Middle East Conflict

[blueinsa]

So the official Israeli line now regarding certain supplies getting into Gaza.

All food will be stopped, UN can't get any in too.

One Million children. Fuckin unbelievable.

Awaits condemnation from world leaders?

Agree, a step too far.

You can never with any justification stop food and medicines going in, never.

There is a big difference between funding Hamas and planing a raid on Isreal.

It’s no secret Iran have been involved in planning with Hamas for years.

I think they will agree to.let the food in if all the hostages are returned.

Even water is going to be turned off and not supplied.

I'm sure Iran will be on hand to supply food and water and all the neighbouring Muslim countries....

Haaretz editorial (unsurprisingly) sticking it to Netanyahu. The opening sentence makes that abundantly clear

‘The disaster that befell Israel on the holiday of Simchat Torah is the clear responsibility of one person: Benjamin Netanyahu.‘

The fallout from Netanyahu’s war with the judiciary and security organisations also getting the blame as well as Netanyahu ignoring what warnings the Govt did receive - dismissing them as ‘politically motivated’.

God knows what Hamas was thinking with this attack. It doesn’t serve their people, it unites Israel, and Gaza will likely cease to exist. No country is going to tolerate an attack on this scale and the murder of its civilians.

The Saudi’s and others looking to normalise relations with Israel will probably put the move on ice for a while, but will be governed by their own interests in the long run and proceed with normalisation.

All in all, a depressingly familiar chapter in Middle East politics.

I think the sentiment of the Palestinians is that the Arab world will rescue them.

Over the last 5-10 years things have changed considerably and support from the Arab countries isn't so simple or even given anymore. The Saudi's are not going to damage relations with the west by going against Israel. This is especially true whilst the west holds all of the cards in the region due to the depletion and isolation of Russia.

The curveball is and always will be Iran who could become involved militarily but who knows. Iran cannot however do it without Russian support and Russia is a bit busy right now.

In terms of geopolitics, this has never been a better time for the west to pressure the natural alliances in that region and align them towards western foreign policy, the defence of Israel is seemingly a key part of that.

I'd like to think every country could find a way of getting Food, Water and medicine in. This is dehumanising.

Yeah I doubt Iran give to shits about the food and water. A humanitarian crisis in Gaza helps further their goals and recruit more fighters.

There is also a 8 mile long border with Egypt.

You know how Christian countries always see eye to eye and work together for the common good based on their shared religion?

Nope, me neither. Which is why Egypt built a fence between itself and Gaza and restricts goods and people entering and leaving.

Iran is a pariah state and until the people in that country rise up en masse it will remain so.

The Israeli's should be trying to sort things out diplomaticaly with the Palestinians or nothing is going to change.

Some of the more radical Jewish sects do not help matters either.

 

[Gray]

The IDF has recalled 300,000 reservists from all around the world ( even if a reservist lives abroad,they are still obliged to return to serve in the IDF ) and special flights have been laid on for them.
It's the biggest ever call up in peacetime by the IDF.
I very much doubt they are calling up such a huge number to have them sat around in barracks.
I would definitely think that there will be a full scale armoured invasion of Gaza in the next few days.
The" Sword of David "will take it's terrible revenge !!!

And that will really endear them to the Palestinians who just want to live in peace.

 

[dublinblue12]

Looking increasingly like this will result in mass genocide in Gaza.

 

[The blue phantom]

Well Sunak has just said he will offer all support the Israelis need to defend themselves.

 

[west didsblue]

No it doesn’t. If Israel wanted to commit mass genocide the whole of the Gaza Strip could be flattened in 2 days. They are selecting targets based on where Hamas operate from or where their leaders live.

Hammas could always hand themselves over and the hostages, would save alot of innocent lives

I guess Israel could hand back stolen land too. Unfortunately both aren't going to happen. With indiscriminate missile attacks and now cutting food and water supply's off this is going to be an enormous loss off life coming.

 

[halfcenturyup]

There is also a 8 mile long border with Egypt.

It's not a blockade if things can be brought in through the back door, is it?

And if it's a full blockade of food, water and medicine it's presumably collective punishment and a war crime?

 

[MadchesterCity]

Let's be honest on here, how many people on here will condemn the atrocities committed this weekend by Hamas and how many are supporting them. I don't want to see 'yes but' answers, it's either condemn Hamas or support Hamas.

condemn Hamas
