In reply to Corinne.

I was reading about the protests in Israel against Netanyahu
they are nearly round the clock, daily and when there is no one around there’s all manner of signs hanging everywhere (on posts etc.,)
Similar to the Al Jazeera article

H Penny. Thanks for raising the questions. I’m finding some hope in numerous reports from Aljazeera:

“Why are thousands protesting against Netanyahu’s government in Israel?”
Israeli citizens have taken to the streets, calling for a Gaza ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives.

“No more war, no more bloodshed”

It’s taken some time for Israelis to realize what an evil leader they elected, but let’s hope they keep up the momentum.

In reply to Mark.

“We are in no position to determine whether there has actually been a real “withholding of weapons” or how crucial any of those weapons might be.”

You’re correct on that Mark! All we can do is follow what is being reported and wonder if the reporting is accurate and/or what reason these things are being reported. It sucks.

“It may be all talk to make the US appear to have some small shred of humanitarian concern in their foreign policy and allow Netanyahu to blather on bravely about “going it alone…….”

Yup, there’s one reason. It could be being done so if the war crimes are made, or if Netanyahu is tossed the US is giving itself some kind of out (in a pr fashion)

“The delay of the war crimes report is standard operating procedure when faced with bad news.”

I see some early spin emerging on the report out of BBC and also take note that what is hitting the news cycle is coming out on a Friday night (easier to ignore) and is out of context.

“The only good news might be that I believe that the rabid Israeli politicians appear to be having problems finding enough of the IDF willing to actually go into Raffa and engage Hamas in house to house (or rather ruin to ruin) fighting.”

That’s going to be tough fighting for sure.

Both measures are being used to appear to influence the Israeli governments plans in Gaza. but there is no ‘good’ way to pulverize Raffa, the US has no mitigating plan that could ease the pain. Only cancellation of the plan could be significant.
The only good news might be that I believe that the rabid Israeli politicians appear to be having problems finding enough of the IDF willing to actually go into Raffa and engage Hamas in house to house (or rather ruin to ruin) fighting. The IDF took serious losses in Gaza City and Khan Younis before their withdrawal and do not wish to repeat that scenario in Raffa. Only the Air Force and artillery men remain brave.
