[Bluemoon dan]

Yeh this is only heading one way now. And it isn't in world peace.

 

[Don Karleone]

Not enough pressure applied by Netanyahu didn’t seem to want peace.

Stop selling arms to them then.

Are there any artifacts of Arab origin in Palestine?

How about mosques?
Monasteries?
Villages destroyed in the Nakba?
Al Kabri? (I'm guessing you don't know about that)

In April 1948, the Haganah prepared an initial blueprint for an operation called "Ehud", which provided for attacks on al-Kabri, al Nahar, al-Bassa and al-Zib for "the destruction of the gangs [and] the menfolk, [and] the destruction of property".[27] Yaacov Pundaq, a Haganah commander in the Carmeli Brigade's 21st Battalion, who was responsible for the area around Nahariya designated to be part of the future Arab state in the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan, had repeatedly caused damage to the Kabri aqueduct nearby, the primary conduit for feeding Acre. In the face of successful repair work by Arabs, he contaminated the site's waters with flasks of typhoid, or typhoid and diphtheria bacteria. This was the most serious use of Israel's deployment of biological warfare in 1948.[30]

As someone who intentionally has blinkers on where this kind of thing is concerned, I take it this is bad news?

It's not good news, but expected, and I suspect "wanted" by Netanyahu.

What’s likely to happen in retaliation?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

What was the currency of the Arab kingdom of Palestine.

The Palestinian Lira.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Ayatollha Khamenei will be next on the black list

I suspect he may have just signed his own death certificate.

The only question is whether he’s taken out by Israel, the US or another Iranian.

 

[cleavers]

What’s likely to happen in retaliation?

Somebody will bomb someone else.

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

As soon as Israel put boots on the ground and entered Lebanon Iran was sure to get involved. Madness all those displaced people heading into Syria. A frightening moment for the eastern world and all of us

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

innocent people are going to die

And there I was getting angry about Freddie Mercury impersonator getting off with his red card.

Back on go my blinkers.

The Palestinian Lira.

What was the currency of the Roman province of Judea?

They're just trying to erase history.

They have been in Lebanon for months, they just didn’t advertise the fact.

All along.

This is our generations Cuban missile crisis moment.

Iran had to do something otherwise Hezbollah would have felt let down big time.

If it's not caused too much damage, the Americans may be able to control Netanyahu.
