I dont think much could be done in 48 hours, but if we start now many lives will be saved. 

Israel is starting to allow humanitarian/food shipments now, and making sure Hamas militants don't get their hands on it to overcharge the citizens for it.   When food had been parachuted down it struck and injured or killed people, and there is no way then to stop Hamas militants from grabbing it.  

I take note that you feel such pain for the people who celebrated, sang and danced in the streets and passed around candies when Oct 7 happened, and better yet WHEN 9/11 HAPPENED.

I dont want to see anyone starve to death, especially kids.  I suspect that withholding food from civilians is a war crime. 

They claimed people were starving before the cease fire.  Then thousands  of healthy Palestinians came out and had a dance party with the coffins of Jewish kids they’d murdered.

You want to talk about war crimes?  How about using civilians as human shields?  How about hiding themselves and their weapons in and under schools, mosques, hospitals, UNRWA facilities  and refugee camps?  How about having taken hostages?  How about locating their missile launchers beside schools?  How about not giving a shit about HOW MANY of the people they govern and are supposed to care for are killed because even though their defeat is inevitable they refuse to surrender to stop the carnage.  Even the Nazis and the Japanese realized it and did the right thing by surrendering.  But the UN still blames Israel for everything.  

But they keep it up because they can see how well their psychological method to make the world despise the Jews is working, working on the nation's leaders, working on the marchers and  demonstartors, working on the United Nations, the biggest antisemitic agency in the world, and working on the bleeding hearts of the world, like some on this very NT site. 

Thank you Sean.

Do you really want to make it look like you are indifferent to babies starving in Gaza ? 

I'm not indifferent to the babies who were cooked alive in the ovens or  indifferent to the young girls at a music festival who were raped and their breasts sliced off and the young men whose eyes were gouged out and were decapitated all on Oct 7.  Having witnessed a bus bombing when I was in Jerusalem I'm not indifferent to the women and children who were murdered there, and having been in the reception room of the Park Hotel in Netanya a couple of days after the "Passover Massacre" to see the devestation and the blood that had not yet been cleaned away, and having listened to the doctors in the local Laniando Hospital who through tears in their eyes described the condition of the few men, women and chldren who survived, I'm not indifferent to them, and having had to run and hide in a bomb shelter in a Kibbutz in northern Israel, and having a son who only by the grace of God slept in the morning that the cafe was blown up where he would normally have been eating breakfast when it happened, so I'm not indifferent to the fact that they did not have to send his remains back to us in a bottle, YES, I AM INDIFFERENT TO BABIES STARVING IN GAZA, especially since they're not going to starve, because food is being shipped in to feed them this very moment if not already done. 

If the people in Gaza who are unhappy about what is happening they VASTLY outnumber the Hamas militants and they could emulate what the French and the Russians AND EVEN THE AMERICANS did when THEY were unhappy enough with their government.  Why don't they?  It's because they hate the Jews more than they hate Hamas. 

YES, I AM INDIFFERENT TO BABIES STARVING IN GAZA

I see. 

You left this off my comment: 

"...especially since they're not going to starve."

Is that because you wanted to do the same kind of thing with me that Hamas is successfully doing with its method?

Why don't you provide evidence that this is actually going on.

that's pure hate right there

"...especially since they're not going to starve."

Do you have a problem with your vision?

UN retracts aid chief's claim that 14,000 Gazan babies will die in 48 hours without aid

YES, I AM INDIFFERENT TO BABIES STARVING IN GAZA

Whoa John that is some big time hatred you are showing to the Gazans and the babies there

Hamas simply steps up and steals it, then make the Gaza people buy it. Hamas is not comprised of nice people who care about women. little children, babies.

Some antisemites will believe anything the Hamas terrorists tell them.

I know that

That too

Why wait for governments to step in?  

Why didn’t countries air drop supplies to starving German citizens during WWI or WWII?

Maybe Hamas can dig into their larders and tresuries to feed these poor people

Morning free..well considering most of the Hamas leaders aren't even in the flipping country and living it up in Iran and anywhere else that would take them... just shows you how much they care for the people of Gaza..

Time the people of Gaza woke up to it and stop being lead around by the nose...

They are the ones doing the hard yards while the Hamas leaders are not missing a mouthful that's if they are even there...

Any normal thinking person should know those types of figures being bandied around are BS right from the start..I heard it and thought BS but you have to expect ill informed people and fanatics will latch on to it...

It's a bit like "it was on Facebook so it has to be true"..dumb arses..🙄

living it up in Iran and anywhere else that would take them.

Being the corrupt leader of a failed state does have its perks

Why Dont The Worlds Nations (That Can) Just Airdrop Food Into Gaza ?

Supplies have from from United States, Jordan, Egypt, and France have been dropped into Gaza.

defense

How long do you want to keep supplying them?   Until they recover enough to attack again?

Just going off the headline, too dangerous to those on the ground , meaning no control over where it would land . 

 factor  in no control over who will get it ie militias .

seems to me some are thinking this could be like the berlin airlift , but the big difference is landing areas  and control of them. without suitable landing areas or zones  it isnt really feasable , if the goods wont make it to whom actually need it . 

 my thought is any attempt to helicopter in supplies will be done under hostile conditions and AC and crews taking fire from militias attempting to take control, Not a good situation .

This, exactly. The fighting needs to stop.

my thought is any attempt to helicopter in supplies

My experience with rotary wing resupply missions is that most will NOT fly into an area and put themselves at an unnecessary risk.  Remember, these supplies would be dropped to a populace where combatants are hiding among them.  

A few minutes ago on the nightly news show anchored by David Muir he said that UN experts say there are 14000 babies in Gaza who could die from malnutrition, starvation, within 48 hours.

That story has been thoroughly debunked , but not until after it went viral and has been posted all over the mainstream and social media.  Retractions have been slow and half-hearted as backlash against Israel has increased.

The United Nation’s humanitarian relief chief is being called on to resign after his incorrect interpretation of a UN food security report kickstarted a widespread misinformation campaign about the humanitarian situation in Gaza. 

While speaking on BBC’s “Today” show on Tuesday, the UN officer, Tom Fletcher, relayed the harrowing warning that 14,000 babies will die in Gaza in the next 48 hours. When asked how he arrived at that number, he responded that the UN has “strong teams on the ground” working in medical centers and schools. 

The startling figure was quickly scooped up by dozens of news outlets and racked up hundreds of thousands of hits on social media. It was even peddled by British lawmakers during a debate at the House of Commons.

The only problem, though, is that the statistic is demonstrably false and it has already been walked back by both the British broadcast network and the UN.

In a nutshell, Mr. Fletcher’s warning was incorrect on nearly all fronts. He first got it wrong that all of the 14,000 children are babies; he then misspoke that they’re all expected to die; and lastly, he completely botched the timeline. Additionally, the report was published on May 12, before Israel began to allow aid to enter Gaza.

Despite the clarification from both the UN and the BBC, the figure has taken on a life of its own. According to an artificial-intelligence-powered analysis from   JewishOnliner , the words “14,000 + Babies” have been posted online an estimated 133,000 times and received some 685,000 interactions — potentially reaching 4.5 billion viewers. Those numbers are likely underestimated, given that the analysis excludes Facebook and Instagram. 

“Fletcher’s false claim was widely and rapidly amplified by mainstream media in the US, UK, and Australia,” JewishOnliner writes. “While shocking headlines grab attention for days, the subsequent corrections or retractions rarely receive the same coverage or reach, leaving many unaware that the initial claim was debunked.”

Fletcher is either completely incompetent or a purposeful purveyor of anti-Israel propaganda in support of Hamas.  He should be held accountable, and his spreading of, and covering for, other lies and propaganda as the spokesperson for the UNRWA should be thoroughly investigated.

As you can see there are NT members who are quick to take Hamas' side in this conflict, either because they simply don't comprehend what Hamas has been doing and why they will not stop until the last Hamas militant falls, or else they're just (I won't say the word but here's a lesser repulsive one) anti-Israel.

No one is taking Hamas side Buzz. Get a freaking grip. 

I don't know of a single NT member who has taken Hamas' side or expressed any support for Hamas.

You sure as hell are buying into their propaganda method.  They are STILL saying that it was an Israeli bomb that killed 500 people outside a Gaza City hospital near the beginning of the war, when It's been ESTABLISHED that it was a misfired Islamic Jihad missile.  They always announce more than 50,000 Palestinians killed "including mostly women and children" when IN FACT 20,000 of them were Hamas militants, and HOW QUICK it was for so many to come down hard on Israel because of the FALSE STORY that 14,000 children will die of malnutritian in the next 2 days.  Who questioned it?  After all, it's part of the Hamas phychological method learned from Iran that so many would rather believe rather than back Israel in what it is FORCED to do because of all the war crimes Hamas does, as I listed in 1.1.3 and 1.1.6 above.  Why would the DECLARED TERRORIST Hamas surrender?  Their "method" is getting them all the support they want and need from around the world and now I'm sick that Canada is stabbing Israel in the back AGAIN, along with the UK and France. 

YOU get a grip on reality. 

Either one is with Israel or against Israel, and if one is not with Israel in this war then they are with the DECLARED TERRORIST Hamas.  I think I've indicated enough reasons in my comments about as to why I'm with Israel in whatever they have to do to survive in peace.   

1.  I am not aware of a single NT member who is "against Israel" in this war.   To whom are you referring?

2.  Arguments about propaganda aside, as a general principle, being "indifferent" to babies starving is NOT in the tradition of our people.  If you think it is, shame.

The Jewish Response to Hunger

Based on Jewish values and Jewish history, we must identify with the starving masses of the world.

jewishvirtuallibrary

Either one is with Israel or against Israel, and if one is not with Israel in this war then they are with the DECLARED TERRORIST Hamas. 

Complete nonsense.  You should quit with this bs before you say something you are going to regret. 

Hamas' reputation as terrorist thugs who cowardly hide behind women and children is well known.

Not condemning them amounts to supporting them.

I don't personally know a single person who doesn't, or wouldn't for those I haven't discussed it with, condemn Hamas as a vile and disgusting terrorist organization that needs to be defeated and destroyed.  I can't imagine anyone I know who would support Hamas in any way, shape or form.

I have supported Israel since I was a young child, putting part of my allowance into the Karen Kayemeth "Blue Box", to buying Israel Bonds, to travelling to Israel more than once, and touring Israel from close to the Lebanon border down to Eilat, to being the Director of Development of the Canadian supporting organization of an Israeli hospital, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for it, and no matter who opposes it IMO Am Yisrael Chai, and I support WHATEVER Israel has to do to survive and I will NOT be shamed for my belief in that.  

AND, besides all that THE CHILDREN IN GAZA  ARE NOT DYING OF STARVATION.  If the children are dying it is because of the war crime tactics being used by Hamas.  Blame Hamas, not Israel.  

What have Gazans done to help anybody else?

They've caused problems in every country that took them in.  Now Egypt, Jordan and several other country want nothing to do with them.

Now there is so much anti-Israel rhetoric being voiced around the world, even by political leaders, that Israel embassy staff are now being murdered.  If the BLAME iSRAEL stuff is continued and ramped up more and more the next thing we'll see is a synagogue full of worshippers being blown up.  If anyone doesn't understand why I am as vocal about the anti-Israel rhetoric as I am, I happen to have good reason to be concerned.  Very few are aware that both my daughter and my son are in positions that make them primary targets.  I'll not elaborate on that.
