There is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Hamas is causing it

noun an item or story published or broadcast by only one source.

I guess no other news sources thought it was worth reporting on

Merry Christmas!

How is this "Exclusive"? it's a publicly available document, and they even say so:

An identical document appears on the Israeli government’s website.

There is legitimate criticism of Israeli military censorship, but this ain't it

5 is referring to rocket attacks against Israeli infrastructure

Also that in order to exploit this it requires an active man in the middle. Which requires any of the following:

• Reverse proxy hijack/NAT hijack - from a compromised machine near the server
• BGP hijack - stealing traffic to the real IP
• DNS hijack - stealing traffic to send to a different IP
• Malicious/compromised network transit
• Local network gateway control
• WAP poisoning - wifi roaming is designed really well so this is actually easier than it sounds.

Almost all of those have decent mitigations like 801.x and BGP monitoring. The best mitigation is that you can just change your client config to disable those ciphersuites though.

If the set of definitions contains the word set, does the English language implode in a recursive cascade of paradoxes?

I wouldn't say fully dependent - there's local labor who are willing to step up especially in the face of the economic downturn of a war. More importantly, foreign labor is legally entitled to the same minimum wage as Israelis - this was historically exploited through various loopholes such that many Thai workers are receiving around 80% of minimum wage. Even in the face of a pricing shock, local food markets should reach equilibrium quickly, and Israel has avoided food subsidies outside of a handful of regulated products (basic white bread, milk, eggs, hard cheese). I don't foresee food security being an issue in Israel to the point they need to import food outside of stabilizing local prices or ensuring seasonal availability.

Palestinians won't be going to work inside Israel for a very long time. The US is trying to push that one through, but I think that's one they'll push back hard on - if you were Israeli, would you want to work with someone who supported what happened on October 7th?

Ranked 30th in the world by active military personnel. Ranked 13th in the world by reservists. Wikipedia

Most of the military aid goes towards purchasing Iron Dome interceptors at the moment - it's a uniquely bad idea to stop those from being delivered. The rest is containers full of random plastic crap like lunch trays - US foreign aid to Israel is actually a jobs program for states like Ohio in a way that minimizes the macroeconomic impact on the US.

Here's the short list of Channel 12 articles this could potentially be referring to:

• The cry of a resident of Gaza in front of the cameras: "Hamas steals all the aid" (Google Translate)
• "Sinwar, may Allah take revenge on you - release the abductees": Gaza residents make extraordinary statements against the Hamas leadership (Google Translate)
• The rage in Gaza about UNRA: the residents discovered - the warehouses are full of food and equipment that were not distributed (Google Translate)

Considering the reporting is largely pulling Al Jazeera and Gazan news sources, I'm inclined to believe this is both truthful and accurate but likely to be cherry-picked. Today's live blog includes images/video of large crowds outside UNRWA warehouses demanding to be allowed in, which if accurate would explain why Gazans are losing faith in Hamas.

The link works just fine for me.

Which lemmy client are you using?

The title of the linked article is "Israel moves into Gaza’s second-largest city and intensifies strikes in bloody new phase of the war", which appears to have been appended to the post URL: https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-news-12-05-2023-8f171da297b565e28156b88d1fc250b1 Israel moves into Gaza's second-largest city and intensifies strikes in bloody new phase of the war

Different things.

This article is about Biden saying that women were raped on October 7th.

The article you linked is about hostages being raped while they were being held in Gaza.

EDIT: the motivation of the IDF to publish that is to maximize the chances of the hostages coming back alive - if Hamas feel the hostages might do more damage after being released by confirming claims such as rape or sexual assault, the worry is that they will simply execute them.

totally dependent on aid from the West.

I think you're wrong about this. Israel is a net-exporter economically and grows its own food. Although admittedly, the majority was being grown in the region around Gaza and there are reports that many crops went unharvested.

This article has been removed by AP - the URL links to the live update stream from Dec 6th, and links from other articles to this one are similarly broken.

Was this article formally retracted?

Technically incorrect headline.

There are still 137 hostages being held in Gaza by various groups - who have not been seen by the ICRC in accordance with international law or the terms of the temporary truce. Among those, there are 12 hostages aged 18 and 19.

They haven't even released all of the kids - Shiri Bibas and her children: Ariel aged 4 and Kfir aged 10 months old.

From first principles, the goal of imprisonment is threefold:

1. As punishment
2. To protect society from the risk of recidivism
3. To provide them with a stable environment to provide them with assistance aimed towards reducing recidivism.

Terrorists are motivated by ideology and without significant intervention are basically guaranteed to have 100% chance of repeating their acts.

I don't think keeping them in prison forever is a solution, but neither is sticking them in there for 10 years, clearly.

From Ynet:

The two terrorists who opened fire at the entrance to Jerusalem arrived in the same vehicle, and were neutralized by two soldiers and a civilian who were nearby. They were later identified as two brothers from Sur Baher in East Jerusalem - Ibrahim Nemer, 30, and Murad Nemer, 38. During a police search of the terrorists' vehicle, cartridges and a lot of ammunition were found.

According to Times of Israel, they were previously jailed for terrorism:

Murad was jailed from 2010 to 2020 for planning terror attacks under the direction of terror elements in the Gaza Strip, according to the Shin Bet.

Ibrahim was jailed in 2014 for undisclosed terror activity, the agency says.

The only instance of this I can recall off the top of my head is PIJ claiming that Hanna Katzir was killed. Hamas have not publicly announced the death of any hostages in ways that have been confirmed or reported by respectable journalists, but there is lots of propaganda being spread through Telegram and other platforms.

There is a big difference between the international group and the local affiliate. The families would for sure accept an ICRC official telling them "your son/daughter is still alive. I saw them myself this morning". I'm not sure the families would accept the same from a PRCS employee without further proof.

The pictures of the hostages being released are pretty clear it's ICRC red cross, not PRCS that are handling that part at a minimum.

The deal text itself is not public to the best of my knowledge, so there's nothing to really go on.

Did you read that article?

When an Israeli citizen purchases an apartment or house, ownership of the land remains with the ILA, which leases it to the purchaser for a period of 49 years, enabling the registration of the home ("tabu"). Article 19 of the ILA lease specifies that a foreign national cannot lease - much less own - ILA land.

... Non-Jewish foreigners cannot purchase apartments. This group includes Palestinians from the east of the city, who have Israeli identity cards but are residents rather than citizens of Israel.

The article also says they can freely rent apartments wherever they want (as noncitizen residents), and that the law isn't widely applied meaning that if they did go to purchase it would likely just happen anyways. So for that population of 360k or so people life is more complicated by not being Israeli citizens yet living inside Israel but it's a far stretch from what you're claiming.
