    The IDF can be completely trusted for information like how many IDF casualties there are. They cannot be trusted for the kind of information posted on X. The IDF's job is doing what Netanyahu tells them to do. That includes putting out Israeli propaganda. Folks that are die hard supporters of Netanyahu is their target audience. They know that they will believe anything like this that they see regardless of the truth or lack of verification.

    UN spokespersons reported new attacks on aid convoys and food sites in Gaza on September 20 and 21, 2025, they did not specifically confirm Hamas shooting at aid trucks on these dates.

    There's little doubt in my mind that Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. They like having lots of "human shields" around them. They shoot at stuff all the time. That is all true. Nothing can believed coming from them without it being verified. Which the death toll numbers have been verified countless times by many different organizations.

    IDF on the other hand can be better trusted. However the IDF is NOT a news source. Any news article information coming out of the IDF has not gone through journalist validation procedures. Or at least that can't be counted on. Consuming news from reliable news sources is the best way to stay attached to reality. Just because an article or a social media post says something that one wants to believe it should still not be believed unless it is coming from a reliable news source. I know that is not your philosophy but, that is my philosophy.

    So Israel just claimed they were with no evidence? You do see why this is problematic, right?

    There is only one entity that is interested in sabotaging the Aid delivery and it's not Israel.
    You see the point?
    UN confirmed the attacks.

    The famine is obviously a goal of Israel. Some in the Israeli government have even said that they need not let any food at all into Gaza. That's exactly what they did for a few months before the GHF which is what triggered the famine.

    Some steelers are against feeding the enemy.
    But in Gaza it's Hamas who is shooting at UN aid trucks.

    Is this Hamas?

    Per my employment, I’ll be relocating to Israel for a multi-year assignment, working at one of our offices there. I’m not certain whether this site will be accessible from that location. As part of the arrangement, I’ll receive 30 days of annual leave and plan to return to the U.S. once a year.

    Yes, kind of or sometimes. (for this specific example I like "pretty much" as a description) It's actually complicated though. See the article section in here titled, "Relationship with Hamas"

    Almost 460 trucks of humanitarian aid entered Gaza on Sunday
    Israel allowed nearly 460 lorries carrying humanitarian aid to cross into Gaza on Sunday, the Israeli authority responsible for Palestinian affairs said.

    In previous weeks, the daily average had been around 200 trucks, the COGAT agency said on Monday.

    It is not clear whether aid deliveries will continue during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which begins Monday evening. COGAT did not immediately respond to inquiries on this issue.

    "UN Watch claims that Hamas has "hijacked UNRWA’s education through its domination of the local UNRWA staff unions."

    UNRWA turned a blind eye as Hamas terror chiefs held top positions within the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) educational system and promoted terrorism and radicalization, a scathing new report by the watchdog UN Watch has revealed.

    UNRWA raises over $1 billion annually from Western states under the stated aim of educating Palestinian children with values such as peace, tolerance, and universal human rights. However, the report argued that "by knowingly employing Hamas terrorist leaders as school principals and teachers, and by allowing terror chiefs to head the unions that oversee thousands of their teachers, UNRWA didn’t just tolerate extremism, the Western-funded UN agency institutionalized it, turning classrooms into incubators of hate.""

    In my opinion, annexation will require financial commitment, It doesn't need to happen now.
    Israel rather invests in expanding and build new villages and farms.
    In fact, therefore, Israel has established roughly 20 or more new villages/settlements and around 100 farms or agricultural settlements in Judea and Samaria in 2025.
    There will be many more Israelis populating Judea and Samaria.
    It's better than officially annexing, this disputed territory.
    No one in Israel believes to Abbas or calls for 2 states, as soon as Israel remove security posts, thousands or then thousands of militants, or more from multiple countries will flood in to Judea and Samaria, to fight against Israel.
    Israel knows the real intent, of the Palestinians who rejected 1967 borders partition, and statehood because they want all of it.
    It's expected the Israeli population in Judea and Samaria will increase significantly.
