Hamas strike on Israel - Threadbans in op - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

Lol, it was a well thought out post. Typed with a forehead.

like how israel hammered them in 2006 even though israel got their arses handed to them?

between gaza and hesbala and iran america and britain aren't going to be able to provide israel with sufficient weaponry and aid this time, especially while correctly helping ukrain and their own stocks are low.

Any discussion is hijacked by those who can not comprehend that in this clusterf**k there is no good and bad guys and both sides are worse than each other.

That’s when not busy constructing elaborate whataboutism involving mental gymnastics or constructing strawmen scenarios (as if reality is not daft enough)

… or defending and shedding tears for absolute evil scum (may they rot in hell) whose only accomplishment is to pour oil into the fire

When kids are being killed then that will dominate the discussion. Or when soldiers are sexually assaulting prisoners. It's not like the killings have stopped so of course they are going to be discussed. Maybe if Israel stopped doing these things we would stop discussing it.

A bomb smuggled into a building two months prior in a building supposedly protected by the Guards. It just gets worse for the Iranians.

If the Americans know what Iran is going to do next, then it suggests they have a mole or two in the room where the Ayatollah held the security meeting. Either that or Iran is so desperate to avoid a war that someone is leaking the discussions to the Americans so they can minimise the threat to Israel. The Iranians are trying to look strong to a domestic audience while behind the scenes likely doing all they can to avoid a full scale war. If you notice too Nasrallah in his rant didn't mention all out war, rather a new phase. The reality is if Hezbollah killed the head of the IDF. War would be declared within hours by Israel.

The killing of Haniyeh probably wouldn't have gone ahead if Israel calculated Iran would go to war over it. They know well Iran is desperate to avoid a war. It also proves the nonsense about the leadership being a death cult that craves martyrdom- the leadership are very much pragmatic and into self preservation- otherwise, if the likes of SeanW was right, the Iranians would have gone to war with Israel long before now and welcomed their inevitable destruction as the path to martyrdom. They avoid it because they actually love life more than death.

Ah the dead children really get to you. 17,000 little broken bodies that the Israeli supporters can't get past. They hate the mention of them because they know how awful it looks for the regions only Democracy. Maybe they're only Muslims and human animals to others to some but they were innocent children and their deaths matter.

2 utterly predictable responses.

How often do you guys want me to post here so that ye can respond identically again? Ye get really upset and it gets to ye if I dont.

I'm happy posting when something relevant (like Haniyeh death) happens but it seems daily posts are required.

Deleted. Not taking bait, shouldn't have in the first place.

Not my words, but those of Dawoud El Alami on his rebuttal to Dan Cohn-Sherbok on his suggestion that all neighbouring countries should take in Palestinian refugees.

Simplistic racist nonsense.

Difficult now to see Gaza getting much attention for the next few months. I detect more interest from the establishment in the one millionth opinion poll in a swing state in America than they are in Gaza now. And that election isn't for 3 months.

What kind of nonsense is this. Three people saw fit to thank this scutter ,yet would be bucking if such bile was displayed towards Israelis.The hypocrisy of it all.

It makes no sense to assassinate the leaders of Hamas while pretending to negotiate a ceasefire with Hamas .Bibi wants to provoke more attacks on Israel so he can have an excuse to attack Iran and bomb the military research facilities that are involved in building nuclear weapons . Meanwhile the idf continues to bomb buildings that house civilians and children

Bibi knows he can depend on support and supply of weapons and bombs from America as Biden cannot afford to lose the Jewish vote in the upcoming presidential election

To quote the poet a house divided cannot stand

Israel is fractured between civilians who want peace. Extreme conservative politicians orthodox Jews who do not serve in the army and Arabs, Muslims who live in Israel

Eventually Bibi will be voted out and maybe will be replaced by a more moderate political party so at some point Palestinians will regain control of gaza even if most of it is rubble and bombed out buildings

The UK will probably vote to stop selling weapons to Israel and more countrys will probably do the same

Have you even read what Michael D wrote? But then you sound like you know less than sweet nothing about Iran. There is a veil drawn over our President's letter by the Irish media which is slow to lift. And to pass it off as being the loose cannon ramblings of an old man is not on. He has been down this shameful and far worse road before. Not only does he clearly care not a fig for Israelis (Jews and Arabs) circled by a ring of Iran-funded fire by Iran's proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis, but not a toss either for Iranians under the thumb of that foul regime for way too long.. But sure, let him wish it well in its "endeavours" in our name.
