Israel-Hamas Thread II

[Landon Caeli]

What about all the people who live there? What are they supposed to do? Are they included in this resort district or are they removed?

I think there should be an application process for those who are willing to take part in the "moving forward" process, but they would have to pass psychiatric and general knowledge tests before being allowed to stay, and also, they should be required to learn Hebrew. Those who fall outside these guidelines, or reject them outright, should be transported somewhere else.

Aka. Full assimilation.

Goodness, that's a horrible plan.

If “somewhere else” includes, say, a patch of land in Arizona, sure, why not?

What does the Lord require, but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.

Afghanistan.

I’m sure that the Afghanis would love for us to decide that for them.

President Donald Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to address the strike on the church, the White House said.

"It was not a positive reaction," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said of Trump's response.

Landon, what you have described is called ethnic cleansing and is classified as a form of genocide. Please rethink this.

85 Palestinians seeking aid killed in Gaza, officials say, as Israel widens evacuation orders​

At least 85 Palestinians were killed while trying to reach aid at locations across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, the territory’s Health Ministry said, in one of the deadliest days yet for aid-seekers in more than 21 months of war.

WHO condemns Israeli attacks on its facilities in central Gaza​

The World Health Organization (WHO) says Israel's offensive in central Gaza has compromised its efforts to continue working, after its facilities came under attack.

The UN agency accused Israeli forces of attacking a staff residence in the city of Deir al-Balah on Monday and mistreating those sheltering there. Its main warehouse was also attacked and destroyed.

It said the WHO staff residence was attacked three times, and that staff and their families, including children, were "exposed to grave danger and traumatized after air strikes caused a fire and significant damage".

The WHO said one of its staff detained by troops during the raid on the residence was still being held and demanded their immediate release.

The Israeli military said it detained "several individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism" in the area and that most were released.

The UN also said it had received growing reports of children and adults suffering from malnutrition and warned that "the last lifelines keeping people alive are collapsing".

Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry said on Tuesday that 33 people, including 12 children, had died from malnutrition across the territory over the past 48 hours.

Additionally, the nonprofit group World Central Kitchen (WCK) announced on Wednesday that it had run out of supplies and ingredients needed to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.

Chef José Andrés speaks out as World Central Kitchen forced to pause cooking in Gaza​

Andrés said the nonprofit ran out of ingredients for meals.

"We have finished all the stock in hand, and our trucks are stuck at the border," WCK wrote in an Instagram caption. "We are continuing to bake bread and deliver water. But the people of Gaza still need a hot meal. Yesterday, we served 80,000+ meals -- and we are ready to start cooking again the moment that aid trucks make it safely to our field kitchens."

In an update on its website Sunday, WCK noted that this was the second time it had been forced to pause kitchen operations over "lack of access to aid." The first instance occurred in May, following what it described then as a "complete depletion of food supplies." The group's operations restarted 12 weeks later, in June, after it received new aid shipments.

The pause in operations comes as hundreds of Palestinians have been killed trying to access food from aid distribution sites run by a U.S.- and Israeli-backed group, amid what the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health and global humanitarian groups have described as a forced starvation campaign by Israel. Israel previously barred humanitarian aid shipments from entering Gaza for 11 weeks this spring before lifting the blockade to allow for limited aid deliveries.

Israel has denied accusations that it is using starvation tactics against Palestinians, claiming the humanitarian groups are aligned with Hamas.

More than 100 aid groups warn of 'mass starvation' in Gaza amid Israel's war with Hamas​

Their statement warned of "record rates of acute malnutrition."

The organizations warned that some aid workers are now joining food lines in Gaza, saying they are "risking being shot just to feed their families." Repeated deadly shootings around aid distribution centers have killed hundreds, according to the United Nations.

"90% of Gaza's population face difficulty accessing water," the director-general of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said in a press conference Wednesday.

The joint statement accused the Israeli government of implementing "restrictions, delays, and fragmentation" with a total siege of the Gaza Strip, resulting in "chaos, starvation, and death" of Palestinians.

Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Oxfam International were among the international aid groups that signed the statement.

Israeli Government Spokesman, David Mencer pushed back, saying "there is no famine" in Gaza, in an online briefing Wednesday.

He went on to say, "Hamas hammassed hamas hamas. Hamas hamas hamasly Hamas. Hamas."
