Hamas’ network of tunnels under Gaza is approximately 160% larger than the London Underground, which is 250 miles long.
For reference, the Gaza Strip, which is about 25 square miles, is only 23% the size of London.
These tunnels have shafts poking out of homes, schools, UNRWA facilities, mosques, hospitals, kindergartens, and graveyards.
This is the monster that Israel is fighting: everywhere, immense, and terrifying.
And all of Gaza is sitting atop its nest.
@Lizette603_23 And everyone’s mood. 🤣
Erick Peretz, 58, and his 16-year-old daughter, Ruth, were murdered by Hamas while attending the Supernova music festival on October 7.
Erick had taken Ruth, who was born with cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, and used a wheelchair, to the festival because of her love of music.
“For years he would go to these festivals and bring Ruth because it made her really happy and she loved it,” said Ya’arit Peretz, Erick’s daughter, and Ruth’s sister. “There were times he would take her and she didn’t want to come home. It was their tradition, to go to festivals.”
The pair were both missing for many days as their family searched frantically for information before they were informed that their bodies had been found more than 10 days after the attack.
Erick devoted his life to Ruth. He was an incredible father, a man with a free spirit, who loved everyone and was always smiling.
May the memories of Erick and Ruth forever be a blessing.
@Lizette603_23 Thanks for not blocking. That seems to be the typical reaction around here.
This is just priceless. Trump argues in court, he cannot be removed from the ballot, because the office of the president is not explicitly mentioned in the constitution as one which must not participate in insurrection…
… only to be met by an army of 25 skilled historians who have the insight and documentation which proves, that indeed, what was meant in the constitution is exactly the opposite.
Stupidity never wins.
The wonderful Michael Popok has the story:

@Lizette603_23 I’ve read it 3 times now, so I’ll go with your previous statement to agree to disagree on this one.
@Lizette603_23 Somali and Muslim. Not necessarily Minnesotans.
@Lizette603_23 What was the actual translation then? I must have missed it.
@Lizette603_23 But doesn’t offer a correct translation.
@RamenCatholic That article denies the translation, but neglects to offer a correct translation. @Lizette603_23
@Lizette603_23 I’ve tried being understanding and accepting, but this is just unacceptable. While deportation is probably overkill, she shouldn’t be in Congress. #IlhanOmar
@Lizette603_23 Right?
@Lizette603_23 That’s kinda inadequate for public service.
@Lizette603_23 Yes. Her comment that she is a Somali first and a Muslim second. Was wondering where America fit into her life.
@mentallyalex@beige.party Leave them at local churches too! @TonyStark @robbienorlyn
@AlliFlowers @mentallyalex @robbienorlyn I’m so busy trying to mobilize people in other ways I hadn’t thought about it. Maybe I’ll slip any hardcore Trumpers I encounter a Mike Pompeo 2024 sign. 🤭
@TonyStark Brilliant! @mentallyalex@beige.party @robbienorlyn
@TonyStark Honestly, I’m good with that. @robbienorlyn
