I was talking with a Jewish acquaintance about telescopes yesterday, and the conversation took a turn when I mentioned that, in the West, we’ve largely set aside texts like the Book of Joshua... especially the parts where children are treated simply as miniature enemies. Instead, we've come to agree that children are to be protected as a special class as the baseline. He took real exception to that. What I was trying to get across is that while many Israelis are thoroughly westernised, there has also been deliberate social reinforcement... through religious and cultural education. .. that sustains an older, highly atavistic view of the children of one's enemies. That, I believe, is what many in the West instinctively recoil from.
@themickey, GWB, henceforth known as Bub, he knows why, been saving that for years, is simply restating the exact same thing, known as the "tape recorder technique". I used to use a clip about it when I was training customer facing peeps in the 90s. It is effective but on the phone (now Internet) as in person, eventually, they will box your nose. If you can make them hang up, you win the high ground no matter how wrong you are. Corporate world stereotype politics, Bub is steeped in this.
As mentioned multiple times, the GHF has been ineffective in distributing food in Gaza and a new approach is needed. It appears that air drops from other countries (Jordan, etc.) will be starting again. IDF to allow foreign countries to drop aid in Gaza Strip Additionally, the World Central Kitchen organization has begun operating its kitchens inside Gaza again. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-862204
Sure Bub. That's not where the conversation is at, and the IDF are hoping more die in stampedes as stuff drops, but wait for the kitchens to come under attack by 'terrorists' as soon as it is expedient. Another twist of the tourniquet. There are child soldiers I have met with more strategic sense than Bub, an adult. "On Friday, one former US soldier who worked with the GHF said he had witnessed Israeli troops and security contractors firing on crowds. Anthony Aguilar told the BBC he had never seen such a level of "brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population"."
Seeing that Hamas allowed the World Central Kitchen to distribute & serve food in Gaza previously; the terrorist group is not likely to interfere with the re-started operation. It is more likely that the World Central Kitchen sites will be more in danger due to mobs of people desperate for food in Gaza. In regards to dropping food by plane in Gaza by other countries, I will note that Hamas allegedly previously fired on the planes. Probably because the terrorist group could not control the distribution of this food and make money re-selling it, or that Hamas simply did not like that U.S. planes were dropping some of the food aid. Additionally it should be noted that food aid dropped by plane is ineffective and there is the risk of killing people by dropped food packages. It is not clear if Hamas will interfere now with plane dropped food in an environment where Palestinians are desperate for food.
I asked the question on Google, "Did Hamas shoot at aircraft dropping food in Gaza by other countries?" There was not one mention of this. @gwb-trading please send a link, and not from your favorite Israel media.
What I did find in response to the question was pages of incidents of Israel firing on Food aid victims.
As usual @gwb-trading who is pro Jew twists the story so that Jews become the victim and Palestinians the perpetrators of violence.
