    If Germans and French can become allies after everything between Napoleon and Hitler, then Palestinians and Israelis can stop being enemies.

    Sorry Gaza needs to be both demilitarized and have verification checks going forward

    further we need re education processes that teach children that Hamas was an entity that only hurt gazans and was a stain of embarrassment upon its own people -
    I have confidence in the future- just like that little kid that high fived the IDF soldier when the Palestinian PRO- Hamas adult who is trying to record the child getting killed on video- (actually hoping the gazan child gets shot and appearing disappointed when it didn't happen)

    You don't have to be sorry.

    Nothing we post on here has larger implications than what plays out in this niche sub-forum. for better or worse.

    hopefully more scenes like this plays out- the future can be saved once Hamas is gone and the mindset they have to want to sacrifice their own children if it means hurting Israel

    the children of Gaza deserves better than a Gaza controlled Hamas @AroundTheWorld

    Crack down on media

    https://rsf.org/en/al-jazeera-be-ba...ecedented-censorship-after-months-persecution

    Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls for the repeal of a newly adopted Israeli law that would allow the government to shut down foreign media in Israel, targeting Al Jazeera channel. This censorship of one of the last international media outlets able to provide reporting from Gaza since 7 October is unacceptable, RSF says.

    “The terror channel Al Jazeera will no longer broadcast from Israel,” Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu announced in a post on X after the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, passed a law by 71 votes to 10 on 1 April allowing the government to temporally ban “foreign broadcast networks deemed a national security risk,” close their bureaux in Israel, seize their equipment and block access to their websites.

    As underscored by the prime minister’s post, the new law above all targets Al Jazeera, one of the few international TV news broadcasters still able to cover the war from Gaza.

    “Israel is using every possible method to try to silence Al Jazeera for its coverage of the reality of the fate of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza since 7 October. The Israeli parliament's vote to censor Al Jazeera, and Benjamin Netanyahu's defamatory remarks about its journalists are unacceptable. RSF demands that the Israeli authorities end their aggressive harassment of Al Jazeera. Such censorship legislation, under the guise of democratic regulation, implicitly targeting a specific media outlet, creates a precedent fraught with dangers for journalism in Israel.

    After accusing Al Jazeera of being a “Hamas mouthpiece” and repeatedly describing Al Jazeera’s journalists as “terror operatives,” Israel now has the legislative means to carry out its threats to close the Qatari broadcaster’s bureau. This could happen very soon as Likud – the party leading the ruling coalition – has already said the Prime Minister “would act immediately to close Al Jazeera.”

    The Israeli government already approved a regulation last November allowing the closure of foreign media, including Al Jazeera. The Israeli intelligence agency Mossad voiced support for this decision at the time, considering that Al Jazeera “endangers” the activities of the Israel Defence Forces.

    Israel gains nothing by deliberately killing aid workers from other allied countries. One doesn’t need to take John Kirby’s word for it.

    The most likely explanation, even if not satisfying to the “Israel is committing genocide” contingent, is that there was a breakdown in communication somewhere and they wrongly ID’d the truck as a militant vehicle.

    The US military has also frequently mistakenly bombed civilians due to misidentification and procedural breakdowns. Even with all our sophisticated technology, this happens due to insufficient care and attention. Lethal “mistakes” in war are sadly common, and it’s ordinary people in war zones rather than the war planners and their cheerleaders who generally pay the price.

    The Israelis care less about aid workers than the Russians too. You're providing cover for their actions. This thread explains how the Israelis are knowingly taking risks that they don't have too

    Russia is fighting a different type of enemy and they don’t have the US on their side. They need to be more cautious.

    All I was saying is I don’t think Israel is deliberately killing aid workers, particularly Western nationals. They absolutely should do more to accommodate and protect aid workers struggling to provide assistance to the beleaguered civilians caught in the middle of this horror show.

    An American self-proclaimed Zionist scolding an Israeli citizen (she says she is a former intelligence officer for the IDF) for expressing shame over what happened with the aid truck:
