So Palestinians can yell uninhibited for everyone to hear 'by any means necessary' and Israel is under scrutiny for defending itself in an existential war. When the world cannot make out the difference between the two psyches then there is something wrong with it and it has not learnt anything from history.
Thank you. Love these briefs so much!! I hope this one gets to the Hague. I don't understand why Israel isn't bringing a genocide "counterclaim" against the sadistic, barbarians!?
Allana, Hamas is not a state, so the court doesn't have jurisdiction over it. Annoying legalism. I do hope Israel or an Israeli group can sue South African in a South African court on behalf of the millions of people in SA who don't have water or access to medical care.
An embarrassment. Pampering your enemy and smothering them with love is not how you win a war. You gotta fight them on their terms. Maybe you should start shooting the terrorists with squirt guns too. That'll do the trick!
You mean, "Thanks for supplying your enemy with food, water, and fuel and warning them to evacuate before you attack them, and then sending in your sons to be slaughtered by them, in order to please anti-Semites who hate your guts in some privileged Western countries. Real moral courage!"
Direct your anger to the appropriate place. If anything the H aid is to win the PR war and tells the world who is right and who is wrong. The Gazans support Hamas, but the H aid might change their minds.
It's mind boggling that Hamas has so many sycophants perpetrating their lies. The IDF has every right to obliterate Hamas. The less terrorists the better.
Richard thank you for continuing the progress reports. It is so amazing that Israel recognizes and fulfils what it calls its "moral obligation" to Gazans all throughout this war. Israel is supplying humanitarian aid by giving civilians food, water, and medical supplies, and also is concerned for the safety of "innocent" civilians that have remained in Gaza. Surely after witnessing such morality on one side, the Palestinians would be grateful to Israel for such considerations. I guess time will tell.
Good video. It's a shame the media focuses hysteria and rhetoric over facts and pragmatics.
33 million litres of piped water a day is about 70% of what Israel supplied prior to the war (49 million litres a day) which constituted ~10% of Gaza’s water.
Also, prior to the war Israel had provided Gaza with 7 of Israel's water-from-air machines (solar panel operated): 3 in southern Gaza and 4 in northern Gaza.
It is reported the 3 in southern Gaza are still operating - jointly capable of producing up to 6,000 litres of potable water a day, enough for ~2,000 people - but unclear if the 4 in northern Gaza are still operating.
Despite the years of rhetoric - "occupation of water" / Israel created Gaza’s water crisis etc - Gaza has had every opportunity to be self-sufficient, and I wonder if the contamination and water scarcity of the coastal aquifer is just a matter of mismanagement or largely due to digging extensive tunnels down to 40m which most likely severely lowered the water table.
I also wonder why Israel supplied water to Gaza in the first place as, despite the rhetoric, Gaza has not been under Israeli occupation. Interested to hear from others on why... Cheers.
The film is excellent, really clear, visual and also shows that each target has been analysed and isn’t just blanket bombing (unlike the propaganda machine from the networks would have you believe). Also it’s factual, backed up with how good the tech / data at drilling down to an accurate picture of what’s on the ground. Really good video. In terms of the citizens, I’ve been reading that broker networks to help Gaza citizens have passage to Egypt have sprung up, at a charge of around $4000 per person! It’s just abhorrent that this money is probably going to Hamas or other unscrupulous individuals, just another way to exploit western sympathies.
With respect, if you want to reach young people, 7 minutes is too long (!) You also need to vary tones--this calm, mature voice can be heard as condescending.
I can't figure out how Israel is being accused of war crimes in the court of international law with all the amazing humanitarian aid and strategic efforts being made to minimize the death of millions of civilians.
I very much look forward to hearing Israel’s defense tomorrow because South Africa presented a very damning case.
Is there any way to publicly - and respectfully - counter the comments of Cindy McCain, head of UN WFP, who was just on CNN calling for a ceasefire and discussing the extreme hunger & deprivation in Gaza. She is a friend of Israel and well-liked, so no wish in any way to disparage her, but her comments clearly differ from what the film shows, so a public explanation of why there are different views and the full facts, might be helpful. Even though we trust her and know how compassionate she is, she represents the U.N. and we know the organization as a whole cannot be trusted about anything.
Thank you Richard for this wonderful video. This information is so important for those of us who love and support Israel. I will disseminate it to my contacts.
Thought i accidentally unsubscribed but apparently there haven't been updates for a while. Somehow i must have missed out on the last post.
Yesterday i read an interesting article outlining the war in syria and the world was silent - we haven't seen any mass protests, not even medium sized compared to what we have seen here.
Back then i was shocked by the brutality yet "silence".
Here we have a war that was started by a terrorist organization and cheered in the streets (presumably by a lot civilians) yet somehow this created mass protests but in favor of the attackers. Hostage posters taken down in different places etc ... the world is upside down in this regard. Even so long after the tragedy, just yesterday i have seen a video of a reporter interviewing college students if they support israel or hamas and why, mostly the answers lacked any detail knowledge but everybody had an opinion a lot obv spurred by others, negative / wrongful bias or bad education on facts.
What israel is doing here is absolutely remarkable, the way this war is fought minimizing collateral wherever possible against an enemy that obeys no rules.
Great work. I’d be interested to know what percentage of all that aid has been stolen by Hamas.
Or is there a point to be made that by Israel distributing it, it doesn’t go through UNRWA to Hamas? Great video!
So Palestinians can yell uninhibited for everyone to hear 'by any means necessary' and Israel is under scrutiny for defending itself in an existential war.

Thanks for helping the Gaza people. I believe this video to be true. I don't believe Hamas.

Israel has to stop looking over her shoulder. Hamas certainly does whatever the hell it wants and is winning the PR war anyway.
It's mind boggling that Hamas has so many sycophants perpetrating their lies. The IDF has every right to obliterate Hamas. The less terrorists the better.

Keep up the great work. The world is counting on Israel to stop this terrorism now.
Over 1 month we didn't hear from you Richard. Hope you're doing well.

The film is very clear and specific. Thank you.

LTC Hecht and team, I have already shared the footage with one of my local TV stations.
Show us to show the world!
