Ha, that could be a thread in its own right. Endless possibilities there. If it wasn’t such a bleak, depressing situation then changing “Israel” to “Palestine”, and vice versa, in this thread alone would probably produce some interesting results.

Surely that’s some kind of fantasy I can hardly believe isreal.There is actually a word censor built into the forum software, which is why you see some forums show words like “cnut” and “fecking” instead of the actual word. Have considered employing it on “Isreal” for my own sanity.

Probably. I do try and spell it Israel.Have you spelt Israel incorrectly in the past and now your phone is defaulting to it…? :)

I guess the US had to address the biggest fear, it has be talked about in right wing circles both in Israel and the US
"I’ve heard directly from Palestinian Authority President Abbas and from virtually every other leader that I’ve talked to in the region, that that idea is a nonstarter, and so we do not support it," he told Al Arabiya.
"We believe that people should be able to stay in Gaza, their home. But we also want to make sure that they’re out of harm’s way and that they’re getting the assistance they need," Blinken
Blinken rejects proposal to relocate Gaza residents to nearby Sinai Peninsula
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken rejected proposals to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to the Sinai Peninsula en masse."I’ve heard directly from Palestinian Authority President Abbas and from virtually every other leader that I’ve talked to in the region, that that idea is a nonstarter, and so we do not support it," he told Al Arabiya.

I can guarantee those won't be his words now
Irrelevant after last Saturday's massacre. Things have changed. Chamberlain waved a peace message from Hitler assuring the peace. Events change opinions.
They don't change history.

As a result of the unpublished "Shylock" cartoon it would appear than Steve Bell has effectively had his contact paid up by the Guardian.
They have told him no more of his cartoons will be published and his contract will not be extended beyond March 2024.
Sad but surely all he had to do was apologise, saying it wasn't intentional?
Sad as his cartoons were often brilliant.

If they're the russian (iranian) type stuff, then up against Israel/US they'll get obliterated by just the air power.Hezbollah have modern anti tank weapons we’ve seen in Ukraine, they have tanks, APCs, artillery - even proper high altitude long range UAV drones analogous to predators (but presumably not as good).
hezbollah don't exactly have a "no fly zone" above Lebanon, and I doubt there'd be much help air wise from elsewhere.

There is a widespread discernible (and somewhat understandable) absence of proportionality atm.As a result of the unpublished "Shylock" cartoon it would appear than Steve Bell has effectively had his contact paid up by the Guardian.

A healthy democracy needs people like Bell, who speak to power, and sometimes they will inevitably cross the line. The problem is, that we no longer are a healthy democracy.
