I don’t think Israel would stop now regardless of what Hamas does. They have little reason to stop, and there are factions that want the land, whatever the cost to others. And believe, falsely in my opinion, that they have a divine right to it. Again, whatever the cost.
I was thinking , in a way, Palestinians may be in the same situation as Ukraine. Yes, they both have a right to their own land, but for whatever reason they have lost the ability to govern it, practically speaking. Just as Ukrainians have lived in their own land for a long time but now are effectively occupied by Russia, so are the people who have lived in Gaza and the west bank occupied. And that will not go away anytime soon, I think.
“The Hyundai battery plant where 450+ illegals were arrested is the VERY SAME PLANT that Joe Biden promised would provide jobs for the American people.
“Egypt has just confirmed that it will NOT open its border with Gaza in order to allow Palestinian children and mothers in Gaza to escape what Egypt calls a “genocide.” Egypt also just confirmed that it will not allow Palestinian children who need food to walk with their mothers to Egypt where food is plentiful. The reason for these restrictions, according to Egypt, is that the displacement of Palestinian children and mothers who are living in tents in Gaza would be dishonorable. Palestinian children must continue to suffer for the “cause of Palestine,” Egypt said.”
So the Korean government is warning us to not infringe upon THEIR citizens rights in OUR country??? Get the heck out of here!!!
Some 475 people who were in the country illegally or working unlawfully were detained in the operation, immigration officials said. They are being held at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Folkston, Georgia, until the agency decided where to move them next.
Of those detained, 300 are reported to be Korean nationals.
In a statement, Hyundai Motor Company said it was “closely monitoring the situation and working to understand the specific circumstances”.
“As of today, it is our understanding that none of those detained are directly employed by Hyundai,” it said.
Hyundai’s production of electric vehicles at the sprawling site was not affected, Reuters reported. Its partner in its battery joint venture, South Korea’s LG Energy Solutions, had paused construction work at the site.
Videos on social media show agents lining workers up and telling them they have a warrant to search the facility. The agents can also be seen talking to some of the workers in the videos.
South Korea said it was dispatching diplomats to the site in response to the raid and that it had contacted the US embassy in Seoul to urge the US “to exercise extreme caution” when it came to Korean citizens’ rights.
“The economic activities of Korean investment companies and the rights and interests of Korean citizens must not be unfairly infringed upon during US law enforcement operations,” South Korea’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
@4:44 Interesting, Tychicus. Unfortunately, it leaves out or mis-states a few details.
Israel usurped the land using boundaries that were not theirs by any recognized entity other than themselves.
It leaves out the fact that ‘indigenous people’ living there were NOT primarily Jews; Jews were a minority after Muslims and Christians (some of whom have been there for centuries).
And finally, it omits the fact that Israel’s declaration of statehood came only after they had used raw, violent terrorism on a civilian population to ‘encourage’ the exit of British diplomats that were successfully maintaining law and order for ALL people in the region.
Israel’s use of terrorism was so blatantly egregious that one wonders how they have any standing in the international community to complain of Hamas. People who use terrorism should probably forfeit legitimacy (as Hamas has). But apparently, that is not the way it works for Israel.
Former Prime Minister Menachem Begin was the leader of the group directly responsible for the horrific bombing of the King David Hotel—-an act of wanton, unprovoked violence against civilians so horrific that it caused the British to wash their hands of the region permanently. This left the truly indigenous people of the region at the mercy of terrorists. And that’s where they remain.
hmmmm🤷♀️imagine that. The SCOTUS taking “power” away from lower courts!!

JAYAPAL: “Well, my thoughts are that l’m really distressed that the Supreme Court is starting to overturn lower courts. In fact, I was just reading an article where several federal judges are saying, you know, we have also been entrusted with upholding the law. And when the Supreme Court just gives a one sentence overturn of the lower courts, it is essentially taking a lot of power away from the lower courts to rule and centralizing that power in a Supreme Court that people really don’t have faith in.”

If Hamas would release the remaining hostages, then this war would be over. Hamas is the barrier to peace… and always has been.
