Hezbollah pager explosions

disgusting victim blaming.

not surprising though for the supporters of the IDF terror machine.

if it is true, it will be down to the huge amounts of funding hamas have been getting from israel.

there are only various factions because israel created some of them.

but for israel there would have just been the PLO and the authority in the west bank who would have eventually merged anyway.

all with in palestine generally lived in peace until 1948.

of course it isn't going to happen, why would others help the IDF in a genocide.

especially as the israely terror machine have given the game away that they hate the lebanese people and want to wipe them and their country off the map.

worried youll be associated with the other ones are you ?

maybe your hatred has you blind , try taking a break from the internet and spewing the auld rage against the man

fortunately im not required to pander to the demands of posters like you

It has always been the same war.

Russia has been fighting along side hezbollah and the Iranian Guard in Syria for a long time.

Hamas picked Putin's birthday as the day to launch it's war on Israel, a gift to him in how it took focus away from his war in Ukraine and a thanks for his friendship to the Palestinians.

One war, many fronts.

Advances anti ship missiles in the Red Sea is a game changer there.

The Putins, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranians etc will keep pushing unless pushed back.

The striking back hard against Hamas rattled the group, wiping out Hezbollah would be another significant blow. It also helps Ukraine .

A missile fired by the IDF is as effective as a missile fired by Ukrainians in Donbas, both hit the same enemy.

How come many supporters of Israel in Europe and the US are also supporters of Putin? There is a strong crossover on display. Putin, Netanyahu, Trump and Orban are the poster boys for these guys.

Ok, if Israel is a "colony" as you claim, then where is the homeland of Israeli Jews? Remember: a colony by definition must have a metropolitan state.

Are you still waffling on about this?

What is the name of the metropolitan state that the the Dutch and German and Irish and English and Scottish and Welsh and so on had as their homeland before the US was founded? Because they all had to come from the same homeland didn't they? In your dancing-on-the-head-of-a-pin fantasy.

One for Putin, Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran to ponder at their next get together .

The Dutch set up their colony in New Amsterdam, they lost that to the British Empire, in the name of which the English, Scottish, Welsh and some Irish (who were then citizens of the UK, sort of). I don't know if the German Empire had any colonies in what would become the United States, I think the German-Americans came later.

The metropole of New Amsterdam was the Netherlands.
The metropole of the 13 Colonies was the British Empire.
The metropole of Louisiana was France.
The metropole of Spanish Florida was … no prizes for guessing that one.

But the Jews didn't have a metropole. That's just a fact. Therefore, they can't be colonists - with the possible exception of those today who live beyond the 1967 borders.

You are close to getting it now SeanW. In the same way that the Dutch came from another country, Dutch jews went to Israel. They may have been Dutch but emigrated to a British colony. Same for Russian jews. British ones. US ones. They came from somewhere else (Or at least the vast majority of them did). Ended up in a colony in the US Palestine and later gained control over it.

You appear to be under the impression that the immigrants to Palestine just materialised out of thin air or maybe appeared down from Heaven itself (in keeping with the oul' Biblical guff) in a sort of reverse rapture.

The colonists who went to the Americas before Independence (not just the US but also Canada and what is now Latin America) were nationals of European empires who travelled to the Americas with the intention of acting on behalf of their metropoles - some of which I enumerated in my last post.

There were some Jews in what is now Israel beforehand, but the Jews who travelled to the Holy Land did so because they were Jews, and their intention from the start was to set up a Jewish homeland. And unlike actual colonists - who as a group have a specified homeland - the Jews of Israel come from all over the world and since their arrival have intermarried, such that these days "Israeli" is as much an ethnicity as a nationality.

I think you're trying to create the narrative somehow that all the Jewish immigrants were British colonialists and therefore their metropole was Britain, but that's a stretch.
