The All Things Political Topic - What's Going On...?

Look at what the poor IDF was forced to do.

Kind of weird watching a news report from our state broadcaster yesterday where they didn't use 'according to the Hamas run health ministry' but did mention western media being banned from Gaza by Israel. It had been nearly two years of steadfastly refusing to acknowledge exactly why there was never any corroboration of anything from western journalists on the ground so they had to- had to- both sides everything no matter how obvious the truth was. Guess they realised there was simply no way to spin emaciated children and flattened cities as being precise and humanitarian action by the only democracy in the ME any more.

They could always just not talk about it. I guess major goals were achieved and something has changed that we don't know about. /conspiracy

Nah can be done. The hasbara crowd seems to give :

• The UN's fault (and they are all compromised by Hamas) for blocking the GHF somehow
• The footage is lies and that was battle damage against terror infrastructure (I still laugh at terror tunnels)
• The emaciated kids had pre-existing illnesses and the anti-semitic media is to blame.
• Hamas' fault all this happened, so.

Mostly just "la la la I can't hear you" type stuff, I concede.

There's another side to this: Eygpt is not allowing in refugees from Gaza. This is despite Eygpt being a signatory to the Geneva Convention of July 28, 1951. Populating Gaza refugee camps outside the war zone would remediate much of the starvation. Where's the international pressure on Eygpt?
