Middle East Conflict

There was a time in this thread, that a few skeptics discredited the possibility of some of the killings in Kibbutz was by irresponsible IDF.

Channel 12 Israel news actually have interviews with ACTUAL Kibbutz survivors. Of how, even houses without the presence of Hamas, IDF fired tank shells on houses, killing the Israelis there.



It is utterly irresponsible by the IDF. Why didn’t they just call by phone each house to make sure who is who instead of repeatedly shelling.

Channel 12 Israel have actually been conducting interviews with Israeli Kibbutz survivors and released hostages, but the narrative by Channel i24, which is pro IDF, drowns out the news of first-hand Israelis.

Watch the video of how the tech team Synthetaic analysed the patterns of the 2000lb US bombs used by IDF

‘Not seen since Vietnam’: Israel dropped hundreds of 2,000-pound bombs on Gaza, analysis shows​

CNN —
In the first month of its war in Gaza, Israel dropped hundreds of massive bombs, many of them capable of killing or wounding people more than 1,000 feet away, analysis by CNN and artificial intelligence company Synthetaic suggests.

Satellite imagery from those early days of the war reveals more than 500 impact craters over 12 meters (40 feet) in diameter, consistent with those left behind by 2,000-pound bombs. Those are four times heavier than the largest bombs the United States dropped on ISIS in Mosul, Iraq, during the war against the extremist group there.

Netanyahu saying no let up till all our objectives have been achieved.

Who's "we" and what are those objectives? There are some in his government would want an Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates, with no Palestinians.

It’s Christmas eve.

Christmas in Palestine then



Christmas in Palestine now



Christianity is not spared by ultra nationalist Jews. No surprise why Smotrich the Minister of Finance and leader of the Religious Zionist Party is in the cabinet and dreamers of the Promised Land.

The ‘we’ of Netanyahu



It’s not the start though. The de-Paletinization of lands have been since 1948. Just one historical evidence is the Tantura Massacre, one of the 400 villages that have been attacked, and thousands if not tens of thousands have been executed, buried in mass graves, and hidden under buildings and parking lots.

Just watching the BBC News showing Israeli drone strikes in Rafa in Gaza - how is targeting civilians out shopping a defence against and destruction of HAMAS?

Because the IDF are trained that all Palestinians are Hamas

Why US double standards on Israel and Russia play into a dangerous game

The west’s equivocation on Gaza exposes a global order facing mutiny over its domination of the international discourse

www.theguardian.com

A summary of tensions in the world order, Global South's apprehensions and how in the long run, it affects Democracy.

"If the US defence of Israel continues to go wrong, one or two outcomes are likely. The trend to shifting transactional non-ideological alliances will grow. Forum shopping by countries or strategic hedging, requiring active portfolio management like financial hedging, will become even more the norm. Alternatively, America could find itself confronting larger and more assertive alternative blocs, whether it is an expanded BRICS, led this year by Putin, or other Chinese-led alliances."

Anyone who values democracy should be concerned.
