Also Russia is totally cooking the books/cozying up to China as the lesser power in the relationship

It's like the trenches of WWI combined with the forever wars the US fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Congratulations Russia, you've saddled yourself with a decades long conflict potentially and lost the geopolitical purpose of invading Ukraine within months since Sweden and Finland applied for NATO membership.

Truly the only trustworthy source

Journalists and folks like Hasan have a practiced professional distance that they internalize. I think in this instance they are having that tested - particularly the Al Jazeeera journalists who've lost their families in the last 3 weeks and continued to report.

This woman is a Palestinian journalist her Instagram coverage is harrowing but also clear and straightforward.

Hamas has historical ties to the Muslim Brotherhood which Sisi and the Egyptian military consider terrorists, as well as a peace treaty and diplomatic relations with Israel. As others have said, Egypt is a military dictatorship with ties to the US and support from it, these make it complicated for them to just open the border (although I do think that Israel saying they wanted Gazans to flee to Egypt means they would not airstrike it should they open it in that direction but also logic isn't reliable in war all the time).

He denounced specific parts of the attack. The section of international law that explicitly allows violent resistance to a military occupation or blockade doesn't exempt the resistors from the rest of international law. The IDF/Israel and Hamas have the same obligations under international law(s).

Revenge-driven actions have not historically worked out for the people taking their revenue in the long run for eitherthem nor the cause. I'm with the Palestinian diplomats and journalists putting the violence in context without saying its good.
