I read a ton of shit all day long. Seriously, I do. In order for me to post the closest articles I can find to truth and factually based, believe it or not, takes a ton of work. That said, because I read a ton of shit everyday, there are lots of nuggets of information that help fill-in the picture on any given story. Those nuggets of information tend to be found in social media. Since I’m reading them, and they are of help to me to better understand stories of this magnitude – Israeli – Gaza WAR – I am sharing them with you for the duration. Feel free to let me know what you think. T-Room readers know how to find my email. Drop me a line. Hoping this format, which I will continue to hone, works for you. Suggestions are always, always welcome…

Update on Israeli Hostages Held by Hamas in Gaza
The IDF publishes new data on the abducted and missing:
The IDF allows the publication that out of about 200 abductees for whom there is information about their presence in the territory of the Gaza Strip –
A couple dozen (less than 30) are children up to the age of 18.
About 10-20 of them are elderly people aged 60+.
Most of the abductees are alive, but there are also bodies that were abducted to Gaza.
In addition, there are another 100-200 Israelis who are defined as missing, and there is no information on their whereabouts. This is compared to about 3,000 people who were declared missing on the first day of the war, and since then their number has been greatly reduced when certain information about their whereabouts has arrived (they were found alive, found dead, or known to have been kidnapped).
The IDF emphasizes that there are quite a few complexities that make it difficult to locate information regarding the missing. Among other things, many bodies that are in Shura camp have not yet been identified, bodies that have not yet been collected from the area, and the army is still conducting ground raids in the area of the fence with the aim of collecting more bodies.
The IDF emphasizes that they adhere to the principle of complete transparency with the families, and pass on to them any information they have about their loved ones. There are many teams that are in daily contact with the families of the abductees, but teams have not yet arrived for all the families of the missing, and there is an effort to do so in the next day.

“The deaths of women and children in Gaza are the fault of Hamas, not Israel, just like the deaths in Japan during World War 2 were the fault of Japan, not America. When a government engages in unprovoked, murderous aggression, they are to blame for everything that results.” – https://t.me/CharlieKirk/12500
Let’s take this statement and turn it around – The deaths of women and children in the Donbas are the fault of Russia, not Ukraine, just like the deaths in Germany during WW 2 were the fault of Germany, not Russia or America.
That’s like saying all of the cities centers attacked during the BLM riots was the fault of those cities.
I can’t speak for you but I didn’t support war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia just to name a few and I’m damned sure not going to be blamed for those decisions when I didn’t have a seat at the table! And I damned sure had no say whatsoever in the BLM riots.
Nonsense.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he’s ordered fighter jets armed with hypersonic missiles to begin round-the-clock patrols over the Black Sea, ratcheting up tensions with the US amid the war in Ukraine and the spiraling crisis in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas.
“This is not a threat, but we will exercise visual control — control with weapons — over what is happening in the Mediterranean Sea,” Putin said. The US has moved two aviation groups into the Mediterranean in response to the Israel-Hamas war, and its recent delivery of ATACMS long-range missiles to Ukraine showed Washington was getting more deeply involved in the conflict there, he said.

The U.S. military thwarted an attack targeting its forces in Iraq early on Wednesday, intercepting two drones before they could strike, two U.S. officials said after the first such attack on U.S. forces in Iraq in more than a year.
The officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, declined to say who was suspected of the attack but Washington is on heightened alert for activity by Iran-backed groups amid soaring tension in the region over the Israel-Hamas war.

◾We call it something else: unfolding genocide:
– As Jews, we condemn what Israel is doing in Gaza. Any mass slaughter will not just be on Israel’s hands, but on the hands of America.
◾There is no other word to describe the pageantry of death embraced by Israel’s politicians. Under international law, genocide requires two things: an “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,” and then the attempted destruction of that group. Without intent, these actions amount to ethnic cleansing. If deliberate, they are considered genocide.
◾It is now impossible for US politicians to ignore the slaughter in Gaza: more than 3,500 Palestinians have been killed in the 12-day barrage, including the 500 reportedly killed Tuesday at Al-Ahli Arabi Baptist hospital. Some 50 entire families have been wiped out.

A few days before the attack on the Ahli hospital in Gaza, the Israeli army struck the same hospital with shells, and notified the Hospital leader that this was a warning, before destroying the Hospital.
It is important to note that the areas around Hospital in Gaza are used as refuge by homeless or scared civilians, because it is a war crime to attack hospital during wars. Thus many people camped on the Parking lots of the Hospital to be safe at night, and many of those who were killed and injured by the blast were not inside the Hospital during the attack.
The international community immediately pointed the finger at Israel for the attack because of the power of the blast at the Hospital, which was reportedly full of Palestinians injured by previous Israeli airstrikes.
Also the Israeli spokesperson for Prime Minister Netanyahu, Hananya Naftali, took responsibility for the attack via the tweet: “Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas terrorist base inside a hospital in Gaza. A Multiple number of terrorists are dead.”
The tweet was later deleted, when the IDF accuses Hamas of having hit the Hospital.
The IDF stated that a large crater would have been created at the site of an Air strike.
Israel provided a video of the arrival of a JDAM bomb, but the video shows a hit on an open area.
Here are the JDAM bombs delivered by the US to Israel back on the 12-10-2023 https://twitter.com/ArthurM40330824/status/1712486522086478053
However an Analysis by the Military Chronicle claim that the death toll from the Gaza hospital could not have been caused by a typical Palestinian rocket, but the explosion could have been a JDAM bomb set up for air burst that left no crater while causing damage to all civilians within a wide area from the blast. https://t.me/Slavyangrad/69125
You can see a video cavalcade of both the strikes of a Hamas Rockets and the strikes of JDAM bombs used by the Israeli air force. Both compared to the strike on the Hospital:

What is a JDAM bomb:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Direct_Attack_Munition
The American produced JDAM bomb with GPS guidance (which the IDF uses) can be programmed for both contact detonation and airburst detonation. The version MK 82, MK 83 and MK 84 JDAM can be delivered with GPS guidance, and thus can be used for airburst attack.
The GBU-32/Mk 82 version has the function of air blasting, and produces a dense fragmentation field over an area of 2.4 thousand square meters.
The improved PFB-82 version increase the affected up to 19 thousand square meters.
Detonating a JDAM bomb in the air above the target, will cause a major blast wave shattering all glass in the vicinity and create a storm of fragment both from the bomb and all the fragments dispersed by the blast and cause multiple deaths and injuries on the ground. The maximum speed of the fragments from the explosion of the bomb is 2440 m/s.
Any Hospital has oxygen at storage and such storage will fracture when bombed, and nurture the following fire from the explosion into a firestorm.
However the Hospital would still be standing after the blast, as it is constructed by steel reinforced concrete.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 471 people died as a result of the attack.
If a JDAM airburst bomb was used, debris from the bomb, and marked parts of the Bomb, may be found on the roofs and in the courtyards of houses adjacent to the hospital.
Hamas have said that it will publish evidence of Israeli involvement in the attack on the hospital, and present it to international bodies.
The rockets produced by Hamas are not equipped with sensors for air detonation, as the Palestinian military-does not have access to such technology.
Israel has been flattening buildings in Gaza with a single 1000 lb guided JDAM bomb.
The Hamas rockets can only carry a warhead on the size of 42 lb.
Besides, No debris of a Hamas rocket was found at the site, or an impact of such a missile.
The next day the Israeli Air Force attacked targets 100 meters from the Al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip. This hospital also has a tent camp with Palestinian refugees on its territory.
Russia has demanded that Israel provide satellite images to prove that it was not involved in the attack on a hospital in Gaza. The Russian Federation classifies the attack as a war crime.
Israel claimed it would present evidence to the UN Security Council yesterday of its non-involvement in the attack on the hospital in Gaza, However the US Vetoed the UN Resolution before any credible evidence were presented.

From b’s article, according to the Financial Times “Israel’s vow to hit back against Gaza has undone months of work to paint Moscow as a global pariah for breaching international law” …
Here’s a case in point:
According to the UN Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), as of September 11, 2023, the OHCHR has recorded 9,614 civilian deaths in the Ukraine conflict since February 24, 2022.
Of those, it was “7,481 killed [..] in territory controlled by the Government when casualties occurred” and “2,133 killed [..] in territory occupied by the Russian Federation when casualties occurred.”
https://www.ohchr.org/en/news/2023/09/ukraine-civilian-casualty-update-11-september-2023
So in 564 days (18 1/2 months) of fighting in the Ukraine conflict, 7,481 civilian deaths could be attributed to Russia (leaving aside the fact that Ukrainian military and neo-nazi paramilitaries seem to have often positioned themselves in apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, malls, etc. and probably often used Russian-speaking Ukrainian civilians as human shields.)
Going by the last available update of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA):
In 11 days of fighting, the number of Palestinian civilian deaths was at 3,000. (Note: this is before the hospital airstrike that is said to have resulted in 500+ deaths.)
https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-flash-update-11
So the Israeli military operation has resulted in the deaths of 272 opposite-side civilians per day on average.
In contrast, the Russian special military operation has resulted in the deaths of 13 opposite-side civilians per day on average.
So the Israeli military operation is causing over 20 times more civilian deaths per day than the Russian special military operation.
Two take-aways from this:
The Russians have been careful about trying to avoid Ukrainian civilian casualties during their special military operation.
The Israelis have not cared much about avoiding Palestinian civilian casualties during their military operation, and they have even stated the following:
“Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, a spokesman for the Israeli military, has said that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy,” while an unnamed Israeli official told local media that Gaza would be reduced to a “city of tents” by the end of the campaign.”
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/10/11/israel-abandon-precision-bombing-eliminate-hamas-officials/
If Israel is allowed to continue at this rate then in perhaps just another 2 weeks from now the number of Palestinian civilian casualties will already match the total number of Ukrainian civilian casualties in Kiev-controlled regions from a full year and a half of the Russian special military operation.
So why does Western “news” media always add words like “brutal” when referring to the Russian operations, but always withholds them when referring to the far, far more brutal and murderous Israeli campaign?
Similarly, why does our craven Western “news” media still insist on portraying the Netanyahu regime as somehow more benevolent than the Putin government? Where is the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity?
