The Great Book Robbery and looting during the Nakba ... Does that remind you of German acts in WW2?
www.aljazeera.com
About 30,000 of these books were stolen from private homes in mostly affluent Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem; others from cities such as Jaffa, Nazareth and Haifa. Many were either recycled into paper (because they “incited” against the nascent Israeli state) or taken to the National Library, where some 6,000 remain with the letters AP – for “abandoned property” – labeled on their spines.
Prominent Israeli historian Ilan Pappé, who is featured throughout the documentary, identifies two sets of book robbers during this period: individuals acting alone who took their newly acquired possessions home, and collective or formal looters acting on behalf of the state who took the books to the National Libra
Israel’s ‘Great Book Robbery’
Documentary sheds light on large-scale pillaging of books from Palestinian homes in 1948, when Israel was founded.

Here is why they think this Shifa Hospital is a command center because Israelis built a bunker under the Hospital in 1983... a tunnels too...

“Back in 1983, when Israel still ruled Gaza, they built a secure underground operating room and tunnel network beneath al-Shifa hospital – which is one among several reasons why Israeli security sources are so sure that there is a main Hamas command bunker in or around the large cement basement beneath the area of ...

True. Multiple sources have corroborated that a bunker or basement was built at Israel's discretion in the 1980s.

The Israeli evidence is underwhelming about this hospital being used as a command center. A score of weapons does not justify the blowing up of the water pipelines, infants in foil, and people dying because of lack of energy...
Here is the Children's Hospital the Israelis claim to be a Hamas command center and again underwhelming evidence...

It seems Israel is having the same problem we had in Iraq. WE found no mass weapons of destruction and Israel is not finding Hostipal command centers...

Chartbook 251... Israel wanted to keep Gaza a slum and our government knew this before the war... Israel has a war chest and can keep this war going for a long time... Their economy is suffering during the war but is an afterthought until it affects the war effort... The economy has issues with what to do with the Orthodox Jews and their drain on the economy. Orthodox Jews do not believe in Zionism...
Chartbook was a great economic history of Israel and its plans to support their no two-state solution and the makings of an apartheid state.

Israeli bombardments damage more than half of Gaza's housing units. About 40,000 housing units in the besieged enclave were completely destroyed by the Israeli army, Gaza officials say. Israeli bombardments have caused damage to more than 50 percent of housing units across Gaza, according to local officials.Nov 10, 2023
A new analysis by two United States-based researchers, Jamon Van Den Hoek and Corey Scher, and Al Jazeera’s AJ Labs unit showed that overall at least 16 percent of all buildings in the Gaza Strip have been destroyed. In Gaza City alone, the building destruction reached at least 28 percent.

Here is insight from Mark Twain... 1887...
www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org
On the Jews
"If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one-quarter of one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk.
His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also very out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world in all ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself and be excused for it. The Egyptians, the Babylonians, and the Persians rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream stuff and passed away; the Greeks and Romans followed and made a vast noise, and they were gone; other people have sprung up, and held their torch high for a time but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, and have vanished.
The Jew saw them all, survived them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities, of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert but aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jews; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality? "- September 1897

Humanitarian Pause in Gaza | Press Release | U.S. Agency for International Development
The United States welcomes the pause in hostilities in Gaza as an opportunity to ramp up the safe delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians in grave need and facilitate the release of hostages captured by Hamas after 48 harrowing days of captivity.
The conflict has had a devastating toll on humanitarian workers, with more than 100 staff from the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) killed –the highest number of deaths of UN workers of any conflict in history.

Here are the first shots fired over the refugee crisis in GAZA. Everyone knows Israel has made GAZA unlivable so the Palestinians will be shipped around the world. The Israelis will not technically have cleansed GAZA of Palestinians because the Palestinians will have been given a choice...

Jim Crow is alive and well in Israel
Long before Israel erected separate communities, the United States perfected the art of the artificial divide.
