Thank you. I've bookmarked. I agree things seem to be changing. For the first time in western media today I heard them calling for a neutral third party to verify all these claims by Israel that obviously aren't true. Like giving safe passage to innocent civilians when they're told to move in 30 minutes.

I did didn't I? Lol. Well, it's a great poem
There is intelligence we are not privy to. But collective punishment is a war crime and that's exactly what we're doing. It doesn't take intelligence to see that. More children have been killed in Gaza in 30 days than have been killed in all world conflicts, all together, since 2019. That includes over a year of the war in Ukraine
And children die as if any of this was their fault.
Like Stevie Wonder once put it:
"Heaven help the roses when the bombs begin to fall.
Heaven help us all".
@Mary625 @Edelruth
Mary, you basically reiterated a line from "The Charge of the Light Brigade".
Ours is not to reason why
Ours is but to do and die.
However there is the classified intelligence element that only those in the upper eschelons are privy to and we all have to admit that there's stuff that they know that we don't.
A lot of people don't--and they don't get why the US approves and sends in more assistance to Israel.
What I've been able to discern is that with Hamas being the government and even the hospitals being government institutions, they're military targets that Hamas put in harm's way, so the onus for civilian deaths is on Hamas, who is using civilian Palestinian death images to uproot the Abraham Accord because nobody is going to see the set-up beyond the images.
Judging from what I quoted from the WSJ, nobody has.
But the lack of credibility of the Netanyahu government also plays into this even though there were settler thugs well before Netanyahu's second stint. They just got more brazen with Netanyahu and after they raided the Al Aqsa Mosque hunting for Hamas, well, we all know how bogus THAT was.
Nobody's got any shred of credibility on any side of this thing.
@Mary625
...or just the tip of a rather large global iceberg.
An international array of doctors have been volunteering to work at those Gaza hospitals; people from an array of other nations have been visiting Israel and were taken hostage. Russia backs Iran and Iran bolsters Russia while Russia goes hat in hand to China...and now China thinks it's got a leg up on the US.
Welcome to World War III, already in progress.
@Mary625
In all the reporting on all that you mentioned, plus what I mentioned, nobody's pointed out that Russia is a factor here too, while all eyes are on Iran.
@Mary625
I'm totally with you on that. NONE of it makes any kind of sense.
@RickiTarr Everything, Everywhere, All at once.
Although that could have just been the shrooms.
Toss-up. ;)
Further, Trump was cheering on Hamas, so that means that Trump was celebrating the kiboshing of his one major accomplishment while in office.
Hezbollah has joined the fray and that's not being reported by anybody but Israel's i24News. Israel is also attacking Syria and Lebanon but only i24News is talking about that.
i24News has been saying that Lebanon has been launching rockets at Israel but that's a crazy thing for a nation with a natural gas treaty with Israel to be doing. This is another thing that's making no sense.

This came across my newsfeed just now and I quote from the Wall Street Journal:
"Israel-Hamas War Puts Palestinians Back on Arab World's Agenda
Israel’s fierce response to Hamas’s cross-border assault has reinvigorated support for Palestinians in the Arab world and stirred popular anger—not just at Israel and the U.S., but also at Arab governments. #press "
^^ This presents an argument that Hamas already won the war. The main Hamas objective was to put the kibosh on the Abraham Accord, which caused Arab states to basically throw Palestine under the bus.
Anybody throwing Palestine under the bus is gonna need a bigger bus.
