Gaza is not suffering from lack of food. I mean, lack of food, maybe. But not famine.
I would expect photos of hungry people at the streets, from the masters of PR. Not some two kids at the HOSPITAL alleged suffering from famine while there are at least 100 other reasons that they can look like that.
It’s been a month or so from the last call on hunger in Gaza. Still nothing. Same children at same reports.
All reports going out from Gaza are lies to begins with. I trust no Palestinian reporter and no UN UNRWA 10/7 participator for the reports. Those people stay in line for the photos.
I’ll let time to be the judge.


I agree on the point to let time be the Judge.

in the meantime...

"...On a webinar Wednesday, a senior leader at the American Jewish Committee had a conversation with David Satterfield, the US Special Envoy for Middle East Humanitarian Issues, who was appointed after October 7 as the State Department’s point person on the distribution of Gaza aid. AJC’s statement mourning the WCK strike condemned Hamas and praised the steps Israel took in response. On Wednesday’s call, the group’s representatives sought to convey concern about Gaza aid while also expressing support for Israel. Satterfield faced sometimes pointed questioning from AJC Chief Policy and Political Affairs Officer Jason Isaacson about Israel’s responsibility to deliver aid when Hamas remains entrenched in parts of Gaza. Satterfield said Israel does have a responsibility under international law, and that it also hasn’t been doing enough. “The humanitarian element has lagged. Not enough has been done. And much much more is required here,” Satterfield said. He also said Gaza truly is on the brink of famine, contradicting some pro-Israel advocates, mostly on the right, who have said reports of widespread food shortages are overstated."

--------------

I guess Satterfield will be shot dead if he ever steps foot in Israel. How dare he suggest famine. and lets not forget Eylon Levy... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eylon_Levy

--------------

In an online row with UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron Levy said in response to a tweet from Cameron urging Israel "to allow more [aid] trucks into Gaza":[34][35]

"I hope you are also aware there are NO limits on the entry of food, water, medicine, or shelter equipment into Gaza, and in fact the crossings have EXCESS capacity. Test us. Send another 100 trucks a day to Kerem Shalom and we'll get them in."

Cameron commented on Levy's claims that there were “no limits” on the entry of aid into Gaza, and that the Kerem Shalom border crossing into Gaza was closed on Saturdays because of the UN, in a letter addressed to MP Alicia Kearns:[34] In response to the Israeli spokesman claims you quote in your letter, I can confirm that the UN has not requested that the Kerem Shalom crossing is closed on Saturdays. It is our understanding that Israel closes it due to the Sabbath. [...] It is of enormous frustration that UK aid for Gaza has been routinely held up waiting for Israeli permission. For instance, I am aware of some UK funded aid being stuck at the border for just under three weeks waiting for approval. The main blockers remain arbitrary denials by the Government of Israel and lengthy clearance procedures, including multiple screenings and narrow opening windows in daylight hours.[34] Levy was suspended after the UK Foreign Office expressed "surprise" to Israel's foreign ministry and sought clarification on whether his tweets represented the Israeli government's official position. A report in the Financial Times paraphrased the UK's query as: "Is this the way allies speak to each other?"[35]

I guess David Cameron is Persona non grata in Israel too.

Good post



1. Iran was building up capacity and trying to resolve the Syrian crisis as main objective. There was no point to escalate. "took it from behind" - no need for such low-tier commentary.
2. Is exactly what i said as well, an attack on iranian oil will not have this approach. Did you even read my post?
3. Has less to do with nuclear capability, and more to do with lessons of iran/iraq war. Direct war is incredibly costly, and should be avoided at all costs. Also you obviously didn´t read my post, i said if israel attacks iranian oil they would 100% hit every desalination plant in israel among other things.
4. 85 missiles is nothing. Lebanon alone has an arsenal of 100.000+ missiles. How long would isreali AA last? Just to put things into perspective, the US produces 550 patriots missiles a year. Would you bet that israel AA will survive 100.000-200.000 missiles in the span of 1-2months, with full coverage of military installations as well as other civilian infrastructure?
5. If full war breaks out, all iranian proxies will be activated.

As for jordan/egypt/saudis, etc they have their own interests, and it has less to do with anti-iran sentiment and more to do with containing the conflict. Jordan for example would go to war to avoid Palestinian succes.

The last point is mostly correct, but you gotta understand iran is 2000+ km away from israel, and it is a massive country with 90million population. The only way you can win a war against them is if the US helps (doubt). Finally, this is not 2003, the US is already too stretched if they have a trip into iran, taiwan and ukraine will be gone.

People are too stuck in 1990-2000´s mindset.


huh ?

1. Iran was giving us clues and hints and talked and talked so we will estimate the retaliation and the places they aimed for. they did everything in their control to make sure it's a "safe" yet " meaningful reaction that will not escalate Israel to a direct hit on them.
2. sorry, i don't even know what you refer to
3. has everything to do with nuclear practical ability. you can't hit stuff with ballistic missiles if you are terrified os losing your control over your country, one with brains will not do such idiotic things.
4. 85+ ballistic missiles out of 200 missiles that launched in general towards Israel is refereed to the quality and credibility of their own manufactured ballistic missile. my comment was referred to the failed launches a night and a half ago that no one bothered to post. how do you start a war when 40-50% of your missles can go off and explode on launch ?
get what im saying ?
Israel is not relying on patriots, those are one of the several defensive layers we posses.
Hezbollah 100k+ rockets ( not Lebanon ), 85-90% of those are "brain dead" rockets of various distances. most of them are not even going to be intercepted.
if you are so familiar with the defensive miracles of Israel, you should already know mr.wizard that Iron Dome and the higher layers are not intercepting anything that considered to be a land on "open field".
5. Iranian proxies aren't worth mentioning excluding Hezbollah. Hamas is done, it's a matter of time before it's completely done. Hezbollah has problems from inside of Lebanon so i would not count on them to fully fire on Israeli civilians, if that's the case - read the last post i stated.
6. as you saw night and a half ago - Jordan was playing alongside Israel. U.S will enable Israel and stick right by the side of us with more defensive tools and actions. we don't need beyond that.
7. you are not familiar with everything my country has, both technologically and militantly ( not talking about nukes ).
8. we don't need to attack Iran's open fields, we have no intention to cover Iran's massive size, it's not even on the board. Iran has far more easy yet crucial targets to take out.
9. why do you think that Hezbollah's missiles ( the bigger\more accurate ones for example ) will even be launched ? i would assume based on my IDF service and my knowledge that around 10-15% of thier entire arsenal will be gone before it gets launched. most definitely the strategic accurate ones.

Iran poses to our neighbors the same trouble that it poses to us. you can't rely on your proxies to win a war for ya, you can sure take away the heat from your own yard but it will not get you your true desire ( wiping Israel off the map of this planet ). and those proxies are in a complicated situation ( yo have no idea how much Hezbollah is hated from inside ... ) on the true day, they will not be as useful as you tend to believe.

Iran has shown to the world 2 days ago that it has drones, missiles, cruise missiles and that their quality control is flawed with a pathetic statistic of successful launches.
Israel has shown an expensive yet 99.5~% effective to the bone defensive layers, Jordan helped, Brits helped, Americans helped.

who the fuck would you think aid Iran in a direct war ? North Korea ? Russia ? il tell ya - on one. Hezbollah will enter with skeptical involvement, and several Yemen drones at best. im not dissing their abilities, im just far more realistic and familiar with ours.

if im living in the 90's , you are riding on some Iran's carpet thinking they are masters of something outside of arming proxies. drone and missiles factories are also an easy target heh.

good night, time will tell. your Israeli buddy.

Why don't we just get Israelis and Palestinians to do some shrooms together? We need some enthiogenic-level interventions in order to have some semblance of peace in the Middle East.

come now.. iv seen stuff and been to places.

optimism has nothing to do with facts.

Iran is a cunning enemy. it;s just not the enemy you represented in your comment earlier with various inaccuracies and missing information. that's about it, it has nothing to do with my optimism.

right, im not fancy with my English coming here once in a decade so im not searching for your or anyone's approval.

i just came to reply back on your inaccuracies as a local dude who knows more than you on these issues. you can deflect it as optimism, it's really not ;/

that's not me debating in a bad way, i simply type fast what i think ( maybe with grammer mistakes ) and in your case - you made some bold and false claims in regard of this issue

you can accept my critism or you can ignore it - not my problem

On paper israel loses 1967, Yemenis lose 2015, afghanistan loses 2001, US vietnam 1969 etc

Sure, iran could collapse internally tomorrow, or it doesn´t. Perhaps it already collapsed in 1998 when world-powers backed iraq, but somehow it survived without a dent to the frontline and managed to kill 200.000-500.000 iraqis directly after a revolution and sanctions..

You are certainly optimistic, a country 2000 km away, with 10 times the population and a self-sufficient military industry that is modernizing with help of russia & china.

I don´t have a horse in the game, by the way. If i had, i would be even more careful about the bombastic over-confidence, afterall it is the survival of your people that is concerned.

some are new, some are older variations. several that landed on Iran itself were new.
source: my own Israeli source.

the statistics ? the facts ? the general around 50%~ failed launches ? you can google it, im sure you will find what your looking for.
