Israel - Palestine Update Thread. No hate. Just updates.

This is the twitter feed of a man I have followed since the Arab Spring. (he is Egyptian)

He has some great insights if anyone is interested.

Iyad El-Baghdadi

Some of his tweets regarding the 'press conferance'

Al Qassam statement summary: You started it, we aren't firing rockets blindly or targeting civilians, we're ready for you. #Gaza #Israel

I think people in #Gaza were expecting news about a cease fire or a truce with good terms, but there was nothing of that. #Israel

And after that disappointing statement and anticlimactic video, back to your regularly scheduled bombardment. #Gaza #Israel

After the last tweet I listed someone sent him this and he retweeted:

@iyad_elbaghdadi then you didn't really understand exactly what was shown in that video - home made M75 SAMs - Surface to Air Missiles

Bigoted? Really? Chill out dude. Go to another thread if you cannot smile from time to time

That must be the point of the video, and maybe even the suprise. It's not what they shot down, it's that they have the capability...

Relax fella. Yes people are dying, yes it is horrible, however if we can find a way to smile in the midst of it then so be it.

I cant find any reason to smile about any of this.

There are other threads that may welcome that but this isnt one of them.

Please be considerate of this threads title.

Does anyone have sound on RT, or is it just me? There was sound when that guy was on there talking but now it seems to be gone.

I have been watch this all day myself, just because I am not making bigoted comments on this thread does not mean I have not been watching and the title of the thread states no hate, go back through your comments.

I have been at it since almost the start. I was also just stating based on the quality of the video, what they claim to have shot down may as well have been a UFO.

edit on 17-11-2012 by DragonFire1024 because: (no reason given)

That's why I asked:

where, who?

I couldnt see anything in the air. Could you?

There hasn't been sound from RT for hours.

I had stepped out of the room during the 'masked man' part. Did I miss something or was it just nonsense?

I'm not sure, he seemed angry but I couldn't understand what he was saying and the audio was horrible. I have no idea what he said but am sure it was important.

So on this RT link:
rt.com...://fml.3443.edgecastcdn.net/203443/&type=rtmp&file=en-stream.flv&abouttext=Russia

I keep seeing flashes in the distance on the horizon, so are those explosions?

Also, during daylight footage we can see a huge city but in the nighttime video feeds we see light in just the foreground and darkness in the distance, so do we know what percentage of Gaza is with and without power?

Is there any word on relief coming in? Medical supplies and food for the people?

What about the roads that were to be opened from Egypt?

Are the hospitals still available to receive wounded in Egypt as they promised yesterday?

What about water supply?

Haaretz.com: Shots fired at IDF vehicle in the #GolanHeights near #Israel - #Syria border, IDF fires back over border twitter.com...

Seems the RT feed was disconnected? or is it just me?

Just one example of your contribution to the thread, I dunno how you are so at ease with people dying, maybe I have morals but it is a lot better than having none.

ah the supreme perfection, apparently you should be a judge or at least some spiritual guru. Obviously your sinless
