    It's hilarious how folks like @LosPollosHermanos think that Candace owens and tucker have any power with Trump. They'll lick his ass and spin whatever side he's on tomorrow. None of these folks have a spine.

    This is the real GOP/MAGA.

    Saying that the number of food trucks entering the strip is MORE after the war started doesn't pass the simple smell test.

    According to the report below, it's:

    Pre war: 150 daily = 4500 / month
    During war: 65 daily = 1950 / month

    https://www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-website/alerts-archive/issue-97/en/

    "Imports. Between January and September 2023, a daily average of 150 food trucks entered the Gaza Strip. Between 8 October 2023 and 9 March 2024, this number decreased to an average of 65 trucks per day33 and the availability of food commodities has dramatically declined. Since the escalation of the hostilities, the number of trucks allowed into the Gaza Strip has been severely restricted, reducing the inflow of humanitarian assistance and preventing the entry of commercial goods completely until 8 December 2023. Since then, there was an initial increase in the flow of food and non-food commodities, facilitated through the opening of a second border crossing (Kerem Shalom).

    33 UNRWA, Gaza Supply and Dispatch tracking, March 2024."

    Israel said advancing plan for Arab peacekeepers to secure Gaza aid deliveries

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/israe...b-peacekeepers-to-secure-gaza-aid-deliveries/
    Reports say proposed force to be staffed by troops from 3 unnamed Arab countries at peace with Israel, would be charged with protecting aid convoys from pillaging


    Israel is pushing for the establishment of an international peacekeeping force to secure the Gaza Strip and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid in it, multiple Hebrew media outlets reported Friday evening, indicating a likely coordinated leak.

    The reports all said Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he had made headway on the matter during his visit to Washington this week.

    The force would be composed of troops from three different unnamed Arab countries — though not Saudi Arabia or Qatar, the latter being a longtime patron of Hamas that is one of the mediators in hostage-for-truce talks. Some reports intimated that Egypt and the UAE were two of the countries, and that the third also has a peace treaty with Israel. The force would be managed by the US, but with no American forces on the ground.

    The idea is backed by the United States, the reports said. The force would likely be armed to uphold law and order and would work with Gazans who don’t have links to Hamas, ostensibly figures linked to the Palestinian Authority. US support, however, is contingent on Israel beginning to implement a post-war plan for the rehabilitation of Gaza, such as Gallant’s “day after” plan, which he presented three months ago, the reports said.

    Levy was fired by the ISRAELI govt for lying about the aid trucks. I hope you read that last part @AroundTheWorld because posting him as a source looks really really out of touch

    Nobody is denying that most Israelis could possibly watch Al Jazeera. They don't because they don't want to see images of the IDF committing genocide and have closed minds.
    An example might help. ATW could watch AL Jazeera, but he won't. I believe he could get access to it at least online if he wanted to.

    I don't know what is real and what isn't anymore. Just give me some LSD.

    Or, better yet, maybe we should give them some LSD? Yea.

    Can Levy explain how they determined who is a terrorist and who isn't, or is that not in his talking points package?

    Not only have I watched plenty of Al Jazeera, I have given them interviews, too. But they are basically a terror propaganda station. RT is a Putin propaganda station. BBC and the public German TV stations are leftist propaganda stations.

    The probability to hit a terrorist is about the same as to hit a Kim, Lee or Park if you hit a random person in Korea.

    This sounds a lot like you’re saying the hits (on a major hospital) were indiscriminate with the tacit assumption that all the people there are terrorists.

    They were not. But Hamas uses human shields, as we all know.

    So when Levy, who you approvingly quoted, says “in fact” no medical personnel or patients were harmed — is he just pulling that statement out of his rear end? Because now you’re suggesting they may have been harmed but if so it’s Hamas’s fault for also being there.
