Zion and the Art of Armageddon

Interesting press conference by Benjamin and Sholtz. Sholtz was extremely diplomatic then comes his view. Benjamin = well they want to wipe out Israel which is fundamentally incorrect. They just want their state. Big problem - all so messed up it's hard to see how there can be a perfect solution. Maybe the end result will a sort of repeat of 1967.

Or American boots on the ground in Iran. A few Arab countries would (secretly) welcome that.

13 aid trucks made there way north without any incidents. Crowd shown waiting for distribution. This is a first so may be trying another load today. So something has changed.

Much bigger crowd in Israel calling for Benjamin to resign. He's already said he wont.

Five hundred trucks a day are usually required to feed, fuel and water the Gaza Strip.
Zionists appease their fascist followers with propaganda to say they're doing something.

You truly believe that Iran is the only arab country that supports the various groups of militants that are around in the general arab area?

Allowing is a better word. It could be seen as early preparation for handling Rafar. Aid is going to be needed for rather a long time even if and when the war ends.
I'd like to know if the US would like to see an attack on Rafar.

No, that's why I said 'a few arab countries'.

Do you really think all Arab countries are united and love each other?, do you really think the Sunnis give the Shias a hard on?
 
The EU’s chief diplomat Josep Borrell condemned Benjamin Netanyahu this morning for creating what he said was a “manmade famine” in Gaza, and urged Israel to allow road deliveries of food immediately.

The EU, which funds much of the aid to Gaza, said the land border used to handle 500 tonnes of aid a day before the war. At present it was functioning at a level of 100 tonnes a day.

Chancellor Sholz told Benjamin Netanyahu ‘we cannot stand by and watch Palestinians starve’. This famine is not a natural disaster. It is not a flaw. It is not an earthquake. It is entirely manmade.

Borrell added: “Before the war, Gaza was the greatest open air prison. Today it is the greatest open air graveyard”.
 
19 trucks on their way now but how far north? Don't know. UN distribution point in Gaza city mentioned but I assume some go further,

Egypt gets US aid so follows US foreign policy. EU has decided to provide $8b. Purpose unknown but may relate to boarders and growing unrest in the general area.

Israel's leaders have called for starvation to be used as a weapon of war in the Knesset and media.

And for extermination of Palestinians including children and babies

This is a racist nation engaged in genocide.
 
The Dedicated followers of Fascists cheer them on...

There is a number of views on aid trucks per day. A couple

Roads are by far the most important delivery route: More than 15,000 trucks of aid have entered the territory since Oct. 7 at two entry points in the enclave's south. Most have entered through Rafah, on Gaza's border with Egypt. The other point is at Kerem Shalom,
Washington Post
22 Feb 2024 — On average, only 62 trucks have entered Gaza each day over the past two weeks, according to figures from the United Nations Office for the ...

Gaza has received 13,834 trucks of humanitarian aid since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, according to a Friday update by Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinians, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.
According to COGAT, 254,210 tons of supplies have been transferred to the Gaza Strip, including 167,080 tons of food.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the support of his right-wing coalition, initially announced that Israel would not allow any aid into Gaza, but quickly reversed course amid pressure from the US. He has since said that providing minimal humanitarian aid makes it easier for the IDF to fulfill the war’s objectives of dismantling Hamas and bringing the hostages home.

An essential shipment of flour that could feed 1.5 million Gazans for five months has also been held up in Israel for a month by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who refused to let it into Gaza if UNRWA would be responsible for its distribution.

Is Israel meeting promise to let more aid into Gaza?

Israel says it is building a new crossing into northern Gaza after promising to open the Erez crossing.
www.bbc.co.uk

A truck = 20tonne but aid includes items other than food. The flour is in an Israeli port

Use the same port for aid? Why would a military pontoon be needed?

Bizarre. A Palestinian West Bank lady released in the last ceasefire agreement has been visited and arrested again. Seems there has been 7,500+ arrests since the 7th. No idea how many the west bank jail can hold.

Al Shifa hospital complex raided again. No complete reports really. 80 detained, including medics and an AlJ Arabic reporter beaten and also detained. He was there to report on the raid. His crews satellite gear destroyed, Video of a bulldozer doing ??? something.

163 days. An average of less than 100 a day. 20-25% of what is needed to supply Gaza.

Starvation rations.

There's apparently over a thousand trucks waiting at the border to be allowed through. But Israel is slow walking the inspections.
