Israel-Palestine escalation live: Strikes hit Gaza after Hamas offensive
AlJazeera ^ | By Umut Uras, Mersiha Gadzo, Maram Humaid and Priyanka Shankar

Palestinian fighters say they have captured Israelis after crossing into Israel from the Gaza Strip in a large-scale attack.

Hamas, the group running the besieged enclave, said its surprise operation was in response to the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque and increased settler violence.

Israel has launched air raids on Gaza, where witnesses reported heavy explosions, after Hamas fired thousands of rockets and sent fighters into Israel.

The operation comes after thousands of settlers in recent days carried out provocative tours of the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

It also follows a major uptick of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians over the past year, occurring at a rate of three per day for the first eight months of 2023, according to the United Nations.

Mainstream media will only report it when Israel retaliates. And then they will compare it to genocide. It’s become so easy to predict what the Nazis in the MSM will do.

This was totally planned by the Hamas in response to Saudi Arabia’s talks with Israel, and at the behest of Iran. They want a heavy handed response by Israel, and that is what they will have. They want Saudi financial support to continue, and Iran wants Saudi guarantees of Palestinian support against Israel so that they will not become allies against them.

What the heck would an American speaker or general do? I suppose the answer is send in US military aid. The correct American response is to condemn the violence and bring this matter up in the UN Security Council. The only thing an American speaker or general should be concerned about now is disengaging us from the nuclear war razor’s edge CF we have been bumbled into in Ukraine.

Consider where this article comes from: Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera tries to present itself as a sophisticated and modern news source. But at its core, it’s just an Islamist propaganda outfit.

Coming to a city near us very soon. This is the beginning of China getting involved as well and attacking Taiwan. They see an open door with this piece of shit dementia asshole in the White House and his anti-America anti-Israel evil administration. It is being reported that Hamas was already inside Israel. I guess open borders. I am going to say this and it’s not popular to say it, but our open borders are letting in the most evil horrible terrorist, and the Chinese infiltrators who are already here in our soil have gotten their marching orders. As many have said, be prepared it’s coming to our cities extremely soon. Keep an eye out for China to invade Taiwan very soon. They’re reporting that Russia is behind this coordinated war against Israel with hamas. When you hear about rumors of wars, pestilence, etc. look up for the redemption draws nigh.

We are considering aljazeera.com a balanced voice? Or we are just highlighting their propaganda for informational purposes?

What a disgrace, enabled by Biden and his handlers. Will this finally awaken American Jews or will they just write off attacks on Israeli jews. This after Israel gives medical care, aid & jobs to Palastinians.

A Palistinian TET offensive. Good opportunity to wipe them out.

From Jerusalem Post:

Labor Party leader Merav Michaeli wrote on X: "Today is Netanyahu's Yom Kippur - a terrible and shameful failure, and a tough morning. To start Saturday and the holiday morning, children run to the stairwell with terrible reports about what is happening in the southern settlements."

Sounds like some crass statement Schumer would make …
