Arch – pluz need your update. vital. back in Nov-Oct 2023, the IDF tried to overwhelm Gaza with (I recall) 40,000 Ground forces – miserable fail. Wondering if the second time using the same failed strategy is different.

What do you call the actions of a state that’s destroyed another people’s hospitals, blocked all food and water reaching them, and is now denying entry to foreign doctors to treat the sick, wounded and starving?
Is it a war?
Is it eliminating terrorists?
Or is it genocide?

Your above assertion puts you exactly in the same fetid category of the Zionists.
Shame on you, Archie-you are better than that.
Finally, you are stupid-Hamas treats the hostages well so that when they are released they have sympathy for its captors and tell about how frightened they were of the Israeli constant bombings-killing them all would lose all of that goodwill and PR..
The Hamas leaders are hell of a lot smarter that you, Arch.

Hamas lays down arms and releases hostages, Israel claims this will end war – so Hamas should call Israel’s bluff. If Israel pursues war against a peaceful gaza, then any country will have great difficulty supporting Israel, I say the rational move is to call Israel’s bluff.

Arch,
Just watched a 25 minute John Elmer video analyzing a recent Al-Qassem platoon sized firefight with a IDF company. The IDF unit was part of the new & improved flood-the-zone 2.0 offensive.
Conclusion – its more of the same we have seen for last 20 months; poorly trained and led IDF getting outgunned by Al-Qassem soldiers.
Note – the IDF strategy of scorched earth and clearing away rubble might eventually be successful, since Al-Qassem relies on using rubble for cover when popping out of underground fortress. TBD

Thank you for mentioning the Golden Age before Thatcher was even born, the age before taking responsibility meant making as much money as possible.
The age when taking responsibility meant fearing the Day of Judgement.
The Western world post Thatcher no longer fears being held accountable for supporting the starving, raping, bombing, imprisoning, exiling, or genociding of an imprisoned population.
So when the Jews do all these moral obscenities, the Thatcherite West sees nothing wrong with it.
Even the Muslims describe it as ‘doing what you have to do’ in order to ‘look after yourself’.
‘If salt loses its flavour, with what will you salt it? ‘ Gospels . Jesus AS.
Even the leader of HTS shakes the fat fingers of the Potus who wants Gaza and the West Bank cleared of its people for him to build a Freedom Zone. In other words, ‘ doing what you have to do in order to look after yourself’.
Jewlani is a Thatcherite , sucking on the teats of Thatcher’s privatisation Maggggots. Yuck!. I hope I get banned from MoA forever for speaking that truth. The post-Thatcher world has no concept of morality except for looking after yourself. Believe me, if that is the case: The world is ready to finish.

NEW: After burning to death at least 30 Palestinians—“mostly women and children,” according to the Palestinian Health Ministry—the Israeli military is claiming, without providing evidence, that the Fahmi al-Jarjawi school in Gaza City was a “command and control centre” for Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
In a joint statement with Shin Bet, it said the school-turned-shelter, which was housing displaced families, was struck because it was being “used by the terrorists to plan and gather intelligence in order to execute terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and [army] troops.”
In other words, Israel’s military is justifying the strike on the school—which burned at least 6 children to death—on the grounds that Palestinian resistance fighters may have used the site to observe Israeli forces and plan future operations..

What Chancellor Merz and the
Empire2 colonial Right realise now is that though they support and agree with US orders to ‘pick up West Asia and throw it against the wall’ , Nutyehu’s genocide is never going to be a solid foundation for a spree of Asian Conquest.
Netanyahu is scaring the horse and needs to be removed. The EU colonialists assumed that Hamas would be easily trashed. It’s all going horribly wrong because they underestimated the Shia Axis of Resistance. They underestimated Russia and its Asian diplomacy , thinking Asia was full of hypocrites like Erdogan and Qatar.
Maybe a little chill has cooled their dreams of conquering Asia after seeing the stubborness and rationality of Hamas. But, like Ukraine, after 19 months of fighting, they’re too far into their programme of colonising Asia to turn back.
Fuck diplomacy like Tom Fletcher, pleading politely for the UN to do the right thing. If the West wanted to do the right thing, they would have already done it.
Trump will have to cage Netanyahu and his lippy, foam-flecky lapdogs.
When big ships like Trump have to do evasive manoeuvres , little things like European Chancellors on deck are going to fall off.

Notes…
Reports on negotiations are so confused as to be unfollowable.
There is a lot of criticism and wariness of food distribution, corruption being revealed, delays etc.
There are two main points with regards.
Firstly there is a local movement to reject turning up to supervised distribution sites, for a number of legitimate reasons (seen as a move to enact displacement, to register then target or seperate people, propaganda use, to encourage movement to a temporary camp, etc. )
Secondly most opinion is that the organisation is unfeasible. The number of sites (and amount said planned delivered) is said not workable, that it would lead to thousands congregating at the few sites, leading to overthrow and pillaging, that possibly being used as an excuse to open fire on civilians etc. The sites being in the south would mean large displacements that would either be physically difficult (or impossible) or otherwise simply empty the north.
So there is an air of great manipulation to the whole scheme.
No apparent change with Iran negotiations.
The Beijing 2024 mentioned earlier, I could not find the full text, but the concensus cosignature of Hamas and Fatah that I read did not recognise “Israel” or UN resolution, but was worded to those goals but without any limiting definition.
One reason Hamas non capitulation (exodus or submission etc. ) is so important is because they take the political stance of a single Palestine state. They were voted in on that policy. Should they capitulate it would be seen as a major deception to their people and to the cause of resistance to occupation. Obviously it is a position “Israel” does not tolerate and wishes to erase by any means.

ABC (OZ) pulls interview with Palestine advocate from website and iview
During the interview, Nasser Mashni made a pointed remark that it was time ‘for Palestine to be free, from the river to the sea’.
Daanyal Saeed
May 27, 2025
The ABC appears to have taken down an interview with the president of the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN), Nasser Mashni, about the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Mashni, a regular on the ABC, was interviewed by afternoon TV anchor Kathryn Robinson at around 3.30pm on Monday, and was asked about Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s recent remarks about Israel’s actions.
The interview was then uploaded to the ABC’s news site on Monday afternoon, but had been removed by Tuesday morning — although the link still appeared on Google. The footage was also removed from the ABC’s streaming service, iview.
The discussion was in relation to Albanese saying on Monday morning that Israel’s “excuses” for withholding humanitarian aid and for the blockade of food and supplies into Gaza were “completely untenable and without credibility”.

Jonathan Cook
@Jonathan_K_Cook
Israel’s claim that Hamas is “stealing aid” is so preposterous no serious journalist or politician ought to give it any kind of airing – yet there it is continuously cropping up in the coverage of Gaza.
How do I know Israel’s claim is utterly worthless? For this simple reason:
Israel has a fleet of surveillance drones constantly hovering over the tiny strip of land that is Gaza, monitoring every inch of the territory. The incessant whine you hear every time you watch someone there being interviewed is from one of those drones. They are Israel’s eyes on the enclave. If you are outside in Gaza, you might as well be living in the Truman Show.
Were Hamas stealing aid in Gaza, Israel would easily be able to document it. It would have the video footage from its drones. The fact that it has not provided any footage showing Hamas’ theft of aid – its ransacking of aid trucks, or its fighters smuggling themselves into aid warehouses – is confirmation enough that Israel has simply invented this claim to rationalise its plans to starve the people of Gaza to death through months of an aid blockade or force them to flee into neighbouring Sinai, whichever comes first.
Without its disinformation campaign about “Hamas stealing aid”, Israel knows popular revulsion at its starvation campaign would grow quickly, and western governments would further struggle to keep opposition in check.
There are lots of others reasons, of course, to reject Israel’s lies about “Hamas stealing aid”. Not least, because every single charity and aid agency dealing with Gaza says that aid is not being stolen by Hamas.
But also because, were Hamas fighters doing so, they would be stealing from their own families: from their children and grandparents, who are much more vulnerable to Israel’s starvation campaign than they are. The idea that Hamas is stealing aid makes sense only to a racist, European colonial mindset in which Hamas fighters are viewed as bogeymen figures indifferent to the deaths of their own children, wives and parents.
What undoubtedly is happening is that Israel is allowing the strongest extended families in Gaza – often crime families with significant private arsenals – to loot the aid. That has become a serious problem since Israel killed off Gaza’s civilian police force (in violation of international law), leaving no one to enforce public order.
When everyone’s starving, the most powerful families mobilise their strength to grab an unfair share of the aid. That was an entirely predictable outcome of Israel’s policy to smash all of Gaza’s institutions, including its hospitals, government offices, and police stations, on the bogus pretext that they were “Hamas”.
Note too that Israel has long cultivated close ties to Palestinian crime families, because they provide a potential alternative, and more co-optable, power base to the Palestinian national movements and are a good source of collaborators.
The evidence suggests Israel is encouraging these crime families to loot the aid precisely to justify its dismantling of an existing aid system that works remarkably well, given the catastrophic circumstances in Gaza, and replace it with its own militarised, completely inadequate “aid distribution” system, which is designed only to herd Palestinians into the southern-most tip of Gaza, ready to be expelled into Sinai.
No journalist ought to be repeating Israel’s transparent disinformation. To do so is to collude in the promotion of lies to justify genocide. But the western media class have been doing that now for more than a year and half. They have grown entirely insensible to their own active collusion in the genocide.

Bollocks that humanitarian aid was delivered to Palestinians today:
Drop Site
@DropSiteNews
BREAKING: Despite public statements from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) announcing the start of operations, no food aid entered the Strip today, a humanitarian coordinator in central Gaza told Drop Site News.
“Today not a single aid truck entered Gaza—except for three trucks carrying chlorine for the desalination plant in western Deir al-Balah. As for food aid, no flour or food items entered today at all,” he said.
▪️GHF, for its part, stated that it had commenced operations on Monday and delivered truckloads of food to newly established distribution sites, from which it said supplies were distributed to Palestinians. While the group did not say how much food was delivered, it released a photo showing Palestinians in Gaza collecting boxes of aid.
▪️The Gaza humanitarian coordinator disputed this point, telling Drop Site:
“The claims that [Palestinian civilians] went there for food today are not true; GHF has not conducted any distribution, either directly or through intermediaries, up to this point.”
▪️This coordinator, who liaises with international aid organizations and represents thousands of families in Deir al-Balah, added that GHF’s “media statements and publicity far outweigh their actual presence on the ground.”
He also said most Palestinian transport companies have refused to work with the group, and that local firms have issued statements rejecting coordination.
“GHF has no local recognition and no cooperation from UN agencies,” he said. “They are struggling to find a practical foothold just to appear operational.”
According to Times of Israel, a small number of lesser-known organizations have agreed to partner with GHF so far, including the U.S.-based aid group Rahma Worldwide, whose logo appears on the boxes seen in Monday’s photos.
GHF has said more trucks are expected to arrive tomorrow and that the flow of aid will increase daily.

I purposely use Nazism to force some of the cowardly here to be consistent. They have no issue saying the “Nazis” in Ukraine must be shot on the spot, ground into fertilizer, put into labor camps for life, even tortured. But when it comes to the “chosen” they are eerily silent. Stop being cowardly hypocrites, tell us what must be done to the ZioNazis.

Gaza Soup Kitchen Update — Still Cooking, Still Standing
Dear friends and heroes,
Salam, Shalom, Hola, Hi, and Marhaba —
All seven of our Gaza Soup Kitchens are still cooking. That alone is a miracle. It takes extraordinary grit, resilience, and heart to keep these fires going as food becomes even scarcer. The markets haven’t changed much — maybe a bit of flour trickling in, mostly for bakeries — but that’s it. There’s still no sign of variety or abundance. And yes, some of that flour has been looted. Not out of greed, but out of raw desperation — families trying to survive.
The best answer isn’t more policing. It’s more food. Flood Gaza with aid. Make a bag of flour cost $5 again — not $200. That’s the real path to dignity and stability.
To put it in perspective: if the borders had stayed open, 46,000 trucks of aid could have made it in. Right now? We’re barely seeing 500 trucks per week. That’s not enough to feed Gaza for even seven days.

Just a reminder not to feed trolls.

Just now …
“Israeli military:
Our field force opened fire at an aid distribution center in Rafah without air support.”

Via Madinat Khanyuns
“The people who went to Morag today do not accept the aid distribution mechanism, nor are they ignorant of its dangers, nor are they reconciled to its humiliating details. But people do not have the luxury of refusal, nor do they have options. This is what we are trying to explain here, and this, too, must be clear.”

Americans are starting to wake up…But…story tellers scrambling to adjust
I have many “blue no matter who” friends– self described progressives who hid behind AOC and Bernie during Biden/Harris’s support for the genocide. At the same time they gradually took down their “slava Ukraine” signs and flags.
Now a new narrative has emerged.Regarding Israel they are following Piers Morgan’s lead: now condemning Netenyahu–not the Israeli apartheid structure or the ongoing operation. If you are a Democrat your new position is “get rid of Netenyahu and then the right wingers will disappear and peace will return.”
On Ukraine it’s all Putin hate. Along with Trump hate. All narratives are designed to give democrat fanboys and fangirls a big shot of dopamine and a sense of moral superiority.
My weekend conversations with them started with the link below and continued from there.
Bottom line, my friends are squirming. They are struggling to keep alive the fairy tale in their head which aligns them with the good guys. Our weekend gatherings were lively but not always comfortable.
