nearly 20 million pounds of food ashore since it began on May 17.

With a population of around 2 million in Gaza that's 10 pounds of food per person over some 50 days. About 90 grams of food per person per day. 90 grams is like half an apple.

Jfc, and no working hospitals for the wounded. No medicine, and no food. This is unconscionable.

Is Israel going to just keep re-bombing and re-displacing the entirety of Palestine?

Seems too little too late. It was the U.S. car manufacturers that gutted the U.S. auto industry anyway... now they get a handout? Meanwhile the fossil fuel industry is subsidized to the tune of $20 bn a year, which decimated market competition for EVs.

I wonder how it would read if they quoted the Russian military in the headline on the right.

Hamas hasn't been around for 75 years.

And helping Hamas get into power in order to

  • destroy Palestinian unity
  • squash secular, progressive, democratic leadership
  • promote violence

If you want to see what happens when Palestinians cooperate with Israel, look at the West Bank:

THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LAW!

more than 500,000 Israeli settlers living in the West Bank

I didn't know that over 5% of the population lives in illegal settlements.

"Everyone knew by then that such vehicles could be carrying kidnapped civilians or soldiers," a source in Southern Command told Haaretz. "There was no case in which a vehicle carrying kidnapped people was knowingly attacked, but you couldn't really know if there were any such people in a vehicle. I can't say there was a clear instruction, but everyone knew what it meant to not let any vehicles return to Gaza."

Is that why there were so many charred cars? It never really added up to me- Hamas had no aerial capabilities (unless you count hang gliders), no tanks, RPGs are single use, and yet there were tons of blown up cars.

Jfc looks like child cancer patients in that one pic.

Good that there are reporters on the ground to show the world what Russia is doing.
