[size=inherit]For about three months, Adnan El-Bursh reported on the war in Gaza while living in a tent, eating one meal a day, and struggling to keep his wife and five children safe. The BBC Arabic correspondent shares the harrowing moments he faced covering a war that pushed him to his limits.[/size]

Why can't he get his family out of Gaza?

[St Chads Lad]

He's not 'British' is he?
  He lives there with his family. 

[celeste]

He's not 'British' is he?
  He lives there with his family. 

I did think of that,  he would have been one of the first to know that Israel would retaliate,  wouldn't it have been wiser to send them out of Gaza asap?

[St Chads Lad]

He ends his report by saying
  "I am writing this in Qatar. But I know that in Jabalia, they have been pulling up grass and grinding animal feed to eat, while I'm here having meals in a clean hotel. I find it hard to eat - it's like eating poison."
 
 So are his family with him I Qatar, nice and safe, eating that poison food in that nice hotel? Or are they eating grass in Gaza? He doesn't stipulate.


  If it's the latter all I can say is some father.

[celeste]

If he could have got to Qatar surely he'd have taken family,  he could be referring to the Palestinians in Gaza.

No October 7th no eating grass

Spot on, Parky!


We are obliged to offer the "civilians" 😆 of Gaza as much food aid as we gave to the Germans in 1945. No more and no less....,

[size=inherit]The US state department has found five units of the Israeli military responsible for gross violations of human rights in individual incidents, but says they will continue to receive US military backing.[/size]

All the incidents involved took place outside of Gaza before the current war.

Israel took corrective action in four units, giving "additional information" on the fifth, the department says.

This means all the units remain eligible for US military assistance.

Washington is Israel's major military backer, supplying it with $3.8bn (£3bn) worth of weapons and defence systems per year.

The announcement is the first determination of its kind for any Israeli unit by the US government.

State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said five security forces units committed gross violations of human rights.

"Four of these units have effectively remediated these violations, which is what we expect partners to do," he said.

"For a remaining unit, we continue to be in consultations and engagements with the government of Israel; they have submitted additional information as it pertains to that unit," he added.

The department denies claims it backed down under political pressure by continuing military assistance to the unit despite being unable to say whether or not there had been any accountability in the case.

"We are engaging with them in a process, and we will make an ultimate decision when it comes to that unit when that process is complete," said Mr Patel.

All the incidents are believed to have taken place in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem in recent years.

Right. Got that.


And these “incidents” entailed what sort of behaviour? They took place precisely when? They were carried out by whom?


You know, it is becoming increasingly easy to spot these (almost daily) false flag reports in the Establishment media. They generally consist of an attention grabbing headline embellished with diddly squat detail. And they rely rather heavily on Anonymous Sources, who appears to be an increasingly busy gentleman these days.

State Department claims ‘five Israeli units responsible for gross violations of human rights’ before October 7APR 30, 2024 9:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS2 COMMENTS






The statement from the State Department is reprehensible, as it implies that Israel provoked October 7. Let’s not forget that on the same day of the Hamas massacre, October 7, the Saudis, Qatar, and Iran all blamed the attack upon the so-called “occupation.” The State Department is scapegoating Israel again, which serves to empower Hamas, Iran and all jihadists.
Note that the State Department’s Vedant Patel “did not identify the units” he was accusing. The accusations against Israel of human rights abuses have been vague because they aren’t justified.
It is the modus operandi of jihadists everywhere to rape and murder, with no limits upon their intentional, calculated savagery against civilians. That isn’t the MO of Israel. Jihadists are infamously inhumane — from al-Qaeda and ISIS to Boko Haram, al-Shabaab and the Taliban. It’s historic and ongoing.


“When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!” (Qur’an 8:12)
And all married women [are forbidden to you] except those whom your right hands possess. (Qur’an 4:24)


The October 7 attack was not connected in any way, shape or form to anything Israel has done. To claim otherwise is to ignore the jihad imperative. Muslims kill Muslims in droves. Muslims kill Christians and other infidels in droves, and routinely murder Israelis. October 7 took years to plan. The Times of Israel reported “sources close to the leadership of Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades military wing” as stating this:The terrorists involved in the devastating attack were selected from among hundreds of elite commandos from all over Gaza, and underwent training for a number of years, along with continuous testing to gauge their skills.Neither Israel nor any Western “elite” forces would train their personnel to commit a barbaric attack such as what the world saw on October 7.

“US says five Israeli units committed abuse before Hamas attack,” WION, April 30, 2024:The United States announced that five Israeli military units had committed grave human rights violations against Palestinians in the West Bank before Hamas launched its assault in the month of October, said the State Department on Monday (Apr 29).
State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel said that four out of these five units had taken remedial measures, however, consultations were underway over the fifth unit with the Israeli government.
“After a careful process, we found five Israeli units responsible for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights,” Patel said.
Patel said that the violations took place before the Oct 7 Hamas assault and that it was not in the Gaza Strip.
He did not identify the units or specify the measures the Israeli government had taken against them….

Zelots on both sides and seem to have control of political powers.

    New York City police have arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters from the Columbia University campus in upper Manhattan

Amid shouts of 'shame on you', police led handcuffed protesters out and onto buses - nearly 24 hours after they took over an academic building

The scene has quietened now and students who were stuck outside during the standoff have begun to return to campus

Police say they have cleared protesters from the campus, including a nearly two-week old tent camp on the university's lawns

NYPD officers entered the occupied building, Hamilton Hall, earlier on Tuesday night through a second-storey window, using ladders

Columbia authorised the raid after demonstrators defied a deadline to disperse. After the hall was "occupied, vandalised and blockaded, we were left with no choice", it said

US universities have been gripped by protests as students demand a boycott of companies and individuals with ties to Israel during the war in Gaza

President Biden said demonstrations should be peaceful, but "forcibly taking over buildings is not peaceful - it is wrong"

Sme of the Commie trash that the police removed were moaning that the cops wouldn't let them go home.

Zelots on both sides and seem to have control of political powers.

It is not a question of “zealots on both sides”, although the controlled media would prefer us to believe in this illusion.


Hamas declared war on Israel in the most grotesque manner imaginable on October 7th last year, and Israel is fighting a defensive operation to neutralise the threat they present. It is entirely obvious that nobody in Israel, be they Jews or Arabs, are safe from mutilation and murder for as long as this organisation continues to exist.


There is going to be no ceasefire, no deal to be done that will bring about the release of any hostages even in the unlikely event that any of them remain alive at this point. The Satanic savages are all going to be removed from the face of the Earth, and the pigs who support them are not going to fare any better, in Gaza at least.
