  1. Israel needs to be heavily sanctioned for all the atrocities their imperialism is causing.

  5. I really hope the Israeli people amp up their voices against the tyranny being done.

  7. It needs to stop. People are starving in Gaza and being killed waiting in line for food.

  8. Israel now has military control over half of the Gaza Strip. Much of Hama’s infrastructure and fighting forces have been destroyed. Israel can force Gazans to live in areas under its control and distribute humanitarian aid there. Thus, the “Hamas is the obstacle to aid delivery and distribution” argument falls flat.

  9. Considering his foreign minister is one of the signatories in that statement calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire that likely led to the scuttling of ceasefire talks today due to Hamas no longer taking them seriously, ultimately contributing to the famine, forgive me if it’s hard to take his statement without disdain.

  10. Finally, some world leaders start to do the most basic things.

  11. In foreign affairs, the phrase “international law” is often used without specifying what specific laws they refer to, which can make the statement vague and meaningless. So far I wasn’t able to find the full statement to ascertain whether he made such specific references, and none of the news sources contain links to that statement 

  12. Yes. Let put more pressure on Israel. After all, they only fighting terrorists that started a war with no chance of winning, and with their only strategy is to have other countries stop Israel from winning.

  14. And how much has his country given to gaza compared to Israel?

    Also how much has his country given to adversaries in an active war?

  15. 950 tracks worth of food wait in Gaza but UN doesn’t distribute it

    UN demands for Israel to allow hamas police security, which is against it earlier statements that no warring parties security is allowed

    Question:  Okay, my question is not about the escalators.  I do want a clarification though, because you just said that the UN would not accept any, if I understood you correctly, security support in Gaza from any of the warring parties.  Is that correct?

    Spokesman:  That is correct.

    Question:  Okay, but hasn’t the UN said through some channels, I’m not sure which, but that as the occupying Power in quotes in Gaza, Israel has a responsibility to provide security.  If that’s true, then how do you reconcile those two?

    Spokesman:  It has a responsibility to ensure that we are safe and that humanitarian aid is safe.  I mean, I think it’s pretty obvious that we would be an even greater target if we were surrounded by armed soldiers from one of the two parties during this conflict. The best protection is for this conflict to stop.

    Question:  No, I understand that.  But there still seems to be a contradiction here, because on the one hand you’re saying Israel is responsible for security of humanitarian delivery in Gaza, and the other hand, the UN will not accept IDF provided security to these convoys.  So I’m not sure how you reconcile that.

    Spokesman:  I think we reconcile it by trying to find a way to keep our people and the community as safe as possible.  Okay, on that note, *adieu, hasta mañana.*

    PS. The irony of both demanding IDF to provide security and not allowing it to be provided

    PPS. in article, according to UN, it at same time delivers aid, doesn’t deliver aid and doesn’t know if there is any aid to deliver [https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-blames-un-for-gaza-aid-shortage-says-hamas-exploiting-famine-claims-at-talks/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-blames-un-for-gaza-aid-shortage-says-hamas-exploiting-famine-claims-at-talks/) . and it demands IDF to make deliveries secure (but not to be close to convoys) while requesting (in previous article) hamas police to provide security

  16. Which international ‘law’ and who elected those people who enacted the ‘law’?

  17. International law is nothing but pointless hot air without any enforcement power. Heck, Putin is a war criminal by “international law” too. So what?

    A toddler crying on the floor of a target demanding a toy has more power than any “international law”.

  18. Yes, up until this point Israel has done absolutely nothing to contravene international law and has definitely not comitted any war crimes… This is the *one* thing

    Edit: people downvoting me either don’t understand sarcasm or genuinely believe that Israel hasn’t done anything wrong.

  19. Looks like the Israeli internet army is brigading this post hard

  20. There’s almost a 1000 tons of aid waiting for the UN to distribute around gaza, but the UN refuses

  22. but Palestinians asking to kill all Jews and even teaching it to their kids for the last decades is ok?
