Israel’s top officials are openly declaring that they intend to terminate the Gaza ceasefire after they get their hostages back.
Defense Minister Israel Katz (pictured above) has posted a tweet in Hebrew which machine translates as follows:
“Israel’s great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas’s terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States. This is the primary significance of implementing the agreed-upon principle of demilitarizing Gaza and neutralizing Hamas of its weapons. I have instructed the IDF to prepare for carrying out the mission.”
Hamas has not agreed to any demilitarization or destruction of its tunnels. There is no way to demilitarize Gaza and neutralize Hamas of its weapons against their will without continued warfare, something Israel has demonstrated it cannot do without killing shocking numbers of civilians.

Katz’s comments echo the public statements of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said in a televised speech on Friday that “Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be demilitarized,” and that if Hamas doesn’t disarm voluntarily then “it will be achieved the hard way.”
In another statement Netanyahu said, “We have achieved tremendous victories but the campaign is not over; part of our enemies are trying to recover.”
Israeli outlet YNet reports that Israel is planning to resume its blockade and prevent reconstruction if all the bodies of the deceased captives are not returned, when Israel already knows that Hamas probably won’t be able to locate all the bodies of deceased Israeli captives due to the intensity of the Israeli bombing campaign over the last two years.
“If Hamas does not cooperate with the return process, and Israel suspects that it is deliberately hiding the bodies in order to preserve them as a bargaining chip, it is expected to impose a series of sanctions on it — including preventing the reconstruction of the Strip, the entry of caravans, the opening of bakeries and the entry of civilian equipment,” Ynet reports.
In a recent article titled “Israel assesses Hamas may not be able to return all remaining dead hostages,” CNN reports that “Sources say the Israeli government is aware that Hamas may not know the location of, or is unable to retrieve, the remains of some of the 28 remaining deceased hostages.”
As noted by Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, these two pieces of information would seem to indicate that Israel is planning to use the unreturned bodies as a pretext to break the ceasefire

It is perhaps somewhat noteworthy that Israel’s open preparations to resume the onslaught in Gaza directly contradict the statements of the president of the United States.
Asked by the press about Netanyahu’s refusal to say that the “war” in Gaza is over, Trump forcefully stated, “The war is over. The war is over, okay? You understand that?”
Trump suggested (without stating outright) that he has received “verbal guarantees” from Israel that the violence will not resume.
So here we have Israeli officials openly and explicitly saying that the attacks on Gaza have not ended, and the U.S. president saying that they have. It’s not often you see these two governments directly contradicting each other with mutually exclusive positions in ways that will necessarily be proven or disproven by the events which follow.
So I guess we’re about to find out who has ultimately been in charge of the Gaza genocide this whole time.

Uproar as Man takes down England flags in UK city as ‘racism’ row erupts
Story by Toby Codd A man has taken down St George’s and Union flags in his neighbourhood after a local woman told him she felt like she did “not feel she belonged” in the area.
Migrant Salman Mirza, 58, has removed four flags in Bearwood, West Midlands, as he claims they make non-white migrants feel unwelcome in the country.
Flags have been appearing across the UK in recent months as Operation Raise the Colours sweeps the country. Those responsible for putting them up claim they are motivated by patriotism while others fear the flags are provocative at a time when tensions are high over the unwanted mass immigration. Some local councils have since taken down flags which has sparked fury among local communities. Mr Mirza, a left wing pro-migrant activist, believes the flags promote anti-immigrant feelings
RACISM
what can be more racist that importing in masses of foreign nationals putting them up in hotels
giving them free health and dental treatment etc
all payed for my us,
The government are people trafficking racists
For years israhell was slaughtering the pwoor little brownskins. During all that time, the governments of the world ignored it. trump, the peace president, threatened total annihilation countless times. netanscumlord did the same, as did the dictators in france, germany and the jew-k. Then, suddenly, everyone is all about peace. Does this seem likely to you? At the same time, all these peace loving vermin are threatening war with iran, russia, china and anyone else with more money than they have. Let’s have dear little greta sailing another millionaire’s yacht towards those countries telling us all about the “tragedy” of the filth of the world running every corner of it and enslaving anyone they can’t kill.
Hotel worker stabbed 23 times by asylum seeker at rail station, murder trial told
Story by Matthew Cooper, PA • 2h • 3 min read An asylum seeker was seen dancing and laughing after stabbing a hotel worker
more than 20 times on a railway station platform and leaving her for dead, a murder trial jury has heard.
Deng Chol Majek was “clearly excited about what he had done” after inflicting a total of 23 stab wounds on Rhiannon Skye Whyte,
mainly to her head, at Walsall’s Bescot Stadium station, Wolverhampton Crown Court was told.
JUST SEND THEM HOME, GOT IT ?
Always remember, Israel and Netanyahu created and funds Hamas. Without the boogey man Hamas how could Israel slaughter the natives?
Israel must have Hamas and hostages for what happened. Just think about it.
Trump can stop Israel any time by withholding funding. Think about it.
Israel is a parasitic welfare state, the entire nation is dependent on Amerikan tax slave funds. Every bomb, missile, aircraft, AA, comes from Amerika for free.
This whole Trumpenyahu cease fire is a pre-calculated psyop. The war will continue, huge protests in Israel about the hostages. They took an intermission to quell dissent amongst the Israelis.
Israeli ministers will now continue the slaughter. They want the dead Israeli hostages back, well how can that be, since they have no electricity to refrigerate the dead?
PARENTING CARE SCHEMES
migrants and foreign criminals detained in a new deportation centre will be allowed to do taxpayer-funded paid work and attend art classes, and a fully equipped gymn documents have revealed.
The £260m, eight-year contract also guarantees that detained migrants are entitled to the same “range and quality” of NHS treatment as is available to the general public.
They will have access to a gym with induction lessons, a cultural kitchen to cook their own meals, a library and resource centre, as well as a shop where they can spend their £5 weekly pocket money.
The request for brothel tokens was refused, but is under review
The new detention centre at Gatwick airport comes as the Government ramps up deportations, having returned more than 35,000 failed asylum seekers, foreign criminals homosexuals socialists and other immigration offenders in its first year.
Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, criticised the centre.
He told The Telegraph: “This is madness. Illegal immigrants should be on the first plane out, not getting art classes or free clothes. Taxpayers’ money is being wasted on this nonsense.
“The Conservatives plan to come out of the ECHR [European Court of Human Rights] to enable the urgent deportation of 150,000 criminal immigrants each year. The Government must stop messing around with woke nonsense and concentrate on deporting those with no right to be here.”
The parenting care scheme is now in many areas where parents drop off children to a house nearby where that parent will escort
a bunch of children safely to school and home, migrants have complained about this
“Trump suggested (without stating outright) that he has received “verbal guarantees” from Israel that the violence will not resume.” Hardy har har … “guarantees” from the Jew are about as binding and lasting as scrawling something with your finger in a tub of piss. Anyone who would believe for a second that the Jew would honor any agreement with a non-jew is terminally f*ckign stupid.
We had some family over for dinner a couple of weeks ago. The mother of my better half is, unfortunately, a deranged bibletard to the core and a dumber than dog shit Baptist. She kept sputtering brainwashed simpleton nonsense with, “Scripture says…” blah blah f*cking blah… I got particularly irritated when she vomited out anything having to do with the Ol’ Festerment Book of Bullshit and tried to set her straight, but there’s no point trying to reason with the deranged. Anyway, at some point I tried to impart some life advice to my girl’s son, who has become basically a stepson to me. That advice was, “Kid, don’t EVER trust a guy in a yarmulke”, and I explained why.
