Middle East Conflict

100% spot on.

If Israel steam in to Gazza the Middle East will explode and conflict will spread over most of the world.

We have already seen over recent days indiscriminate terrorist attacks all over the world, just when we thought they were becoming a thing of the past.
To be fair such actions by Isreal and Palestinian terorist organisation's have happened many times before and it hasn't ended in WW3. So fingers crossed it doesn't this time. But I agree that islamic terrorist activity across the world is likely to increase.
 
Does this Twitter is bollocks theory apply to other conflict related threads? Just so we know the rules :)
Always. Whether it’s war, transfers in football, news about Liam+Noel getting back together… over time, you get to know profiles that are reliable, then there are randomers posted out of the blue just because it’s ‘news’ that’s suitable to one’s side of the argument.
 
Which is absolutely your prerogative, nothing you’ve said there disputes any of the evidence they’ve put themselves though which is them trying to prove rather than believe something.

Not saying I agree with their conclusion by saying that either btw, my argument is more against being able to make a conclusion from it rather than what you’re saying though.
I don’t know why people don’t just wait until it’s been confirmed whose bomb it was before jumping to conclusions. It took about ten days for the one in August 2022 to be confirmed it was Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

This is a similar situation. If it was Israel, it will be proven eventually.
 
Anyone who thinks this hospital explosion is anything but a Hamas false flag operation needs to open their eyes.

Textbook state terrorism operation straight from the Russian playbook.

This whole thing is heartbreaking. There’s thousands of innocent people dying yet again because of a load of fanatical terrorists.
It was a huge if not macabre propaganda coup for Hamas but that does not mean they did it

Sadly Israel does have form for this type of thing, yesterday they hit a UN school which killed 6 people, and the fact they have been flattening Gaza makes them the obvious guilty party, that’s why nobody believes them
 
Fair enough, but the videos shared on line show multiple rockets being fired. Are we supposed to believe that they were all Badr-3 ones or just a mix. They all look the same to me.
For all we know, every single bit of information that’s come out so far (apart from the fact the hospital was hit and hundreds of innocent people were killed) could be false. All the videos, all the Tweets, all the rumours… from both sides could just be cobbled together bollocks to make the pointed finger bigger and stronger.

There will be radar footage that will show the truth.

You don't believe them but to say nobody believes them isn't really true is it. Quite a few do.
 
Something similar happened during the Algerian Civil War (in some ways a microcosm of this present horrendous macrocosm).

There was an explosion in the Casbah that killed many civilians living there. The French claimed an FLN ammunition dump had inadvertently exploded. Later it emerged that the pied noirs had planted a bomb.

Robert Fisk, who was present at the aftermath of the Sabra and Chatila massacre, and whose journalism, though it faltered towards the end, was very good at highlighting the utter hypocrisy on all sides in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, rated Alistair Horne’s A Savage War of Peace (about the Algerian war of independence) as an extraordinary feat of historical writing.

Just thought the book was worth a mention for those who might not have heard of it. Gillo Pontecorvo’s movie is also outstanding*. I used to use scenes from it when teaching the concept of jihad to GCSE students of Islam.

*It’s the only one I know of that was produced by an unrepentant terrorist (Saadi Yacef) and in which he reprises his role as a bomb maker.
It was confined that Joe Strummer did that one.
