Shurat Hadin Takes ICRC to Court

 The ICRC Also known as the Hamas-ISIS Uber service should not speak about moral failure when they fail to give even the basic medical attention to the Israeli hostages saying they have no power at all!

This level of hypocrisy is astonishing. The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC , Mirjana Spoljaric, is calling the war in Gaza a "moral failure".

Has she called the brutal and savage attacks of October 7th by the terrorist organization Hamas on innocent civilians a moral failure? How about Hamas using the Palestinians as human shields? Or Hamas launching rockets from schools and hospitals?

We're now 78 days into this war. Which in case anyone at the ICRC has forgotten, Israel did not start. Has the Red Cross actually done its job and gone in to see the hostages and make sure they at least have the medications they need to survive? Anyone at the ICRC calling the kidnapping of innocent civilians and holding them hostage a moral failure?

Mirjana, take a good look in the mirror. You are a moral failure. The ICRC is a moral failure. You and your organization are a disgrace.

 Raz and Ohad Ben Ami were kidnapped from their home in Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7, and were held separately in Gaza. Ohad, 55, remains a hostage and Raz, 57, was released after nearly two months in captivity. She was kept in inhumane conditions and her health deteriorated since she did not receive the medicine she takes for a chronic illness. While she was in captivity, her family members begged International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) officials in Israel, Germany and the United States to try to deliver the medicine to her, but they were rejected.

One of the ICRC officials even sent an email to the family, in which he wrote: "I wish you success in re-establishing contact with your family members."

Now, the Shurat Hadin Israeli Law Center organization has submitted a claim to the Jerusalem District Court on behalf of Raz and Ohad Ben Ami and their families against the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The lawsuit accuses the Red Cross of not acting to fulfill its mandate to visit the Israeli hostages held in Gaza, and for not guaranteeing their safety or acting for their release.

 

Noa Tishbi challenges Greta Thunberg

 HOW DARE YOU @GretaThunberg

. How DARE you call for ethnically cleansing the Jewish people from our ancestral land?? You know nothing. No history, no reality, no truth. So I have this to say to you. Israel is not a colonialist state – it’s a refugee state which was literally decolonized from Britain. The majority of Israeli Jews are people of color, whose families were ethnically cleansed from other parts of the Middle East. Throughout history, the only indigenous sovereign entities to exist in the land have been Jewish states.

Doctors Without Borders, (MSF) an Accomplice of Hamas?

 The neutrality and independence of yet another international organization is called into question in Gaza.

• Since October 7, MSF, which is extremely active on X, has not made a single tweet denouncing the crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, including the abduction of over 240 Israelis and others who have been held in Gaza as hostages, and the use of hospitals as barracks or human shields. MSF has constantly denounced Israel in virulent terms, but never the violations of humanitarian law committed by Hamas.
• The information provided by MSF, which often repeats without proof the words of its local Palestinian employees, should therefore be no more credible than that of Hamas.
• MSF must be irreproachable and neutral in its work. This is clearly not the case in Gaza.

One after another international organisations have totally ignored the massacre of October 7th. Israel has to prove and justify every claim it makes whilst Hamas statements are accepted without question. 

IDF's Robust System For Operational Conduct

IDF rescues abandoned pets, exotic birds and even a lion from Gaza

 Coverage of the Israel-Hamas war often focuses on humans affected by the conflict. Still, many of the IDF’s heroic efforts may go unnoticed, including the rescue of abandoned animals from Gaza.

Since the ground war in Gaza began, the IDF has rescued cats, dogs, parrots, owls, and even a neglected lion from the Gaza zoo.

Lieutenant Lihi Agiv, a communications officer in the 12th Division described rescuing a puppy while serving on the front lines.

Lt. Agiv told Ynet: “I was touring with the division commander when I noticed a skinny, scared little puppy that ran to us. She was shaking. I have a dog at home so I’m very sensitive to animals. I picked her up and took her with me.”

After Lieutenant Lihi fed the puppy and gave her water, she knew that Beit Hanoun was no place for such a vulnerable creature.

The puppy was sent to her new owner, and all of the soldiers gave her a warm welcome.

“As soon as I took her, all the soldiers wanted to pet her. People were so crazy about her that they gave her their food. The 12th Division is filled with incredible decency and humanity that you don’t see everywhere,” said Lt. Lihi.

Towards the end of one of the Shaked Battalion’s missions in Gaza, Platoon Commander Lieutenant Eran Admoni found a white fluffy cat that had been abandoned.

He said, “They gave her a kind of shelter. When the mission was over, they took her back to Israel. The fighters searched for people to adopt her and finally found an adoptive family.”

The cat wasn’t the only animal the Shaked Battalion rescued in Gaza; Major Tal Attias and Lieutenant Yoav Sander shared the privilege of walking with a large, colorful parrot on their shoulders.

The troops rescued the parrot which was trapped under the rubble in Gaza’s Palestine Square, a place that holds special significance for the current war because it was the first location in Gaza where the hostages were brought.

When the Israeli navy was sailing off the coast of Gaza, an injured owl landed on the deck. The sailors fed the owl and made a small cage for him.

Lieutenant Jonathan, an Israeli Navy officer, reports that when they reached Haifa, they placed the owl in a wildlife hospital and since then, the owl has made a full recovery and was released back into the wild.

Perhaps the most astounding and heart-rending rescue is still in process and involves saving a malnourished lion from a Gaza zoo.

The Nature and Parks Authority is in communication with the IDF to determine how and when to rescue the lion from Gaza safely.

Myth: Hamas doesn't represent the Palestinian people

(With thanks for this data from IDSF) 

Figures show that an extremely significant portion of the Palestinian populace favors the Hamas terror organization and would even elect it in a landslide if Palestinian elections were held today, both in the Judea and Samaria area and in the Gaza Strip. Support in the social media, in the Palestinian street, and even in student elections at the Palestinian universities in Judea and Samaria — ostensibly the academic and intellectual stronghold of the social elite — along with immense outdoor demonstrations of support in Gaza and Ramallah, empirical figures, and qualitative analyses of Palestinian public opinion, leave little room for doubt: support for Hamas among everyday Palestinians is significant, and that painful truth must be faced.

The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR), based in Ramallah and headed by Dr. Khalil Shkaki, finds Palestinian support for Hamas steady and consistent both in the Judea and Samaria area (“West Bank”) and in the Gaza Strip. In a survey held between September 6 and 9, 2023 — a mere month before the October 7 massacre – 44% of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip replied that they support Hamas, along with 24% of Palestinians in Judea and Samaria. 

The IDSF Research Department examined the results of Dr. Shkaki’s public-opinion polls covering the past five years, rather than merely the results of a single survey, and found a consistent, stable trend of decisive support for Hamas, with a landslide for any Hamas candidate against any other candidate if Palestinian elections were to be held. In almost every public opinion poll, Hamas won against Fatah on the question of “Who would be suitable as the true representative of the Palestinian people?” From May 2018 to September 2023, Hamas maintained its strength at 42.75% support among Palestinians in Gaza as against 30.6% support for Fatah.
