Israelis are scared rightfully so Israelis are arming up in the aftermath of Hamas’ attack. Some are worried it is playing to the far right’s vision for the country Caesarea and Jerusalem CNN — Behind tables laden with more than 50 assault rifles, Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, smiled at a crowd of people who had come to the coastal city of Caesarea for a ceremony to receive the firearms. The divisive politician has been crisscrossing Israel in the past weeks handing out guns to civilian members of security squads as he expands Israeli citizens’ access to guns in the wake of Hamas’ attack last month. The aim, according to the Ministry of National Security, is to create teams to respond to future terror incidents. The successes of some volunteer security units in southern Israel, who were able to push Hamas gunmen back on October 7 in certain locales, have attracted new members to the initiative. edition.cnn.com/2023/11/14/middleeast/israel-guns-hamas-far-right/index.html |

Yeah security going be pretty pretty tight Security ramps up ahead of tens of thousands expected in DC today for ‘March for Israel’ Security ramps up ahead of tens of thousands expected in DC today for ‘March for Israel’ Law enforcement has ramped up security ahead of the arrival of tens of thousands of demonstrators expected to gather Tuesday at the National Mall in Washington, DC, to denounce antisemitism at the “March for Israel.” Jewish community leaders and celebrities are scheduled to speak at the event, which comes amid heightened tension around the world over the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and an unprecedented surge in antisemitic incidents in the US. “The March for Israel will be an opportunity for all Americans to come together in solidarity with the people of Israel, to demonstrate our commitment to America’s most important ally in the Middle East, to condemn the rising trend of antisemitic violence and harassment, and to demand that every hostage be immediately and safely released,” organizers said in a statement. edition.cnn.com/2023/11/14/us/march-for-israel-washington-security/index.html |

This off France 24 Israel-Hamas war: Al Shifa Hospital becomes focus of conflicting narratives Al Shifa Hospital has become a focal point of the war in Gaza as a symbol of devastating civilian suffering and conflicting narratives from Israel and Hamas. At the heart of competing claims about the hospital is Israel’s stance that Al Shifa sits above an extensive tunnel network housing the Islamist militant group’s headquarters in Gaza. IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said on October 27 that Israel had “concrete evidence” that the hospital was being used to hide Hamas members and provided visuals and intercepted audio that he said was evidence of the organisation's use of Al Shifa as its headquarters. Hamas has multiple underground complexes under the hospital accessible via several tunnels and an entrance on one of the wards, he said. www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20231114-israel-hamas-war-al-shifa-hospital-becomes-focus-of-conflicting-narratives |

GOOD IDEA EU DUH! EU condemns Hamas for using people as human shields, but urges 'maximum restraint' from Israel The European Union has condemned Hamas for using hospitals and civilians in them as shields, while at the same time urging Israel to show maximum restraint. Josep Borrell, the EU's High Representative for Foreing Affairs conveyed this message during a meeting of foreign affairs ministers in Brussels on Monday. "We ask Israel to show maximum restraint, in order to save civilian lives and we condemn the use by Hamas of people at hospitals as shields, but we also express our concern for the dire situation of the hospitals that are being heavily affected by the bombing," the foreign policy chief told reporters. Josep Borrell also said on Monday that he will go to the region to meet with leaders and discuss the situation this week. www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/11/13/eu-condemns-hamas-for-using-people-as-human-shields-but-urges-maximum-restraint-from-israe |

This off Euro news I think Al Jazeeza full of it they are good reporters don't get wrong their bias really showing I been watching more of Israel 24 and other sites on this war Barbaric': Israeli raid on Gaza's main hospital condemned The IDF has said it entered al-Shifa hospital in a "targeted operation" against Hamas militants. The Palestinian Authority has accused the Israeli army of "flagrantly" violating international law, after it stormed Gaza's biggest hospital. Earlier Wednesday morning, Israel’s military said it was carrying out a “precise and targeted operation" against Hamas at al-Shifa hospital. Mohammed Zaqout, the director of hospitals in Gaza, said Israeli tanks were inside the medical compound and that soldiers had entered buildings, including the emergency and surgery departments, which house intensive care units. www.euronews.com/2023/11/15/israeli-troops-and-tanks-storm-gazas-main-hospital |

Still going down in the battle Israel-Hamas war live: Gaza hospital raid 'still ongoing' WHO Chief calls Israeli troop action inside Al-Shifa Hospital 'unacceptable' Israel's military announces operation at Al-Shifa hospital after days of fighting, claims and counterclaims The US had earlier said it had intelligence suggesting Hamas was using the hospital as a command and control node, supporting prior claims by Israel Hamas and medical officials in Gaza say the hospital is not used for military purposes There is no place in Gaza that we won't reach': Netanyahu Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said no part of Gaza was beyond reach in his mission to eliminate Hamas and free more than 240 hostages who were taken by the Islamist group on October 7. "They told us we wouldn't reach the outskirts of Gaza City and we did; they told us we wouldn't enter Al-Shifa (hospital) and we did," Netanyahu said while visiting troops at the Zikim military base near north Gaza. "There is no place in Gaza that we won't reach," he said. He added: "We will arrive and eliminate Hamas and return our abductees — these are two sacred missions." Reports of Israeli military action at Al-Shifa hospital 'deeply concerning' — WHO head Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said reports of a "military incursion into Al-Shifa hospital are deeply concerning," in a post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. "We've lost touch again with health personnel at the hospital. We're extremely worried for their and their patients' safety," Tedros said. Israeli forces entered the grounds of Gaza's largest medical facility early on Wednesday in what it said was a "precise targeted operation." There has been heavy fighting near the hospital in recent days with the situation becoming increasingly desperate for patients and those seeking shelter. www.dw.com/en/israel-gaza-live-updates-november-15/live-67402983 |

Yeah I like to know TOOOO! What role does Syria play in the Hamas-Israel conflict? Syrian activists who took part in anti-government demonstrations in their own country were horrified to see Syrian President Bashar Assad show up in the Saudi capital last weekend for a special summit on the Hamas-Israel conflict. After over a decade of war, they consider the Syrian dictator responsible for some of the worst brutality back home: the displacement of millions, the torture of thousands and an estimated half a million people dead. "Assad's speech at the meetings in Riyadh about the situation in Gaza might win a prize for the world's most hypocritical moment," Celine Kassem, an activist and communications officer working for the Washington-based Force, told DW. On Saturday, Assad gave a speech in Saudi Arabia as part of a special summit that brought together members of the regional cooperation body, the Arab League, and members of the global Organization of Islamic Cooperation. At the meeting, Arab leaders argued that Israel was flouting international humanitarian laws and accused the country of committing war crimes against the civilians of Gaza. In his talk, the Syrian dictator criticized normalization agreements between other Middle Eastern countries and Israel. www.dw.com/en/what-role-does-syria-play-in-the-hamas-israel-conflict/a-67399322 |

I seee WH Israel's operation at Gaza hospital is its own decision, White House says From CNN's Kevin Liptak The US continues to believe Israel should not target hospitals in Gaza from the air and that civilians should be protected from the crossfire, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said, as Israel continues its raid on the enclave’s largest medical facility. Kirby said the US did not sign off on the specific operation around Al-Shifa Hospital nor does it approve any of Israel’s military plans. “We did not give an OK to their military operations around the hospital, in similar fashion to the fact that we don't give OKs to their other tactical operations,” Kirby said. “These are Israeli military operations that they plan and they execute on, you know, in accordance with their own established procedures that the United States is not involved in.” He said he would "refrain ... from providing a running commentary on what is an ongoing operation." He repeated his assertion from a day earlier that the US doesn’t "want to see hospitals attacked from the air" or to "see innocent civilians, patients, medical staff become victims of crossfire between Hamas and Israeli Defense Forces." edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-15-23 |

WOW somebody post update on that Hospital raid "Explosions are shaking the buildings" after rocket fire near hospital, reporter inside Al-Shifa says From CNN's Andrew Carey A reporter inside Gaza's largest hospital complex said intense fighting outside the facility occurred Wednesday as Israel launched a raid at Al-Shifa hospital. “Explosions are shaking the buildings of Al-Shifa Hospital … which is besieged from all four directions, following the launching of rocket and artillery shells in the vicinity of the hospital,” Khader Al-Za’anoun a reporter for the Palestinian news agency Wafa, said in a text message to CNN. Israeli forces have “invaded the hospital with large numbers of soldiers and military vehicles, including tanks, armored vehicles, troop carriers, and bulldozers" and were preventing anyone from leaving, Al Za’anoun said. Israel has claimed Hamas militants have set up a command center at Al-Shifa, an allegation denied by Hamas and hospital officials. CNN cannot verify either side's claims. Hamas said Al-Shifa is now under the control of Israeli forces. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-15-23 |

AH good doctor are you sure there was no weapons IN THERE LOL! Israeli forces 'destroyed' expensive equipment at Al-Shifa Hospital, head of surgery tells DW Marwan Abu Sada, the head of surgery at Al-Shifa, told DW, Israeli forces destroyed equipment during their raid on the hospital. Israeli troops entered Gaza's biggest hospital early on Wednesday in what the military says was a "targeted" operation against Hamas militants. Describing the department after the departure of the Israeli forces, Abu Sada said they destroyed "the whole x-ray department," including a "very expensive CT scan machine" and an MRI machine. "I think the CT scan [machine] was exploded because the wall is damaged, the wall of the building where the CT scan is allocated is damaged. I think they did some sort of explosion and so on. And other places there [is] destruction, normal destruction, how to [destroy] this equipment [would be] by hitting, by shooting, by anything." www.dw.com/en/israel-gaza-live-updates-november-15/live-67402983 |

But of course DUH! UN Security Council to vote on resolution calling for series of humanitarian pauses in Gaza From CNN's Becky Anderson and Sahar Akbarzai The United Nations Security Council will vote on a resolution on Wednesday afternoon calling for a series of humanitarian pauses in Gaza, a diplomat briefed on the matter said. The draft resolution calls for “for urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and corridors throughout the Gaza Strip for a sufficient number of days to enable, consistent with international humanitarian law, the full, rapid, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access for United Nations humanitarian agencies and their implementing partners.” It also advocates for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held in Gaza by Hamas, especially children. The resolution was drafted by Malta and has the support of the 22-member Arab Group, including the United Arab Emirates, which is an elected member of the UNSC, the diplomat told CNN. The vote is expected to happen around 3 p.m. ET Wednesday and is likely to pass, the diplomat said. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-15-23 |

OH CNN Honey we knew that they using comannd area Israel has claimed the hospital includes a Hamas command center, an allegation denied by hospital officials and Hamas. CNN cannot verify either side's claims. Hundreds of patients and staff remain inside Al-Shifa, according to hospital officials. The operation comes amid Israel's escalating ground offensive in Gaza, aimed at destroying Hamas. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant claimed on Tuesday that Hamas had "lost control" in northern Gaza, including in Gaza City. A truck delivered fuel from Egypt to a UN agency in Gaza Wednesday to be used only for transporting aid from Rafah, the organization said, adding that the fuel can't be used by hospitals or for water due to Israeli restrictions. It’s the first truck to carry fuel into the Gaza Strip since Hamas' October 7 attacks on Israel — but the UN has warned much more is needed to sustain humanitarian effort edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-15-23 |

Was it accident? if was not IDF that not cool dude “I’m an American citizen. And they shot me": 17-year-old American tells CNN what it's like to be stuck in Gaza “I’m an American citizen. And they shot me.” From a dark room in Gaza’s Al Quds Hospital, Farah Abuolba speaks matter of factly into the camera. For more than a week, the teenager has been languishing without hope that she, her mother, and her sister will ever escape the nightmare they have entered. On November 3, as she and her family tried to reach the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, the bus she was traveling in along Gaza’s coastal road came under what she believes was Israeli attack, with a blast that severed half her left hand. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has denied that it struck that street on November 3. “I felt all my blood, all my blood dripped all over me,” Abuolba recalled tearfully the day after the incident, as the sound of explosions ricocheted in the background. “How I felt when I saw my hand falling, or how I felt my skin just – and my bones breaking. And how I saw my wrist just turn blue. I knew that my hand was gone.” That was her third attempt to evacuate from Gaza, where Israel has conducted thousands of airstrikes since October 7. But without being able to reach the Rafah crossing in southern Gaza, through which some foreign nationals have been permitted to exit into Egypt, Abuolba remains stuck in the battered Palestinian territory. Approximately 400 American citizens plus their family members — about 1,000 people total — are stuck in Gaza and are seeking to leave, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on November 1. The number has changed little since, according to the latest from the State Department.

AH who fault is that I take Hamas for 100 Alex LOL! Head of UN relief agency in Gaza says 70% of Gazans won't have access to clean water by end of Wednesday The main United Nations relief agency operating in Gaza warned on Wednesday that its "entire operation is now on the verge of collapse." The head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA), Philippe Lazzarini, warned "by the end of today, around 70% of the population in Gaza won't have access to clean water," in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. UNRWA is sheltering some 780,000 people in more than 150 overcrowded facilities even as basic services have crumbled. Yesterday, the agency said a total of 102 aid workers with UNRWA had been killed and 27 others wounded in Gaza since Israel’s war with Hamas began. "To have fuel for trucks only will not save lives anymore. Waiting longer will cost lives," Lazzarini added. Echoing Lazzarini's calls, the UN's emergency relief chief, Martin Griffiths, said the "carnage" in Gaza "cannot be allowed to continue."

I know this doctor this dude talking crap on Al Jazeeza last night Neonatal babies at Al-Shifa are in "severe danger," director general of Gaza hospitals says From CNN’s Mostafa Salem in Abu Dhabi Neonatal babies in Gaza's largest hospital are in "severe danger" as conditions in the medical facility further deteriorate, the director general of Gaza hospitals told Al Jazeera. “On evacuating the (Al-Shifa) hospital … we have said numerous times there is no place to move 40 incubators outside the hospital,” Mohammad Zaqout said. CNN could not independently confirm his assessment of the situation. But earlier this week, pictures released by the hospital showed newborn babies taken off incubators and placed next to each other on one bed due to power shortages amid Israel's bombardment and blockade in Gaza. “We are in dire need of a field hospital (in Gaza City),” Zaqout told Al Jazeera. The Egyptian health ministry is trying to coordinate the transfer of 36 neonatal babies with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, Egyptian Health Minister Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar told CNN on Tuesday. He said Egypt has ambulances equipped with portable ventilators waiting on the border to receive the babies to be moved immediately to hospitals. But Zaqout said “the mechanism (to transfer patients to Egypt) is extremely slow," claiming that "the transfer patient lists are getting rejected (by Israel)."

They are hopeful they could find the hostages REMEMBER THEM IDF continues Gaza hospital raid, Biden 'hopeful' about hostage release, Netanyahu urged to quit Israeli raid on Gaza's largest hospital continues The Israeli army is continuing its assault on the al-Shifa hospital in northern Gaza, where it claims to have found materials pointing to the fate of hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th. An Israeli army official said on Thursday that "images relating to hostages" captured during the Hamas attack on Israel had been found on computers seized during the army's intervention in Gaza's al-Shifa hospital. The images were found on equipment "belonging to Hamas", the official said in a statement. "Soldiers are searching every floor, building by building, while hundreds of patients and medical staff are still in the complex," the same source said. Biden 'mildly hopeful' about Hamas hostage release The US President says he is "mildly hopeful" there will be a deal to free the more than 200 people being held hostage in Gaza. "I don't want to get ahead of myself because I don't know what happened in the last four hours, but we have had great cooperation from the Qataris," said Joe Biden, following a meeting with his Chinese counterpart on Wednesday. Qatar has been leading ongoing negotiations between Israel and Hamas. A hostage gave birth in captivity in the Gaza Strip, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday. The war was sparked by Hamas' attack on southern Israel on 7 October, unprecedented since the state's creation in 1948.

Question where Gaza communication networks collapse, provider says Communication networks in the Gaza Strip have collapsed, according to the main Palestinian provider. The Palestinian telecommunications company Paltel, which is based in the occupied West Bank, said in a social media post that Gaza was going through an outage due to a lack of fuel for power generators. The UK-based Netblocks, which tracks internet outages, confirmed the outage on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, had warned earlier this week of a looming total telecommunications blackout, as had Paltel. Communications networks in the Palestinian enclave have failed several times since the start of the war between Israel and the Hamas militant Islamist group, which is classified as a terrorist organization by the US, the EU Germany and several other countries.medicine Hamas HELLO IDF says information 'pertaining to hostages' found at Gaza hospital The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Thursday that troops were combing through each floor of each building at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza in an ongoing search for Hamas command centers it claims are based in the complex. An unnamed IDF official told news agencies that information and footage "pertaining to the hostages abducted from Israel" by Hamas was found on "computers and other technological equipment," at al-Shifa, without elaborating further. Troops had already found weapons, "intelligence materials" related to the October 7 Hamas terror attacks and "command and control centers," the official said. "The operation is shaped by our understanding that there is well-hidden terrorist infrastructure in the complex," the IDF official said. "Hamas has persistently worked to conceal infrastructure and cover up evidence," the official said, adding that the search is being carried out "in a discrete, methodical and thorough manner, based on ongoing field assessments and informed by questioning taking place in the field." Hamas has denied operating out of medical facilities.The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza has said the Israeli operation has destroyed medical services in the hospital. Hamas is considered to be a terror organization by the US, the EU and other states. UNRWA chief warns of 'deliberate attempt' to paralyze Gaza operations The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini, said he believed there was a "deliberate attempt" to paralyze the operation of his agency. "I do believe there is a deliberate attempt to strangle our operation and paralyze the operation," Lazzarini told a press conference in Geneva, calling it "outrageous" to force humanitarian aid to beg for fuel. He said his agency was at risk of suspending its humanitarian operations entirely due to lack of fuel. "Gaza is again in a total communication blackout, and... it is because there is no fuel," Lazzarini added. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-live-disease-inevitable-in-gaza-un/live-67412793#:~:text=The%20UN%27s%20human%20rights%20chief%20says,political%20chief%C2%A0Ismail%20Haniyeh%20in%20Gaza |

"We are close to dismantling the military system in the northern Gaza Strip. As far as we are concerned — we will continue to other areas," the German DPA news agency quoted him as saying. Halevi added that the Hamas militant group must be "systematically" eliminated, and its infrastructure destroyed.

NO KIDDING! Jews 'don't feel safe' in Germany, Israeli ambassador says Commenting on a recent wave of antisemitism in Germany, Ron Prosor, Israel's ambassador to Germany, told DW that even before the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, Jewish synagogues and schools needed to be protected, unlike churches or mosques. "There's a lot of antisemitic actions taking place and [it] has no connection with the 7th of October," the ambassador said. He added that he was surprised by the increasing number of antisemitic acts in Germany after Hamas' attacks on Israel. "The fact is that Jews here in Germany... don't feel safe going to the S-Bahn or talking in Hebrew or putting a kippah," said Prosor, using another word for yarmulke. Prosor also commented on the Israeli military's ongoing offensive in Gaza, saying the military is working there "slowly and cautiously." "We are now moving over to the southern part of Gaza, because we have basically completed the issue in the northern part of Gaza," he said. He added that Gazans who go to places that Israel defines as safe havens are "going to be safe inside."

Well dude released the hostages Hamas has demanded Israel stop flying surveillance drones over Gaza in hostage negotiations, sources say From CNN's Alex Marquardt, Kaitlan Collins, MJ Lee and Oren Liebermann Hamas has demanded that Israel stop flying surveillance drones over Gaza as part of its request that Israel pause its military operations in exchange for freeing hostages held by the terrorist group, according to two Israeli officials and third source familiar with the ongoing negotiations. While Israel could pause its military operations for as long as several days to allow for scores of hostages to be released, the sources suggested it is unlikely to accept the drone request since it would mean losing track of the movements of Hamas operatives, including any efforts to move the hostages within the Gaza strip. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-17-23 |

Wait till CNN badmouth this 3 2 1 Israel will allow 2 fuel tankers a day into Gaza to support water and sewage systems, official says From CNN's Tamar Michaelis and Lauren Kent Israel's war cabinet approved a measure on Friday allowing two fuel tankers a day to enter Gaza for water and sewage system support, according to Israel's national security adviser.
