200 maybe 201 maybe 210 maybe 180. Still high.
Could have been zero if Hamas and it's enablers released the hostages prior to yesterday

Could even consider if the Israeli govt treated everyone equally.
Could even go back to before the Balfour Declaration.
You could go back as far you want and still not find a country to have ever existed called Palestine.

You are going to find numerous caliphates, empires and kingdoms.

Is that what you base your stance on Israeli govt treatment of the Palestinian people in Gaza and West Bank on?


No, I base it on the illogical adherence to a reality that never existed. A reality that will not exist. Lamenting the past serves as nothing more than a reminder and a hindrance to the future.

I can agree with that.
What about the Israeli govt treating everyone equally?
It's not sustainable nor is it right.
But at least the Israelis have a means to change. Bibi's not there as a dictator. He can easily (relatively) be voted out and a pro peace two state party voted in.

What changes in Gaza or can change? Who are the pro two state politicians or voices?

^ Israelis have a means to change only because they have been enabled for the past 75 years.
If the Palestinian people were not oppressed they could have been living there as citizens with no issues - there'd be no need for a Hamas or a PA.
it's 75 years of oppression, occupation and war with many Israelis wanting the Palestinians just wiped out - Palestinians have been brought to the point where there is no obvious and immediate governmental solution that does not feel hatred for their occupiers. Even more so now as many young people and children have witnessed the obliteration in this most recent conflict. And the masses of far-right, radically conservative, ultra-nationalist in Isreal won't lose their hatred soon either.

What are you rambiling on about my man??
Gaza has been Israel free since the unilateral disengagement in 2005. Hamas won the election held after that and never held one again.

Everything happening in there is a wholly a choice made by the Palestinian leadership. You really really hate giving agency to Hamas and Gazans

You are ignoring the blockades on Gaza and the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza, Israel and the occupied West Bank by the Israeli Govt.

Do you think the Israeli actions are justified but Gazans are not allowed to retaliate?

1.
Al-Jazeera's Jerusalem bureau chief denies Israel's claim that journalist Abdullah Al-Jamal worked for the outlet:
- "not from Al-Jazeera"
- "he did not work for Al-Jazeera at all"
- "not listed as working for Al-Jazeera neither now nor in the past"
- "We do not know him"

2.
Abdullah Al-Jamal has published at least one article for Al-Jazeera.
Al-Jazeera currently has a contributor's bio page for Abdullah Al-Jamal.

Point 1 cannot be true if point 2 is true. Point 2 has been shown to be true.

Al-Jazeera's Jerusalem bureau chief neglected to verify factual information from his own newspaper and instead made a false statement. Therefore, senior management of Al-Jazeera's Jerusalem bureau has here provided at least one glaring instance of inaccuracy and a lack of integrity in their publication.

Sooo the hostage extraction for 4 hostages murdered over 200 civilians .
As well as 3 other hostages .

That is not successful . Do nothing and u had 7 alive and well(as it looks from the pics)Israelis .

Thats after 8 months of carnage and killings.
But just on the heels of the Americans pressing cease fire cause there was not any significant hostage extraction.

And gants pull out from the coalition because of lack of success makes the hostages operation seem convenient .

Is like they did it to prove to America and the other complainants that they can extract hostages .



And If that is so, it means they could have been doing that for 8 months ,but chose not to do it to have excuse to wage the bombing campaigns .

U keep regurgitating the same nonsense justifications over and over .

The world recognizes that gaza was caged , the most surveiled real estate in the world.

Just because they were not physically INSIDE gaza does not mean they still didn't occupy them by controlling rhe borders arround .




Or u forgot the three children that were shot on the beach in 2012 or so plsying foot ball or sumting, by the Israeli gun boat ....
While there was a group of reporters was nearby filming them?



Or the 200 of them shot and killed in 2018 in the right of return peaceful protests inside the Gaza fencing .

Hamas chose to continue firing rockets at Israel immediately after disengagement, 1,000 in the first year in fact. They are blockaded because they are not peaceful, it's not that they are not peaceful because they are blockaded. The blockade started in 2007.

Also who else is blockading them?

I read the two articles that you cited - and in fact, much earlier than the publication of your post. I quoted your post knowing full well those article's content and scope.

The salient point is that Al-Jazeera's Jerusalem bureau chief neglected to verify factual information from his own newspaper but rather provided a glaring instance of the publication's readiness to publish misinformation.

How many civilians hamas killed compared to Israel ?

Seems hamas focuses action on combatants. While Isreal focuses on civilians...even their own

The majority of rockets seem to be after the blockade.
And before 2005 there was occupation and oppression.

Egypt has stated that Palestinians should live freely in their own land.

I’m not saying Hamas is not a militant violent group. I am saying that if Israel treated Palestinians equally there would never have been a Hamas ruling Gaza in the first place.

Hamas says it accepts UN-backed Gaza truce plan, US cites 'hopeful sign

TEL AVIV/CAIRO, June 11 (Reuters) - Hamas accepts a U.N. resolution backing a plan to end the war with Israel in Gaza and is ready to negotiate details, a senior official of the Palestinian militant group said on Tuesday in what the U.S. Secretary of State called a hopeful sign.

But Qatari and Egyptian mediators have not received formal replies from Hamas or Israel to the U.N.-backed truce proposal, an official close to the talks told Reuters, and both sides suggested on Tuesday the plan fit their clashing goals, raising doubt whether any genuine headway towards a deal had been made.

Discussions also touching on post-war plans for Gaza will continue over the next couple of days, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in Tel Aviv after talks with Israeli leaders.

Blinken met Israeli officials on Tuesday in a push to end the eight-month-old Israeli air and ground war against Hamas that has devastated Gaza, a day after President Joe Biden's proposal for a truce was approved by the U.N. Security Council.

Ahead of Blinken's trip, Israel and Hamas both repeated hardline positions that have scuttled previous rounds of truce mediation, while Israel has pressed on with assaults in central and southern Gaza, among the bloodiest of the war.

Biden's proposal envisages a ceasefire and phased release of hostages in exchange for Palestinians jailed in Israel, ultimately leading to a permanent end to the war.

This required a formula stipulating the total withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and a swap of hostages held in Gaza for Palestinians jailed in Israel, he told Reuters.

"The U.S. administration is facing a real test to carry out its commitments in compelling the occupation to immediately end the war in an implementation of the U.N. Security Council resolution," Abu Zuhri said.

Blinken said the Hamas statement was "a hopeful sign" but definitive word was still needed from the Hamas leadership inside Israeli-besieged Gaza. "That's what counts, and that's what we don't have yet."

On Tuesday, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri, who is based outside Gaza, said it accepted the ceasefire resolution and was ready to negotiate over the specifics.

I am not saying he is or isn't
I am asking if he is.
If he is an employee then Al-Jazeera's Jerusalem bureau chief is lying.
If he isn't then he is not from Al Jazeera.

You or I can write an op-ed in the T&T Guardian - does that make us "a T&T Guardian journalist" or that we work for the Guardian?

Both sides are pushing propaganda.
In another report it was stated that he lived on another floor of the apt building than where the hostages were rescued from.
IDF would be happy to pin something on Al Jazeera and vice versa

The majority of rockets seem to be after the blockade.
And before 2005 there was occupation and oppression.

Egypt has stated that Palestinians should live freely in their own land.

I’m not saying Hamas is not a militant violent group. I am saying that if Israel treated Palestinians equally there would never have been a Hamas ruling Gaza in the first place.


How dare the ppl that repeatedly turned down a state if it meant the Jews also got one and instead preferred war be treated with suspicion!!!!

Your statement on Egypt makes no sense because they also have Gaza blockaded. They also administered it b/t 1948-1967.

I read the two articles that you cited - and in fact, much earlier than the publication of your post. I quoted your post knowing full well those article's content and scope.

The salient point is that Al-Jazeera's Jerusalem bureau chief neglected to verify factual information from his own newspaper but rather provided a glaring instance of the publication's readiness to publish misinformation.

Please feel free to attempt to reconcile these two at your leisure.

An op-ed writer has to be an employee?

Please feel free to attempt to reconcile these two at your leisure:

1.
"An op-ed writer has to be an employee?"

2.
Al-Jazeera's Jerusalem bureau chief denies Israel's claim that journalist Abdullah Al-Jamal worked for the outlet:
- "not from Al-Jazeera"
- "he did not work for Al-Jazeera at all"
- "not listed as working for Al-Jazeera neither now nor in the past"
- "We do not know him"

- "not from Al-Jazeera" - is he an employee?
- "he did not work for Al-Jazeera at all" - is he an employee?
- "not listed as working for Al-Jazeera neither now nor in the past" - is he or was he an employee?
- "We do not know him - is he an employee?

I am not saying he is or isn't
I am asking if he is.
If he is an employee then Al-Jazeera's Jerusalem bureau chief is lying.
If he isn't then he is not from Al Jazeera.

You or I can write an op-ed in the T&T Guardian - does that make us "a T&T Guardian journalist" or that we work for the Guardian?

Both sides are pushing propaganda.
In another report it was stated that he lived on another floor of the apt building than where the hostages were rescued from.
IDF would be happy to pin something on Al Jazeera and vice versa


Al-Jazeera must have a bio page for lots of people that "[they] do not know." And apparently there is a Jerusalem bureau chief that is willing to make a very strong public statement regarding his newspaper's organizational ties without exerting the minimum effort necessary to verify his facts with his own newspaper.

Most website content management systems automatically make a profile page for guest authors, op-eds, co-authors etc.
Our own Wordpress CMS does that automatically, the formatting would be different based on the theme etc as we don't have profile photos or bios of our authors.
The main author can log in and enter a name and contact for the co-author. The co-author does not even need to log-in.
The CMS just creates a page and lists all their articles.
Ours too lists all the articles written by the contributing author and it is done either by them logging in or the main author adding their name at the time of publishing.
e.g. https://www.trinituner.com/v4/author/dumplin/
This author is not an employee of TriniTuner. He is a freelancer that also writes and does photography for the newspapers, Caribbean Beat etc. He is not an employee for them either and I doubt the Editor in Chief of Newsday or Caribbean Beat would say they know him or of him since it would probably be a section content manager that sourced the photos or article from the author.

I don't know what their protocol at Al Jazeera is but in the case of Abdallah Aljamal he appears to be listed as a co-author of only one op-ed written by Ramzy Baroud who lists Abdallah Aljamal as a co-author on a single article from 2019.
https://www.aljazeera.com/author/abdall ... 2103235277

If there were numerous recent articles main-authored by Abdallah Aljamal on Al Jazeera I'd say without a doubt that he can be referred to as "an Al Jazeera journalist". But as it is, I don't think he can put that as his job description.

As I said before, if however it shows he is on Al jazeera's Jerusalem payroll then their Jerusalem bureau chief is lying

... and Abdallah Aljamal is one seriously under-performing employee for not contributing anything for the past 5 years but still getting paid.

United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has explicitly affirmed the right of Palestinians to resist Israel’s military occupation, including through armed struggle. This right was affirmed in the context of the right to self-determination of all peoples under foreign and colonial rule.

Since October 7th, Idf retrieved a total of 6 hostages (4 recently and 2 previously)
And killed a total of 6 hostages (3 in the recent raid and the 3 who escaped and met a group of idf, but looked like regular Palestinians so the idf shot them on site)

I still Remeber the first time idf invaded the al shifa hospitals , they had to convince staff to leave cause staff was reluctant to give up custody of the 8 babies into the incubators. The idf promised the babies would be taken to Israel hospitals. They even rolled in incubators( but the problem was fuel for the generators , they were already in incubators).
And after the idf left, the people went and discovered the rotted desiccated bodies of the babies exactly where they were abandoned by the palestinian staff.

If taking babies is considered armed resistance guess what ....you going to have to learn to dodge 155mm artillery shells in your little enclave.

Gaza return the Bibas boys yet?

Article 51 of the UN Charter does speak to the right of self-defence, and it has outlined that an attack that would trigger self-defence must be committed by another member state and cannot have originated from a territory that is under belligerent occupation by the state that is claiming self-defence.

In other words, Palestinians and their territory are under illegal occupation, and therefore any attacks that emanate from Gaza—which is under Israel’s control as an occupier—does not allow for Israel to use force against Gaza as self-defence as outlined in Article 51 of the Charter.
