Barak: Must seek ‘all for all’ deal; hostages were abandoned by Israel on Oct. 7, mustn’t be sacrificed now​

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/barak-must-seek-all-for-all-deal-hostages-were-abandoned-by-israel-on-oct-7-mustnt-be-sacrificed-now/

“Former prime minister Ehud Barak says Israel should have announced from the start of the war that it was ready for an “all for all” deal under which it would be prepared to release all Palestinian security prisoners in return for the freeing of all hostages held in Gaza.”

I noticed that its mostly foreign platforms giving him airtime. Must have been a boring ten years for him.

Reuters report: Israel has informed Jordan, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates of its intention to create a buffer zone in Gaza after the end of the war. Saudi Arabia is also aware of the Israeli plan

Ceasefire talks have collapsed - source​

Ceasefire talks have collapsed, a source close to the negotiations in Doha has told the BBC.

Despite airstrikes resuming early on Friday morning after a week-long truce, talks were still ongoing in the background in the hopes of further extending the temporary pause in fighting.

GeoConfirmed Update.We’re currently conducting an extensive investigation, the largest in GeoConfirmed’s history: We’re analyzing all the footage from the 07 October terrorist attacks in Israel.So far we have analyzed and geolocated footage containing 150+ deceased Israeli Civilians, 25+ Israeli Hostages and 750+ involved Hamas members and Palestinian civilians. Some of these videos are the most gruesome that we have seen across all the conflicts which we cover. Our investigation aims to thoroughly geolocate every frame of the footage, detailing each location from where the breaches occurred, to where Israeli civilians were killed, and the aftermath of the attack.It’s crucial to emphasize that anyone diminishing or denying the October 7th terrorist attack is disregarding the reality and severity of these incidents.For instance, the video below depicts one of the areas where Hamas breached the border wall near Nir Oz [31.301771, 34.374029]:A motorbike with a hostage (!) is entering Gaza, while numerous individuals are observed crossing the border towards Israel.

Israel-Hamas war: How Sinwar plotted destruction hiding in plain sight

Born in the Khan Yunis refugee camp, Sinwar, 61, was made Hamas' leader in Gaza in 2017. Since Oct. 7, Israel has considered him and other leaders to be "living on borrowed time."

m.jpost.com

“Last year, Yahya Sinwar told a rally in Gaza that Hamas would deploy terrorists and rockets in a fierce strike on Israel, the nation that imprisoned him for 23 years before he was freed and rose to a leadership role in the terrorist group.

The speech by Hamas' leader in Gaza to thousands of cheering supporters bore the hallmarks of crowd-pleasing hyperbole. Less than a year later, Israel discovered it was no idle threat, when Hamas terrorists broke through Gaza's fence, killing around 1,200 people and taking more than 200 hostage.

"We will come to you, God willing, in a roaring flood. We will come to you with endless rockets, we will come to you in a limitless flood of soldiers, we will come to you with millions of our people, like the repeating tide," he said during his December 14 address.“

My goodness the hostage doesn't look like they are awake/alive. Their leg is just flopping like the person has zero control over it.

As horrific as the events of October 7th were - SJP are trying to create the impression that it’s a reasonable response to Israeli oppression’Daniel Schlessinger Partner, Jaszczuk P.C. and lead attorney representing the Boim family describes the war on the 'Hamas Lobby'

https://twitter.com/x/status/1730330580066136500

As this attorney says, Students for Justice in Palestine is operating on most of our college and university campuses in the U.S. and they are part of the overall Hamas lobby. The U.S. Department of Education needs to stop giving support to universities and colleges that allow these pro-terrorist organizations to operate on our campuses with faculty support. Hopefully Congress will take this on in the new year, we can write to our Congress members and insist they look into this and take action. I see it on our campus every day, especially growing in hatred for Israel over the last few years with the BDS movement (Boycott, Divest from, and Sanction Israel) which is faculty led and student supported academic boycott off Israel and divestment from Israel companies. University administration at the highest level stays silent, they fear a faculty revolt against them, usually a Faculty Senate vote of no confidence in the university's leadership.

We need to call it out and name it for what it is. It's anti-semitism at levels that in the past led up to the Holocaust.

I'm replying to the article and this statement.

"The threats were made as part of a campaign intended to interrupt synagogue operations, and there did not appear to be any actual danger to the targets, says CSI Director Mitch Silber."

I strongly disagree, minimizing the terror of being told that your people are all going to be killed, repeatedly having your lives disrupted, and knowing you are hated for your religion and ethnicity. The goal of this "campaign" is not to interrupt synagogue operations. And, it's not a "campaign", its terrorism.

The joy they are experiencing is what really got to me. Many hostages were taken this way. Yocheved Lifschitz said she was taken this way.

I thought i saw it all.Today, for the first time since October 7 - i received footage that is truly too graphic to share on Twitter.no end to Hamas’ depravity.

Hamas restarted the war today holding 137 hostages in Gaza117 male, 20 female126 Israelis, 11 foreign 2 children (Bibas infants)10 aged 75+To date, Israeli military pressure has secured the release of 110 hostages and recovered the bodies of two murdered hostages

No matter how many try to blame Israel, it will not erase the terror group Hamas’s culpability in raping, butchering, beheading and incinerating babies, women, men and elderly on 10/7 and taking hostages.

“Stagnation” in political circles it is called. Simple Googling shows who initially supported HAMAS and what political mistakes have been made by Israel. The only reason no one is discussing it now is because “one doesn’t change horses mid-stream”. But I hope for interesting exposés to read and that some changes will be made when the war is over.

Stagnation, intelligence failure…call it what you will. Nothing erases Hamas’s culpability in the massacre of 10/7. Hamas are the only ones to blame for the rape, brutality, barbarism against innocent civilians asleep in their beds.

 

[Momoffourboys]

Hamas leaders are always so shocked when asked if they would repeat the October 7 Massacre.To them - it’s obvious, of course they would.

You are right nothing can absolve the guilt from a terrorist organisation running riot on the 7th.

Right at this moment the world is watching the might of a state committing atrocities with malice aforethought and annihilating an unarmed civilian population.

It is not an edifying sight watching another holocaust unfolding.

ADMIN NOTE:

Please don't post articles about protests and riots resulting from the war. There are too many of them throughout the world and are really all just variations of a theme.

Thanks for your understanding.

Today I have watched people emerging into view stumbling through the dust cloud of bombardment.

It was exactly the scene I witnessed after 9/11 minus the broken children being carried away.
