Israel allows UN to bring in more equipment amid Gaza lawlessness
2024-07-16
Running supplies directly to Hamas. Perhaps the IDF dropped trackers in the boxes.
[GEO.TV] The United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
 said on Monday that it will start bringing in more armoured vehicles and personal protection equipment for its humanitarian aid operations in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
 Strip after receiving approval from Israeli authorities.

The approval was in response to a UN letter sent to Israel last month on safety and security in Gaza, said Scott Anderson, deputy humanitarian coordinator for the Occupied Paleostinian Territory, as the war between Israel and Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
 enters its tenth month and law and order has broken down.

The UN has long complained of obstacles to getting aid into Gaza — Israel inspects and approves all trucks — and says it is also struggling to distribute aid amid "total lawlessness" within the enclave of 2.3 million people, where a global hunger monitor last month said there is a high risk of famine.

#6  That’s certainly one perspective anon1. I’m afraid I disagree on some key points:

  • I don’t believe Israel has already lost or will lose the war against Iran’s sock puppets — Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. I believe that when this slow-motion war is over, Israel will still be standing strong, surrounded by the rubble of Gaza, Lebanon, and key bite of Syria and Iran. And at least half of Gaza’s population will have departed for Egypt and beyond.

  • I do not care that people and countries disposed to hate Jews and the Jewish state are using this excuse to put their ugliness out in the open. They are trading their few creative, law-abiding Jews for the excitements inherent in an invasion of Moslem colonists, at the end of which they’ll all look like the Syrian hinterlands. Tom Kratman’s Caliphate addresses the aftermath of those choices for them. (It’s a free download from publisher Baen book, which is how they seduce us into buying their other titles.)

  • Even as Israel is losing friends who were not actually friends, new friends — whether eager to be trading partners with the high tech start-up nation, admirers of Israeli spunk and accomplishments, or simply supporters of a robust democracy — are lining up to sign formal and informal accords… despite the Biden administration’s efforts to poison the atmosphere.

  • Finally, almost the entirety of Israel’s problems can be laid at the feet of the Biden administration, which has worked very, very hard to get to this point. Should the Republicans win in November, that will be turned around by January 21, 2025. Last time President Trump accomplished the Abraham Accords, and more countries were lined up to join them. This time I expect to see a preference cascade that will galvanize the world.

    #5  Israel is its own worst enemy

    Why was this situation not resolved on October 8?

    The entire place should have immediately been razed to the ground.

    Sorry but the hostages even 200 of them, should have been out of the equation as assumed casualties of war.

    This is actually the ethical response - because if you lose 300 young Israeli soldiers by carefully over months and months trying to fight a house-to-house combat, trying to weed out 'who is hamas' when every Arab Muslim man woman and child is actually hamas - then that is not ethical.

    The hostages were lost day 1. Yes some got rescued and some were handed back, but others lost their lives.

    This war should have been resolved in one week of shock and awe, and relocation of the entire Arab Muslim population to Arab Muslim countries by force.

    This was not/could not be done, so we have almost a year now dragged out Israel is predictably losing the PR war across western countries thanks to the huge muslim diaspora (and hamas are muslim brotherhood)

    so basically they may lose their entire country now

    This is existential. Israel is in fact going to cease to exist. Hamas will win if they don't resolve this soon with mass deportation.

    They can't rule it. They can't live peacefully side by side with it. They can't genocide it. The only option is resettlement of the Arab Muslims - which should have been done in 1948.

    #2  it will start bringing in more armoured vehicles and personal protection equipment for its humanitarian aid operations in the Gazoo

    That's two for one: Hamas gets armored vehicles - killing some IDf soldiers, and UN gets to scream when IDF responds.
