absolutely gross that they didn't push a Ukraine-only bill....unfortunately one to surely fail given the GOP are pro-Russian
here; you need this in you life. Title of video is slightly misleading since there had always been warring/persecution over religion in the region but much of it stems a result of zionist settlements and subsequent creation of the state of Israel.
Clearing out another hospital of Hamas terrorists. Israel says over 100 arrests made in Gaza hospital raid https://thehill.com/policy/internat...-over-100-arrests-made-in-gaza-hospital-raid/ Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they made over 100 arrests in the Nasser Hospital raid, the main health facility in Khan Younis, a city in southern Gaza. In addition to the arrests, the IDF said they found weapons inside the hospital while searching for Hamas militants — who they believe took over the medical facility as a base. The military also killed multiple gunmen near the facility, per post on Telegram. Gaza’s Health Ministry said the Israeli troops “arrested a large number of medical staff from inside the Nasser Medical Complex, which it has turned into a military barracks, according to the Washington Post. The effort by the IDF is part of a multi-day raid of the health complex which kickstarted Thursday. After issuing evacuation warnings, Israeli troops entered the hospital after saying they had credible intelligence that suggested bodies of hostages might be in the complex. Hamas has denied allegations that its fighters use hospitals for cover. The raid has heightened concerns about the safety of medical workers and Palestinians, who were in the hospital, using the facility for shelter. As many as 10,000 people were at the hospital earlier this week, according to Reuters. Many left because of the orders from the IDF to evacuate. The United Nations’ human rights office voiced their worries about the Israeli raid, saying it came “after a week-long siege which cut off medical, food and fuel supplies.” “The raid appears to be part of a pattern of attacks by Israeli forces striking essential life-saving civilian infrastructure in Gaza, especially hospitals,” the office said Thursday. The IDF has not recovered any bodies so far, but told the Post in a statement that it is “well documented” that Hamas “uses hospitals and medical centers for its terror activities.” At least 28,000 people have been killed since the Israel-Hamas war started in October, according to the Gaza health officials.
Man from marketing speaks....... Morrison accuses UN of antisemitism, decries ‘persecution’ of Australian Jews By Patrick Begley February 18, 2024 https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...ution-of-australian-jews-20240218-p5f5ul.html Former prime minister Scott Morrison has accused the United Nations of antisemitism at a rally in Sydney while warning a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not currently viable. Thousands gathered in The Domain on Sunday for the event organised by a Christian pastor to support members of the Jewish community, under the slogan “Never Again” Is Now.

Instead of safety you were confronted with threats and even hatred.” Morrison, who recently announced his retirement from parliament, outlined examples of conduct he labelled antisemitic, including calls for the extinction of the state of Israel “from the river to the sea” and comparing Israeli government policies to those of Nazi Germany.

Israel, a behaviour not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation – that is antisemitism,” he said. “And we have seen that in the United Nations.” The former Liberal leader did not elaborate on his criticism of the UN but later warned against equating the Hamas terror attacks with Israel’s military actions in Gaza. The UN’s International Court of Justice ruled last month that Israel must do everything in its power to prevent acts of genocide against Palestinians. Morrison called for a lasting and deep peace that went beyond “the absence of conflict” and spoke in favour of a two-state solution, which drew boos from some in the crowd.

Leong spoke of the “tentacles” of the “Jewish lobby” at an event in December but has since apologised for the “inappropriate descriptor”. Senator Jacqui Lambie drew one of the biggest cheers from the crowd when railing against Hamas. “The only good terrorist is a bloody dead terrorist,” she said. Pro-Palestine organisers have continued to hold events in Sydney protesting Israel’s actions in Gaza, with another scheduled for next weekend.
