Rafah Crossing is supposed to be inspected by the U.N. If Israel is not part of the inspection I would say it is not secure.

Aid must be inspected, Egypt raises its concerns
On a brief trip to Israel this week, President Biden had worked to convince Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to allow in aid.

Both countries have expressed concerns: Israel sought assurances that Hamas would not divert aid or use the trucks to smuggle in weapons, asking that U.N. workers inspect trucks before they entered Gaza. Egypt has said it will refuse the mass displacement of Palestinian refugees across its border.



As of Friday, a total of about 200 trucks are waiting on the Egyptian side of the border, according to the U.N., with yet more aid stockpiled in the Egyptian city of El-Arish, about 30 miles from the Gaza border.

Earlier on Friday, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, who arrived at the Egyptian side of the border crossing, described the aid as "the difference between life and death" for people in Gaza and urged inspections to be loosened.

"Those verifications need to be done in a way that is practical and in a way that is expedited," Guterres said.

Well, looks like UC Davis is a cow college again, only this time the cow is a trans terrorist-lover. You can imagine how proud that makes me as a UCD alumnus-sort-of. Did my medicine residency through UCD, two kids graduated from there, lived in the town for 20 years.
The chancellor condemned the post but is "investigating" the "professor". She professes a hope that Jews will be found and murdered. She is inciting murder.

Decristo is second male-to-female transgender professor to make headlines this week for vitriolic statements against Jews

A University of California professor came under fire Thursday for a social media post that appears to threaten extreme violence in the U.S. against journalists reporting on Israel — and their children.

UC Davis Professor Jemma Decristo posted on X on Oct. 10: “one group of ppl we have easy access to in the US is all these zionist journalists who spread propaganda and misinformation … they have houses w addresses, kids in school, they can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.”

The post ended with a knife emoji, an ax emoji, and three red drops of blood.

The post was made just a few days after deadly terrorist attacks against Israel by Hamas that killed more than 1,100 civilians, including women and children.

Decristo is also listed as a faculty undergraduate advisor. The professor’s post was screenshot and spread quickly on social media this week.

“Hey @ucdavis, do you think it’s appropriate that one of your faculty advisors, @jemmaisOKeh, is publicly threatening to murder Jews at their homes and their children at their schools,” posted Jason Bedrick, a research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation.


Decristo is an assistant professor of American Studies at the public school. The professor is transgender and was previously called Jeramy Decristo. According to their faculty bio, Decristo’s “focus is on the interplay between sound, race, gender and embodiment.”

Conservative activist Christopher Rufo pointed out the university has taken down the professor’s profile.


In a statement to the California Globe, a UC Davis spokesperson said campus leaders “reject all forms of violence and discrimination, as they are antithetical to the values of our university. We strive to foster a climate of equity and justice built on mutual understanding and respect for all members of the community.”

Decristo is the second male-to-female transgender professor to make headlines this week for vitriolic statements against Jews. Mika Tosca, a transgender associate professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, also made news for a post on social media that stated Israelis are “pigs” and “savages” and they should “all rot in hell.”

Globe writer Ken Kurson wrote “we’ve got a trans woman who would surely face torture or death in Gaza, siding with those who attacked not the Israeli army or even its civilian infrastructure, but children and grandmothers and concert goers.”

“This is the sickness of Intersectionality,” Kurson argued. “The entire moral compass is based not on any recognizable calculus of appropriate behavior. Whoever is perceived as poor and powerless is automatically virtuous, whoever is perceived as rich and powerful is a candidate for butchering.”

According to Twitter and unconfirmed reports that the crew of USS Gerald Ford was served steak and lobster for dinner tonight.

"Rumors are circulating that the crew on USS Gerald R. Ford in Eastern Mediterranean (near Israel and Lebanon), enjoyed a fancy steak & lobster dinner.

This dinner is usually saved for special events or morale-impacting news like a potential deployment extension or undisclosed developments.

Could this indicate the increasing likelihood of a war between Israel and Hezbollah, and the involvement of the U.S?"

The Israel Defense Forces will increase airstrikes on Gaza "from today," IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said Saturday.

“We will increase our strikes, minimize the risk to our troops in the next stages of the war, and we will intensify the strikes, starting from today," Hagari told reporters during a briefing in Tel Aviv.

When asked whether Israel has halted a ground operation in Gaza due to US pressure, Hagari said the Israeli military would launch such an operation when the conditions for the military are optimal.


"We continue to destroy terror targets ahead of the next stage of the war, and are focusing on our readiness to the next stage," he added.

The Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) responded: "At the request of the US government, humanitarian aid including only water, food, and medical equipment was brought into the southern Gaza Strip through the Rafah Crossing in Egypt."

"All of the equipment was checked before it entered Gaza. We emphasize that Israel has the ability to ensure that nothing was brought in or out other than the items mentioned above."

Sooo, were they checked for weapons, or were they NOT checked for weapons? Roll Eyes


Egypt wanted their weapons back.

not sure how to link this video

https://www.foxnews.com/live-n...-21-israel-hamas-war

video at Fox News reviews video of Hamas militant's interrogation by Israeli military

interview w Trey ?

He says he saw a video of an Israeli interrogator talking to a captured Hamas terrorist who was part of 7 Oct

The Hamas terrorists were told they were on a suicide mission, they were not coming back.

Their commanders told them to do whatever they wanted to do.

Hamas militants were told by their commanders to behead and step on the heads of civilians, the Israeli Military said, citing an interrogation of a Hamas militant

The Hamas militant said they became animals during the Oct. 7 attack, doing things that humans don't do.

According to the Israeli military, the Hamas militant said that videos of the attack were shared in a Telegram group during the Oct. 7 attack while people were still being killed.

Some of the details shared by the Hamas militant are too graphic to describe.

Not a surprise, a good share of those schools are well over 50% Muslim.

Yep. A good buddy I was in the service with grew up there and we used to spend a lot of time over there. It was starting to get bad back in the 80s. Can't imagine what it's like now.

Israel last night vowed to cut off 'the head of the snake' and launch a military attack against Iran if Tehran-backed terror group Hezbollah joins the war.

In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Nir Barkat, Israel's Minister of Economy, warned that Iran's Ayatollahs will be 'wiped off the face of the earth' should Hezbollah, their proxy terror group in Lebanon, attack Israel.

His incendiary comments raise the grave spectre of a rapidly escalating regional conflict and come ahead of an expected Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza Strip to 'annihilate' Hamas.

fears are growing that Israel could be forced to fight on two fronts, with Hezbollah and the Israel Defence Forces last week repeatedly trading fire across Israel's northern border with Lebanon.

In a direct threat to deter Tehran from intervening further, Mr Barkat warned that not only would Israel 'eliminate Hezbollah', if it believes the terror group is opening up a 'northern front', but 'we will actually target Iran.'

'The plan of Iran is to attack Israel on all fronts. If we find they intend to target Israel, we will not just retaliate to those fronts, but we will go to the head of the snake, which is Iran.

The Ayatollahs in Iran are not going to sleep good at night, we are going to make sure they pay a heavy price if, God forbid, they open the northern front.

'Lebanon and Hezbollah are going to pay a heavy price, similar to what Hamas is going to pay. But that's not enough.

'The very clear message is that we are going to be going after the heads of Iran as well. When will we do that? When we decide.

The 7 Oct Hamas attack with about 1500 to 2000 suicide attackers doing the most terrible atrocities, might have been to trigger Israel to invade Gaza.
Then inflame the Arab world by claiming Israel atrocities. Next up, Hezbollah to the north. Things could go to full blown wide spread war very quickly. The U.S. looks weak w biden

Israel's threat may very well prevent an escalation, because I think the Iranians know that Israel is serious, and they are more determined than any time in the last fifty years.

There is no mistaking the meaning of this threat by Israel and I contend that in all the pages of this thread, you'll not find a more significant statement than this.

If Israel finds itself backed into a corner, they may very well use nuclear weapons on Iran, and though I support Israel's right to defend itself and survive, Israel will face worldwide condemnation if their hand is forced.

In all the talk in all these pages, pay the closest attention to Israel's statement regarding its intent if pushed. The insane fanatics in Iran may bring about their own deaths and the deaths of many of their people, and the world should be holding its breath right now.

Perhaps I am overestimating the situation, but I have the strongest feeling that we are at a critical juncture.

We have never been closer to nuclear weapons being used since they actually were. Even the Cuban missile crisis was posturing and testing by comparison; MAD was a deterrent both sides knew would spell the end for everyone involved in a nuclear exchange. Israel’s collective back is against the wall and hearing calls for their death globally in even western nations isn’t helping.
