re: Israel being attacked

They are trying to ensure that they can’t get resupplied.


Bombing the docks does that. Telling Egypt they will bomb any trucks coming over does that.

It means that any further supplying likely gets done through the tunnel system, which means that Israel tracking where the stuff is coming from means they can pinpoint the places to hit with bunker busters

More rockets just fired from Gaza. That location will be a parking lot shortly.

Hamas already told the people in the Israeli city to evacuate by 5pm. They're doing this to pressure Israel to do the same for them.

Israel already warned.

They've even done roof knocking to let residents flee before a building is leveled.

Way better than Hamas who attacked innocent Peace Festival goers.

U.N. Warns Israel: Retaliatory Siege of Gaza ‘Prohibited’ Under International Law


Israel’s act of self defense in laying siege to Hamas terrorists and their supporters in the Gaza Strip was declared a “prohibited” act Tuesday by the U.N. human rights chief.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, issued a call for peace and understanding in the region from his office in Geneva, Switzerland, before admonishing any prospective retaliatory move by Israel against its Islamic attackers. He cautioned:

The imposition of sieges that endanger the lives of civilians by depriving them of goods essential for their survival is prohibited under international humanitarian law

Any restrictions on the movement of people and goods to implement a siege must be justified by military necessity or may otherwise amount to collective punishment.

The BBC Refuses To Call Hamas Terrorists, But Is Now Under Political Pressure To Change Its Stance

The BBC has been told by the British government to review its opposition to calling Hamas a terrorist organization amid the Israel-Gaza crisis.

The BBC refers to Hamas as a “militant” group or variations of this phrase, pointing to its editorial guidelines which state that the word “terrorist” should not be used without attribution.

It is not clear how long this position will hold, however, given the BBC is now under political pressure to use more specific language after 1,000 people in Israel were killed during Hamas attacks.

During a pre-planned meeting, culture secretary Lucy Frazer asked Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, if the corporation should review its guidelines.

She disclosed the meeting in a letter to Marie van der Zyl, president of Board of Deputies of British Jews, which has said it is “obscene” that the BBC refuses to brand Hamas terrorists.

“I made extremely clear [to the BBC] my view that these were acts of terror carried out by a terrorist organisation,” Frazer told the Board of Deputies.

“I noted that, as you have, Hamas have been proscribed as a terrorist organisation since 2021 by the UK government, and are designated as such by many other international organisations and governments.”

On Monday, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: “This is not a time for equivocation, we should call it out for what it is.”

The BBC is under no obligation to act on the concerns of ministers because it is editorially independent of the government.

Frazer questioned whether the BBC was observing its news style guide, which states that “an action or event can be described as a terror attack or an act of terror.”

The BBC’s guidelines also state that the word “terrorist” can be a “barrier rather than an aid” to helping audiences understand news stories.

“We should convey to our audience the full consequences of the act by describing what happened. We should use words which specifically describe the perpetrator such as bomber, attacker, gunman, kidnapper, insurgent and militant,” the BBC says.

“We should not adopt other people’s language as our own. Our responsibility is to remain objective and report in ways that enable our audiences to make their own assessments about who is doing what to whom.”

Van der Zyl said the BBC’s position was “insulting to the many British Jews whose friends and families are currently under attack by genocidally antisemitic terrorists and performs a profound disservice to millions of viewers.”
