Israel

Protesters have marched on Israeli PM Netanyahu's house, setting a fire outside and demanding he agree to a ceasefire deal to end the genocide in Gaza:

Meanwhile, having forced Gazans out of the south due to the invasion of Rafah, the Israeli government has now started bombing the northern and eastern areas those Gazans fled to, shelling a school and aid convoy and telling Gazans to head south again:

Historically Israel ends up with more territory.

Wrong.

July 6, 24 Adoration

I am the Lord God of Hosts! Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess I am Lord. My reign is never ending and unceasing. I can make fire come out of the heavens. I can make storms form and move them as I wish. I am the mighty God of Israel who speaks! I can shake the Earth and make all tremble at the sight. I can control all this and so much more than even imagined. I am God the Son of Man born of Mary. I can create all things and still have control over all. There is nothing I can’t do! I am the Almighty King and Lord God over all creation. Search my heart, for I am there waiting. Everything you need is there. I stay by my promises. I never turn away. Always seeing always probing the hearts of my faithful ones. I hear you and see you, you are always in my sight. Search my heart there you will find what you need. There is more to come.

The Israeli army has spent the night bombing Gaza City, prior to rolling a column of tanks into the city and leveling numerous multi-storey buildings. Dozens of civilians are already reported dead in this latest assault:

"The enemy is behind us and the sea is in front of us, where will we go?" said one Gaza City resident.

Go get the hostages and release them.

[Pack Rat]

Release the hostages!

29 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in an Israeli military strike in a camp for displaced people, just outside a school:

The camp is housing people forced to flee nearby villages on the orders of the Israeli military.

Same old pattern we've seen all across Gaza. Israeli military tells people to evacuate an area, they move somewhere else, and the Israeli military then bombs their new location. Genocide.

The Lancet, a widely-respected peer reviewed medical journal from the UK, has estimated that the death toll from Israel's invasion of Gaza is likely as high as 180,000, or 8% of the region's entire population. It describes this as a 'conservative' estimate.

This is higher than official figures released by Gaza's Health Ministry as it accounts for bodies buried under/unrecoverable from rubble and deaths caused by Israel's destruction of Gaza's health and food infrastructure.

If Hamas cared about the Gazans they’d release the Israelites and Americans.

HitRed unexpectedly blames the US Government for 9/11

Does this mean that Ralf is calling for free elections in China and Russia soon?

HitRed what are your thoughts about American elections? Are they legit or not? Do we need to take Democrats as hostages until we have reputable elections where only Republicans win?

Hamas and the Christian Nationalists have a lot in common by imposing their intolerance on others.

[bigtoughralf]

Ralf calls for free elections in Gaza.

Yes, I call for Palestinians to be able to rule themselves without being under the constant military occupation and control of the Israeli government.

With deaths of children due to malnutrition now being recorded across all of Gaza, famine is now evidenced across all of northern, middle and southern Gaza:

In response to the latest deaths, the United Nations has blasted "Israel's intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people".

Ralf calls for free elections in Gaza.

Yes, I call for Palestinians to be able to rule themselves without being under the constant military occupation and control of the Israeli government.

They shouldn't pick fights then.

Collective punishment is a war crime because it is unreasonable to hold a group of people responsible for the actions of an individual they merely happen to share a nationality or cultural identity with.

The latest Israeli military atrocity was the bombing a group of women and children who were gathering to watch a football match. The only people picking a fight there were the Israeli missile pilots.

[HitRed]

Hamas put them at risk.

[bigtoughralf]

Hamas put them at risk.

Do you think the US Government put everyone in the Twin Towers at risk then?

HitRed concedes that it is not acceptable to murder 2 million people for no reason other than that they live within a 1,000 mile radius of a criminal.

In other news, while Israel orders 'everyone' to leave Gaza City so that its tanks can flatten any buildings still standing, the UN Human Rights Council has voted in favour of a total arms embargo on Israel:

On Friday, the UN Human Rights Council backed a weapons ban, with 28 countries voting in favour, six against and 13 abstentions. The US and Germany - which account for the vast majority of Israel's arms imports - both voted against.

The US is by far the biggest supplier of arms to Israel, having helped it build one of the most technologically sophisticated militaries in the world.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), external, the US accounted for 69% of Israel's imports of major conventional arms between 2019 and 2023.

Unfortunately the ban isn't legally binding, meaning the US is free to continue single-handedly funding the ongoing slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians (and counting) along with the deliberate starvation of hundreds of thousands more.

Looks like Israel learned their military tactics from Russia.

They Israeli military has today launched airstrikes on a dedicated humanitarian zone in Gaza, killing 90 civilians:

Meanwhile Biden is uncapping his pen to sign a deal to sell more bombs to Israel.
