Middle East Conflict

As said they need to be carefull, the world will turn on them and then thing could well get very nasty.

They absolutely need to be careful and the world is rightly watching.

Right now, I doubt they give a hoot about how the world perceives them though and that can be seen through speeches at the UN etc.

The sooner Netanyahu answers for his mistakes the better and the sooner Israel can hopefully turn towards a more moderate government the better but that feels a while off yet unfortunately.

Maybe Israel want as many Palestinians slaughtered as possible and now Hamas has given them the excuse to do just that.

I would say that Benjamin Netanyahu is just as dangerous and evil as Hamas, but that's my personal opinion.

I agree with you . Israel with their sophisticated intellengence system were caught napping , they are lashing out because they look stupid

Putting posters up in London about people missing in a raid in Israel is really not about finding them is it?

It is pushing the agenda of ones sides politics in a cosmopolitan city where there are people with relatives on the other side and therefore not surprising or horrific when the other side responds by taking them down.

What do you think would happen if someone put pictures of the slaughter in Gaza up in Tel Aviv - how long would they stay up?

By pulling those pictures down though you are in my opinion supporting what Hamas did.

Go protest and support the people of Gaza and the West Bank, there is no need to rip pictures of hostages from walls, it’s completely counterproductive at best and suggests support for Hamas at worst.

Netanyahu was questioned by his country in the lead up to this and was in serious political strife, he must think Hannukah has come early.

But he is an evil bastard, and as said is just as dangerous and as evil as Hamas.

I've been surprised by the lack of activity by Hezbollah who usually like to get involved. Initially I thought maybe the US had told Iran to but out. Now I'm not so sure. It might be Hamas who've told them to keep their powder dry. Why?
Well Egypt, Jordan , Saudi and the UAE have been on pretty good terms with Israel. What Hamas really need is support from these Sunni Moslem states. Hamas know they have Iran's backing but were Shiite Hezbollah to get involved the 4 countries listed above may revert to their normal neutral stance.
Only a theory.

We don’t hate the West, we hate the people who run it and how they do it. They don’t give a fuck about their own poor and struggling people. They created a system where the gap increases incrementally. They expect the working class to pay the bills for selfish and corrupt economic policies. They expect us to fight and win every fucking war we have ever fought then keep the spoils to themselves.

From Lloyd George’s Homes fit for heroes, never happened. To today, we see broken veterans living on the streets. We see children go hungry. Old people the same. But we need to tighten our belts? Fuck off to that, the West isn’t the problem, it’s how they act we hate.

All this has what to do with Israel and Hamas?

I missed this from a couple of days ago.

Harvard ‘doxxing truck’ parks outside homes of students who blamed Israel for Hamas attacks

The truck’s giant LED screens displayed the words “Harvard’s Leading Antisemites” in gothic script over a headshot of the Ivy Leaguer who reportedly lived in the home.

You can't or won't see that Israel has gone beyond it's right to self defence and is now committing genocide. Do you believe Israel's security situation will have improved when they've finished in Gaza. You know it won't. Oh and Israel has never been ethnically cleansed either.

If they wipe Hamas out, or their ability to carry out acts of terror, then their security situation will have improved significantly.

I'm staggered (although maybe I shouldn't be) that a number of posters would seemingly prefer a terror group to retain its capacity to inflict deaths and injury on a democratic nation, rather than have that ability removed from them. It's almost like logic gets turned on its head when Jews are involved.
