and those in the hospital are screaming from thirst.”

He describes tanks surrounding the hospital, drones overhead and Israeli soldiers moving inside – particularly in the emergency department.

He says Israeli troops have blown up Al-Shifa’s main water line. At this stage, the BBC isn't able to independently verify what's going on on the ground at the hospital.

There are more than 650 patients at the site, 500 medical staff and more than 5,000 displaced people, he says, though doctors can’t now move between departments.

“Sniping operations continue, no-one can move from one building to another, and we have lost communication with our colleagues,” he says.

He says Israeli forces had removed some bodies from the hospital – where four dialysis patients are now in critical condition.

Israeli Air Force chief says IAF has hit ‘thousands of terrorists’ since October 7​

The chief of the Israeli Air Force, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, vows that Israel will get to every Hamas terrorist.

He says in a statement to the media that since October 7, when “we did not fulfill our duties,” the IAF has been working “nonstop.”

“We are hitting Hamas on the ground and below the ground, we have hit thousands of terrorists, and we will reach all of them,” Bar says.

“The Air Force as the strategic arm of the State of Israel is prepared and operates all over the Middle East, in every required arena, anywhere,” he adds.

Israeli forces said they remain active both "inside and in the vicinity" of Al-Shifa, Gaza's largest hospital,after launching a raid early Wednesday morning. Israel is under growing international pressure to uncover proof of what it has previously described as a Hamas command and control center in tunnels under the vast complex – a claim denied by the militant group and hospital officials.

IDF operation at Al-Shifa hospital goes on as hundreds of patients remain inside​

Soldiers are searching building to building at the Al-Shifa hospital complex, as hundreds of patients and medical remain inside, a spokesperson for the Israeli military said in a statement today.

The mission is “shaped by our understanding that there is well-hidden terrorist infrastructure in the complex,” they said, adding that soldiers were “proceeding one building at a time, searching each floor, all while hundreds of patients and medical staff remain in the complex.”

The IDF started its military operation at the hospital on Wednesday, in search of what it called a “terrorist cell.”
