Truth in Ghaza???

Three Israeli hostages somehow got freed. Did they escape? Were they released by Hamas? We don't know. What we do know is that they came out shirtless, so obviously unarmed, and shouted in Hebrew, 'We are Israeli hostages!' and the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) shot and killed them all.

Israel say they are interested in saving all hostages, that they so love life (and, by 'life' they mean Israeli life) that they will do anything to save Israeli hostages. But Israeli actions show they only want a Ghaza that is Philistine Free, they are saturation bombing, all possible dwellings destroyed, no food, water, fuel, or medical supplies allowed into Ghaza, so the Philistines in Ghaza are starving, drinking polluted water, being bombed and shelled by IOF tanks, more than 21,000 killed so far, death from communicable diseases is increasing rapidly.

Israel (and those who favour Israel) say the counts of Philistine deaths come from Hamas, and so one must not believe the Philistine lies that 21,000, mostly women and children have been killed: the strikes have been surgical, hitting Hamas positions with many Hamas fighters shooting rockets at Israeli cities, but these Hamas terrorists keep some women and children captive with them as human shields, and, to stop the terrorists' rocket fire from killing many innocent civilians, the Hamas military units must be taken out, along with their human shields, so every woman and child killed by the IOF was forced by Hamas.

This war has been difficult for the IOF, they have lost 155 members.

Is any of the above true?

Israel seems to be on the Hannibal Principle: Israelis should die, by their own hand if necessary, to prevent their becoming hostages, since hostages cost Israel far too much. So the three IOF members who were taken hostage were killed for allowing themselves to be taken hostage.

The pause was because the war was not going well for Israel, so Israel asked for and got a ceasefire, demanded hostages, and Hamas released 100 hostages.

During the week long ceasefire, the IOF revised strategy and tactics to reduce IOF losses, and, when ready, ended the ceasefire.

Alastair Crooke estimates that more than 1,000 members of the IOF have been killed, hence the first demand for a ceasefire from Hamas, and now a second demand that Hamas has refused since Israel will not meet their conditions. Again, IOF losses are excessive, far more than the 155 to which Israel admit, so Israel want another week's ceasefire to regroup, study, and revise strategy and tactics, and Hamas are not willing to give them that week.

Israel have done huge damage to the Philistine civilians, not so much to Hamas who continue to blow up IOF tanks and kill IOF servicepersons.

Fox and many other news outlets repeat that Hamas are terrorists who must be neutralised, and all civilian deaths are entirely the fault of Hamas, and we must not believe Hamas counts of civilian deaths in Ghaza.

CNN, after 7 weeks of repeating the official Israeli story, not being allowed into Ghaza, were finally allowed in and reported on the many injured children and the fact that every building they saw had been destroyed so the Ghazans have nowhere to live, they are crowded into shelters which make it easy for the IOF to find and bomb them, and they have nothing to eat or drink. CNN were only allowed to see one field hospital set up by the UAE, the only hospital in all Ghaza not being bombed. And the reporter looked shocked at what she saw.

Israel make it clear that they will not allow a single Philistine to remain in Ghaza: if other nations will take the women, children, and elderly men, Israel will let them go/deport them. If not, Israel have no choice but to kill every Philistine, but don't blame Israel, blame the other nations who refuse to take the women and children in Ghaza.

And after Ghaza is cleansed, the West Bank will become a priority.

Meanwhile, the Yemen managed to disrupt shipping through the Red Sea for a week, but now the US say the US Navy will protect ships, and shipping has resumed.

The question of how much the Yemen and Iran can disrupt supplies going to Israel remains open for now.
