Israel’s Cabinet voted on Sunday to establish a new community along the border with the Gaza Strip.
The future town, to be named Hanun, will be located in the Sdot Negev Region and eventually be inhabited by some 500 families.
“The establishment of the community is further evidence of the resilience of the [citizens living in the] ‘Gaza envelope’ and the power of the State of Israel. We’re proud to build up the Land of Israel and we’re proud to strengthen settlement in all parts of our land,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Hamas calls Israel building a community within the Green Line a "dangerous escalation" - and threatened it:
The Hamas movement confirmed that the continuation of the Zionist occupation government with its aggressive settlement policies in our land, the latest of which was its announcement today, Sunday, of building a settlement near the Gaza Strip, constitutes a dangerous escalation that will not bring the settlers security or stability, and will not grant the occupation legitimacy or sovereignty over our land.
In a press statement, today, Sunday, Hamas stressed that the occupation government is solely responsible for its disregard for settling settlers near the Gaza Strip, and for putting them in danger, and it bears full responsibility for its settlement escalation throughout the occupied West Bank.
The movement called on the international community to shoulder its responsibility in curbing those racist occupation policies that threaten peace and security in the region.
The English announcement stressed "colonialism" while the Arabic one (above) directly threatened the community.
Just more proof that it isn't the "occupation" that Palestinians are upset at - it is Israel's existence.
And this is a story that Western media still barely reports.

— EMBEDDED REPORTERS… the Israeli news channels were allowed to ride-along into the war zone - up to 300 meters from active battle. Here’s Kaan 11’s report, but it is in Hebrew without subtitles - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkhQSJdsO-A
— NIGHT ROCKET BARRAGE… from Gaza - Tel Aviv area, Ness Ziona, Rishon LeZion, Holon, Bat Yam, Rehovot, Be'er Yacov, Lod, Ramla, Gan Raveh, Gezer, Sdot Dan.
— DRONE ATTACK FROM LEBANON… intercepted. Drone intercepted in the Metula area and in addition another interception in the area of the Hermon outposts. There are no casualties.
— IDF ATTACKS… extensive attacks by the naval, land and air forces on targets throughout the Gaza Strip - literally lighting up the sky as viewed from southern Israeli cities.
— US AND FOREIGN CITIZEN SEMI-HOSTAGES DEPARTURE STOPPED… Evacuation of dual nationals, foreigners from Gaza to Egypt suspended: border official (AFP).
— MDA AMBULANCE SERVICE SAYS… to UN chief… Our paramedics were found still wearing their treatment gloves when the Hamas terrorists murdered them. Our ambulance drivers were murdered in cold blood in the driver's seat on their way to save lives. Our ambulances were burned and damaged by fire from Hamas terrorists to prevent our teams from saving lives with them. If so, why does a barbaric attack on Israeli medical teams of Magen David Adom, the Israeli Red Cross, not make you feel the same way? We will forever remember you as the UN Secretary General who helped terrorists, but refused to condemn the murder of Israeli civilians and medical staff.
— IT’S A GOOD LINE… President Herzog in a column for the New York Times: History has taught us that evil ideologies are often first aimed at the Jewish people, but tend not to stop there. We find ourselves at the forefront of this battle, but all nations face the same threat and must realize that they may be next in line.
Oh my gosh, is anyone- and I mean anyone selling a Pix E Flutters Sdot Doll Lalaloopsy Doll with her pet firefly? She was my childhood toy and I was forced to leave her behind when we moved (actually I was tricked into thinking it was a vacation but that's a story for another day). I've been trying to find another one of her for the longest like $35-75 dollars for her fr 🙏🏾 (I'm broke rn but when I get money)

from Gaza, Summer 2006

[...] On every tomb I'll build a cairn,
and soon the whole graveyard will become a mound,
and then a hill, and ten thousand mourners
will bring their little stones — from Odessa and Baghdad,
from Granada and Seville. Over the field where the dead are waiting,
and the kibbutz, the nearest towns, Afula and Beit She’an,
and finally Nazareth, the stones will rise and rise —
in the Jewish quarter and the Arab quarter,
piling up around the bell-towers and minarets,
until the bell-tongues are stilled,
the crowd chanting shema Yisrael will forget
what it was they were called to mourn, and the muezzin will sing
Allahu— and choke, but still they’ll come, the mourners
until Mount Gilboa itself becomes a tomb,
its rare black irises, its iridescent insects undone,
and lop-eared goats will roam along a dusty track from ruined Gaza
to Sidon, from Tiberias to the scattered remnants of Sdot Yam,
so that once again there’s nothing to fight over
but stony ground
[...]

“Thank God I’m playing a character over 21. I’m 27, I can’t play 15 anymore. I can’t dew it. Last week I had a beard out to here for another movie I did and I was like can I keep it? And they’re like no! Clean shaven! And I’m like, fuck.”
Thank you @sdots-world for helping me find this gem of a clip again! Why does he sound drunk?
The movie in question here would have to be “Stay Alive”, which came out in 2006 and is the only movie or show from this time period I can remember where he had a beard. But I would hardly call this “a beard out to here”, Bubs.
