I'm in board shorts and an oversized tee shirt today. Perhaps I am entering my second childhood.

Hope so, those days were fun.

Bibi & the traitor say return all the Hostages now, or we start the killing again; now explain to me why Hamas shouldn't just murder all the remaining hostages, put the bodies in a skip & say, Go Ahead, do your worst !

Who will the families blame for their loved ones being murdered ?

How exactly will restarting the bombings of Gaza now be any different from a few weeks ago ?, will it damage Hamas, or just make the remaining people there hate the Jews & Americans even more ?

Make it easier to flatten a few more areas near the sea for real estate development?

Only a cretin like the Traitor would think of Israel as a tourist destination !

I once asked an Israeli friend why tourism was so shit in Israel, & he accurately said; "because all the staff want to be the bosses".

Ironically the better tourist experience is always from the Arab side, where they're used to fleecing the Christians every Christmas in Bethlehem.

Israel’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said on Saturday night that he hoped the mass transfer of Palestinians from Gaza endorsed by Trump could begin soon. He said he expected Palestinians would be forced to leave by a resumption of bombing.

“It’s a process I hope will begin in the coming weeks,” he told Israel’s Channel 12. “Even if it’s slow at first, it will gradually pick up pace and intensify. There won’t be anything for the Gazans in Gaza for the next 10 to 15 years. After we go back to fighting, and all of Gaza looks like Jabaliya, there definitely will be nothing for them there.”

Smotrich was referring to Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, which was flattened by blanket bombing during 15 months of conflict.

Unfücking believable

It's not unbelievable though.

It's the reality. When someone tells you who they are so clearly, you have to believe it.

The zone has been completely flooded with shit but this one is beyond troubling.

Don't allow protests against Israel or we'll cut your funding.

"Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I don't see the caveat, "unless we don't like it" in there.

There is no way funding cuts under those circumstances can stand up in a court of law.

Who could have seen this coming...

"Israel will, from now on, act against Hamas with increasing military strength," it said in a statement.

In Washington, a White House spokesperson said Israel had consulted the U.S. administration before it carried out the strikes, which the military said targeted mid-level Hamas commanders and leadership officials as well as infrstructure belonging to the militant group.

Negotiating teams from Israel and Hamas had been in Doha as mediators from Egypt and Qatar sought to bridge the gap between the two sides following the end of an initial phase in the ceasefire, which saw 33 Israeli hostages and five Thais returned by militant groups in Gaza in exchange for some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

With the backing of the United States, Israel had been pressing for the return of the remaining 59 hostages still held in Gaza in exchange for a longer-term truce that would have halted fighting until after the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and the Jewish Passover holiday in April.

However Hamas had been insisting on moving to negotiations for a permanent end to the war and a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, in accordance with the terms of the original ceasefire agreement.

"We demand that the mediators hold Netanyahu and the Zionist occupation fully responsible for violating and overturning the agreement," the group said.

Each side has accused the other of failing to respect the terms of the January ceasefire agreement, and there were multiple hiccups during the course of the first phase. But until now, a full return to the fighting had been avoided.

Israel had blocked deliveries of aid from entering Gaza and had threatened on numerous occasions to resume fighting if Hamas did not agree to return the hostages it still holds.

The army did not provide details about the strikes carried out in the early hours of Tuesday but Palestinian health authorities and witnesses contacted by Reuters reported damage in numerous areas of Gaza, where hundreds of thousands are living in makeshift shelters or damaged buildings.

A building in Gaza City, in the northern end of the strip was hit and at least three houses were hit in Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza. In addition, the strikes hit targets in the southern cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, according to medics and witnesses.

Much of Gaza now lies in ruins after 15 months of fighting, which erupted on October 7, 2023 when thousands of Hamas-led gunmen attacked Israeli communities around the Gaza Strip, killing some 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies, and abducting 251 hostages into Gaza.

The Israeli campaign in response has killed more than 48,000 people, according to Palestinian health authorities, and destroyed much of the housing and infrastructure in the enclave, including the hospital system.

They are just going to go ahead and clear Gaza, probably followed by the West Bank, and no one is going to do a thing about it.

That's been their aim, and the US aim, all along. Everything else is a smoke screen to the genocide they are perpetrating. The disgusting and brutal terrorism Hammas carried out murdering innocents and taking hostages was just the excuse they were waiting for.

Hammas taking hostages was their big mistake. Should have just gone home again after lunch, they made their point and Israel probably wouldn't have had an excuse to invade (with Biden in the White House anyway).

In many ways Hammas got what they wanted, a massive over reaction from Israel that turned Israel from the victim to the perpetrator of genocide. And all they had to do was be willing to see huge numbers die, on both sides, and history says they'll happily pay such price

Even if Israel clears way more land they'll be doing well to stay clear of emerging drone technology, frankly it doesn't look possible. So Israel is just as exposed to bombings and strikes from the air as they were, but now with less friends

This is just another chapter in the 100+ years war.

Is it time to stop arming the bastards from both sides and they can revert to fighting with swords and shields.

Funny how the yanks want to "stop the aid" to one conflict but not this one.

Not even trying to hide it anymore. Aid workers slaughtered, buried in shallow graves along with their ambulance and at least one of them with arms tied.

I'm sure the IDF will have a good explanation for this.

They don't care any longer. They know the world has largely moved on and they can do what they want, and that in a few years everyone will have forgotten.

This has been a catastrophic failure by our leaders

And they are ploughing ahead with annexation and further reducing the footprint of the Palestinian concentration camp.

Unlikely they'll be getting any more hostages back.
