Read the title again please before the article.  No justification for this!  Israeli officials keep saying there was no justification for the attack on them by Hamas, OK but there is no justification for what Israel is doing now to a captured people who can not fight back and can not escape.  There is a video at the link.  Hugs.  Scottie

Israeli troops have been tightening their encirclement of Gaza City with army videos showing ongoing battles with Hamas militants (4 November).

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli military strikes killed multiple civilians Saturday at a U.N. shelter and hospital in the main combat zone in the Gaza Strip as the assault intensified on the besieged enclave’s Hamas rulers amid growing international uproar over the soaring death toll and deepening humanitarian crisis.

Israel’s military has said it has encircled Gaza City, the target of its offensive to crush Hamas, but on Saturday offered a three-hour window for residents trapped by the fighting to flee south.

The new attacks came as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in the region trying to find ways to ease the plight of the civilians caught in the fighting. He met with Arab foreign ministers on Saturday in Jordan, the day after talks in Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who insisted there can be no temporary cease-fire until all hostages held by Hamas are released.

The Israeli military has repeatedly demanded that northern Gaza’s 1.1 million residents flee south as it escalates bombardment of the north and tightens the noose around Gaza City. However, some of those traveling south were killed during their journey in recent days, and Israel has continued bombing in the south, saying it is striking Hamas targets.

 

Bassem Youssef vs Piers Morgan ROUND 2 (incredible conversation)

Great history lesson on how Israel was created and the people already in Palestine.  The person being interviewed, Bassem Youssef, goes back to 1914.  Lance gives more information towards the 42 minute mark.   This is a great listen if you want to know about this conflict.   Hugs.  Scottie

While most (myself included) thought this would be another satire filled embarrassment for Piers Morgan, Bassem Youssef uses the platform to educate the world on Palestine.

Gaza, explained

If you want to understand this conflict, if you want to see what real bigotry / racism is watch this video.  There is no doubt who is in the wrong, who are the villains really are.   Hugs.  Scottie


On October 7, Hamas, a militant group based in the Gaza Strip, launched a deadly attack on Israel, killing over 1,400 Israelis and kidnapping over 200. In retaliation, Israeli airstrikes have killed, as of this video, over 6,400 Palestinians in Gaza, where Palestinians have lived for decades under an occupation and blockade.


Since 1967, Israel has imposed tight restrictions on travel and essential goods such as food, fuel, medicine, and water in its occupied territories. In 2007, those restrictions became even tighter in Gaza after Hamas seized power there. Since then, it has been nearly impossible for Palestinians to leave Gaza or to access an adequate supply of essential goods.

Today, the Gaza Strip, with a population of over 2 million Palestinians, is a victim of what many call “collective punishment” as Israel bombards its population, shuts off access to internet, power, food, water, and medicine, forces them to leave their homes, and prepares for a ground invasion.

This latest episode of Vox Atlas explains how the experience of Palestinians in Gaza got to this point, and what’s behind Israel’s occupation and its blockade of Gaza.

Cenk Uygur Unleashes Fury In Piers Morgan Appearance On Israel-Gaza

For those that don’t know, I dropped my TYT membership this summer.  I found that Anna’s hard right turn and Cenk’s hate for Biden along with trying to destroy the Democratic Party became too much to take.  But on this he is correct.  Plus I love how David, who is the rational national, presents the facts in the video.   Hugs.  Scottie 

Cenk Uygur, founder and host of The Young Turks, joined Piers Morgan for a lively and educated discussion on the conflict.

Democrats Respond to Backlash Over Their Support for Israel’s War Crimes

Almost all Democratic politicians are defying 80% of their base who support a ceasefire in Gaza, but several lawmakers in particular who purport to be “progressive” have sparked backlash over their inflammatory comments in support of Israel’s bombing campaign in Gaza. In particular, Ritchie Torres and John Fetterman responded to criticism from progressives who’ve condemned their bloodthirsty takes. Their responses, predictably, were atrocious. In this video we’ll discuss the so-called “progressives” who continue to support Israel despite irrefutable evidence of war crimes they’ve committed in Gaza.

Marjorie Greene Accuses Rashida Tlaib of “Insurrection” Over Pro-Peace Rally, Moves to Censure Her

Rashida Tlaib, like Barbara Lee in 2001, is one of the few voices in Congress calling for peace. As a result, she’s been smeared, like Barbara Lee in 2001, as a terrorist sympathizer. In this video we’ll look at parallels between the post-9/11 days and now and explain why support for war in Gaza is so common.
