In early February, we were tasked by the White House to assess countries based on adherence to international laws on weapons use and humanitarian aid. Despite working on the report, we were removed before its release. When it came out on May 10th, it surprisingly acknowledged Israel's potential violation of international laws with US weapons but also stated that Israel is not impeding humanitarian aid. This was unexpected and contradictory to previous actions by the White House.

I find it hard to believe the story about the recent events in Israel. The country is heavily fortified and surveilled, with IDF soldiers everywhere. However, there were protests against Bibi Netanyahu's actions, and now he has an emergency government. While I'm not saying Netanyahu knew about the incident, some questions need to be asked. Was there a stand down order for 6 hours? It's hard to believe considering the country's size. The IDF is everywhere, so it's legitimate to question if someone in the government told them to stand down.

I was saddened and outraged by the recent explosion at the Gaza hospital. It seems like it was caused by the other team, not you. However, there are doubts among people. We need to overcome these challenges and focus on saving innocent Palestinian lives.

Israel launched a new ground offensive in the Middle East last Thursday. While there are differing opinions on this issue, it's important to note that questioning Israel's policies does not mean supporting Hamas or condoning violence against children. Let's shift the conversation to something lighter, like Ukraine.

An aid worker reports witnessing a tragedy where Israeli tanks and weapons fired on a crowd of thousands of starving people running towards them after they passed through the Zakim gate with clearance from Israelis. The aid worker stated that no humanitarian aid worker should ever be a target. The aid worker was asked about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in light of reports that over 800 Palestinians have been killed around aid distribution sites in the last two months, mostly at GHF locations. The aid worker clarified that they do not coordinate with or work with GHF because they are a UN agency with a different operational model. They stated they have no information about GHF because they do not communicate.

The US has pushed Israel on humanitarian aid, making progress, but does not judge if Israel is impeding US aid flow into Gaza as per the 1961 foreign assistance act.

There is growing concern that support for Israel may decrease as anger over the recent attacks subsides. Pressure may increase on both Israel and the US to take a more active role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Some celebrations of the attacks have been seen in the Middle East due to perceived US support for Israel. The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians has been intense for months, but was overshadowed by the recent attacks. The situation is being closely monitored for any developments.

Israel's actions in the conflict have raised questions about humanity. Despite recognizing one atrocity as wrong, people seem to turn a blind eye as more lives are lost and communities destroyed. The sheer number of bombs dropped by Israel is alarming.

Violence has escalated dramatically before President Biden's visit. The IDF is investigating an incident that may have been a misfired rocket by Hamas.

This is a war, a bloody and messy combat. Innocent civilians will be hurt, and I wish it could be different. However, it is the unfortunate nature of conflict. We will still express concerns and support the Israelis in minimizing civilian casualties.

Evidence shows a significant disparity in media coverage of Israeli versus Palestinian deaths. Data journalists Dana Najjar and Jan Litava found that mentions of Palestinian deaths spiked in early April, primarily due to an Israeli drone strike on a convoy of the NGO World Central Kitchen, which killed six Western aid workers and one Palestinian driver, Safedidin Abu Taha. The attack garnered extensive Western media attention, but Abu Taha was often referred to only in relation to the Western victims, leading to a surge in mentions of Palestinian deaths without proper recognition of his identity. This incident highlights the chilling reasons behind the unequal coverage.

Ryan explains the observations about the violence in Rafa, referring to a map of the Rafa site. On Sunday, the IDF reported an RPG attack at Rafa Airport, which has not operated for some time. They also said snipers appeared, the IDF was trying to clear a tunnel, and that some fighters might be hiding in that tunnel. The key point, according to Ryan, is how far Rafa Airport is behind enemy lines, with IDF positions nearby and extensive rubble all around, and no tunnel network connecting Rafa to the rest of Gaza. This leads to two possibilities if the IDF story is accurate: either Hamas fighters managed to move through the rubble for kilometers to ambush from behind the lines, or they have been hiding in a tunnel for eight months since the area has been under IDF control for roughly eight months, raising questions about how they would be provisioned (food and water). Ryan then relays information from a source familiar with the situation who says that shortly after the attack, American intelligence indicated that a bulldozer operated by a settler company that has been destroying homes in Rafa ran over either unexploded ordinance or some improvised explosive device that had not detonated during the fighting in Rafa many months ago, and that the United States relayed this intel to Israel. He notes that there is a large stock of IDs and a large amount of unexploded ordnance from shells and bombs that did not explode, and that a bulldozer hitting such ordnance could cause an explosion. Ryan adds a fine point: if this account is true, it would suggest White House officials believe Israel lied to them. He states that they “believe” this, and when they conveyed that they knew what had happened, Netanyahu responded by reopening the crossings. Netanyahu had previously said that because of the attack, all crossings would be closed with no food or medicine entering. After the White House’s message related to Israel, Netanyahu announced the crossings would be reopened on Monday morning, just a few hours later due to the time difference. The closure and then rapid reversal are highlighted as a consequence of the White House’s position. The discussion then returns to whether US officials “called Netanyahu out” and whether Netanyahu’s initial story about the violence was challenged, leading to the reversal of the crossing closures.

I find it hard to believe the story about the recent conflict in Israel. The country is heavily fortified and surveilled, with IDF soldiers everywhere. Israel was on the brink of civil war due to protests against Netanyahu, but now he has an emergency government. I'm not saying Netanyahu knew about the situation, but there are questions to be asked. Was there a stand down order for 6 hours? It's hard to believe that in a country the size of New Jersey, they couldn't respond sooner. The whole country is the IDF, so it's legitimate to question if someone in the government told them to stand down.

The administration is aware of reports that Israeli forces fired on Palestinians seeking aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The Red Cross reported that 20 people arrived at their hospital with gunshot wounds and died. The administration is investigating the veracity of these reports, stating they don't take Hamas' word as truth. The speaker criticized the BBC for initially reporting Israeli tanks and gunfire killed dozens, then retracting the story after reviewing footage and finding no evidence. The speaker stated they will look into reports before confirming them or taking action and suggested journalists do the same to reduce misinformation.

It is not in the U.S.'s or Israel's interest to get involved in another major war in the Middle East. It's false to say that when Israel was attacked, America was attacked. Adopting that mentality leads to situations like Iraq. The U.S. shouldn't put boots on the ground in Israel, and many Israelis agree. The U.S. is limited in how it can support Israel right now due to resources given to Ukraine and military drawdown after twenty years of war. The U.S. drew down artillery prepositioned in Israel and gave it to Ukraine, and it will take years to rebuild the capacity to adequately support partners like Israel and Ukraine while preparing for a potential conflict with China. Israel is going to need a lot of artillery shells just like Ukraine does. Early in the Ukraine war, Israel was attacked for taking a neutral stance and resisting pressure to send its Iron Dome to Ukraine. Had Israel caved, more Israelis would have died. Israel deserves credit for prioritizing the safety of its citizens.

This video discusses the difference between a past terrorist attack in Israel and the current actions of Israeli soldiers in Gaza. The speaker emphasizes that the past attack was an act of sadism and brutality against innocent people, while the soldiers' objective now is to prevent such attacks from happening again. The international community is urged to remember this distinction.

Hamas has executed six hostages in cold blood, reportedly just before a potential rescue by Israeli Defense Forces. My condolences go out to the families, particularly Hirsch Gilbert's family. These hostages were found in tunnels under Rafah, where the Biden administration pressured Israel not to enter for months, even using an arms embargo. Kamala Harris stated that a military operation in Rafah would be a mistake, citing the lack of escape routes for civilians. The administration should have supported Israel's response from the start instead of focusing pressure on them, while Hamas and Iran faced little consequence.

There is mistrust towards the Israeli and US governments due to past instances of misinformation. People are skeptical and want an international investigation to determine the truth. However, the US government does not believe it is appropriate at this time. The Israeli government has provided evidence supporting their claim that the hospital attack was a misfire from Gaza. In contrast, Hamas has made a claim without any evidence. It is unfortunate that many believe the terrorist organization's claim over the Israeli government's evidence. The US government is conducting its own assessment.

In this exchange, Speaker 0 raises the issue of the USS Liberty attack in 1967, arguing that if truth matters, the Israeli government must be held accountable because the American flag was flying on that ship. Speaker 0 presses why, in a discussion of modern Israeli–American relations, Speaker 1 would deem the attack “irrelevant” to current ties. Speaker 1 responds that when assessing today’s relations, citing the 1967 attack as a basis for judgment is irrelevant—comparable to using evidence from World War II or 1776 to define present-day relations with Britain or Germany. He emphasizes that while the attack was horrible and tragic for those involved, and that Israel paid reparations, the actual naval record indicates the incident was a mistaken and tragic event. He notes that those who reference the USS Liberty often do so to suggest Israel deliberately harmed America, and asks if that is Speaker 0’s broader point. Speaker 0 reiterates that truth requires accountability from the Israeli government, given the American flag on the ship. Speaker 1 points to the naval investigations, stating that multiple investigations exist and that the Israeli military at the time was flying Mirage planes and the USS Liberty was operating off-grid. He explains that the Israeli forces mistook the ship for an Egyptian vessel and believed it was shelling Al-Arish, which was not true. He describes the sequence: the American flag was knocked down in the initial attack, the engagement lasted about ninety minutes, and once it became clear the vessel was American, the attack was halted and a ship was dispatched to assist the Liberty. He also notes there have been other unfortunate friendly-fire incidents in war, such as during the Gulf War when US forces killed British troops. Speaker 0 asks about the broader agenda behind raising the incident, suggesting that it is not limited to that specific event. Speaker 1 acknowledges the question but questions the motive and implies that it is not an appropriate basis for evaluating current U.S.–Israel relations. Speaker 0 asserts that there are ongoing problems in the relationship, but again emphasizes the six-decade-old incident as relevant to the discussion. Speaker 1 maintains that, in the same way that many histories exist, there are many countries and contexts, and reiterates that the question is not answered satisfactorily. The exchange ends with Speaker 1 indicating this will be the last question.

I find it hard to believe the story about the recent events in Israel. The country is heavily fortified and surveilled, with IDF soldiers everywhere. However, there were protests against Bibi Netanyahu's actions, and now he has an emergency government. While I'm not saying Netanyahu knew about the incident, some questions need to be asked. Was there a stand down order for 6 hours? It's hard to believe considering the size of the country. The IDF is everywhere. The livestreamed killings raise legitimate questions about government involvement.

Speaker 0 asks if the administration still has no red lines. Speaker 1 confirms that it is still the case. Speaker 0 refers to a previous statement made in late October about the administration not drawing red lines for Israel as civilian deaths in Gaza increase. Speaker 1 confirms that it is still the case, mentioning that airstrikes continue and civilians continue to die from them.

Hamas is committing a war crime by hiding their military headquarters under a hospital. Israel has responded by sending soldiers with weapons, but they have not launched a large-scale attack. The situation is concerning, as we need to prevent it from escalating further.

The images from the conflict are devastating and speak for themselves. President Biden has repeatedly communicated his red lines to Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding actions in Gaza, including limitations on entering and potential aid restrictions. Netanyahu, however, continues to disregard these warnings. The US and others are questioning whether Israel's actions are in its best interest, given the increasing international isolation and tensions with allies like Egypt. The US may need to reconsider its support for Israel, potentially adjusting military aid conditions to influence their actions. Holding back specific weapons systems, not overall defense aid, is a possibility. There's even growing dissent within Israel itself, with calls for Netanyahu's removal. The situation requires the US to make a difficult choice about how it will support Israel moving forward.
