  1. Yes, but when I look at news sites it always mentions Palestine firing first...
  2. I found this on BBC news Hamas gunmen launched an unprecedented assault on Israel from the Gaza Strip on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking about 240 hostages. The Israeli military responded with air strikes on Gaza, and launched a ground offensive. More than 14,800 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run government. A pause in fighting to allow the exchange of hostages for Palestinian held in Israeli prisons has been extended again. What is the goal of Israel's military operation in Gaza? Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warplanes have been carrying out strikes across Gaza while its troops have been moving through the north of the territory. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel has a "clear goal of destroying Hamas's military and governing capabilities", as well as freeing the hostages. He has also declared that Israel will have "overall security responsibility" for the Gaza Strip "for an indefinite period" after the conflict, but Israel later said it has no plans to reoccupy the territory. Israel has drafted 300,000 reservists for the operation, to boost its standing force of 160,000. The IDF says it has struck thousands of targets belonging to Hamas - which Israel, the UK, US and other Western powers class as a terrorist organisation. The IDF also says it has destroyed hundreds of tunnel shafts built underneath Gaza. Hamas has claimed that its tunnel network stretches for 500km (310 miles). Israel claims to have killed thousands of Hamas fighters during the war, including many commanders. More than 390 Israeli soldiers have been killed, most of them in the 7 October attack. BBC goes inside Al-Shifa hospital with the Israeli army Bowen: Why this Israel-Gaza war is different Who are the hostages and how is the ceasefire working? During the 7 October attacks,Hamas took about 240 hostages, which it said were hidden in "safe places and tunnels" within Gaza. Israel said more than 30 of the hostages were children, and that at least 10 were aged over 60. It also said about half of the hostages had foreign passports from 25 different countries. Under a deal brokered by Qatar, a four-day pause in the fighting began on Friday 24 November, during which Hamas agreed to release 50 Israeli women and children. In return, Israel agreed to release 150 imprisoned Palestinian women and youths aged between 14 and 18. The deal also allowed more humanitarian aid to be sent to Gaza. ATEF SAFADI/EPA-EFE/REX/Shutterstock Large crowds have been gathering in the occupied West Bank to greet Palestinians released from Israeli jails Israel offered an additional day's pause in the fighting for every 10 Israeli hostages freed. By the evening of Wednesday 29 November, a total of 102 hostages had been freed in return for 210 prisoners. These include: 70 Israeli women and children freed under the deal between Israel and Hamas 23 Thai hostages and one Filipino released under a separate deal between Hamas and Egypt 3 Russian-Israelis (two women and one man) not included in these deals Before Israel and Hamas agreed the temporary ceasefire, four Israeli hostages had been released and another wasfreed by Israeli forces. There are thought to be about 140 people still in captivity. Minutes before it was due to expire,the truce was extended again to allow international mediators to continue their negotiations. Hamas has said other armed groups in Gaza are holding hostages, including Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which could complicate the release process. Israel frees Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi Who are the released hostages? Hamas captives tell of fear, squalor and hunger What is happening on the ground in Gaza, and what is the humanitarian situation? More than 36,000 people - three quarters of them children and women - have been wounded in Gaza since the start of the war, the Hamas-run government says. However, only a small number of hospitals are still operational due to damage caused by attacks and the lack of electricity and fuel. Mr Netanyahu has admitted that Israel has been "not successful" in minimising civilian casualties, but insisted this is because Hamas uses Gaza's population as human shields.
  3. I guess I haven't gone far enough on here but I haven't really seen anyone talk about it.
  4. What about Palestine? What have they done bc I see people talking about them too.
  5. I really don't know. I never hear people talk about it
  6. Can somebody summarize what's going on and who started it bc I'm so confused rn..
  7. Ok I just need actual facts, not opinions about who started it. Like facts that you can back up.
  8. The Lust For Life demo needs more recognition; it's so much better than the one released, because LFL (released) was something she made to fit the vibe of Love or playable on the radio and the demo didn't really fit on the album. But it's amazing because it brings you back to Lana's old melancholy, poetic, but catchy feel. I really do wonder why she didn't release it but I think it's because it didn't match the vibe of the album or she was planning on a collab with The Weeknd and didn't want such a melancholy song... idk. But I love it and I feel like barely any people have listened to it or like it. Which is their problem because it's a banger.

"There are violets in your eyes, there are guns that blaze around you There are roses in between my thighs, fire that surrounds you It's no wonder every man in town had neither fought nor found you Everything you do is elusive too, even your honey dew" or Sittin' on the sofa, feelin' super suicidal Hate to say the word, but, baby, hand on the Bible I do Feel like it's you, the one who's bringing me down Thought that we were cool and we were kickin' it like Tribe Called Quest You the best, but, baby, you've been bringing me down I can see it now
