Israeli ex-PM claims Hamas centre is in the south of Gaza not hospital
As Israel intensifies its ground offensive in Gaza, amid serious humanitarian concerns, its former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has told Euronews: "the war must go on" until Israel reaches its endgame: the end of Hamas.www.euronews.com

"have patience" what a farce
It is clear that Israeli politicians think the West are morons
Also get ready for the IDF to flatten the south
This is so clearly attempting to create a humanitarian crisis so horrific that Egypt feels pressured to open their borders and tacitly allow Israel to ethnic cleanse the area
___
And the attempts to make West Bank into a full fledged front of the war gets more explicit
How convenient. Let's move down south and destroy that next.
Khan Younis is a major population center as well, its the 2nd largest after Gaza City (which has been destroyed by Israel). Shifa hospital and Al-Ahli hospital were located in GC.

? Where did you see that fuel is coming?
Cruelty is the point. They want all Palestinians gone. This has nothing to do with Hamas. Hamas is just their excuse
A monhun friend of mine in Shanghai shared with me this memes whenever Israel talk about Hamas.
It's so cartoonish evil it doesn't feel like reality.
MRI gates seems to be making the rounds. IDF posts a supposed cache of Hamas guns right next to an MRI machine lmao the roughshod propaganda around the justification of bombing hospitals has been absurd.
I guess I forgot that Ehud Olmert got out of prison.
Fixed.
Oh we're definitely headed into "Actually Hamas leadership was in the West Bank all along"A monhun friend of mine in Shanghai shared with me this memes whenever Israel talk about Hamas.
It's so cartoonish evil it doesn't feel like reality.
They really going to Princess is in Another Castle this shit until all of Gaza is gone.
Edit: analogy already taken apologies
If the world lets Israel flatten Khan Younis then the entire notion of war crimes and Geneva Convention protocols are essentially invalidated and no longer matter. Bombing the south to any large degree is a green light for every Palestinian to take up arms and fight back. They have the right to defend themselves.
Not a doubt is left that that Israeli admin ever believed in a 2 state solution. In their view, they are just speed running their 1 state plan before the first global push back.
I hate to say it, but I think this time Israel may be successful. It's as bleak as it can get, the information is as free to view as it ever has been, yet nothing has changed positively.

Ok did some reading into Ehud Olmert who was Israel's prime minster before Netanyahu , and I'm going to say to take his claim with a healthy grain of salt. Did some background research into him, and just from the surface IMO there is a very good chance he is just saying that to "troll" Netanyahu as there is a lot of beef between them to the point that you could say that they are definitely feuding.

I think you are right. They will annex Gaza de facto and move towards West Bank next. There just isn't any support for Palestinians from major world powers. Extremely sad and morally depraved situation.

Israel-Hamas war updates: Aid groups warn Israel’s siege strangling Gaza
These were the Israel-Hamas war updates for Friday, November 17.
Yeah, plenty of Palestinians debunked that video last week. Couldn't post about it cause of the rules here, sadly. Good on France 24 for bringing it to light though.
Just another entry in the long list of propaganda that enable this disgusting genocide. Israeli supporters really can't fucking act lol.
Media Hasan making a Netanyahu advisor squirm is so satisfying to watch.

Mehdi: Here is blatant propaganda. Why have you not taken it down?
Mark: I'll talk to the government official that posted it if you'd like. He's a good man.
….if you'd like?!?!
Seriously...they don't understand that it makes THEM look bad. Taking it down would only help THEM. Treating it like he's doing Mehdi a favor by taking it down as if they're not showing their whole ass keeping it up.
it's a feature
belligerency, stand-offish attitudes, attacking, bullying, blackmailing, threatening, gaslighting etc are all techniques that the Israeli government has used for decades. Never admit to any wrong doing and attack anyone who poses any sort of challenge
it's so fucking exhausting
I'm so glad we have Mehdi. 20 years ago you would not get this kind of pushback. But also I suppose the Internet has made it easier to crowd source truth, and cut through lies, propaganda, and BS.
Sanders is getting closer to calling for ceasefire and calling out specifically Israel to stop their bombing campaign. So that's something. Warren said something similar as well.

Good article to read for the pinkwashing liberals. I didnt know about the blackmails. Jesus Christ can this government stoop any lower?
We're only getting the truth spread this loudly now is because of years of the internet and social media making it available to the general populace. MSM is showing that they'd bury this if they could - they're engaging because the spread of information is forcing them to engage. And it certainly doesn't help that Israel's barely trying to contain and their propaganda is buckling at even the slightest pressure. It's fantastic to have a real no-nonsense reporter like Mehdi on a major network but you know Israel has lost the fucking plot when not even Wolf Blitzer is buying their shit.
Hard not to see this as another Nakba.

Absolute fucking farce
It's wild to see someone like Sanders who is supposedly considered as far left in America adopting a position that would be considered radically right in most countries in refusing to explicitly advocate for a ceasefire.
I don't actually think there's anyone in the 160 elected representatives in Ireland who isn't calling for a ceasefire. That's like the minimum starting point even for those on the furthest edges of the right.
Makes sense, all the Hospitals in north Gaza are destroyed time to get to work on the hospitals in the south.

Meanwhile, Elon and Tucker Carlson, and a bunch of others were openly spreading white replacement theory stuff on Twitter and the ADL and similar orgs stayed quiet. Not to mention inviting John Hagee to the Israeli march earlier this week.
This moral outrage around "from the river to the sea", college students and protests is honestly insane to me. Like the IDF, these people only know to bully students and regular folk. They dont do shit when its actually people in power and influence that spread horrific antisemitism.

It's what Bassem Youssef has said two weeks ago on the topic of anti-Semitism and how it is being applied in the US specifically.

After censorship on Palestinian activism on twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Tumblr, Amy Schumer - who equated all Gazans to rapists and terrorists, doxed and attacked Palestinian activists and demanded that all black people stand with Israel because she was pro blm - supported by the likes of Debra Messing and Sacha Baron, are now trying to get tiktok to clamp down on Palestinian activism.
These bigots can be as Islamophobic as possible and equate an entire people to rapists and terrorists - no consequences. But young people making educational videos on TikTok about Palestine is the 'biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis' according to Islamophobe Cohen.

I think Germany has banned 'from the river to the sea' or made it illegal while their own far right parties like AfD have been steadily increasing.

They are not stopping at Gaza. That much is clear. They are going to go for west bank next. Jordan have started a makeshift hospital and even sent tons of bodybags. Something is going to happen and it won't be pretty.
It's awful and I don''t know what to even say anymore. The world is watching this happen and nobody is stopping it.

Bernie acting like this is what made me lose hope in things improving. Fuck him. Can't believe I ever liked this guy. He is the same as all the others.
Absolutely. The current plan is to deny any form of aid and create a humanitarian disaster that will eradicate most of the Palestinians people, which they are well on the way to doing. There are going to be some horrific images and videos that will come out of Gaza in the coming weeks of malnourished and disheveled people without shelter in the coming weeks. That is if there is enough communication infrastructure left to show the world their suffering.
And I guess was under a rock to learn that Sacha Baron Cohen is such a disgusting person. Certainly puts his Borat performances in a different light.
I knew Schumer's brain had rotted but I had no idea Cohen was this fucking stupid.
Its a real shame.
Cohen and Debra Messing have liked all of Schumer's hateful posts about Palestinians and supported her when she faced backlash for attacking a black activist on Instagram. Also isn't Cohen's comedy full of racist Arab caricatures?
So very disappointed in Bernie. A genocide happening with US aid and the leader of the left/progressives in government can't even say the word 'ceasefire'.
baby steps. One of my reps also released a statement today acknowledging that Israel's assault is horrific and has to end. Not quite a full throated ceasefire call, but the tide is slowly shifting even for the rank and file Dems. Keep calling, keep demonstrating, keep up the pressure.
Muslims have been saying Sacha is an asshole for a long time but everyone hand waved it as "its just a joke bro". This guy made his career off of making fun of Muslims. He's always been a piece of shit and I thank him for showing his true colors for the world to see.
As far as society has come, its still openly islamophobic.
Bassem is a legend. Great interview.
Germany is a shit show. They're never on the right side of history for anything. I also saw photos of Muslim graves in a city in Germany being defaced with swastikas and stars of david flying around. Disgusting.
Seems like none of this suppression was able to prevent protests in Berlin from breaking out.

The thing is, the more time it takes to call a ceasefire, the more people die. Hundreds are being killed everyday while the likes of Sanders and Warren take baby steps towards calling for a ceasefire. A ceasefire now would save thousands of lives.
It's an urgent, emergency situation. It was urgent two weeks ago, it's even more urgent now. Hospitals all demolished, people displaced, thousands of dead children, amputations being performed with no anesthesia. Doctors been asking for a ceasefire for more than two weeks now. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have been protesting in the streets, writing their senators and calling to their elected reps.
If they can't support a ceasefire now, what are they waiting for? Are they waiting for Gaza to get decimated and Palestinians be driven out before calling for one?

It's so fucking depressing that this is the best guy the US has at that level of power. Fucking pathetic.
Yeah I suppose the question there is, if our government baby steps towards a ceasefire but the distance is a marathon, and by the time they get there what's left of Palestine is no longer sustainable as any sort of unified state and everyone has to leave or starve anyway, how much credit do our reps *really* get after all that? How much difference? Hope we don't have to find out.
I'm sure the people will give them all the credit they need to sweep all of the bodies under the rug and keep on keeping on.
In reality, there's no credit to be given at all anymore and there hasn't been for weeks.
