    Israeli forces targeted another school-turned-shelter for displaced Palestinians in northern Gaza on Thursday, killing 28, including at
    least five children, and wounding 160.

    The strike targeted the Abu Hussein Elementary School in the Jabalia
    refugee camp, which has been under total siege for about two weeks, a
    step Israel has taken to carry out an ethnic cleansing plan in
    northern Gaza.

    “There is no water to extinguish the fire. There is nothing. This is a massacre,” Medhat Abbas, a Palestinian health official, told Al
    Jazeera. “Civilians and children are being killed, burned under fire.”

    Israel claimed that it targeted Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad
    fighters who gathered at the school. Israel typically claims schools
    they target are Hamas “command and control centers.” but never offers
    evidence to back up the claims.

    Hamas denied that it was using the Abu Hussein school, which was run
    by the UN’s Palestinian relief agency, for military purposes. Hamas
    called the Israeli claims “nothing but lies,” adding it was “a
    systematic policy of the enemy to justify its crime.”

    Earlier in the day, Gaza’s Health Ministry released its daily death
    toll, saying at least 29 Palestinians were killed and 93 were injured.
    The latest violence brings the ministry’s recorded death toll to
    42,438 and the number of wounded to 99,246. The figures do not account
    for the Palestinians who are missing and presumed dead under the
    rubble or indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege.

    Other Israeli strikes in Gaza on Thursday included two in northern
    Gaza that killed 11 people, and several were reported killed by
    Israeli strikes in the south. Israel said that Hamas’s leader, Yahya
    Sinwar, was killed in the southern city of Rafah.

    So what do you figure, they killed 23 murderous Hamas terrorists?

    How come the Palestinians keep refuseing peace?
    Why wont they release the people they kidnapped last Oct. 6 ?
    Why do they just keep launching rockets at Israel.

    Not perfect, but a lot of real truths in this podcast.
    Listen, watch, and read the whole thing at: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0_-eUOrI5_/

    I see a lot of Nativity Scenes as I'm out driving before Christmas,
    and I can't help thinking about where that manger really is.
    It's on Palestinian lands Controlled by the Palestinian Authority. In
    1950, The little town of Bethlehem was 86% Christian. Now it's
    overwhelmingly Muslim. And that's my point tonight. Things change.

    To 2.3 billion. Christians, that can be no more sacred sight than where
    their savior was born, but they don't have it anymore And yet no
    Crusader Army has geared up to take it back. Things change countries, boundaries Empires Palestine Was under the Ottoman Empire for 400 years.
    But today, an ottoman is something you put under your feet.

    City of Byzantium became the city of Constantinople became Istanbul.
    Not everybody liked it but you can't keep arguing the call forever. The
    Irish had the entire island to themselves but the British were starting
    an Empire and well the Irish lost their toe.

    Maybe. They blew each other up over it for 30 years, but eventually,
    everybody comes to an accommodation. Except the Palestinians. Was it
    unjust that even a single Arab family was forced to move upon the
    founding of the Jewish State? Yes, But it's also not rare. Happening all through history, all over the world and mostly what people do is make
    the best of it. After World War II, 12 million ethnic Germans got
    shoved, out of Russia and Poland and Czechoslovakia because being German
    had become kind of unpopular, A million Greeks were shoved out of turkey
    in 1923 a millions out of Nigeria in 1983. Almost a million French at
    about Algeria in 1962, nearly a million Syrian refugees moved to Germany
    eight years ago. Was that a perfect fit? And no one knows more about
    being pushed off land in the Jews, Including being almost, wholy, kicked
    out of every Arab country. They once lived in Yes, Tick Tock fans Ethnic cleansing happened. Both ways In Fiddler on the roof. The family is
    always moving to stay one step ahead of the Cossacks but they deal with
    it when they're leaving. Attica they say, "hey it wasn't so great anyway." "Come on, like other countries. Don't have roofs. You could fiddle on."

    Now, that's not how they really felt. But they were coping They coped
    Because sometimes that's all you can do. History is brutal. A humans are
    not good people. People History sad and full of wrongs, but you can't
    make them unhappy because of power glider isn't a time machine People,
    get moved and yes, colonized. Nobody was a bigger colonizer than the
    Muslim Army that swept out of the Arabian desert and took over much of
    the world in a single Century and they didn't do it by asking. There's a
    reason Saudi Arabia's flag is a sword. Kosovo was the Cradle of
    Christian Serbia. Then it became Muslim, They fought a war about it in
    the 90s but stopped, they didn't keep it going for 75 years. There were
    deals on the table to share the land called Palestine. In 1947. 93 95,
    98 2000, 2008 and East Jerusalem could have been the capital of a
    Palestinian state that today Might look more like Dubai than Gaza.
    Arafat was offered 95 of the West Bank and said, no, The Palestinian
    people should know, your leaders and the useful idiots on college
    campuses who are their allies Are not doing you any favors by keeping
    alive, the river to the sea myth. I mean, where do you think Israel is
    going, spoiler? Alert nowhere.

    It's one of the most powerful countries in the world with the 500
    billion dollar economy. The world's second largest tech sector after
    Silicon Valley and nuclear weapons. They're here. They like their bagel
    with a smear. Get used to it.

    What's happening to Palestinians today is horrible and not just in Gaza
    in the West Bank too. But Wars end with negotiation and what the media
    gloss is over is it's hard to negotiate when the other side's bargaining position is you all die and disappear. I mean the chance from the river
    to the Sea. Yeah, let's look at the map. Here's the river. Here's the
    sea. Oh, I see it means. You get all of it, Not just the West Bank,
    which was basically the original U.N. Partition deal, you rejected?
    Because you wanted all of it and always have Even though it's
    indisputably Also, the Jewish ancestral Homeland. And so you attacked
    And lost And attacked again, And loss, And attacked again And lost As my friend, Dr. Phil says how's that working for you?

    Look at what Mexico used to own all the way up to the top of California
    but no Mexican is out there chanting from the Rio Grande to Portland Oregon.

    Because they chose a different path. They got real and built a country,
    that's the world's 14th Biggest economy now because they knew the United
    States wasn't going to give back Phoenix, Any more than Hamas will ever
    be in Tel Aviv.

    One of the leaders of Hamas, says save yourselves time and imaginary
    dreams in a few years Allah is willing. You will have to discuss the
    situation in the region after Israel. I'm sorry. Who's the one with
    imaginary dreams. If I give you the benefit of the doubt and say your
    plan for a completely Jewless Palestine, isn't that all the Jews should
    die? What is the only other option? They move You. Move all the Jews.
    Okay, I gotta warn you. There's gonna be some kvetching.

    You move all the Jews and we do this with what a fleet of trucks called jew-haul

    And to, where are we moving this entire country. Texas Sure they have
    room and I guess we could put the whaling wall on the border and killed
    two birds with one star Or we can just get serious.
