    Israeli artillery is intensively shelling an Indonesian hospital in the northern Gaza Strip. Al Jazeera TV channel reports this.

    According to him, as a result of massive artillery shelling, many of its patients and refugees were injured. In addition, after a shell explosion in the courtyard of a medical facility, at least one medical worker was injured.

    The channel notes that Israeli forces "fire at anyone who tries to leave the territory of the Indonesian hospital."

    🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸IOF drones reportedly shoot at anyone trying to leave the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza.

    5,000 displaced Gazans and 650 patients are in the hospital, which has only 140 beds. Despite the lack of power as a result of the IOF bombing, 20 ICU patients on ventilators are being kept alive with a small generator.

    Journalists, doctors, and refugees have been wounded by the bombing, and others have been martyred.

    Quote Posted by Miller (here)
    For many many years I've wondered whether there was oil or gas beneath Israel, given its geographical position in the Middle East and the amount in neighbouring countries. And in this thread somewhere, there's a post that Gaza was thinking of licensing gas to Russia (not sure where it is now . . .), so a motive for the total clearance of Gaza is becoming clearer.
    Yes, as highlighted above, A motive. Of course it's way more hybridised than that. It was the same heuristic employed around Iraq: "It's all about the oil!" they screamed. Well, that was a useful by-product of occupation and regime change, for sure, and definitely a motivator, but resource acquisition is seldom ever just about well, that.

    So so much about of all these events pivots around maleficent spiritual forces and sating their appetite/s for a different kind of energy resource: souls
    Agreed Tintin, and it seems inevitable that in the not too distant future the whole of the (Western) world will live in separate 15 minute Gazas, all of us at the mercy of the WEF to do with as they damn well please .


    As per...(below)..from Robin Monotti:
    "GAZA, PALESTINE, 2023. The era of "postcolonialism". Let this serve as a warning to all people of the world. Once they box you into a "15 minute city", they can then kill you, and nobody on the planet will do anything at all to save you. They can blame "terrorism" that they themselves created through their actions, that they themselves supported, that they themselves funded. Do not let them box you into 15 minute cities. Fight like hell to stop them doing this to you too. Their enemies are not simply Palestinians, it's all of us. We are all Palestinians to them. We are all Palestinians to the psychopathic oligarchy."

    i have not had much to say or add to ths thread and its horrific realities.

    I have two good friends who do not know each other. One a muslim, and one a jew. They are both good decent and fair minded people

    I get one on the phone and they see it one way, I get the other on the phone and they see it the opposite.

    should they ever meet, would one ever convince the other? I think not.

    children from both sides would play together. but they need to be very young

    "A complete collapse of morality", says Alastair Crooke. Quite rightly so.

    "The hatred and anger of the Islamic world towards Israel and the west has turned ice cold."

    He also explains how Israel's deeply ingrained, driving political view is Old Testament Messianic, racist, and supremacist. (But those are my words, not his.) And that if Iran enters the war, Israel will be destroyed.

    This is the highest-quality interview, even more so because of Alastair Crooke's calm, precise, detailed, fact-driven demeanor.

    This footage released by the IDF is doing the rounds on X today and I've already responded to commentators who have tweeted these images out.

    I'm a little dubious on the provenance but others of you here may be able to clarify one or two points of note:
    1. The clock on the wall shows 16:07 although the second hand doesn't appear to move which may mean the battery has run low. The reflections on the face do seem to be consistent with the movement we see in the corridor.

    2. The digitised timestamp is magnified after a couple of seconds in each shot and the dates appear as 07-10-2023 and 10-07-2023. Is this footage from October 7th or perhaps even July 10th?

    3. Can we be certain this is Al-Shifa hospital we're looking at here?

    • Scott Ritter: "Israel Has Dug It's Over Grave.. They Will Not Exist In 20 Years!..":

    Scott Ritter issues a grave warning, suggesting that Israel, feeling the pressure in the Palestine conflict, may resort to extreme measures, including a nuclear threat. The title implies a heightened sense of urgency, urging viewers to explore Ritter's perspective on the potential consequences of Israel's actions in response to challenges in the region.

    A new interview about the entire Israel situation with Col. Douglas Macgregor, just published. I do have to say, Macgregor sounded most discouraged and fatalistic.

    Listen to the very end
    ... it continues beyond the point where Judge Napolitano first thanks him for his time and contribution.

    Hamas is not finished with its terror brigade. Now wants West Bank to commit same atrocity as on October 7.

    Even normal Palestinians are ratting out the Hamas terrorists.

    White House says captives deal 'closer than we've ever been'

    US President Joe Biden told reporters Monday he believes a deal with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza is close.

    "I believe so" were the US President's words when questioned on the matter.

    Meanwhile, the White House said the negotiations were in the "endgame" stage, but refused to give further details, saying it could jeopardize a successful outcome.

    "We believe we're closer than we've ever been, so we're hopeful," National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby told reporters.

    "But there's still work to be done. And nothing is done until it's all done. So we're going to keep working on this."

    Kirby added that arrangements were still being made on all sides.

    "When you hit go, you're counting on everybody to meet their commitments. And that's what we're doing," he said.

    Despite the ongoing war on Gaza, "Israel's" ambassador to the US, Michael Herzog, told ABC News on Sunday that Israeli officials were hopeful Hamas will free a major number of captives "in the coming days."

    Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, revealed, on Sunday, that a deal to free Israeli captives is facing "minor" practical issues. "The challenges that remain in the negotiations are very minor compared to the bigger challenges, they are more logistical, they are more practical," Al Thani told a joint press conference with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.

    Qatar has played a role in mediating talks to free some of the Israeli captives, approximately 240 in total. The efforts have resulted in the release of four captives so far.

    In a related context, according to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, "Israel" must do "everything it can" to allow humanitarian assistance to reach those besieged in the Gaza Strip.

    Likewise, Congresswoman Cori Bush highlighted the opposition to the unconditional US support for "Israel's" war crimes.

    She posted on X: "By overwhelming margins, young voters are telling us that the U.S.’ unconditional support of Netanyahu’s war crimes is policy they DO NOT support. @POTUS."

    She also called for a ceasefire, releasing all captives, and ending the siege on Gaza.

    On Sunday, Jonathan Finer, Biden's Deputy National Security Advisor, told CNN's Jake Tapper that Qatar's efforts at mediating a release agreement were "extremely close", adding that the US has been following the situation "minute by minute, hour by hour, up to the level of the President."

    Speaking on behalf of the administration, he pledged the US would upkeep its efforts to "get these people home" particularly considering the "dangerous situation in Gaza."

    He failed to mention that the dangerous situation in Gaza is essentially the result of the relentless attacks initiated by the Israeli occupation, which has blatantly disregarded its own people's lives.

    This footage released by the IDF is doing the rounds on X today and I've already responded to commentators who have tweeted these images out.

    I'm a little dubious on the provenance but others of you here may be able to clarify one or two points of note:
    1. The clock on the wall shows 16:07 although the second hand doesn't appear to move which may mean the battery has run low. The reflections on the face do seem to be consistent with the movement we see in the corridor.

    2. The digitised timestamp is magnified after a couple of seconds in each shot and the dates appear as 07-10-2023 and 10-07-2023. Is this footage from October 7th or perhaps even July 10th?

    3. Can we be certain this is Al-Shifa hospital we're looking at here?

    Let's not assume it's a lie, but it is from the IDF. Some input would be appreciated. Thanks

    The Palestinian resistance is holding, and killing their families and other civilians will not discourage them or free the hostages.

    In the more than six weeks since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood began, Israel’s objectives under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have come under increasing domestic and international scrutiny. By concentrating its efforts on a relatively small area in northern Gaza, the Israeli government and military have faced domestic accusations of failing not only to protect settlers but also to secure the freedom of the 244 Israeli prisoners and to stop Hamas’s daily bombardments. This situation calls into question Netanyahu’s promise to protect Israel and raises questions about the real and undeclared aims of the Israeli military campaign in northern Gaza.

    Contrary to the initial objectives of neutralising Hamas, destroying its capabilities and freeing prisoners, the focus seems to have shifted to breaking the will of the Palestinian resistance. This shift is evident in the tactics used: the targeting of families, children and relatives of resistance members and the destruction of essential civilian infrastructure such as schools, places of worship, hospitals and utilities such as water, electricity and fuel supplies. The intention seems to be to force a surrender and turn public opinion in Gaza against Hamas. However the Palestinian resistance remains steadfast, claiming that this systematic indiscriminate killing of civilians only strengthens their resolve to resist what they describe as an unaccountable racist entity committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.

    Israel’s approach to this conflict, backed by substantial military capabilities and international support, particularly from the United States, has been criticised for its indiscriminate nature. The widespread destruction in Gaza, which has affected both the northern and southern regions, appears to have claimed more than 12,000 civilian lives and infrastructure, including United Nations facilities. More than 103 UN staff have reportedly been killed, despite international outcry and condemnation from various levels of the UN and calls for an immediate ceasefire.

    The Israeli military’s strategy appears to be a scorched earth policy, recognising that Hamas is unlikely to be defeated by simply occupying northern Gaza. This strategy is aimed at forcing the local population to migrate south – not for safety, as the UN says there is no safe area in Gaza, but to clear northern Gaza for the creation of a buffer zone. This zone is intended to provide a sense of security for the Israeli occupying settlers, who remain reluctant to return in the face of continued threats and the potential for future attacks by Hamas.
