Israeli Ambassador to the UK says there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza

Those that are actually in Gaza and who actually are seeing what's going on for themselves have this to say; unlike the Israeli Ambassador and other politicians who are safe in their ivory towers.

The World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) were among five agencies who described the situation in Gaza as "catastrophic" in a joint statement.

They could evacuate people into Israel right away, so what's the holdup?

Same with Egypt, what is the holdup? It's not like Egypt is 48 times larger than Israel...lol

Wait, you are right. There are a lot of newly open houses near Gaza that are just ready for them to move into.

There are two reasons they won't accept Palestinians

1) These countries economies cannot take the hit of having a sudden increase of around 2 million people that they would have too feed. Egypt for instance is already bankrupt.

2) They think that aiding Israel with removing Palestinians from their land is a treason as Israelis won't let them back into their land and then change Gaza name into Israel. By this, they will eliminate Palestinians from existence.

In other words, they don't want to pay the bill for a problem they think as a nation didn't contribute to it. They didn't tell Palestinians to fight nor the Israelis. Maybe giving them trillions of dollars would make them change their minds.

And that is true regardless of the attempts by the Israeli Ambassador to Britain to say there is no humanitarian crisis.

And the even more recent press release by the IDF

www.timesofisrael.com...

An Israeli security official says there is currently no humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, as the military continues to order Palestinians to move south.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, some 700,000 people of the estimated 1.1 million population of northern Gaza have evacuated south in recent days.

“As of now, I can tell you that there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza. There are hardships in moving people within days to the south of the Gaza Strip, but the population is getting along,” the official tells reporters.

It has been renamed as 'hardships' in the very new and extended definition of what a hardship is...

Have they used white phosphorus?

Sure put those people in the place of the citizens there and let's see how quickly they redefine the situation.

They didn't help the mess back when they owned Gaza, they just walled it off.

Even if you place them in bar they won't be able to deal with a fight...

- Use of White Phosphorus is a crime. That is obviously one of the reasons we have high civilian causalities.
- Cutting off Gaza’s electricity, water, food, and fuel supplies, creating a threat of imminent humanitarian catastrophe is a crime.
- Killing children no matter what the number is, which is probably very high is a crime.
- Murder of journalists is a crime.
- Mass forcible displacement to millions of civilians is a crime

That doesn't mean Hamas are angels. They're not.

Prove each one is a crime in the time of war, and then show proof Israel is actually doing any of it.

I don't have time to waste. If you want to get educated, it's your problem. I'm not your high school teacher. I don't need to explain the obvious. Read international law and you will know the rules.

"Human Rights Watch says Israel used white phosphorus in Gaza, Lebanon"

Israel said "The current accusation made against the IDF (Israel Defence Force) regarding the use of white phosphorus in Gaza is unequivocally false. The IDF has not deployed the use of such munitions."

White phosphorus is also not banned under the Geneva Convention, nor under international law. It says should not be used over dense populations and that is as strong of language as it gets.

OK then don't just make blanketed statements with zero anything. All 5 are not crimes BTW..

I think that is a good idea, Let's also put everyone who is against Israel from doing what they do at the music festival to get a good understanding too.

Israel fired dozens of white phosphorus munitions during Operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009, triggering international outcry. In 2013, when the Israeli High Court of Justice reviewed a complaint over the use of such weapons in Gaza, the military pledged that it would no longer use them in populated areas


Human Rights Watch (HRW) has reported having verified videos of Israel deploying controversial white phosphorus munitions, including over Gaza City, amid the ongoing confrontation with Hamas. The substance produces an incendiary effect and when discharged over densely populated areas risks indiscriminate harm to civilians.

Hamas terrorists are not the Palestinian people and here's why. And indiscriminate bombing killing everybody that is NOT Hamas is what? Hate and revenge, plain and simple.

It's 2023, where did they use it and did anyone get burned? It is also used as a smoke screen and in the initial response they may have used it near the coast when they were using their warships, I don't really know, but if they did do you see that as wrong too?

You are accusing them of many high crimes so maybe since you do not have a lot of time just stick to this one and prove that they used it in dense populations as an incendiary device to attack civilians and burn buildings.

Maybe the population should rise up against them and not have them as their GOVERNMENT. Maybe they should not support them and provide them with their young men as soldiers. Maybe they should ask Israel for help to remove them. Maybe they should not cheer and spit on a young dead naked girl as she was paraded through the streets, it wasn't just Hamas fighters cheering...

So you agree the US should take all refugees from Mexico as well?

Palestine is part of Israel, not Egypt. Right?
