Middle East Conflict

It’s such a tragic situation for all the parties involved, I do blame the Americans for taking their eyes off the situation, believing it could be managed by hi tech fences and increased brutality, they looked the other way and they are now caught between a rock and a hard place, they know their reputation has been damaged, they know this just gives Iran more influence in the region

What’s needed is cool pragmatic heads there are over 2 million people in Gaza, with the sanitation system broken there could be an outbreak of cholera, on top of all the destruction

Gaza’s next big threat: Cholera, infectious diseases amid total blockade

Humanitarian organisations warn deadly water-borne diseases will spread in the besieged strip if aid is not allowed in.

Tainted water and viruses put Gaza residents, especially kids, at further risk

Flu, Covid and waterborne bacterial illnesses threaten the health of an already vulnerable population.

Note that over three-quarters of Gaza’s population consists of children and women. Soon there will be thousands of babies born to die in the rubble. Other Palestinians will perish from untreated diseases, injuries, dehydration, and from drinking contaminated water. With crumbled sanitation facilities, physicians are fearing a deadly cholera epidemic.

That’s why I am convinced that pretty soon the Americans will call a halt, the blow back for them will be terrible plus it’s only strengthening Iran

I haven't see anyone in the west with any gravitas talk publicly about the real risk of a deadly contagion. Have you? In any-case Netanyahu has made it perfectly clear today he is not for turning.

He’s a snake, he will turn when he’s told to, the Americans can and won’t allow this to go on, they can’t afford to, it’s simple geopolitical reality, not only Iran but China is also vying for influence in the region, and they can pump lots of money and arms into the region

Some climb down presented as victory will happen, the alternative would be quite horrific

I’ve given up replying to what has been spewed out in here recently, but this is probably in reply to more reasonable conversations I had earlier.

There are plenty of Jewish people of different descriptions that do not agree with Zionism. They are not all rabbis of some cult or other, if any are at all.
Anti-Israel comments can be, but are not as a rule, anti-Semitic.

This guy is worth listening to until the end. He’s Jewish, his grandparents died in Aushwitz, he himself was a holocaust survivor as a baby.
There are a number of other sources recommended at the end of this.
I have listened to Ilan Pappe and will check out the journalist he mentions in the West Bank.

Only a matter of time till.it happens in the UK. Hate is now permitted by the UK state - ..especially anti-semetism. It's already starting to happen on UK university campuses. 59 incidents of extremism against Jewish students so far since the Hamas terrorist attack

Did you raise this hypothetical cub in the full knowledge it would kill? But you still helped it get big and strong anyway? Because if so you should probably go to prison.

"You" in this case being Netanyahu?
