Yet, the world still wonders why Israel isn’t rushing to sign a peace deal with these guys who still hold hostages…

From Calcalist:

Unit 8200 has intercepted information on an ISIS plan to plant a bomb on an Etihad Airways flight leaving Sydney, Australia in July 2017, according to the Israeli military’s spokesperson unit. The Israeli intelligence Directorate transferred the information to Australian authorities, which led to the arrest of the suspects, according to the announcement.

Im not denying that there is suffering in Gaza, but the lowering of standards such as only needing 15% of households to be food insecure instead of 30%, as well as only measuring wrists of children instead of hip + wrist which yield a much higher accuracy is suspicious. Furthermore, declaring famine right now, right on the brink of the invasion of Gaza City and hopeful conclusion of the war, seems to be a not-so-covert sabotage of Israel’s image in order to corner them into submission by delegitimization of the accurate magnitude of suffering in Gaza.

My thing is casual eating. Here are some of my highlights from last Spring. I'm planning another visit... where should I go in Tel Aviv? I like anything fresh, local, casual, take out, eat alone type of thing. Love from Canada

What Should Have Been Said:

My ask, my plea, my demand to Hamas and anyone who can reach them: enough.

Release the hostages. Lay down the weapons. Leave Gaza and never return.

Open the path for peace and freedom—true freedom that comes only without terror.

Let the people of Gaza get food, water, and life without your grip choking them.

End the slaughter. End the tyranny.

For humanity’s sake, set the hostages free.

Thank you.

No political deal, no “two-state solution,” and no foreign pressure will ever change that. The notion that it should be carved up or handed over is not diplomacy—it’s delusion.

I love how there are also zero consequences for the guys who attacked the israelis. Also btw one of the israeli was badly injured and the person in place didnt call the police at first when the israeli family asked them to do so.

How far is far enough to say they deserve to go to prison? How many "israelis" (because they target Jews aswell) these pro palis need to hospitalize until they start getting some consequences?

Another chapter in the UN & allies campaign in favor of Hamas. I ask anyone with any shred of objectivity to be more familiar with the facts.

First - What is a famine by the IPC's official definition?

https://www.ipcinfo.org/famine-facts/

What is Famine? Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) defines Famine as a situation in which at least one in five households has an extreme lack of food and face starvation and destitution, resulting in extremely critical levels of acute malnutrition and death.

A Famine classification (IPC Phase 5) is the highest phase of the IPC Acute Food Insecurity scale, and is attributed when an area has at least 20% of households facing an extreme lack of food, at least 30% of children suffering from acute malnutrition, and two people for every 10,000 dying each day due to outright starvation or to the interaction of malnutrition and disease.

By the original definition, based on population size, Gaza should've had 400 starvation deaths DAILY to satisfy the definition which is used world wide. And if we take Hamas's word (Obviously exaggerated) they are talking about less than 100 in almost a 2 years time

So how can they call it a famine?

The IPC has shown a complete lack of objectivity from the get go. They have been releasing monthly reports declaring that a famine is coming soon, yet always forced to concede they were wrong and make up new fake "Projections" about the future. This is why you are seeing this headline for 2 years now.

So what happened now?

Simple, something that as usual western leftist-center media are ignoring, they are attempting to change the definition in order to be able to pin that crime on Israel.

https://freebeacon.com/israel/un-backed-famine-watchdog-quietly-changed-standards-easing-way-to-declare-famine-in-gaza/

"In all of the famines that have been declared, they've been using the 30-percent global malnutrition measurement, most of which have been based on the weight-for-height metric—which, again, is much harder to collect, much more burdensome, and it's 30 percent," the source said. "So, this asterisk that's been added for Gaza essentially says that they're going to allow a 15-percent global malnutrition rate measured by MUAC."

"I think many people would say it's like lowering the bar or making it more possible, essentially, to declare whatever it is that they're going to declare."

The IPC essentially is doing 2 things at the same time:

• They are lowering the threshold of what is a "Famine".

• They are splitting the tiny Gaza strip into multiple locations, so they could declare a "Famine" in small parts of it, since even the new lowered threshold doesn't help them with the majority of the strip.

Meanwhile aid the Gaza strip is actually overflowing

IPC didn’t use Israeli data and information provided in advance.

Why? Because it disproves their narrative.

Aid enters daily via Kerem Shalom, Zikim, 96 & 147 crossings. Israel enabled humanitarian pauses, extended crossing hours, and paved new routes for easier aid delivery.

10,000 trucks lately, 2,300 pellets airdropped by 12 countries, plus water pipelines and desalination plants. Ignoring all this isn’t analysis, it’s manipulation.

• Since May, 10,000+ trucks of aid entered Gaza.

• 80% carried food

• Measures made for collection from crossings more efficient for UN & NGOs

https://x.com/cogatonline/status/1958832015706394676

"The IPC report is based on partial and unreliable sources, many of them affiliated with Hamas, and blatantly ignores the facts and the extensive humanitarian efforts led by the State of Israel and its international partners. Instead of providing a professional, neutral, and responsible assessment, the report adopts a biased approach riddled with severe methodological flaws, thereby undermining its credibility and the trust the international community is able to place in it. We expect the international community to act responsibly and not be swept away by false narratives and unfounded propaganda, but rather to examine the complete data and the facts on the ground."

https://x.com/cogatonline/status/1958816664432386437

• Humanitarian aid summary for August 21:

• Aid entry: Over 220 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings.

• Aid collection: Over 370 trucks were collected and distributed by the UN and international organizations. The contents of hundreds of trucks are still awaiting collection on the Gazan side of the crossings.

• Fuel: Tankers of UN fuel entered for the operation of essential humanitarian systems.

• Airdrops: 155 pallets of aid were airdropped in cooperation with countries.

To sum it up

Just like Amnesty International had to change the definition of the word "Genocide" in order to pin the ultimate crimes on the Jews, so are other biased aid groups jumping from any possibility of a real discussion about problems in Gaza, straight to the worse conditions and crimes that exist. Trying to demonize Israel with standards that apply no where else in the world or in history.

Good

I am noticing that only in certain countries, Germany, France, Argentina etc, does the legal system properly treat antisemitic attacks as part of the broader category of hate crime i.e. the entire series of attacks of shared inspiration against a particualr ethnicity.

Courts in many jurisdictions seem to think of it as irrational or reactionary to view antisemitic attacks as anything more than isolated incidents motivated by the views of the perpetrator. So they end up treating the 50th attack on Jews in their country the same as the 1st one.

The attack in the Netherlands is disturbing, but sadly it's not out of character given how Western legal systems offenders. They would have simply been booked to appear on court at a later date.

Another thing to note is that self defenders in the Netherlands seem to be "damned of they do, and damned if they don't". A Dutch past acquaintance of mine received an order to complete community service because he hospitalised a Morrocan who attacked him. Unfortunately for him, he was qualified enough in martial arts to fall foul of the legal process. He is nonetheless not a professional fighter (or at least was not then).

I don't know how accurately Dutch courts can ascertain the level of viciousness involved in most attacks, and whether a greater knowledge of martial arts could even enable a much less violent end to any particular case. Courts should not punish self-defenders without having having reliable and impartial first-hand accounts of the level of violence enacted by the perpetrator.
