Troops were searching the complex where the military said it believes the remains of hostages abducted by Hamas might be located.

Netanyahu says that he will not allow "international dictates regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians." But he sure as shit will keep accepting that international funding to keep up with his genocidal campaign. When the fuck will Biden finally come to his senses and stop all fucking funding for this disgraceful asshat.

Never. And moderates will never allow anyone to the left of Biden to make it through the primaries.

Just walk into a hospital, shoot people, pull the power plug and kill patients on the ICU too!

Biden will say this is not a war crime and try to send them more money.

All in the name of “self defense” right?

When the -peep- are the world presidents going to do something?

I found your comment very confusing. It's a beep, not a peep when fuck is censored on TV. It's ok to say fuck if that's what you mean.

I think they meant "heck", not "fuck"

Almo heard is "I think they meant --peep-- not --beep--".

Israel is getting starlink in their field hospitals.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Five patients in intensive care died after their oxygen was cut off in southern Gaza's main hospital that was stormed by Israeli troops, causing chaos for hundreds of staff and wounded inside, health officials said Friday.

The raid came after troops had besieged Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis for nearly a week, with staff, patients and others inside struggling under heavy fire and dwindling supplies, including food and water.

Also Friday, an assailant opened fire at a bus stop on a busy intersection in southern Israel, killing two people and wounding four before being shot dead by a bystander.

Negotiations over a cease-fire in Gaza, meanwhile, appear to have stalled, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday pushed back hard against the U.S. vision for after the war — particularly its calls for the creation of a Palestinian state.

In their phone call, Biden again cautioned Netanyahu against moving forward with a military operation in Rafah before coming up with a "credible and executable plan" to ensure the safety of Palestinian civilians, the White House said.

Hamas in a statement Friday denied that its fighters were using Nasser Hospital for military purposes, calling the accusations "lies circulated to justify the war crime."
