Middle East Conflict

Time will tell.

I keep saying that Israel are not going back to the borders of 7th of October, are you so sure they will?

Yes I am

Yes I am

As I say, time will tell.


All I hope and pray is that this stops and stops soon.

The indiscriminate killing of all these innocent children, It can’t continue like this or inevitably someone else will get involved. And that’s the last thing the world needs.

Time for politicians to get off the fucking fence and tell Israel to stop.

Are you sure you aren't confusing an understanding of why attacks like October 7th happen with downplaying the severity of (or, as you put it, Hamas's responsibility for) the attack?

I haven't seen anyone who hasn't condemned the attack.

I’ve seen two or three who have bought into the conspiracy bullshit that the IDF is responsible for most of the deaths in southern Israel and have been minimising Hamas’s involvement.

Friendly fire?

Stopping is the easy part it’s preventing it happening again that is the hard part, Hamas has to give up a fight it can’t win, and the same goes for Israel, all that happens is innocents get caught up in the crossfire

Agreed, but Israel as the regions super power needs to hold out the olive branch, to allow the Palestinians to live, to thrive in their own land, only once that happens will the likes of Habas or Hezbollah be eradicated as they’ll be no need for them.

Hezbollah are not dependent on having an enemy in Israel they are the main party for the mainly poor Shia community in Lebanon, politics are quite complicated in Lebanon, if the Palestinians had their own state they wouldn’t need an army or militia

Maybe you should go back a post or two and look at the initial post instead of jumping in half cocked looking foolish. That goes for your little "likes" posters as well.

You've lost me.

I can only think you're making a distinction between land grabs in the West Bank and land grabs in Gaza. You do know that when Israel last occupied Gaza they allowed settlements, and those settlers now want to come back? And that for some Israelis, their version of "from the river to the sea" includes Gaza as well as the West Bank?

I don’t agree with any of it. But, do you really think of Israel did hold out an olive branch that Hamas would take it? Extremism doesn’t forgive or forget. Sadly, this will continue until one or the other is wiped out.

Every country needs an army.
