The cause of the delay. 6 points breach from the Israeli side according to them.
What is the relevance of that? The money never got the Palestinians any closer to freedom, nor was it intended to. What it comes down to is helplessness and the rage that inevitably comes from it.Completely different situations on so many levels. Just for example. Did Nat Turner receive billions of dollars in foreign aid? Even bigger than Marshall Plan (per capita).

It's not like Israel need it either. What a sick man.JOE BIDEN MOVES TO LIFT NEARLY EVERY RESTRICTION ON ISRAEL’S ACCESS TO U.S. WEAPONS STOCKPILE

With the WRSA-I, Biden is looking to lift virtually all the meaningful restrictions on the stockpile and the transfer of its arms to Israel, with plans to remove limitations to obsolete or surplus weapons, waive an annual spending cap on replenishing the stockpile, remove weapon-specific restrictions, and curtail congressional oversight. All of the changes in the Biden budget plan would be permanent, except for lifting the spending cap, which is limited to the 2024 fiscal year.
Israel isn’t a country with a shred of integrity. They lie, steal and murder. So them not honouring their side isn’t much of a surprise.
I’m good thanks - and I’ll say it again for you. There is not a shred of integrity about Israel. They lie time and time again, they abuse their hostages (sometimes sexually https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2023/7/10/palestinian-children-abused-in-israeli-detention-ngo), and they have already violated the ceasefire agreement from yesterday. Feel free to apply your own rigour to what the Palestinian side are saying, but for me the fact that what they have been saying can be corroborated by news organisations, humanitarian organisations, and human rights ngos says it all.You should look up the word gullibility sometime. You will believe (and repost), without any verification, anything that conforms to your pre-existing prejudices. The fact that Israeli pronouncements often need to be carefully examined in order to find some truth within them does not equate to everything any Palestinian posts should automatically be treated as honest and truthful.
Prisons everywhere are full of people who claim they didn't do it. Some of them are telling the truth but most aren't.

The irony is off the charts in this post.Please define your idea of what corroborated means? Because I don't think it means what you think it means.
I'll define gullible for you. "Gullible: easily deceived or duped."
You mean children in Israeli prison for throwing rocks?
Yep, no point in discussing all the horrible things biden does because trump is worse. Maga has really done a number on a lot of supposed leftists and liberals.Trump will be worse though!
Religion sure does suck.
You may be onto something here.
I love the philosophy of Buddha, but I have no time for the religion of Buddhism.All religions suck... And blind support for an extremely brutal apartheid regime resembles a religious cult, which sucks as well...
But he needs it like dopamine seeminglyIt's not like Israel need it either. What a sick man.
You ever been hit in the head by a rock?

But you follow it up with an incredulously ridiculous post such as this that I’d rather save myself the time.You ever been hit in the head by a rock?
Some of the details of the people Israel have taken hostage are harrowing. Here’s one:
Whole thread is worth a read.

Ah yes, Wikipedia, which is world renowned for its academic rigour...Thank you so much for posting unverified propaganda yet again.

Keep up the good work.
Ah yes, Wikipedia, which is world renowned for its academic rigour...
Who to believe, the numerous civil society and international NGOs who took Israa at her word, or her captors who have a penchant for locking up children and women, often without charge, and throwing away the key?
It’s an open source website that anyone with an internet connection can edit. It also says in the first line ‘according to Israeli authorities’. You can use your internet connection to read up on the case.It's certainly better than random Twitter accounts that ooze with bias.
He probably also meant a well know children game - chase and stab your fellow children friend with a kitchen knife.You ever been hit in the head by a rock?
You think this little kid throwing a stone is a danger to soldiers in an armoured vehicle?
Waiting for @do.ob to show us the Wikipedia link from Israeli sources before passing judgement.

Try harder doob.
One of the items that Israa’ carried with her was a propane tank for the kitchen. It would have been too expensive to buy a brand new one in Jerusalem. As she was leaving Jericho, the engine of her car died twice. Young people in the town warned her to turn around and find another form of transportation, but she did not heed their advice. She needed to get to Jerusalem to her new job at a nursing home. Each time her car died, the engine emitted a burning smell.
After travelling a couple of kilometers outside the Israeli Al-Za’ayem military checkpoint, near the illegal Jewish settlement of Ma’ale Adumim and a short distance east of Al-Quds, Israa’s car died again. No soldiers or army vehicles were in sight. A while later, a retired Israeli police officer passed by her stalled car. He parked his car in front of hers and asked for her ID as she desperately tried to restart the car. “There is a strong smell in the car,” she told him, trying to exit the car, but he insisted that she stay inside while he examined her papers.
She tried to open the windows, but they, too, were affected by the electrical failure. Again, she tried to exit the car, opening the door, but the officer rushed over and slammed it shut, crushing her hand. She yelled “Allahu Akbar ’alaiku” (God is greater than you are), chastising him several times for not allowing her to escape. She urged him to let her out as fire ignited in the front part of the car. He refused. He stood there, watching her burn inside. The airbag deployed, completely trapping her inside the blazing car.
The police officer who stopped her claimed that she was trying to use the propane tank to blow up the car. His testimony was the only one considered in the Israeli court, and Israa’ was branded a ‘terrorist’. She was sentenced to 11 years in prison. She is now serving her term at HaSharon prison inside Israel, and is denied much needed medical attention. After her debilitating injuries and imprisonment, her husband also suffered a car accident, leaving him permanently disabled and confined to a wheelchair. Their son, Mu’tasim, is now living with his grandmother in Jerusalem.
I see how you sidestepped the civil society and international NGOs question...It's certainly better than random Twitter accounts that ooze with bias.

But at least I know that you don't want to discuss this in good faith, so there's very little point in continuing this conversation.
You're defending indefinite child detention under military law too, I see.He probably also meant a well know children game - chase and stab your fellow children friend with a kitchen knife.
So we agree then that the Nat Turner analogy is fair. I’m glad we eventually cleared that up.Agreed. It went to Qatari real estate and terrorism fundaraiser. You are right again, it was never intended to either of those.
I kindly ask you to read it again. And then reply again. Thank you.You're defending indefinite child detention under military law too, I see.
No, we don't. We might agree to disagree.So we agree then that the Nat Turner analogy is fair. I’m glad we eventually cleared that up.
She was shot after by the Israeli after the car exploded and she was trying to escape - tweeter has the timeline the wrong way round. In his testimony they also claimed she had a knife but no knife was ever found.The tweet you posted claims Israeli soldiers caused the fire by shooting at the car. This seems to claim the fire was caused by engine problems?

I got my cases mixed up - it’s Shorouq that was shot: https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/...of-female-palestinian-prisoners-await-releaseWhat’s the source claiming she was shot after? Al Jazeera interviewed her sister who doesn’t mention her being shot, and the Jerusalem Post carried an interview with the police officer who intervened which claims he told bystanders not to shoot her.
He did say when more events came to light he faced a moral quandry. But yes I do give him the benefit of the doubt, not only because he's the child of two concentration camp survivors, but primarily because he's dedicated his life as a scholar on the issue, and has always offered a raw fact-based, meticulous overview of the conflict and has rightly cemented himself as an expert. He's also one of the few who's asked the inconvenient yet poignant question as to why and how this pressure cooker in Gaza exploded, instead of choosing to pile in on the condemnation without exploring the backdrop or context as to how it happened.
Contrast that to someone like Douglas Murray who you've just referenced. The man is nothing but a bigoted hack who's built his entire career on racist soundbites, perpetuating bigoted tropes like the great replacement theory, and the bulk of his arguments over the years essentially condense down to 'Muslims bad, Islam bad'. The fact he's refused to debate Professor Finkelstein on the issue only further signifies that since it appears a fact-based approach to such a debate would severely expose him as being out of his depth outside the comforts of his bigoted, soundbite-ridden echo chambers.
