Zion and the Art of Armageddon

Yehuda Fuks, the outgoing chief of Israel’s Central Command, rebuked moves by Israel’s far-right government to seize more Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank amid a rise in settler violence. Attacks against Palestinians and their property by illegal Jewish settlers have increased in scale and intensity since October 7.

Since he made the remarks in leaving the position it can be assumed Netanyahu is ridding himself of internal dissension and touting for the Far Right members of the war cabinet in his war on Hamas. Nodding donkeys led by an Ass.
 
Since it was first manoeuvred into position on 17 May, the pier has been operational for fewer than 20 days, and for most of those days, aid deliveries were simply unloaded on the beach without being distributed around Gaza because of security concerns. Over its two months in operation, about 8,800 metric tons of aid has been unloaded off the pier, about 500 truckloads, equivalent to a single day of deliveries before the war began.

Land deliveries have dwindled dramatically since Israel launched an offensive on the southern border city of Rafah in May. According to UN figures, the number of trucks entering Gaza through two remaining open crossings, Keren Shalom and Erez West, fell from 840 in May, to 756 in June to only 18 so far in July.

All that effort and faffin' around to spaff $230 million into the Med. Bravo.

Hamas were never going to make aid distribution easy were they.

Hamas aren't the ones calling air strikes on aid workers or tank fire on convoys. Starvation of Gaza is a policy, not an accident.
 
Hamas could surrender and end all this tomorrow, aid would flood in and reconstruction could begin.

But that's not what Hamas, or Iran want.
 
It isn't what Netanyahu wants either. He'd be out of office and in a court room.
 
Reconstruction is going to take decades and Israel has never let aid flood in before.

But Israel has a plan to speed things up, seizing a significant fraction of Gaza as a DMZ, plus potentially taking even more for new settlements.

He wouldn't have a choice but to accept a surrender.

Then surely the sooner it begins the better.


Do you boys not think Hamas throwing in the towel would be a good thing for the Palestinians?

I don't know, I don't think anyone in Gaza trusts Israel enough to test it, after all what is going to make Israel stop annexing Palestinian land and ethnically cleansing Gaza if they have no way to resist?

No it wouldn't as Benjamin et al resists any attempt at a complete and lasting ceasefire. His objectives haven't changed at all. He also points this out rather clearly.

Latest Israeli order - all Gazans to get out of Gaza city. Yet again. Same is going on elsewhere.

Odds and the jetty. The thing drifted away and had to be moved elsewhere. No good as central supply route any more.

I'm not talking about a ceasefire, I'm talking about the unconditional surrender of Hamas, they cease hostilities and surrender power. It would be all over and Gaza can move forward, the killing can stop.

Why are 'pro Palestinians' so against this scenario, is it because it doesn't involve the destruction of Israel?
