#UK / Silly anecdotes from populist Israeli news sites that indulge their readership in Zionist indoctrination.
[…] Even the most beautiful kippah won't help you look less hypocritical. Just saying.
Ynet columnist seems to think Prince William is a hypocrite because… apparently he didn’t stick with the Jewish state during the genocide in Gaza.
She quips: […] When it comes to relations with Israel - the royal family definitely needs to work a little harder. With the outbreak of the [what Israel titles] “Iron Swords” War [which many see as a genocidal revenge attack], and after the horrific atrocities committed by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7th were exposed, Prince William and Kate Middleton, together with King Charles, rushed to condemn the horrific actions - but very quickly changed their approach.
And how? Well he dared to say this (translated back from Hebrew so probably different form the source):
[…] "I am concerned about the terrible human cost of the conflict in the Middle East since Hamas' attack on October 7th. Too many people have been killed, […] Like many others, I want to see an end to the fighting as soon as possible. There is a need for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza, it is critical that aid gets in and the captives are released."
Horrible person indeed. Funny she stops short of mentioning that the slaughter of thousands of Gazans (mostly women and children) in the hand of the #IDF that followed, might have had something to do with that.
Thought I should share the pain of going through this with someone 🤷🏽♂️…
@w7voa#IDF#IOF killed them, obviously. I mean, you HAVE SEEN the CARPETBOMBINGS of areas they're thought to be held as Immigration Law Prisoners, right? You'd be dead if you were there too.
#Gaza While Israel's fascists are pushing for full occupation of Gaza and imposing a 'military rule’, Netanyahu is not saying no, and the army warns of dire consequences of such a plan
At the dramatic press conference he held the day before yesterday, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that he will not continue in his position if there is Israeli control over Gaza. Gallant believes that the current conduct has led to a situation where Israel is currently controlling the Strip, but this is a dangerous situation.
"A trend is developing that is promoting military and civilian rule in Gaza. This is dangerous for us, Israel must not have civilian control over the Gaza Strip. Since October I have been raising this issue in the Cabinet without receiving an answer. The end of the military operation is through political action," he warned.
These are the financial and administrative implications of 'martial rule' in Gaza.
Budget
NIS 20 billion in yearly operational costs
NIS 150 million for building an additional "corridor"
Reconstruction costs not included
Personnel
400 positions to staff five district governorates
4 offensive divisions and 1 defensive division - forces that will be drawn from the Northern and Central Commands
A dramatic increase in the scope of reserve duty for operational employment will be required

"In December,...civilian casualty figures reported by #Hamas...indicated discrepancies...reported numbers, particularly those of women and children compared to men and combatants, are significantly exaggerated.
A May 9 OCHA update...significantly altered the portrayal of casualty figures...the #UN effectively conceding the untrustworthiness of Hamas figures...parroted by various media outlets."
#Gaza / Settlers looted and desecrated food intended for Gaza in front of soldiers, peace activists were attacked, and two trucks were set on fire
Dozens of settlers and far-right Israelis looted yesterday the humanitarian aid trucks making their way to the Strip through the Tarqumiya crossing near Hebron. The humanitarian aid was blocked at two points in the area south and west of Hebron Hill - near the Tarqumiya checkpoint and near the Negohot settlement. After being blocked and looted, two trucks were set on fire near the Tarqumiya checkpoint.
B'Tselem stated that the looting continued for hours, "in front of soldiers and police officers, as well as security personnel at the crossing, who did not lift a finger to stop the desecration of food. This conduct by the Israeli authorities grossly violates the interim orders of the International Court of Justice, which demanded that Israel allow the supply of humanitarian aid to Gaza."
#Palestine / Israelis beat a Palestinian truck driver because they thought he was transporting aid to the Gaza Strip.
Israeli civilians stopped two trucks in the area of the Givaat Assaf settlement in the occupied West Bank and unloaded their contents, because they thought they were carrying aid to the Gaza Strip. These were regular Palestinian trade trucks, and after the settlers unloaded the goods from them - they set tires on fire and threw a stone that hit one of the drivers in the head. #IDF and Border Police forces are present at the scene.
@BobaFuttbucker Interesting take. If he thinks #Hamas should be stopped, I'd love to hear his strategy for how that ought to be done. I hear more from people arguing that the #IDF should stop fighting #Hamas than arguing for how exactly the #IDF should be fighting #Hamas, if not with the current tactics
Canada’s largest private high school recently organized a genocide solidarity trip in which students cooked for Israeli soldiers. In a sane world, the school’s charitable status would be revoked.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel Well, this is sickening. Did the school cheerleaders lead cheers for #IDF like "Give me a G, give me an E, give me an N, give me GEN-O-CIDE!" 🤮
#IDF destroyed the last operating cell tow in Rafah and set it on fire.
One of the key goals of Israel is to prevent the world witnessing what they are doing in Gaza. From murder of reporters, preventing foreign press to enter and destroying the means of communication, they are setup up the stage for full blown assault on #Rafah and mass murder of innocent palestinians who have no where to go.
The #Biden admin paused the shipment of thousands of weapons to #Israel, including controversial 2k-pound bombs, amid mounting concern about the country’s plan to expand a military operation in southern #Gaza that could dramatically increase the conflict’s death toll, U.S. ofcls said Tues.
But in recent days, it became clear to the #Biden admin that “Israeli leaders seemed to approach a decision point on such an operation,” forcing Washington to initiate its review of proposed transfers.
Despite the pause, the #IDF has enough #weapons supplied by the #US & other partners to conduct the #Rafah op if it chooses to cast aside US objections, the 1st ofcl said.

'This Is a Crime Against Humanity': 600,000 Children in Line of Fire as #IDF Moves on Rafah
"We had already run out of words to describe how catastrophic the situation is in #Rafah—but this next chapter will take it to indescribable new levels" - Save the Children International CEO.
The Israeli military have started it's ground offensive against Rafah by the border of Egypt by air, artillery and tanks.
There are reports of heavy bombings and classes by the border, with no reaction from the Egyptian military despite loud warning about such acts just a few weeks ago.
