  1. guess it wasn't as anti-mine as they'd hoped
  2. Immediately prior to the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians, #Hamas had terrible and declining support among Gazans, who saw it and not Israel or Egypt as primarily responsible for widespread poverty. Arab Barometer completed surveys in Gaza on October 6. Among the results: "Only 16 percent blamed externally imposed economic sanctions" for widespread poverty and food shortages. 31 percent "identified government mismanagement as the primary cause of food insecurity in Gaza." "Only 40 percent said that freedom of expression was guaranteed to a great or moderate extent, and 68 percent believed that the right to participate in a peaceful protest was not protected or was protected only to a limited extent under Hamas rule." "73 percent of Gazans favored a peaceful settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On the eve of Hamas’s October 7 attack, just 20 percent of Gazans favored a military solution that could result in the destruction of the state of Israel." 54 percent of Gazans favored a two-state solution. Writing in @ForeignAffairs, @AmaneyJamal and @mdhrobbins of @ArabBarometer, show that in the past Gazans rally around support when Israeli military actions ramp up, as they are now. That's understandable--as is @Israel's need to defend itself and remove Hamas, a governing group that is committed to the eradication of Israel. I hope that Israel's hunt for Hamas leadership is swift, effective, and targeted in such a way that it allows Gazans and Israelis to reach a lasting peace in the near future. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/what-palestinians-really-think-hamas
  3. because it's the only one small enough to fit him?
  4. This guy is getting around. Good to see he pulled through and had a baby
  5. Some more about the Jewish students barricaded in the library. Take each with the appropriate grains of salt. NYC mayor saying it was no big deal City councilwoman relaying and interview with a student there She has 4 more tweets if you want to click through. Basically saying that the Jewish students are shaken and said they won't feel ok on campus again, and that many Jewish students have dropped out of school due to bullying (presumably this was before the protest)
  6. Houston with a bit of a self own here
  7. Coming from Israeli defense force intelligence so take it with some caveats
  8. This lady dentite probably à
  9. Released footage of one of the missing Americans Footage of US citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who went missing after Hamas attacked the music festival in Israel, has surfaced of him alive with his arm blown off The incident happened when 11 grenades were thrown into the shelter where Hersh was with his friends. Hersh’s friend, Aner Shapira, died defending him and 27 others and was able to throw 8 grenades back. Shapira reportedly was found dead with a grenade still in his hand.
  10. Possibly but it's still an unsafe environment when a crowd is tracking jews down in buildings, even if it's just to protest.
  11. Also looks like some protestors are getting extra credit, at least at Cal
  12. This seems like it could be a big deal
  13. Russians also get their history wrong, Halloween isn't pagan and doesn't seem to have anything to do with Samhain other than coincidentally falling on the same date.
  14. And some more interviews with captured terrorists
  15. yup, and it technically didn't dent his bank account because it was 100% financed
  16. General Mark Hertling with some thoughts. Many know him from the Ukraine thread https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1716607268869865793.html
