Middle East Conflict | Netanyahu orders strikes on Gaza (p1161)

Yes, it’s almost inevitable that Iran will have been instrumental in the build up to this. Absolutely no doubt in my opinion.

Indeed and this is just the beginning most probably Egypt have informed Israel that they could be an invasion from Lebanon, they just go round in never ending circles

This really feels way too organised for normal Hamas level stuff. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised at all if this has some Wagner influence along with Iran.

250 Israeli dead. 230 Palestinian.

I fear there might be a massive shift in those numbers over the next couple of weeks. Insane.

Why aren’t the UN sent in?

America wouldn’t allow it because it’s Isreal big brother .

Got a feeling hezzbollah is pulling the strings in the background without publicly saying they are involved

Lebanon, a formerly prosperous and successful country, has been effectively brought to its knees by infighting between, and protectionist actions supporting, the various sectarian factions. Iran, again, plays a large and crucial role in financial and arms supplies to the Shia Hezbollah movement which effectively runs Southern Lebanon.

Have they blamed City yet?

Var are looking. As we speak

 

[johnnytapia]

Absolute bollocks.

They wanted a war and they’ve got one now.

Who do you think will “win”? And “when”?

Probably tomorrow night when we go above Spurs.

They'll only be one winner, allbeit thousands of casualties. Yanks on board now with Bidens latest speech.

"Ready to offer all appropriate means of support to the government and people of Israel”

 

[trueblue1972]

No one wins this it will continue for centuries

 

[meltonblue]

Who do you think will “win”? And “when”?

Think the better question is who will lose and the answer is citizens of both. Their lives just got even more dangerous (again).

 

[meltonblue]

It definitely raises a lot of questions of Israeli intelligence

I’d say these three are avoiding aiming their ire at the aggressors and doing all they can to show which side they’re supporting in the events of the last 24 hours.

One fucker going as far as to say the Israeli’s will be the ones killing the hostages as opposed to the terrorists that took them and are currently posting videos of beating them, beheading them, cutting their Achilles to stop them running away etc etc.

Another upset people aren’t showing enough empathy for the terrorists that are currently attacking Israel.

The third hoping that this isn’t a flash in the pan and that a mini world war 3 breaks out from this flash point with the Arab world ganging up on Israel (not that it worked out well the last time they tried).







That’s just from the last two pages. What always astounds me is that people that believe themselves to be socially left wing so often end up supporting an extreme right wing theocratic terrorist organisation that would slit their throats as soon as look at them if they believed it would further their jihad.

It’s entirely possible to detest Israel’s leadership for the cunts that they are without feeling the need to justify or play devil advocate for the atrocities currently being inflicted upon innocent people that had the temerity to be born as Israeli nationals near the border. It’s not a football team, one doesn’t have to support one or the other and see every action through the myopic bias of such support. It’s a fucking sad story all round. Sad for those Israeli’s killed today, kidnapped today and likely not seeing the weekend out and sad for those Palestinians that are going to end up dying because they happen to live in the same residential buildings that Hamas leadership are hiding out in.

The people that will be dying will not be the decision makers on either side and it’s all so fucking depressing.

Great post that, very well put.

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Is this a stupid question? Why are the Palestinians automatically terrorists?
Genuine question, what exactly/specifically makes them terrorists?

 

[paulchapo]

This is odd. How did one of the best intelligence agencies in the world not know this was coming?

 

[ayrshire_blue]

So many innocent people on both sides.

So many cunts on both sides.

What's right and what's wrong isn't actually so important to most, and that should be the heart of every conversation on this topic.
