some good news
--------------------------------
Day 202, Hostages Update: Hamas terrorists release new propaganda video of hostage American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Hersh is seen in the video missing one of his hands. It was blown off from the elbow down when terrorists lobbed grenades into a shelter where he and others who tried to escape the Nova party were hiding. The video appears to be recent as it references 200 days in captivity. Israeli officials continue to emphasize that achieving the war’s objectives of destroying the threat from Hamas, removing Hamas from power, and freeing the hostages is impossible without taking Rafah. 
--------------------------------
President Biden and 17 other world leaders whose citizens are being held hostages by Hamas are calling for the hostages’ “immediate release” and urging Hamas to accept a deal that has been rejected by the group for months, in an extraordinary joint statement released on Thursday. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/israel-hamas-hostage-release-biden-b2534695.html Why wasn't this done on Oct 8?

 Responding to: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-16-2024


Iran’s intent was clearly to cause significant destruction and casualties. The aim was to get as many drones and missiles through Israel’s defenses as possible. Iran’s attack upon Israel was the first directly from Iran, but not the first. Iran has has been attacking Israel and America since its revolution. Iran funds Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and militias in Iraq and Syria. 

How can Israel be accused of making a preemptive strike against Hezbollah, when Hezbollah has launched thousands of missiles at Israel and has displaced 100k Israelis. Iran-backed Hezbollah has attacked Israel daily.

Whether or not Israel struck the site adjacent to Iranian diplomatic buildings in Syria, you should have told your readers that those generals killed were integral to the planning of terrorist attacks upon Israel, including the atrocities of 10/7. The US under both Obama and Trump also tried "decapitation" by killing Osama bin Laden and Qasem Soleimani, respectively.

Israel isn’t rejecting US requests to protect Palestinians and Israel isn’t blocking humanitarian aid. I am alarmed that you discuss the hardships in Gaza and  the  tragedy of the WCK volunteers deaths as anything but the fault of Hamas. More aid is going into Gaza now than before the war.  Military experts have noted that no army in history has done more to protect a civilian population in conflict than Israel has in Gaza. Israel has helped facilitate the delivery of over 375,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The aid arrives by land and air, carried out by the U.S., France, Belgium, Egypt, UAE, and Jordan. It’s hard to understand how many people refuse to condemn Hamas for starting and continuing all this suffering. There are low standards for Palestinian behavior while all demands are placed on Israel. Iran-funded Hamas is responsible for this war and all the suffering.

Hamas steals and sells the aid. The terrorists have intentionally killed individuals trying to get to the aid. They have killed clan leaders working to distribute aid. Hamas fighters were on the scene on the WCK jeeps. One of Hamas’s goals is to get as many civilians killed as possible.

Friendly fire accidents occur in every war. What is unusual is the vicious and hate-filled reporting to which no other country has been subjected in similar circumstances. Forgotten are our responses in Afghanistan, Iraq, and to 9/11.  For example, in the USA's withdrawal from Afghanistan, we tried to hit ISIS and instead accidently killed Zemari Ahmadi, a worker employed by Nutrition and Education International, a California-based aid organization, an innocent man carrying water jugs home to his family, along with 9 other civilians. To date, there has been no public accountability to President Biden’s National Security team.

And why make no mention of Egypt's actions on the border of Gaza. In most other conflicts, neighboring countries offer temporary shelter to civilians, they don't build giant new walls.

Since October 7, Israel has helped facilitate the delivery of over 375,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The aid arrives by land and air, carried out by the U.S., France, Belgium, Egypt, UAE, and Jordan.

Hostages Update: Six Months Since 10/7; If it's true that only 40 hostages remain alive, it would imply that Hamas has been murdering them in captivity - add this to the list of their many war crimes
Hostage Elad Katzir’s Body Recovered From Gaza Katzir, 47, a dual citizen of Israel and Poland, was kidnapped from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 by terrorists and coerced into lying on camera for two propaganda videos released by Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), one in December and one in January. He was then believed to be murdered by his captors sometime in mid-January. 

Amnesty International shared a post vilifying Israel for not releasing the monster who was responsible for the torture and death of Moshe Tamam in 1984. Moshe was kidnapped, eyes gouged out, mutilated and castrated before finally taking a bullet to the chest. The anti-Israel organization inverted the entirety of cause-and-effect, AI condemned "Israel's disregard for Palestinians' right to life," rather than an Israeli Arab's disregard for an Israeli Jew's right to life. Amnesty has never advocated for innocent Israelis in captivity, but they glorify this murderer. 

IRAN
EmojiJordanian Regime Furious With Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood: They Are Acting To Foment Chaos In Kingdom In Service Of Iran As per MEMRI analysis, Iran's grand plan includes bringing down the regime in Jordan, attacking Israel from the east while Israel is kept busy by Iran-backed resistance forces in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The political aim of this plan is to thwart the Saudi-American project of normalization with Israel.
EmojiU.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's (left) prediction that creating a Palestinian state will isolate Iran is "naïve and misunderstands" the Islamic Republic, headed by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
SYRIA
EmojiSyria attack kills 8 pro-Iran fighters: Eight Syrian fighters working with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) were killed Tuesday in a knife attack on their position in eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor province, in the second deadly attack on pro-Iran fighters in two days in the Mayadeen area. The eight dead fighters “worked under the command” of the IRGC. Control of Deir Ezzor is split between U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces to the east of the Euphrates river and Iran-backed Syrian government forces and their proxies to the west, with ISIS also active in the province. Tuesday’s attack came after gunmen reportedly killed three IRGC- affiliated Syrians  in an attack on a military position on the outskirts of Mayadeen city.  https://www.barrons.com/news/syria-attack-kills-8-pro-iran-fighters-monitor-6e12d3a2 But only the Israeli strike last week gets page 1.
