@StillIRise1963 Right. But you asked what we had learned. And learn we must if we are gonna save even one more innocent.
I’ve been reading and watching for the last 2 days to see how Egypt could be convinced to open the Rafah gate. No one is even talking about pressuring Egypt and I don’t understand why not.

@jeffowski A propos of nothing, I hope you are feeling better today, and in a more positive place.
The huge explosion at the hospital in Gaza suggests they were stockpiling ammunition there.
If I understand correctly, soon after that explosion Hamas said it was willing to return all hostages for the cessation of bombing of Gaza.
In my view that is strong evidence that their misfire or an Israeli strike got most of Hamas's ammunition and they're now desperate
Or maybe they are lying about the prisoner deal

With 90% of the vote counted, it's clear the democratic opposition in Poland just defeated the national-conservative autocratic ruling party.

3/ ANERA
Anera.org
Anera is providing urgent humanitarian relief to Palestinians in Gaza, including medical supplies like blood bags, hygiene kits, and food parcels for the overwhelming numbers of displaced families. Anera supplies assistance to only legitimate institutions to comply with U.S. laws, and as Hamas is designated as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department, Anera does not work or even coordinate with them, and is independently audited.
The #FBI is tracking increased numbers of #threats against both #Jewish & #Muslim Americans in the wake of the #Hamas attack on #Israel.
#ChristopherWray, the FBI dir, said the attack could inspire #violence in the #UnitedStates.
The greatest potential threat of violence in the US comes from lone actors, who can be hard to detect because such people are typically not known… ahead of time.

President Biden said in an interview broadcast Sunday that a new Israeli occupation of Gaza would be “a big mistake,” comments that came as Israel is expected to launch a hard-hitting ground invasion of the Palestinian enclave.
“I think it’d be a big mistake,” Biden said in a response to a question from “60 Minutes” host Scott Pelley. “Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don’t represent all the Palestinian people. And I think that … it would be a mistake … for Israel to occupy … Gaza again.”
Biden’s warning against reoccupying Gaza amounted to one of his firmest efforts so far to impose a limit on Israel’s actions in retaliation for Hamas attacks that have...
