âThis business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear â itâs simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public,â Mr Hagari told Israelâs Channel 13 TV.
âHamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. Itâs rooted in the hearts of the people â whoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong.â
Most of us having been saying that from the start.
But itâs taken so many deaths for someone in Israel to recognize it.
Not that it will make any difference with Netanyahu in charge.
Earlier reports put the estimated death toll at 42.
Israeli media reported that the air strikes may have been targeting a senior Hamas official.
Thatâs alright then.
The Australian Senate voted down a motion put forward by the Greens to recognise the statehood of Palestine. 23 out of the 26 Labor Senators voted against. Only 1 of them voted in favour.
Had 20 of those 23 voted in favour, the motion wouldâve passed.
Shameful

It was so close.
The Israeli military says itâs looking into the incident.
Itâs a big hole,so quite appropriate from the IDF for once.

By June 19, 2024, 37 396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
The Ministryâs figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence service
the UN, and WHO.
Furthermore, the UN estimates that, by Feb 29, 2024, 35% of buildings in the Gaza Strip had been destroyed,
so the number of bodies still buried in the rubble is likely substantial, with estimates of more than 10 000
The Jewish settler colonial project is protean. It changes its shape but not its essence. Its tactics vary. Its intensity comes in waves of severe repression and less repression.
Its rhetoric about peace masks its intent. It grinds forward with its deadly, perverted, racist logic. And yet, the Palestinians endure, refusing to submit, resisting despite the overwhelming odds, grasping at tiny kernels of hope from bottomless wells of despair. There is a word for this. Heroic
A poll by Roy Morgan published last November found marked differences between generations when it came to attitudes to the war in Gaza.
People aged 18 to 30 were more likely to believe the Australian government favours Israel, and more likely to want greater action by Australia to support Palestinians.
Itâs tragic that the world is run by indoctrinated old people.
More slaughter
Very well said 
Watching Lammy cosying up to Netanyahu and Hotovely makes me ashamed to be British, too many British politicians are in Israelâs pocket.
What has really annoyed me is that all the world leaders being sympathetic to the awful Trump saying there shouldnât be violence in politics but most of them not saying a word about the politically inspired violence in Gaza.
I guess the world will see what will happen next year, about the situation in Gaza. Look at what the leaders of the countries have accomplished. Really kind of pitiful accomplishments.

We started seeing a series of children, preteens mostly, whoâd been shot in the head. Theyâd go on to slowly die, only to be replaced by new victims whoâd also been shot in the head, and who would also go on to slowly die. Their families told us one of two stories: the children were playing inside when they were shot by Israeli forces, or they were playing in the street when they were shot by Israeli forces.

Rep Mark Pocan:
I will not be attending Netanyahuâs speech to Congress. I only regret that an arrest warrant for his war crimes has not yet been issued by the ICC, as I would have gladly served it to him on the House floor. Unfortunately, Netanyahu doesnât stand for peace in the Middle East.
What a pair of evil old men.
Responsible for the suffering and deaths of thousands.
