Middle East Conflict

[Bluemoon_420]

You have to admire Israel's humanitarian dedication to keep striking the refugee camp with less and less civilian casualties till they get them down to zero.

What is the result of bombing Gaza look at all the Islamic anger look at Turkey threatening to knock on Israel’s door. Hamas has played a blinder anger Israel watch them attack Gaza and then turn the whole Islamic supporting Middle East against them

Not just the Islamic Middle East.

Maybe, just maybe, this is the opportunity they’ve been waiting for.
Time will tell.

Israel's actions will ensure they can never be secure as a country. They might be trying to get rid of one enemy (that they created themselves) but they will be making many more enemies in the process. The world order changes every few decades and once America is no longer the supreme power backing up Israel, they'll be left to fend for themselves and their folk will then realise whatever they in 2023 was a mistake.

To be fair they do pay the bills

House Republican Says the Term ‘Innocent Palestinian Civilians’ Is Like Saying ‘Innocent Nazi Civilians’

Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) cautioned against using the term "innocent Palestinian civilians" because, he said, it would be like referring to "innocent Nazi civilians" during World War II.

Why are Egypt so reluctant to open the border or is it Israel stopping it?

Egypt is looking after itself. They're broke, with a rapidly declining currency. No way do they want to be lumbered with a million or more refugees in the Sinai peninsula, and from there further into Egypt. They also don't want Israel interfering there, having got free of Israeli interference there in 1981.

They would say open the borders in the UK or the USA; it was them who largely created the whole can of worms by drawing the post-colonial Palestinian borders after WW2.

Similarly, notable is the absence of the flotilla of British, American and European rescue ships and hospital ships arriving at the Gaza coast to take the most vulnerable to safety.
