War Imminent as Israel Deploys Tanks to West Bank for First Time Since 2002 – Gaza Children Return to School for More Polio Vaccines
The situation in the Middle East has continued to deteriorate this weekend since my last update on Friday. Yesterday, (Saturday, Feb. 22nd), an exchange of 6 Israeli hostages for over 600 Palestinian prisoners was scheduled to take place. However, after Hamas released the alleged remaining 6 live Israeli hostages, Israel refused to release the Palestinian prisoners as previously agreed upon, indefinitely. They claimed that the reason was that the Israeli hostages' handover ceremonies were "humiliating". Hamas responded that this was just an excuse to break their promise to release the Palestinian prisoners. Then earlier today, Sunday, February 23rd, Netanyahu announced that they were sending tanks into the West Bank for the first time since 2002. This follows the recent deportation of over 40,000 Palestinians from the West Bank in recent days, who have allegedly been told they cannot come back. Meanwhile, in Beirut, Lebanon earlier today, tens of thousands of people turned out at a sports stadium for the funeral ceremonies of the two Hezbollah leaders who were assassinated by Israel, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine. Israeli jets flew over the ceremonies as a display of force. Palestinian school children returned to school in Gaza today, just in time for another mass polio vaccination campaign that began yesterday. This is the second mass polio campaign with Palestinian children in Gaza, as one was conducted last year as well. As I reported then, this is the deadly "Oral Polio Vaccine" that is banned in the U.S. and Israel, and this is the vaccine that actually causes all modern-day cases of polio. Watch this video filmed by Al Jazeera of Palestinian children going back to school today, and take a good long look at the faces of these children, because within a few weeks most of them will probably be dead or crippled for life, if not by the vaccines, than by American bombs which will be launched by the IDF to clear out the remaining Palestinians so the Trump family can build their beach resorts in Gaza.
