Israel be like: We will stop all humanitarian aid to Gaza until our hostages are released

Liberals: BUT HAMAS DOESNT CARE FOR THE AVERAGE PALESTINIAN!

Why do they make this weird connection? Lmfao, does Israel even think of the average palestinian as something more than mere targets you fucking asshole? Becuase if they did they wouldn't be destroying random buildings inside the city. In fact, all power is on Israel side. They have the power to cut off aid, they have the power to cut off supplies, they have the power to bomb Gaza bit by bit until nothing exists. What they fuck are they talking about Hamas here lmfao, do they not understand the balance of power? Do they not understand that with or without Hamas, Gaza has been always at the mercy of Israel?

Plus, they don't seem to understand what Hamas is, they think of it as this super secret comically evil terrorist organization when, in reality, they're a political party with a militant wing lol, like, they form government in Gaza, they are Gaza's institutional life, they have reciprocity with the common Gazans, I'll give you institutions and you give me legitimacy, common political life shit, in essence it's no different than the fucking Democratic party. They don't understand this, they don't understand that Hamas is what keeps Gaza literally alive at this stage, all things considered. They are even held accountable by the Gazans, this is why they must keep shit running and rockets flying against Israel, they have to keep validating their rule and to represent their people because their base of legitimacy IS the people of Gaza. Is it cool? No, I wish it was someone else actually, but if you want someone to blame do so on Israel, not the starved Gazan who never even had the fair chance to decide the fate of his people. When you've been under siege for your entire life, when all you see around you is death and destruction at the hands of the IDF, you want the guys who can pick up a gun and fight back against them.

They see Israel is about to commit genocide on Palestinians yet they continue to insist on fucking Hamas, give me a fucking break, they just see whatever they want to see. Fucking hell I hate liberals with all my being, at the very least conservatives while being the pieces of shit they are, they are straight about what they fucking want, no funny decorations like "love for all" or "respect", they fucking want you dead and they let you know it. Liberals are cynical, disingenuous, they are the most vile shit I get to see right up with fucking nazis. They want us dead but first they'll lie to us with cute words.

But like I've said before: The underlying issue for liberals and Palestine is that they can't stand global south people standing up to one of their own, they can't conceive the idea of near starved people fighting for their freedom and achieving victory against one of their own. They're scared to their core by just thinking of that. Palestine will win, and they will set the stage for the ultimate destruction of the wicked world order the liberals and their reactionary friends have built. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA PALESTINE WILL BE FREE.

A few minutes ago John Kirby was on CNN. He's a NSC guy in the White House. Jake Tapper mentioned Israeli women getting r*ped. When the stream cut back to Kirby - he was choked up and almost crying. It took him a number of long seconds to manage to get words out.

I expected that and I saw it today from people like dem congresspeople when they discussed the music festival. But I seriously didn't think even nat sec guys would do that too. They are cool as fucking cucumbers when talking about thousands of dead Palestinians. Or when discussing 1,000s or 10,000s of foreigners of all kinds killed in war.

"We regret the tragic loss of life and the way you know that is I'm reading this pro forma statement that I've said a dozen times without any emotion at all and this is no exception, Jake."

We can give the Palestinians our posting and our energy, but it also helps to give them some cold hard cash if we can.

Prediction time:

The US has talked itself up too much and after the whole middle east has united over this they are now crapping their pants.

They don't want this. They're stalling to walk it back. All the talk about how they'll do anything to defend Israel but now it's a problem.

The 10k troop invasion? I think it's real. They're going to do a limited invasion that is absolutely destined to fail to save face. This is so that nobody has to look like they lied, nobody has to look like they said they were doing a ground op but chickened out. They know it will fail but the point is they don't want a full scale war.

Blinken's touring the middle east is to tell them all they aren't doing a full attack, so that doing so doesn't cause everything to get out of hand anyway.

Hamas will walk out of this stronger than ever.

Dumb thing I made. Someone asked for a Ukraine/Israel flag, so I made this Palestine/Novorossiya flag. Novorossiya to represent both Donbass states together basically, plus it enabled the interesting idea of making each triangle a different color from the Palestinian flag.

Edit: lmao they replied "where's the yellow?". Do they not even recognize the colors of the Palestinian flag?

Edit: "It looks more like an israel+palestine flag, which, while based, is not what I asked for."

The White House is considering adding more Ukraine funding in an emergency aid package for Israel, according to informed sources that spoke with multiple western outlets. Although no decision has been reached, senior US officials told the Washington Post that such a move “could make sense” because it would put a damper on the republican party, “which is firmly opposed to more Ukraine aid but strongly supportive of aid to Israel.” The move would also help resolve an internal crisis between the two ruling US parties that have made signing blank checks for Kiev “harder'”

Israel is the greatest cumulative recipient of US military aid, getting more than $3 billion a year, which to date amounts to more than $146 billion. This year, Washington sent Israel $3.8 billion and an additional $100 million “in funding for other cooperative defense and non-defense programs.”

For Ukraine, the White House has approved at least $45 billion in direct military aid through 47 separate transfers since February 2022. They have also shipped a significant portion of US munitions stored in Israel, sparking concerns in Tel Aviv earlier this year.

During a background briefing on Monday, a senior US defense official told reporters that the Pentagon could “continue our support both to Ukraine, Israel, and maintain our own global readiness,” noting that the US has been able to meet “every request that our Israeli counterparts have made.”

However, EU officials have expressed the opposite sentiment, telling Foreign Policy on Monday, “We face a huge ammo shortage due to Ukraine.” This comes on the heels of a statement by the chair of the NATO Military Committee last week, in which he said “the bottom of the barrel is now visible” about the west's ammo stockpile.

Are they running out of weapons or not?

I cannot recommend Rashid Khaldidi’s The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine highly enough if you want to understand the history of all this (book was recommended by Hakim). I’m on the first section still and it’s all incredibly informative. I’m on the section that covers 1917-1939. There is a PragerU video that gives a Zionist slant to the history. In that video, they immediately jump from the Brits winning WW1 to the Palestinian revolts in the late 30s - implying the Palestinians had no real reason to protest. Because of course they do, because what happened in that period was awful. This chapter explains how truly evil the British rule over Mandatory Palestine really was. Promises were broken and at no point were the rights or even concerns of the Palestinians were addressed until they started to revolt AND WW2 loomed on the horizon (and even then, their concerns weren’t really addresss ofc).

And John McCain once called the author a terrorist, so that’s cool.

The Israeli military has suggested that Palestinians fleeing its air strikes in the Gaza Strip head to Egypt, which also borders the blockaded enclave.

"I am aware that the Rafah crossing (on the Gaza-Egypt border) is still open," Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Hecht, chief military spokesperson to the foreign media, said in a briefing.

"Anyone who can get out, I would advise them to get out."

His office then issued a statement which said:

"Clarification: The Rafah crossing was open yesterday, but now it is closed."

Houthis announce willingness to participate in hostilities on the side of the Palestinians - Al-Masirah TV

Hussein Mortada, journalist close to Hezbollah on NBN screen:

The resistance has penetrated the security apparatus of the occupying entity, and a number of Zionists have been recruited for the resistance

There are officers in the occupation army who cooperated with the resistance, and this is a sensitive operation.

The resistance has recruited officers and soldiers on its behalf, and investigations will prove this.

The resistance benefited from the political conflict within the occupying entity with the aim of bringing down the Netanyahu government

Reports coming in now that Hamas is burning Belgian babies.

Al-Qassam is apparently targetting the headquarters of the Northern Region Command in Safad with a "Ayyash 250" missile. edit: not sure if it hit its target, but it hit something. interception failed.

sidenote: it's interesting that Hamas isn't hitting Israeli infrastructure as much as they could be. there's been a power plant or two hit early on but no general campaign to hit infrastructure, as opposed to settlements in the Gaza envelope or on the coast near the strip. Russia's tactic in Ukraine of "force the enemy to waste air defense missiles protecting electrical infrastructure" seems like it would be a good lesson to emulate here. I mean, what's Israel gonna do? Cut off electricity? Cut off water? Drop thousands of bombs on the cities? They're already doing that!

archive.today • Israeli military says its troops killed gunmen who infiltrated from Lebanon

Israeli soldiers backed by helicopters killed at least two gunmen who crossed the border from Lebanon on Monday, the military said, in a sign of a possible new front opening as Israel's forces battled Palestinian Hamas militants in Gaza...

in yet another attack on freedom Putler doesn't unequivocally support the genocide of all Palestinians

From Resistance News Network Telegram channel:

In Kuwait, a speech was given yesterday celebrating Palestine and her people's legitimate right to resist. The speaker, after calling the zionist entity a cancer in the region, said:

"Long live Palestine. Long live the resistance. Long live the Arab nation. In conclusion, I hope—I just hope that the Palestinian Authority dissolves the PA Security Forces and advances hand-in-hand with the resistance and Palestinian people. Take a real stance. Long live Hamas, long live PIJ, long live the Palestinian factions."

It was at this point that the "Palestinian" Authority ambassador stormed out of the room. Notably, traitor-in-chief Abbas gave orders to PA and Fatah members not to discuss the resistance of #Gaza. Yet, the resistance advances despite the efforts of the PA, including their abduction of resistance fighters and students.

Dismantle it and let them fall.

I wonder what the chances of Abbas getting 'd is.

New details about Al-Aqsa Flood battle suggest that Al-Qassam Brigades fighters were acting on advanced intelligence:

For instance, one of the bases stormed by the elite Brigade fighters was not publicly known to exist at all. 🧵

Moreover, fighters knew precisely where vital communications infrastructure was, including server arrays, and how to destroy them.

In addition to this, the ground assault was supported by a coordinated cyberattack which, along with precision drone strikes,

completely disabled the occupation’s ability to monitor Gaza or the greater battlefield.

Qassam fighters were not only able to defeat the fragile entity’s soldiers in close-quarters combat. They were moreover able to take out of function entire divisions of the zionist army…

and liquidate the command of the “Gaza Division” before the top brass understood the extent of the attack. For these reasons, the occupation army took over 24 hours to truly respond.

There can be no doubt that the October 7 assault which began Al-Aqsa Flood is historically one of the most innovative and well-executed maneuvers in the history of armed resistance.

If this analysis is accurate, who was giving the intelligence? Iran? Russia? Super secret Chinese spies? (yes I’m dreaming with the last one)

A MSNBC talking head just described Gazans fleeing Gaza City as "refugees". I wonder if that's the go-to term that's going to be used.

My country's hegemonic media is 100% fash and has been 100% in on the "Israel are the real victims" and equating every Palestinian with Hamas. Until today. Now it's all about them going way too far on Gaza and how much suffering Israel is causing to civilians. Specifically, they're talking about the displacement and the relentless bombing
