@jon-nyc said in Hamas attacks Israel:
Alas, maybe too good to be true. USAid does send birth control to certain areas but none to Gaza.
That can't be right, she said she was only going to tell the truth.

From the link in Jon's tweet.
The Fox pundit Jesse Watters even claimed that the condoms were being used by Hamas militants as balloons to float explosives into Israel.
A review of the available evidence, however, suggests that the claim is almost certainly not true.
"Even."
Did the author of that article do any research, like searching out the tweets I posted, from years ago?
A search of "hamas condoms bombs" dated from Jan 2016 to Jan 2024 (before the current kerfuffle) shows at least a dozen links confirming it:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hamas+condoms+bombs&t=osx&df=2016-01-28..2024-01-29&ia=web
Now, one can dispute where the funds went, and I, for one, have no problem believing that aid money was appropriately used by Hamas, but at least do some research. From I posted, the condoms as balloons story seems accurate. As to funds, I'l trust Hamas.
As Dan Evon of the non-profit News Literacy Project points out: “It’s also worth noting that this is not a Biden program. Trump, too, spent funds on sending contraceptives around the globe. In 2019, about $40m was spent on contraceptives by the Trump administration”.
Think that'll happen again?

Somewhere I suspect the Arab world would be screaming but secretly happy if we went all medieval on Gaza.

White progressive Westerners are the roadblock. They are the ones who demand either impossible solutions, or permanent, bloody, murderous conflict. So, permanent, bloody, murderous conflict it'll be. Because virtue.

I think he’s talking about Donald Trump. Trump has been trending lately on Twitter. Everybody gets their 15 minutes.

Well, Trump can pre-emptively bomb Yemen (and I totally support the US action this last weekend) to stop further attacks on international shipping.
Hamas refuse to release the hostages taken in 2023 or change in their quest to obliterate Israel, so I would ask what's the point of any Gazan ceasefire? Pussyfooting around doesn't help the remaining hostages.

Each ceasefire has yielded hostages. This last one included.

True. I ought to have said continuing the current ceasefire.
Time to again selectively target and bomb the Palestinian terrorists; and flood the area with troops.Has anyone news of the terrorist tunnel network?
