Summary (BBC)​

  1. The UN's agency looking after Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says it could be forced to end operations in the Gaza Strip “as of tomorrow night” if more fuel doesn't arrive
  2. People in Gaza would face more misery if it was forced to wind up its work, a spokeswoman told the BBC

Jordan's Queen Rania criticises 'double standard'​

Queen Rania of Jordan has condemned Western media coverage of the war in Israel and Gaza, saying there is a "glaring double standard” in how it covers attacks on Palestinian and Jewish communities.
“It has been very disappointing to see the double standards in the world today, to see the strong condemnation of what happened on 7 October but very little condemnation of what is happening today,” she told CNN in an interview from Amman that aired on Tuesday.
“Why isn't there a call for an immediate ceasefire? We are seeing staggering human suffering happening today, so why is the narrative always skewed towards the Israeli side?" continued the monarch.
“We are being told that it is wrong to kill a family, an entire family at gunpoint, but it’s okay to shell them to death… . And it is just shocking to the Arab world,” she said.
She later added: “This is the first time in modern history that there is such human suffering, and the world is not even calling for a ceasefire. So the silence is deafening.”

Calls for ceasefire are growing rapidly, and the mainstream media has noticed. - JVP

There is not a double standard. Israel just suffered a terrorist attack equal to 38k U.S. citizen being slaughtered.

Ceasefire: Biden and Blinken have said they support a pause, but not a ceasefire because that action hurts Israel.

News should be better for Israel because they are responding yo be attacked. Of course you are being told it is wrong to kill a family.

Ceasefire, great idea. That will commence immediately upon the release of Israeli civilian hostages being held by Hamas. What's that? Hamas isn't interested in releasing the hostages? Oh, well, I guess we continue. They've hoarded all the fuel supplies sent by aid groups? They dug up all the water lines that were freely given to improve sanitation conditions and made rockets out of them? I won't hold my breath that the organization responsible for those actions (and far worse) is who we're relying on for honorable negotiations in a ceasefire.

If she really cares about a ceasefire, tell Hamas to return the hostages. War stops tomorrow.

This is like the same BS as Russia/Ukraine. "Why won't Ukraine agree to a ceasefire?" Literally all Russia has to do is leave and there is peace. What's that? They won't leave? Well, I guess we continue.
 
House just approved by a 412 to 10 vote a resolution supporting Israel and demanding Hamas release all hostages.

Squad members Tlaib, Bush, AOC, and Omar along with Bowman, voted against the resolution condemning the terrorist group.

There are very few parallels between the Ukrainian Situation versus the Israeli/Palestinian situation. Saying otherwise is trying to drive a square peg into a round hole and is misguided at best.

Symmetric warfare with an imperialistic invading power is very different than asymmetric terrorism by a group comprised by stateless people.
