I fucking hate everything cw: murder of a child, islamophobia

I wonder what kind of tunnels hamas have down there.

If I had decades to tunnel under Gaza I'd have at least one vehicle sized tunnel that runs the whole strip for quick movement. If tunnels get discovered they can easily be trapped to collapse so the threat of anyone taking it over and using it as a means to get to your main fortress underground is basically zero.

It would be like an artery with many veins running off it.

Has anyone heard about what the reaction/actions are from Arab/Palestinian Israelis? I have been wondering if we might see something like the labor strikes that happened in 2021.

I went looking for coverage and found this article Al Jazeera just published about Palestinian workers being suspended by their employers:

But on Saturday morning, Noura had no knowledge of any of this. Palestinian armed groups periodically fire rockets into southern Israel that are mostly intercepted by the country’s missile defence system, known as the Iron Dome.

So, when a visibly shaken co-worker spoke to Noura about what had happened, she responded by telling her, “This is not the first time” — a response she now recognises lacked empathy.

But as more details began to come through, and the unprecedented nature of the attack became clearer, Noura was summoned to her manager’s office, told to leave her work and not come back until further notice – because of that earlier conversation with her colleague.

“I felt very insulted, I couldn’t believe this is happening to me,” said Noura, who is one of 1.2 million Palestinians who are citizens of Israel – about 20 percent of the country’s population.

“I feel discriminated against,” she continued. “Day by day, you don’t feel it. But you feel it when something like this happens. You know that automatically you turn from a friend to an enemy.”

Shortly afterwards, she received a letter from the hospital’s management, which Al Jazeera has reviewed, in which she was called to a hearing to formalise her suspension on grounds that she had violated the institution’s disciplinary code, by allegedly supporting the Hamas attack.

Noura denied ever uttering the words she was accused of saying.

“What insulted me the most is that when they called me for the meeting, they had their mind set, the decision had been made. They didn’t want to listen,” Noura said of the hearing, which is expected soon.

I would imagine significant parts of the Israeli economy are relying on Arab workers in order to keep the war machine running, similar to the Confederacy's reliance on slave labor during the US Civil War.

So how's r/combatfootage doing since they banned footage from the Palestinian side, must get boring exclusively watching videos of screaming children and wailing parents

רשת NBC מדווחת: מעבר רפיח ייפתח מחר ב-9 בבוקר ליציאת אזרחים זרים, ובמקביל יתחיל להיכנס סיוע הומניטרי עמיחי שטיין

The NBC network reports: The Rafah crossing will open tomorrow at 9 am for the departure of foreign citizens, and at the same time humanitarian aid will begin to enter

Will the bombings get more intelligent if the US takes over command and intelligence for the Israeli army?

Are they likely to stop just indiscriminately bombing the crap out of everything and actually target military targets instead? Seems like Israel are honestly wasting a shit load of resources on mindlessly assaulting civilians and any competent leadership would get this toned down and focused on real targets of value rather than this chest beating shit they're doing.

Hamas released 1 woman from Gaza with 2 young children, who were taken to Gaza on October 7. Nothing is known about any agreements yet. Negotiations regarding the hostages are being conducted through Egypt

Security sources deny the occurence of any marching movements from Lebanon, what is happening may be a flock of birds

3,000 comments lets fuckin do it, today is a day of histroy

Israel prepares for possible ground assault in Gaza as war deaths mount | AP News

I really like AP's live update page. It seems to be free of sensationalistic bullshit and it's easy to get a link to a particular update. I gave up on Al Jazeera because there's no way to get a simple link to a particular update. They force you to use their social media bullshit.

On Monday, I set the comment Over/Under at 5250. Using a straight-line forecast, we are currently on track for 6200. Given the increasing sense that things are going to pop off after Friday prayer, I am upping the O/U to 7000 comments.

AP tweet...

The Israeli military said that an earlier warning to residents about "hostile aircraft" entering from Lebanon was a false alarm.
