1. Trump suggests fewer than 20 hostages remain alive; families demand new information
https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-suggests-fewer-than-20-hostages-remain-alive-families-demand-new-information/
Extracts:
"The 20 is actually probably not 20 because a couple of them are not around any longer," US president says; Israeli hostage envoy insists "no change" in figures
US President Donald Trump indicated during a press conference in the Oval Office on Friday that fewer than 20 hostages held by terror groups in Gaza are still alive, sparking despair from the families of the captives and a denial from Israel�s hostage point man.
Speaking to reporters in the White House, Trump took credit for the release of hostages during the last ceasefire deal between January and March, decried Hamas's 'extortion,' and spoke about efforts to bring the final group of captives back home.
"So now they have 20," he said, "but the 20 is actually probably not 20 because a couple of them are not around any longer."
Israel has long stated that terror groups in the Gaza Strip are holding 50 hostages, including 49 of the 251 abducted by Hamas-led terrorists on October 7, 2023. They include the bodies of at least 28 confirmed dead by the IDF. Twenty are believed to be alive, and there are grave concerns for the well-being of two others, Israeli officials have said. Hamas is also holding the body of an IDF soldier killed in Gaza in 2014.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2. Losses in Battle. How many?
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 62,000 people in the Strip have been killed or are presumed dead in the fighting so far, though the toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed over 22,000 combatants in battle as of August and another 1,600 terrorists inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza's civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.
Israel's toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip stands at 459. The toll includes two police officers and three Defense Ministry civilian contractors.
Israel lost ca. 2000 (mainly civilians including women and children) in the initial onslaught from Gaza.

3. Is it true that UNRWA = Hamas?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/02/16/unrwa-video-oct-7-israel/
The Washington Post presented a video in which an official employee of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNRWA) was seen abducting the body of an Israeli from the entrance to Kibbutz Bari.
An expert was quoted, stating that the same employee's vehicle appeared in other videos from the massacre.
The identity of 12 agency employees who participated in the massacre, was revealed, and similar information about 30 other workers is at hand.
The documentation revealed by the Washington Post shows how the UNRWA worker, Faisal Ali Muslim Naami, stops his car near several bodies that were lying in the kibbutz, and together with another terrorist, loads one of them into the car.
Additional intelligence information show that more than 30 UNRA employees actively participated in the massacre, and assisted in the kidnapping of civilians and soldiers.
In addition, 12% of the 13,000 UNRWA employees in Gaza are connected to the terrorist organizations Hamas.

4. Israeli Streamer Exposes Receipts Proving Tucker Carlson Is PAID By Qatar!

The receipts are out.
The truth is now public.
You are being funded by Qatar. And that is why you have turned
into such an anti-semitic, anti-Israel mouthpiece,
Saudia Today.
What Qatar is doing now with academia by buying up universities etc, Saudia began more than 50 years ago in the USA.
Citizens of Saudi Arabia carried out the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
5. Saudia backs the PLO but is against Hamas.
# In addition, the Saudi royal family itself occupies an unusual role. In one sense, the royal family, with its tens of thousands of princes is not the government. However, the family's and the government's finances are interwoven, and if a prince supports a group it has an unofficial imprimatur of approval. King Salman himself, for example, helped raise money for the mujahedin in Afghanistan and the Balkans.
The United States sold the Kingdom almost $100 billion in arms during the Obama administration.
Saudia today radiates moderation, economic prosperity, regional stability.
Saudi has the same goals as Hamas but is more concerned with a long-range approach.
Saudi television programs discuss the dangers of Muslim Brotherhood ideology.
Saudis make a distinction between religious extremism and nationalism, rejecting the former but welcoming the latter. Since Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's ascendance to power the government stopped funding pan-Islamist causes overseas.
Saudia stands for the continuation of Saudi ruling houses, survival, prosperity, the peaceful spread of Islam as a religion and strict adherence to it.
Nevertheless, Saudia still supports the spread of Islam in the west and seeks the ultimate decline of the west.
The Saudis are not moderates by western standards. They believe in the most extreme types of anti-Jewish Propaganda and help spread them.
The recent upsurge in Right-Wing anti-Jewish pseudo-intellectual writings may be tapping in to Saudia resources.

Contrary to Present Understanding DNA haplogroups were bequeathed on whole groups when changes in the environment required it. This is analogous to a virus infecting a whole group by passing from one body to another. Why are all the DNA haplogroup types of Cro-Magnon Man also those known from modern human populations? Either DNA Haplogroups are haphazard under certain circumstances (such as being fat, or thin, short, or tall) OR the Cro-Magnon People were not a separate race which conclusion is counter-intuitive. It does not add up. The logical conclusion is that DNA haplotypes appear as inherited attributes but may come and go suddenly over whole populations of people according to historical need and location.

7. 'Tailor-made for Hamas': Israel slams IPC report declaring famine in Gaza
Both the Foreign Ministry and COGAT issued statements condemning the United Nations' IPC reports of famine in Gaza, claiming it "changed its own global standard."
https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-865017
Extracts:
"Unbelievably, the IPC twisted its own rules and ignored its own criteria just to produce false accusations against Israel: the IPC changed its own global standard, cutting the 30% threshold to 15% for this report only, and totally ignored its second criterion of death rate, solely to serve Hamas's fake campaign," the ministry wrote.
