It’s strange that I haven’t heard of any Israeli targets at Gaza or deaths since the pro-Palestinian protests erupted on campuses weeks ago. Why is this not news worthy? No updates from Iareal / Gaza for weeks.

There have been targeted attacks but not much widescale attack. Israel withdrew at least one battalion though there also must be some rotations. Israel opened more humanitarian aid crossings. The only place left to really go is Rafah but there are 1 million people evacuated there.

Jordan sent recently a convoy of aid. As it crossed into Israel some angry Israeli citizens tried to stop it. The Israelis arrested those citizens and got the aid to the crossing. Then when it crossed into Gaza, Hamas attacked and stole the aid trucks. But don’t worry the UN is on the case. They’ll find the food. Lol.

Hamas then launched rockets at the aid crossing so Israel shut it down and hit back at the launch sites in Rafah. Hamas is making the case why Israel has to go into Rafah. Stupid. All Hamas has to is surrender. They cannot win, but they watch MSNBC so they think the people are with them.

The internal pressure in Israel to cut a deal that releases the hostages is growing. I’ve said this on many threads, the Israelis have traditionally been leftists at heart. They don’t want this. They want peace and to always a deal for peace. Which is generally the right attitude but that only works when the other side is capable and willing. The Palestinians are neither. Hamas definitely will commit their own people’s death to the cause, and the West Bank has no central leadership. But the Israeli people would rather leave Hamas in place if they can get their people back.

Maybe because all these little Marxists on college campuses have shifted attention, and/or Israel is going silent/deadly. No embedded reporting?
If Israel was smart they’d do what they need to do with as few reports as possible.
More news from them only invites worldwide condemnation, which cause pedo joe election politics problems, thus trying to reel in the IDF.
