This is an attempt to “break out” memes, links, and my commentary about the situation in Israel / the Middle East so as to not overload the standard meme posts that I do. My last “normal” meme post. In these Israel-related posts I don’t just have memes such, but lots of informative links as well as hopefully-insightful commentary.
Note that this is not meant to be a day-by-day update about what’s going on. Rather, to highlight uncomfortable truths about the actual nature of the conflict, deep-history background, and so on, as well as to show the at-present immutable nature of Islamic hatred of Jews and why that matters to today’s events.
Also note that these posts generally do not repeat information (e.g., specific links or memes) – so there is a lot of stuff in prior posts. Please do check them out too if this is a topic of interest to you. In reverse chronological order:

Don’t forget my special report on the *cough cough* hardships of pre-Oct 7 “Concentration Camp Gaza”:
Pre-War “Concentration Camp” Gaza – Granite Grok

Show the Video, Israel › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)
Force the Squad, the maladjusted kids taking over campuses, and the sympathetic or cowardly administrations of America’s universities to confront it all. Just as Eisenhower marched German civilians through the concentration camps after American forces liberated them to confront the evil done in their name.
…
It is no longer enough for Israel to show the October 7 video to journalists, governments, and other select audiences. Everyone must see what Hamas and the Gazan civilians who followed Hamas into Israel did on October 7 and the glee and sheer ecstasy they brought to their butchery.

TOP OF THE FOLD
This excellent beat-down of the Boston Globe appears here (links in the original):
Boston Globe Media, I want to bring to your attention the fact that I am offended by, insulted by, and fed up with the Hamas propaganda masquerading as “journalism” that you are publishing on a daily basis.
Take the article below.
Let’s start with the title, “Heavy fighting rages around Gaza’s biggest hospital as Israel raids it again.” Talk about misleading. A more appropriate headline would be “Dozens of Hamas terrorists have, once again embedded themselves among civilians at Shifa Hospital. Multiple terrorists killed by Israeli forces.” I believe that the main point of the article is that the terrorists are again using a hospital (where they previously brought and held Israelis and those working in Israel that they had kidnapped) to launch attacks on Israel and to use innocent civilians as human shields. https://lnkd.in/eT5shpfU
Next, let’s focus on the “journalism.” The authors claim that “The military said it had killed 50 Hamas militants in the hospital, but it could not be independently confirmed that the dead were combatants.” This phrasing suggests that the authors can confirm the deaths but not that the dead are terrorists.
The Globe also reports the Israeli claim that it “raided Shifa . . . because Hamas fighters had grouped in the hospital and were directing attacks from inside,” but states that this “claim could not be confirmed, and the Hamas media office said all those killed in the assault were civilians.” However, the Globe admits, toward the end of the article, that the Gaza Health Ministry (which is Hamas) “doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants.” So, the Globe knows that Hamas is not a reliable source on the identity of those killed, right?
In a section under the header “New Shifa siege” the Globe calls into question the veracity of Israeli claims that Hamas “maintained an elaborate command center within and beneath the facility.” While acknowledging that the Israeli military “revealed a tunnel leading to some underground rooms, as well as weapons it said were found inside the hospital,” the Globe goes on to weigh the trustworthiness of this “evidence” and states that evidence of current Hamas use of Shifa hospital “fell short of the earlier claims, and critics accused the army of recklessly endangering the lives of civilians.”
What kind of evidence is the Globe demanding from Hamas before reporting its version of events? Why is evidence (like video evidence) provided by Israel continually characterized as “unable to be verified.” The Globe needs to do a better job of distinguishing facts from fiction and to stop serving as a mouthpiece for terrorists.
It is my working hypothesis that it’s not merely Jew hatred that fuels this actual twisting / spinning of events, but racism. These people, these suuuuuupergeniuses, literally cannot fathom that “uneducated brown people” could fool them.

In many ways, Israel has had to abandon this established playbook in order to prevent civilian harm. The IDF has telegraphed almost every move ahead of time so civilians can relocate, nearly always ceding the element of surprise. This has allowed Hamas to reposition its senior leaders (and the Israel hostages) as needed through the dense urban terrain of Gaza and the miles of underground tunnels it’s built.
No nation has ever done what Israel has done trying to avoid civilian casualties. Period. Related:

A school bus. Say, isn’t attacking obvious civilians a war crime? But you must remember… to Islam, if you oppose Islam you are in the “House of War” and therefore are a legitimate target. Recall Hamas’ leader saying “We don’t target civilians”? That’s because every Israeli is treading on what they consider their land, and therefore is a soldier against them.

The Gaza you don’t see.
On Oct 6, 2023 Gaza was beautiful. It had all the potential to be a tourist heaven.
With billions of aid money for a brighter future, Gaza had the resources to become the next Singapore and we, Israelis, were rooting for them. We even granted permits for Gazans to work in Israel to create better lives for their families.
Instead of moving forward and building a prosperous society, Gaza chose to hate the Jews.
I hate seeing all this beauty disappear. I wish my neighbors would prioritize the safety of their children over killing mine.
I wish Gaza would have chosen a ceasefire on Oct 6, 2023.

An interesting twist in the Palestinian-Qatari blood plot about the rape of Palestinian women in Shifaa Hospital by Israeli soldiers
After the rumors that Jamila Alhassi published yesterday with the help of the Aljazeera Qatari network spread, in the last few hours Gazan surfers on leading Facebook accounts began to demand on their own initiative verification of the details of the case.
The surprising reason: the rumors about the rape of the women caused many families in the north of the Gaza Strip to move to the south of the Gaza Strip out of fear that their daughters would be raped.
I read several testimonies about many families who moved south from Gaza following Elhasi’s story.
Then I read the following amazing post on the part of Azati who has a Facebook account with about ten thousand followers:
“All the reports about the rape of Palestinian women in the raid on the Shafa’ hospital originate from the information provided by Mrs. Jamila Alhassi in an interview broadcast by the Aljazeera network. Alhassi is an unknown lady. The additions that the rape victim was a pregnant woman came in response to a photo from an anonymous Facebook account. The news It can be true and it can be false… In a way, a significant number of families I met today in Wadi Gaza stated that these reports caused them to be displaced from the north of the Gaza Strip, towards the south. I do not believe that we should contribute to emptying the north of the Gaza Strip of residents in this way that an organization used” The Haganah” who drove away the residents of the Galilee villages by spreading rumors and sowing panic…. and killing and terrorizing and committing sexual crimes….
In view of these reports we need to be more alert, aware and professional… and ask who? and where? and when? and why? and how? Questions that need to be answered. It is not possible that 24 hours have passed and the reports have not been clarified and no verified news has arrived… and perhaps Alhassi’s words were just a wrong spew…”And on this it will be said: He catches the wise in their own craftiness’.
The Palestinians know their goods very intimately…

LinkedIn post about the amount of food getting into Gaza:
Video. And:
This is double, 2 times, 100% MORE food than it is necessary to feed all of Gaza for the 170 days of this war.
Israel has been flooding Gaza with food and aid coming from many different countries.
(Despite being under no obligation to under international law)
The problem, the bottleneck is that the UN is failing to distribute said aid and the pace that Israel is providing it..
Oh, and Hamas is stealing the aid.
So to sum it up:
– 80% MORE food trucks are entering Gaza compared to before Hamas started the war.
– Double the amount of food needed to feed the population has entered Gaza.
– Even the UN confirmed a “significant scale-up in humanitarian efforts…facilitated by the Israeli authorities”.Don’t believe me? Check for yourself.
And then tell me, is Israel starving the Gazans?

A CONCLUDING THOUGHT FOR THIS POST
Magical thinking. Like I keep saying:
Trying to please your enemies does not turn them into friends.
For example, per here (partial quote):
IDF/security “experts”, who should have resigned on Oct. 8th for their absolute failure in protecting Israelis from the very preventable horrific attack/massacre on Oct. 7th, are now recommending to empower local Gazans and give them guns, to protect themselves from Hamas.
Here again we see how blind they are to reality and the tribal culture of the Middle East. Those guns will not be used against Hamas, but against us Jews!
I would not be surprised if some of these IDF/security experts are against the policy to allow more Israeli citizens to own guns.
Or this:
From 1996 to 1999, relief worker Nasra Hassan conducted interviews with some 250 Palestinians who either attempted to carry out suicide bombings, trained others for such attacks, or were related to deceased bombers.
Writing in The New Yorker, she reported that “none of [the bombers] were uneducated, desperately poor, simple-minded, or depressed. Many were middle class and, unless they were fugitives, held paying jobs… Two were the sons of millionaires.”
…
By the time he was done, he had concluded that there is “no significant relationship” between the economic conditions in a given country and the rise of terrorists there.
Given all of the above, why do so many “experts,” politicians, and pundits still stubbornly cling to the utterly unscientific idea that poverty causes terrorism?
The concluding paragraph is spot-on. Wishful thinking. We’re dealing with delusional people. Like this fool:
As opposed to someone with an understanding of reality:
You cannot “coexist” with someone sworn to kill you.
