And Blinken wants to appease them so they can get more. His naive appeasement is getting absurd.

That was from an anonymous source, is there a better source than that. Israel, from what I read, usually greatly limits all supplies to the Palestinians, even in the best of times. They also limit their water supply, movement, etc. Did the anonymous source mention that?

I never trust anonymous sources, especially when one side is trying to win favor over the other.

at least it isn't from like Daily beast or even Israeli times. which would be pretty obvious.

If NBC is comfortable presenting it, they must have, hope they have, decent sources.

Besides, we all know Hamas has been getting their stuff from 'somewhere' all this time. It sounds like a pretty standard thing to do in wartime, hoard your resources to continue to fight. Not too controversial. I am sure they are counting their bullets, food, and rockets for the long haul. I would.

I think even if there was a cease fire/pause it wouldn't change the outcome. Israel is that much more powerful. It may even mean more deaths as the civilians who smartly evacuated may wander back during an extended pause.

So they're supposedly hoarding thousands of gallons of fuel for their rockets?
I don't doubt Hamas is using fuel for nefarious purposes, but last time I checked they didn't have diesel rockets.
Most of their rockets are homemade using something like the fertilizer and sugar like we made when we were kids.
If they had said the fuel was used for vehicles that transported rockets, I'd buy that story. But that doesn't sound as exciting, does it.
Whatever source this reporter had should be discredited

It has been claimed for the last few weeks that fuel is running out in a matter of hours, yet it has not. Looks like Hamas has had its own Hanukah miracle lol.

The info was verified by NBC News, which is hardly a right wing outfit. These are facts whether you like them or not.

That is really funny in a twisted way.





Where are they getting the fuel, water and food? If Israel was smart they wouldn't waste another drop of blood and just lay siege to Gaza. Blockade the country and starve them out until they turn over the leaders of Hamas so they can be put on a world trial for their war crimes.

NBC also reported that Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza..and Russian collusion...and Hunter's laptop was "Russian disinformation"..

Any aid you bring to the Palestinians Hamas will steal. As far as I am concerned they shouldn't get anything until every last hostage is released. Nothing!
