Middle East Conflict

[Ducado]

I've accepted all out war is coming..its going to be fucking carnage

You worry too much, we will live in relative peace on this island but we won’t be immune from the economic effects nor the spill over with some communities

How do they get all these weapons then ? Can't be manufactured in Gaza ?

Smuggled from Egypt the Sini is rather lawless in reality the border is very porous

3 American military bases or military installations have been attacked in Syria tonight

There’s a lot of pitch rolling going on in the media to help Biden secure unprecedented military funding for Israel. I’m not sure if we know if these attacks were genuine or not yet. In addition, if these attacks did take place was there any Russian involvement?

So how many actual Hamas fighters are there in Gaza ?

Are they all based and living underground?

Do they have the resources after this bombardment to take on Israel going in?

Not like you to defend the Russian regime.
Shocked.

Apparently some people are also saying that Putin sent people to the UK to dump radioactive material in the middle of English cities and that the invasion of Ukraine was nothing to do with Neo Nazis.

Problem we will have is terrorist attacks the more we are shown to support Israel the more likely a radicalised individual is to act in “revenge”

At the moment we are seen as a place of safety. A member of the Supporters Club I run spent all of last week trying to get his parents to London from Israel.

Like other posters have said, we won’t be immune from the overspill of this conflict but our risk is relatively small (in comparison with many countries).

This war is not as popular as people think and if there is a ground invasion with the resulting carnage of innocent civilians it’s going to be be very bad for the politicians that gave the Israelis the green light

U.S. gov't employees increasingly distressed with 'blind support' for Israel​

Despite the Biden administration's full-throated support and near-parallel thinking from Congress, more rank-and-file government employees are growing increasingly distressed with blind support for Israel amid Gaza's humanitarian crisis



More than 400 Congressional staffers, primarily Jewish and Muslim, anonymously signed an open letter calling for an immediate Gaza ceasefire. They noted they were "profoundly disturbed" that "shows of humanity" following the Hamas attack "have barely been extended to the Palestinian people.



A U.S. official confirmed a HuffPost report that State Department officials are preparing an internal document directed to State Department leadership criticizing the Biden administration's approach to Israel's war on Gaza.



The dual efforts come after a top State Department official publicly resigned earlier this week in protest of Biden policy on Israel.
