What a mess.
This should be a valuable learning experience for the world.
Gaza is now the very epitome of what you get when a terrorist organization is in charge of a large group of land and people who hate their neighbors more than they love their own children.

Anyone know what this means?

Israel pounds Gaza City, 123 dead in last 24 hours

[...same old same old; but at the end of the article:]

Hamas says it is ready to quit Gaza governance for a non-partisan technocratic entity agreed by all Palestinian parties.

"Technocratic entity"? What's that mean? It sounds like the Borg, haha.

The similarities between the Borg and Islamists is undeniable.
AI programmed by jihadis.

Islam= Submit
Borg= Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated
Fascinating.

Yes yes I get your point of view haha

But I was wondering if that was refering to Qutar?

Anyway "technocratic" seemed a weird way to put it. Like, that's the contrast? Not "democratic" or "secular" or even "neutral"?

Edit: Or maybe "technocratic" is code for "controlled by Western interests"?

Looks like they can close that Jira ticket!

Anyone with X want to give it a try and see what it says? Apparently it's in flux.

Genocide usually involves population decline.
Gaza has more people in it now than it did on October 7th, 2023.

I wonder of deliberate targetting of children could best be described as self defence against terrorism or evidence of genocidal activity?

Western DWB (Doctors Without Borders) medics are returning from Gaza and reporting that they see Israeli soldiers using Palestinian children as target practice. One day the gunshot wounds in the children arriving at hospital are clustered in the head. The next day in the chest. The next day in the abdomen. The next day in the genitals.

Horrific scenes

Now we know why those journalists were killed. Will Doctors Without Borders be the next target? Can't have any independent witnesses.

Neither side is innocent in this.  I will say I feel bad for the children on both sides born into this mess.  And I find it funny that all the Islamic countries in the region doesn't want the Palestinians either, the West has taken in more refugees than their neighbors.  Doesn't make sense.

I say Egypt (or Jordan) take in the Palestinians and let Israel take the rest.  Hopefully that's where it ends.
