The Latest | Israel’s planned invasion of Rafah risks killing hundreds of thousands, UN says​

The United Nations humanitarian aid agency says hundreds of thousands of people would be “at imminent risk of death” if Israel carries out a military assault in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. The border city is a critical entry point for humanitarian aid and is filled with displaced Palestinians, many in densely packed tent camps.

An Israeli airstrike in Rafah overnight Friday killed seven people — mostly children. The Biden administration, which provides Israel crucial military and diplomatic support, says it opposes a Rafah invasion unless Israel provides a “credible” plan for protecting civilians there.

Turkey, an important Israeli trading partner, has suspended all imports and exports to Israel. The country’s trade minister says the move was in response to “the deterioration and aggravation of the situation in Rafah.”

International mediators are trying to broker a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas, and a leaked truce proposal hints at compromises by both sides after months of stalemated negotiations.

The Israel-Hamas war has driven around 80% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million from their homes, caused vast destruction in several towns and cities, and pushed northern Gaza to the brink of famine. The death toll in Gaza has soared to more than 34,500 people, according to local health officials, and the territory’s entire population has been driven into a humanitarian catastrophe.

The war began Oct. 7 when Hamas attacked southern Israel, abducting about 250 people and killing around 1,200, mostly civilians. Israel says militants still hold around 100 hostages and the remains of more than 30 others.

UN says Israeli civilians vandalized some humanitarian aid as convoy traveled through West Bank​

UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations reports that a U.N. convoy carrying humanitarian aid from Jordan to Gaza had “a limited amount of goods” vandalized by Israeli civilians when it went through the West Bank. It was also rerouted by armed men when it entered Gaza to the wrong U.N. facility.

U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters Friday “there was a miscommunication” with the convoy Wednesday and the trucks were ultimately directed to the U.N. World Food Program warehouse in Beit Hanoun.

Referring to Hamas, he said the U.N. has clarified the misunderstanding with “the de facto authorities in Gaza to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.” They reiterated their commitment to respect the delivery of humanitarian aid, he said.

“All of the goods have been subsequently accounted for and are being distributed by the U.N.,” Haq said.

The U.N. humanitarian office reported that the convoy started in Jordan and entered Gaza “via back-to-back transfer at Erez crossing, following inspection by Israeli authorities only at Allenby Bridge,” he said.

The bridge links Jordan to the West Bank, and Haq said “Going through the West Bank, Israeli civilians offloaded and vandalized a limited amount of goods from the convoy,” which included food parcels, sugar, rice, supplementary food for those malnourished and milk powder.

The U.N. doesn’t think the incident should impact further aid deliveries from Jordan, Haq said.

I have always been a proponent of two states.

Two separate states? Not one subservient to the other ?

 

[tastaylvr]

Nah, there is a huge difference, as I outlined in the post before this

The IDF has committed worse atrocities on a much larger scale than Hamas. There isn't a comparison at all. IDF is significantly worse while also being backed by USA.

 

[Samjj]

Correct.

Though a future theoretical Palestinian state would probably need to be demilitarized for a period of time.

Now would be a great time for Palestinians to collectively lynch and hand over known Hamas members to Israel

Damn, let's hope Hamas chooses to release 30 hostages.

 

[Halifax]

The IDF has committed worse atrocities on a much larger scale than Hamas. There isn't a comparison at all. IDF is significantly worse while also being backed by USA.

Jordan killed 25000+ Palestinians in 2 weeks by shelling refugee camps with fedayeen members embedded in it just to show they don't give a fuck.

It worked. The fedayeen understood they had to fuck off or else because all these islamic militants understand is violence. And they did fuck off. They fled to Lebanon, where they fucked that previously stable country over.

Jordan was a stable country who offered compassion and equal rights to Palestinians and Palestinians responded by trying to oust the Jordan monarchy and claim they stole Palestinian land and claimed all of Jordan was "palestine"

Savage barbarians understand Savage barbarian tactics. They count on what they consider weakness like "compassion" to stay Israel's hand . Not this time

 

[Snubnoze707]

Correct.

Though a future theoretical Palestinian state would probably need to be demilitarized for a period of time.

Then you shouldn't be upset about Arafat turning down that shitty offer...

 

[kflo]

You can try and smear "bias" all you want.

Here is the fact: The IDF blew up a bunch of children with rocket fire.

There doesn't need to be any more dialog. Whether the foosball narrative is correct or not, it doesn't fucking matter.

They killed innocent children with rocket fire. Does it need to be any more horrific than that?

Do you condemn the IDF for blowing up those kids?

if it's proven the idf used precision guided munition to land in the middle of a street targeting children i absolutely condemn it. i condemn any strikes that don't have a valid military objective.

you pretending you know "facts" is a joke though.

 

[kflo]

Correct.

Though a future theoretical Palestinian state would probably need to be demilitarized for a period of time.

these "pro-palestinian" posters would block any solution that is actually possible (palestine must have full military power!). just to be indignant at israel protecting their national security interests. pals as perpetual refugees and victims is better because it allows for continued vilification of israel............there's never a real interest in solutions. it's why they are ok with hamas still representing gaza....

 

[Halifax]

Two separate states? Not one subservient to the other ?

They don't need to be subservient. They just need to swear off revenge and violence and accept Israel is there to stay and swear never to try to change that.

if it's proven the idf used precision guided munition to land in the middle of a street targeting children i absolutely condemn it. i condemn any strikes that don't have a valid military objective.

you pretending you know "facts" is a joke though.

On one hand they claim it's so densely packed a single grenade would kill 100 people because 200000 are packed like sardines. On another, they claim a missile fired by a jet intentionally killed 7 children and the 1 hamas guy they targeted got away

 

[kflo]

He hasn’t condemned Israel in any fashion. The guy jerks off to the thought of dead palestinian kids



You can almost see the smile that must form on his face when he hears these kids get blown up or shot

you're clearly not well.............

 

[Rholk]

I think the people that should be upset with Arafat turning down this chance at a future should be everyone that has any real sympathy for Palestinians.

The people across the world, cheering them on from places where safety is guaranteed, in this unwinnable war of terror are their worst enemies, posing as their friends.

Egyptian mediators aims to stave off Israel’s Rafah offensive, which the U.S. says would have devastating consequences for over a million displaced Palestinians crowded against the border with Egypt. The Egyptians have also warned Israel against the operation, fearing a flood of Palestinian refugees driven into its territory.

DE-ESCALATE IN PHASES​

The initial stage of the deal would last for 40 days. Hamas would start by releasing female civilian hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
After this first batch, Israeli troops would withdraw from a coastal road in Gaza and head inland to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid. This would also allow displaced civilians to return to their homes in the northern Gaza Strip. Hamas would provide a list of hostages who are still alive during that time. Israel estimates that Hamas is holding about 100 hostages and the remains of 30 others either killed in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that sparked the war or who have died in captivity.

Arafat turned it down because the intifada was his meal ticket:



Look at the billionaire leaders of Hamas. They've been milking the shit out of the suffering of the Gazans to enrich themselves.

It's pretty telling that they openly consider that their true fear.

Egypt was absolutely ruthless when it came to flooding hamas tunnels to keep them from coming into egypt. Using everything from seawater to sewage and not caring if children were inside as long as none could survive.

Rightfully so

Peak fucking delusion from the leftists protesters at UT who are cosplaying as Muslims:



These bitches would be stoned in public for their haram clothing and exposing their hair.

Just another example of the leftists' tolerance of the intolerant.
