Middle East Conflict

[BringBackSwales]

For the people suffering, I agree. But for the people in power, war is a geopolitical game. They'll strategise and claim pieces when they see fit. As of now, there's little value in the West taking any pieces.

I would love nothing more than to see someone put bullets in the heads of Bibi and Herzog and end this tragedy, but that isn't going to happen.

Tragedy is a much more apt word than game

This won't go down well with the advocates of "displacing" Palestinians from Gaza and reintroducing Jewish settlers.

Israeli minister outlines plans for Gaza after war

The plans are unveiled by the defence minister as fighting rages on in the Palestinian territory.

They watch because that particular region is a powder keg that the West are mindful not to inflame again. It's an Arab playground and Israel are playing a dangerous game because the US, whilst a quasi-ally on paper, won't dream of sending forces should the rest of the Arab world be antagonized to the point of retaliation. If Gaza is "cleansed", as Bibi and the rest of his fascists want, Israel would have made negligible gains and more enemies in the process.

As I say, they're playing a dangerous game.

Hamas have won the war imo. They will regard the tens of thousands dead as worth it, but they have achieved what they wanted and stupid stupid Israel have played right into their hands. Well we aall hate them now.

Exactly. They're the little brother acting hard in the playground with the "promise" of big brothers backing them up at home. But the big brothers (i.e the West) won't come if they tire of the behavior.

When has the west EVER tired of Israel’s behaviour?
