Gazan looters were seen dumping flour to keep the sacks, as over 100 aid trucks entered North Gaza via Zikim today. High-value items like Nutella and sugar were prioritized, with flour discarded to make room for more profitable goods. read more
A senior officer in Hamas's security forces has told the BBC the Palestinian armed group has lost about 80% of its control over the Gaza Strip and that armed clans are filling the void. The lieutenant colonel said Hamas's command and control system had collapsed due to months of Israeli strikes that have devastated the group's political, military and security leadership. read more
Dubai, known for its glittering skyscrapers and opulent lifestyle, hides a disturbing trend beneath its luxury facade: the emergence of degrading "Porta-Potty" parties. These events, thrown by wealthy individuals, lure young models and influencers with promises of large sums of money, lavish gifts, and upscale hotel stays. However, the reality behind the glitz is one of extreme sexual degradation, potential physical harm, and legal risks for the women involved. read more
American households that make about $250,000 or more are typically considered to be in the top 10% of earners. Many in that bracket realize that the number sounds huge - and by many measures, affluent Americans are indeed thriving. Yet the top-line figures can mask a sense of financial fragility in many high-earning families. read more
"Issa led Hamas' force build-up, training, and planned the October 7 massacre," wrote the IDF on X along with an image of a smiling Issa with the word "ELIMINATED" stamped across the bottom. "As Head of Combat Support, he advanced aerial & naval attacks against Israelis." read more
You've overplayed Oct 7, dumbs*^%. So have the Israelis.

I wonder if you'd be able to go a month without writing an ad hominem attack. My money is on no.
Anyhow, back to your point about "overplaying" October 7th, is Hamas no longer in control? If Israel left today, would Hamas be back in a year or two to pull similar shenanigans?
You think this is about revenge, and I'm sure it is to some Israelis. I think I see it as it is intended by those conducting the campaign, regime change. And it looks like the Arab nations have come on board:

I'd say ten more years of this at the most, and then Hamas will no longer be calling the shots, Israel can take Gaza as reparations, and Trump Towers Gaza can open six months later. But I've been accused of being an optimist. So lets say thirty more years, on the outside.
So... about half the Palestinian people don't now support Hamas?
Good to know.

Yeah, better than Trump's numbers here. And he runs all three branches of our government.
No, but believing their views are popular will help an awful person maintain their illusion that they're not a reprehensible POS.

Sometimes a group of people decide to do horrible things and celebrate in the streets when it happens:
Palestinians In Gaza And The West Bank Celebrate On October 7, Hand Out Sweets, Fire Guns In The Air, Following Hamas's Invasion And Massacre Of Israeli CiviliansAnd then horrible things befall those people as the wrath of Allah pays them a visit in the form of a smitten Gaza.

The Palestinians want all the fun stuff that goes will attacking Jews, like rape and murder. But they don't want any of the negatives. And I'm the reprehensible POS, not the terrorist supporters who hide behind the children.
Here, watch these Palestinian children eat dirt:

You'll probably swallow that hammy acting hook, line, and sinker as well. Because it tells you the story you want to hear.
That poll is from March 21, 2024. I bet now Hamas is even more underwater there than Trump is here.

You are correct sir!
For the fifth time since October 7, we asked respondents from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip what they thought of Hamas' decision to launch the October 7 attack, whether it was correct or incorrect: 50%, compared to 54% seven months ago, in September 2024, and 71% 14 months ago, in March 2024, said it was the right decision. The decrease in this percentage came from the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where it stands today at 59% in the West Bank, a decrease of 5 percentage points, and 38% in the Gaza Strip, compared to 39% seven months ago.At this rate, we might have peace in six or seven years.

Agreed! Let me know when you see one. Based on facts, and not terrorist and NYT lies about one inexplicably starving kid in a family of weightlifters.
I am having a discussion. That people who justify/deflect/excuse the suffering and death of children are bottom feeding s*&^bags. I feel like I've been quite clear on that fact.

Sure, I like unicorns and fairy dust too.
Unfortunately, in the real world civilians suffer in the wars their leaders start, particularly when they support those leaders and don't want the war to end and their leaders rely on civilians as shields and as a direct military strategy.

Then someone should tell the Palestinians they don't want it.

OK, does it matter that apparently the participants don't want to end it? At least not enough to lay down their arms?
It's what you should expect when you justify/excuse/deflect the pain, suffering and death of children.

Sure! Wait till you find out how the German kids fared under our auspices during and after the war their parents started.

From what is currently known there are no functioning hospitals.

Someone should tell this guy:

You can find references to other Gaza hospitals by doing an Internet search and sorting news articles by recent. You might have to use a non-Hamas search engine to find those results, so you might be out of luck there.
Muslims are subhuman so it's okay to starve their children to death.

Lol! I said nothing of the kind. But many of the photos show kids suffering from non-dietary illnesses. I've never said that makes them subhuman. Although I'm sure some Palestinians might have those feelings based on the company they keep.
The Israeli government has stopped untold numbers of aid convoys and refused to open other corridors so they can get in.
Then, they insisted on replacing NGOs with their own distribution system that's been a disaster.
#14 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY
Yeah, no easy answers.
If Israel allows in aid by third parties, of course it will be used for smuggling weapons since locals will be involved throughout. If Israel does it themselves, like the current plan, Hamas will stir up trouble to stop the distributions and make Israel look bad. Because the suffering of Palestinians has always been the best tool Hamas has in its belt.

Photos are supposed to be of starving children, and not just kids suffering from other illnesses?
Simple enough to prove, show their parents in the photo, since pretty much any parent would go without to make sure their kids have food.
Skinny parents in the photo means possibly hungry kids. No parents in the photo means they're at the all you can eat buffet while they're disabled kid is being used as a prop in Hamas's smear campaign against the Jews.
