Israel action - analyzed by international law expert Download YouTube 2023-10-30 (#062) < Previous Next > Natasha Hausdorff, UK Lawyers for Israel Charitable Trust Legal Director, is asked whether, as suggested by the BBC, Israel is punishing the Palestinians for the actions of Hamas and whether this is a commonly held view in the mainstream media in the UK. Natasha replies that the narrative of Israel committing war crimes or punishing ordinary Palestinians took hold along with blatant misrepresentations of international law. International lawyers and military experts therefore need to explain the realities of the situation and the law that applies. Israel's obligations in terms of provision of humanitarian aid: since 2007, Israel has supplied water, electricity, food and other humanitarian aid via the Kerem Shalom crossing from Israel into Gaza despite Hamas' attempts to destroy Israeli infrastructure that supports those operations and its genocidal initiatives against the Jewish population. The Israeli support has stopped since the war broke out, and there is no international legal obligation for Israel to provide any supplies to Hamas. In fact Israel has no obligation to provide humanitarian aid at all. Israel's only obligation is to facilitate the provision of humanitarian aid by third parties, while ensuring that this aid will not be diverted to Hamas, which is impossible to guarantee but Israel is facilitating humanitarian aid nonetheless, and Hamas is continuing to exploit international aid for terrorism. The International Criminal Court, claiming to be independent and unbiased, is investigating Israel for alleged war crimes. One shameful incident happened when the prosecutor of the ICC travelled to the Rafah Crossing and tried to draw a moral equivalence to the atrocities of October 7th, which he called alleged war crimes, and the so-called Israeli war crimes, thus following a consistent practice of attributing an evil intent to Israel for which there is no evidence. Similar shameful statements emerged from the U.N. Secretary General, who tried to rationalize the attack. Video Transcription: Coming soon

Their charter declares that their goal is the genocide of all #Jews and the annihilation of the state of Israel, - Israel was dragged to war by the brutal #atrocities of #Hamas, - The absurd is that Israel needs to defend itself against preposterous allegations of genocide in the International Court of Justice (#icj) Now is the time for the ICJ to redirect its attention towards the actual war criminals – Hamas, Iran, and all their other partners.

The Gaza war in 8 minutes (Hillary Clinton) Download YouTube 2023-11-09 (#098) < Previous Next > All you need to know about the Gaza war in 8 minutes (Hillary Clinton) Video Transcription: But remember, there was a ceasefire on October 6 that Hamas broke by their barbaric assault on peaceful civilians and their kidnapping. They're killing, they're beheading, their terrible, inhumane savagery. There was a ceasefire. It did not hold because Hamas chose to break it. So you have to keep several things in your head at the same time. And that is, number one. Hamas is a terrorist organization. It has made very clear it is committed to the elimination of the State of Israel, and it has consistently broken ceasefires over a number of years. Israel has a right to defend itself, as any country would. Ukraine has a right to defend itself against an invasion, an unlawful, inhumane invasion by Russia. And Israel should conduct itself by the laws of war and do everything it can to prevent and limit civilian casualties. Those three things are all true themselves. And so when I said a couple of weeks ago that it wasn't time for a ceasefire because it would enable Hamas to rearm and reposition, because I've been to Gaza, and Gaza is a highly populated urban environment, and what has been going on now for a number of years under Hamas rule, is the building of over 200 miles of tunnels under Gaza, the storing of munitions, all kinds of explosives under hospitals, under refugee camps, under civilian targets, the use of civilians as really just tools of war by Hamas. That has all been going on. And so when I said you could not have a ceased fire, people didn't understand that Hamas would use it for their own purposes. I think we're now moving toward a position where the idea of these humanitarian pauses that the Biden administration has been promoting are now, I think, on the table and should be. And what would that mean? Well, first of all, let's remember over 240 innocent people, not just Israelis, people from other countries. The second biggest number of people taken by Hamas are workers from Thailand who were working in agriculture. So this is a multinational hostage situation. A humanitarian pause would enable two things to happen if Hamas would agree, and that is let the hostages go. These are innocent civilian people. They should not be held as captives to Hamas and let in more humanitarian aid that actually gets where it's intended, not into the hands of Hamas. So if we work on all of that, I think it's possible, given where the current situation is, because the Israelis are now in Gaza with ground troops, they have cut off the north from the south. They have surrounded Gaza City, which is the central command structure of the Hamas militants. So I think now would be a good time to consider doing that. But a ceasefire done prematurely benefits those who do not abide by any laws, by any rules, by any human character value, about the value of life. So it was much too premature. Now, I think the pauses should be considered. Right. Well, let me ask you this, because the ceasefire option, or at least the humanitarian pauses, is a very popular concept, not only in this country but around the world, because we're seeing the death of at least 10,000 innocent Palestinian civilians and half of those are children. Yeah. So former President Obama said, quote, and collective punishment is against international human rights law. So former President Obama said, quote, if you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth and you then have to admit nobody's hands are clean here, that all of us are complicit to some degree. Is that, in your view, a wake up call for Democrats? A lot of the international community agrees with him. Do you agree that the Israeli government as well as the US are part of the problem as well? Well, I think that the problem predates October 7. And I think that's what President Obama was talking about. Because let's remember, this is a very long and complicated history. My husband, with the Israeli government at the time, in 2000, offered a Palestinian state to the Palestinians at that time run by Arafat, Yuser Arafat and the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which, by the way, took out of its charter violence against Israel. So you've got to separate the Palestinians who believe that there is some future of peace with Hamas, which believes it has to destroy Israel. Those are two different organizations and they have to be viewed in that way. Arafat turned that down. There would have been a Palestinian state now for 23 years if he had not walked away from it. There was another attempt when I was secretary of state to try to bring the Palestinians and the Israelis together. That didn't work out. Israel left Gaza in 2005 just and forcibly ejected 50,000 Israelis who were living in Gaza. They left all of their infrastructure. They had a big infrastructure of greenhouses where they were supplying fruits, vegetables, flowers, et cetera. And the Palestinians deserved to have a productive, successful economy in Gaza. Hamas came in and basically destroyed all of that and killed a lot of other Palestinians. So I think when President Obama says that, it requires us to look at the history, and of course, history holds all of us accountable, and that is a fair statement. But today we have to look at where we are. And I believe it's imperative, since we have had numerous ceasefires with Hamas, all of which they have violated, to try, finally to dislodge Hamas and allow the Palestinians to have other leadership that will actually once again work for a two state solution, which should be the outcome that we all hope and pray. You know, it's what's funny. The biggest deal when I think about all of this, know, I think about Anwasadat. For me, he was a beacon. If you don't know who he was, look him up. He was somebody who felt that there was a better way for everybody to exist in Israel. Wolfie, can I say something? Because that's a really important point. Israel and Egypt fought wars. That's part of this complex history that people need to educate ourselves about. And after fighting wars, Sadat went to Israel and made peace with the then current Israeli government, and that ended. That's why you see the current Egyptian government working to try to get supplies into Gaza, to try to get civilians and foreign nationals and wounded people out of Gaza. So there's a working relationship now between Egypt and Israel. Jordan and Israel made a peace agreement. I was there to see that happen. So people should not get hopeless. There is hope, but you have to remove from the scene terrorists like Hamas who don't believe in peace. They don't believe in it for their own people. They are using their own people as shields, and they don't believe that it's possible to do with Israel. Let's try to have people who can lead us to peace.

Hamas terrorists fled to Sinai in ambulances! Download YouTube 2023-11-04 (#083) < Previous Next > A truly eye-opening speech about Hamas by Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority. When Israel retaliated against Hamas after the October 7th massacre, Hamas leaders said they don't care if Gaza is erased as long as the Hamas movement survives. At a time when thousands of Gazans were suffering and 100,000 people remain homeless, Haniya and Mashal went as far as saying that what is happening in Gaza is insignificant and doesn't affect them because Hamas is alive and well. Abbas says Hamas leaders hid under mosques and fled to Sinai in ambulances but claim they "put up resistance". Video Transcription: And when the (Israeli) aggression happened. They (Hamas leaders) said in Gaza and abroad, if Gaza were to go And its surroundings are Gaza. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. They don't care who you are Gaza, the important thing is for Hamas to remain present. They said this Haniyeh said it, and Mishal said it, “We don’t care what happens.” Mishal's article is more than this. What is happening in Gaza is a simple matter that does not affect us. It doesn't affect us. Then you go out and they say you are fine. There are thousands of martyrs among the people and thousands of wounded The people of the country have tens of thousands of demolished homes to this day To date, one hundred thousand Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip In the open because they cannot find a home for themselves, but the Hamas movement did The Hamas movement was hiding under the basements of a movement leading a movement Hamas, and I say this for the first time, fled to Sinai.

The Palestinians who are willing to talk Download YouTube 2023-12-10 (197) < Previous Next > CNN’s Jake Tapper brings you the amazing project “Whispers from Gaza” with the voices you won’t hear on Al-Jazeera Video Transcription: What we don't usually hear is what Palestinians who live in Gaza actually think of Hamas and what they actually think of the war. That's why our next guest is here. His name is Joseph Browday. He's president of the center for Peace Communications. And Joseph, your group has produced a series of videos called Whispered in Gaza featuring the voices of ordinary Palestinians. Here's an example. It's so important for the world to hear those voices. Joseph, tell us more about how you recorded that and what the purpose of your group is. Well, the Center for Peace Communications is concerned with amplifying voices that oppose extremist groups and want a different future of partnership and peace among themselves and including with their Israeli neighbors. And there are a lot of Gazans, Jake, who oppose Hamas. Some of them had the courage to wage anti-Hamas street demonstrations in 2019. And again as recently as July of this year, they braved gunfire in prison. But the world hasn't paid much attention to them and they still want to be heard. So we launched an initiative to interview many Gazans across the Strip from all walks of life and platformed them safely. There are also a lot of Gazans who are furious with the Israelis and hate the IDF. And I don't want anyone to think that I'm playing this or that. Your project is about pretending otherwise, right? Absolutely. And of course, it's possible to be anti Hamas and anti-Israel at the same time. Are very clear that they're angry at Hamas for starting wars it can't win while hiding in tunnels and leaving civilians to suffer the casualties. Hamas tries to silence free expression in Gaza. Watch this last clip. It's from a journalist who tried to cover an anti-Hamas demonstration. I was working for foreign press agencies because somebody needed to provide news coverage while I was covering the event. I was beaten. My hand was broken, my cell phone was broken, my camera was broken. Our household was mistreated. My entire extended family, a lot of them, any member of my family they got a hold of was jailed. They beat and abused them. They put nails in their feet. Tough stuff there. I mean, there is not a free press in Gaza. That's right.

Son of Hamas leader speaks out - Exposing Hamas goals. Download YouTube 2023-10-21 (#020) < Previous Next > Moussab Hassan Yousef, born at the heart of the Hamas leadership, the son of one of Hamas' founding members, has renounced Islam for Christianity. He speaks out about how Hamas does not care about the Palestinian people or have regard for human life. Hamas is a religious movement that aims at establishing an Islamic state. They are using the Paletinian cause to advance that goal and seek to transform the whole world into an Islamic world. Hamas is serving the agendas of Iran and Russia. Iran is the real master here and Hamas serves Iran, not the Palestinians. Israel did not start this ugly war. People are emotional when it comes to seeing children dying. There is evidence that Hamas is killing people at the hospital but they're blaming Israel. Gaza needs to be freed from Hamas. Israel is doing the Palestinian people a favor in doing so. Priority number one is to replace Hamas in the Gaza strip and replace it by a number of alternatives. But now is the time to ged rid of the most terrible terrorist organization in existence.
