since October 7, Israeli settler attacks have increased exponentially in the occupied West Bank. That day, the Gaza-based Hamas armed resistance group launched a surprise operation just outside the besieged Gaza Strip on Israeli territory.

Israel responded immediately with a relentless shelling campaign and later a ground invasion, killing close to 16,000 Palestinians, including more than 6,000 children.

If Israel had not oppressed the Palestinians, confiscated their property, and left them without rights, the Palestinians would not have resorted to resisting the occupation through fighting. So Hamas and others appeared. But due to strong Zionist and Western propaganda, it was able to portray Palestinian fighters as terrorists.
The Geneva Convention of August 12, 1949 emphasizes the need to protect civilians in time of war
UN Resolution No. 3236, issued in 1974, gave the Palestinian people the right to use all means to achieve their freedom and independence, including armed struggle.

The Israeli government and security forces, as well as settlers, practice brutal violence against Palestinians.

The military spokesman for the Houthis in Yemen announced on Tuesday (December 26, 2023) that “the Yemeni naval forces carried out an operation against the commercial ship (MSC United) with naval missiles.”
He continued that the Houthi air force launched “a number of drones at military targets” in southern Israel, adding that his group confirms “what was stated in its previous statements” regarding preventing the passage of all Israeli ships or those heading to Israel in an effort to push it to stop its military operations in Gaza. He stressed the Houthis' complete keenness to continue maritime traffic to all destinations except Israel.

The Israeli Force intentionally targeted and murdered, Shireen Abu Akleh, the famed journalist last year.
I view the Israeli Force as cowards, as Storm Troopers. Their victims had honor, while they, themselves, have none.

At least 68 journalists have been murdered by the Israeli Force, in the last 2 1/2 months.

This is a good, solid hour long video that I just watched, on what is currently going on in Gaza, especially the intentional targeting of journalists, and the failure of US media to cover it.

History of the Question of Palestine
At the end of the First World War, Palestine was among the several former Ottoman Arab territories which were made mandated territories by the League of Nations. The relevant provisions of the League’s Covenant (Article 22) referred to these territories as “certain communities formerly belonging to the Turkish Empire [which] have reached a stage of development where their existence as independent nations can be provisionally recognized subject to the rendering of administrative assistance and advice by a Mandatory until such time as they are able to stand alone. The wishes of these communities must be a principal consideration in the selection of the Mandatory”.
All but one of these Mandated Territories (categorized as class “A” Mandates) whose independence was provisionally recognized became fully independent States, as anticipated. The exception was Palestine where, instead of being limited to “the rendering of administrative assistance and advice” the Mandate had as a primary aim the implementation of the “Balfour Declaration” issued by the British Government in 1917, conveying that Government’s support for “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”. This commitment was included in the mandate for Palestine, formally allotted in 1922 to Great Britain by the League of Nations, without having ascertained the wishes of the Palestinian people, as required by the Covenant.
During the 25 years of the Palestine Mandate, from 1922 to 1947, large-scale Jewish immigration from abroad, mainly from Eastern Europe took place, the numbers swelling in the 1930s with the notorious Nazi persecution of Jewry. Over this period the Jewish population of Palestine, composed principally of immigrants, increased from less than 10 per cent in 1917 to over 30 per cent in 1947. Palestinian demands for independence and resistance to Jewish immigration led to a rebellion in 1937, followed by continuing terrorism and violence from both sides during and immediately after the Second World War. Great Britain, as the Mandatory Power, tried to implement various formulas to bring independence to a land ravaged by violence. A partition scheme, a formula for provincial autonomy, a unified independent Palestine were all considered and abandoned, and in 1947, Great Britain in frustration turned the problem over to the United Nations.

The U.S. and a host of other nations are creating a new force to protect ships transiting the Red Sea that have come under attack by drones and ballistic missiles fired from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced in Bahrain.
The United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain will join the U.S. in the new mission, Austin announced. Some of the countries will conduct joint patrols while others provide intelligence support in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Observers believe that the lack of participation by countries overlooking the Red Sea indicates the failure of the American project. Because the main reason for preventing ships heading to Israel is the war on Gaza. America must pressure Israel to stop the war. But it does not do so because it is Israel's partner in this war through its military forces, supplying Israel with weapons, and not voting to stop the war.

Through the terms of the text titled “Peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine” (document A/74/L.15) — adopted by a recorded vote of 147 in favour to 7 against (Australia, Canada, Israel, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, United States), with 13 abstentions — the Assembly called on Member States to ensure that agreements with Israel do not imply recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the territories it occupied in 1967. The Assembly reiterates its call for the achievement of a just, lasting peace in the Middle East and an end to the Israeli occupation, while calling on Israel, the occupying Power, to comply strictly with international law, cease actions aimed at altering the demographic composition of the Territory, and immediately halt all settlement activities.

Now
As the Israel-Hamas war rages, the “two state solution” has been making headlines across the world. US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abas have all expressed support for the idea, which would see Palestinians and Israelis each have a sovereign state of their own.

CNN report
In the 15-minute-long CNN segment “Rare Trip to Gaza” that aired on 14 December 2023, CNN reporter Clarissa Ward got into Gaza for the first time since 7 October and visited a UAE field hospital. The cameras rolling on the way to the hospital showed just rubble and pancaked buildings everywhere. Children were brought into the field hospital with severe injuries that required amputation. During Ward's stay at the field hospital, injured patients continued to be wheeled in ‘cos Gaza hospitals no longer have the supplies to treat them. “The UN estimates that some two-thirds of those killed in this round of the conflict have been women and children,” Ward spoke in a voiceover, as she approached the bed of 8-year-old Jinan, whose femur had been crushed by an Israeli bombing. In the latter portion of the segment, Ward spoke to two reporters sitting in the CNN studios:

The Bible Verses Were Changed
Over 30,000 changes were made, of which more than 5,000 represent differences between the Greek text used for the Revised Version and that used as the basis of the King James Version. Most of the other changes were made in the interest of consistency or modernization.

Following the outbreak of war in Gaza, Israel tightened its siege on the Strip, cutting off supplies of water, electricity, fuel, and food. It prevented the entry of aid through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. Israel refused to allow fuel to enter the Gaza Strip, while only small amounts of aid were allowed to enter, which did not meet the needs of the population, according to UN organizations.
Israel has faced sharp criticism over its handling of a growing humanitarian crisis due to the war, which has entered its third month.
The United Nations International Humanitarian Relief Foundation is racing against time to rescue civilians in the Gaza Strip and provide them with humanitarian needs, in light of the Israeli siege of the Strip, the entry of little humanitarian aid, the continued bombing, and the displacement of more than a million citizens inside Gaza.
The population of the Gaza Strip suffers from a severe shortage of basic needs and drinking water, in addition to medical supplies, and international organizations have appealed to the world to intervene to open urgent humanitarian relief corridors to deliver aid to the population in the Gaza Strip.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for the entry of fuel into the Gaza Strip and a humanitarian ceasefire.
Guterres launched a humanitarian appeal to raise $1.2 billion to help Gaza, warning that the Strip was turning into a “cemetery for children.”
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Operations (OCHA) estimated the humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank at approximately $1.2 billion until the end of 2023.
The Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem accused the Hebrew state of deliberately creating the crisis to put pressure on Hamas. B'Tselem's statement stated that "closing the crossings and allowing a small amount of aid that cannot meet the needs of civilians amounts to deliberate starvation of the population" prohibited by international law. He added that the current crisis “is not a side effect of the war, but rather the intended direct result of the policy implemented by Israel,” which aims to “put pressure on Hamas.”
Yemeni forces blocked Israeli ships and demanded an end to the war in Gaza.
As a result of these pressures, Israel allowed aid convoys to enter, but humanitarian organizations and the United Nations confirm that it is much less than what is needed by about 2.4 million people in Gaza.
Agence France-Presse said: Israel “temporarily” allowed humanitarian aid to enter Gaza through the Kerem Shalom border crossing between its territory and the Gaza Strip, while continuing its intense air strikes. The opening of the Abu Salem crossing aims to relieve congestion at the Rafah crossing on the border with Egypt, which is currently the only entry point for trucks loaded with food and medicine into the besieged Gaza Strip, at a much lower rate than before the start of the war.

The UN have enough credibility so must be believed. So it is true that over 20,000 Palestinians have died since 2003. More than 18,600 people in Gaza have been killed in the war, most of them women and children and over 2million have been living in what the UN and Amnesty international have called 'The world's largest open-air prison. All that was as a result of Israeli actions against Palestinians. Hamas are a symptom of the problems, not a cause. Therefore Hamas has the right to fight Israeli government.

Battles in northern Gaza
The Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" revealed details of the battles in the northern Gaza Strip neighborhood.
The newspaper said that the soldiers were caught in a coordinated ambush when Hamas gunmen opened fire on an Israeli army force. Once fears increased that they might be kidnapped into nearby tunnels, another force arrived to extract the trapped soldiers but faced a similar ambush. The forces were from the Golani Brigade, one of the elite brigades in the Israeli army.
The soldiers immediately headed to the building from which the fire came, and clashes broke out, resulting in the injury of four soldiers and the loss of contact with the rest of the force. A third force, which attempted to locate the stranded soldiers, also faced violent clashes.
According to the Israeli army and Israeli media, Colonel Ishaq Ben Bassat (44 years old), head of the Golani Brigade’s command team, and Lieutenant Colonel Tomer Greenberg (35 years old), commander of the “13th Battalion” in the Golani Brigade, were killed in the battles. Two other officers with the rank of major were also killed: Major Roi Maldasi (23 years old), a company commander in the 13th Battalion within the Golani Brigade, in addition to Major Moshe Avram Bar-On (23 years old), a company commander in the 51st Battalion within the same brigade.
The Golani Brigade is an infantry unit of the most prominent elite forces, and it is the largest and most important in the Israeli army.

US President Joe Biden said that Benjamin Netanyahu has "a difficult decision to make under his hard-line government. This is the most hard-line government in the history of Israel," adding that the Israeli government "does not want a two-state solution." Pointing out that support for the Israeli military campaign is waning amid the heavy bombing of Gaza.

During a tour on the border with Lebanon, the Israeli Minister warned Hezbollah and Lebanon, saying:
“Beirut residents may end up in the same situation as Gaza residents.” He added, "Our large air force is directed towards the north, and we used only 10% in Gaza."
An Israeli raid targeted a pickup truck in an orchard southern Lebanon, about 45 kilometers north of the border. It was the first strike deep into Lebanese territory since the start of the fighting in Gaza.
It is noteworthy that the exchange of bombing and gunfire between the Israeli army and Hezbollah was limited to the border area between Lebanon and Israel, since the beginning of the war in Gaza. However, this is the first time that Israel has carried out a strike against a target so far from the border.
Maronite Patriarch Mar Bechara Boutros visited southern Lebanon to express the presence of the church alongside its children. The Patriarch met with clerics from various sects to confirm their demands calling for the preservation and security of Lebanon.
Their Eminences the Maronite Bishops held their monthly meeting, headed by Patriarch Mar Bishara, and with the participation of the General Superiors of the Maronite Orders. They discussed church and national affairs. At the conclusion of the meeting, they issued a statement that stated the following:
1- The parents express their deep sadness over the war taking place in Gaza, with its terrible tragedies and horrific scourges.
2- The fathers consider that the Lebanese state must be fully characterized by its constitutional institutions, and must have an effective tool to defend the country and its people. He must also be given all necessary means, including weapons, equipment, and others, so that he can carry out his duty in preserving the state and society by spreading security, peace, and reassurance to all the Lebanese people.
3 - As we approach the glorious holidays, the parents hope that the situation in the south will stabilize and peace will return to its villages on the border strip, so that every home can experience the joy of the holiday and enjoy the joy of its lights, and so that our children spread around the world can come to Lebanon and meet their families. Lebanon is counting on their arrival as the basis and support for creating an atmosphere of economic and social stability.

An Israeli special force tried to free the captured Israeli soldier Sa'ar Baruch, in Gaza.
Hamas broadcast a video of an attempt to free him. At the beginning of the video, Baruch appears talking about his age, his family history, and his place of residence. He said that he is from the Yeri settlement (in the vicinity of the Gaza Strip) and that he wants to return to his home.
After that, Hamas said in writing in the video, “The Zionist force infiltrated the prisoner’s place of detention at dawn through an ambulance and took cover behind humanitarian organizations, in flagrant violation of international law. The force was discovered and dealt with fire. The clash led to the death of the captured soldier, Sa’ar Baruch (25 years old), and the seizure of the force's communication device, weapons and equipment. In the last video clip, the captured soldier Baruch appeared dead, covered in blood.
Simultaneously with the publication of the video, the Israeli army announced that two soldiers were seriously injured during a “failed” operation to release prisoners held by Hamas in Gaza. He added, “No kidnappers were freed in this operation.”
A Hamas spokesman announced that Hamas fighters "thwarted an attempt to free captured soldier Sa'ar Baruch, which led to his death in addition to the killing and wounding of a number of other Israeli prisoners due to the barbaric bombing of the Gaza areas."
Hamas insists on not releasing Israeli prisoners unless Tel Aviv agrees to release Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.
