Time will tell they all had their own agenders but we're united in Israel not responding with the help of their allies Israel has shown the missile's Iran sent did little or no damage.
Agree the West have a lot to answer for but given what we've seen with regards many Islamic regimes I know where I'd prefer to live, we do have a choice every 5 years or so of voting out that government, maybe not the best but far better than an armed rebellion to get rid of their present regimes.
America may be a basket case but I believe that claim could be made of many western countries, maybe that's why these people keep coming in their thousands to the basket case that is the UK ?.

 

People keep coming here because we're a soft touch, open with our benefits system, and won't say boo to a goose when it comes to other cultures wanting to embed their own way of life here.

But anyway, on Israel - it's a catch 22 situation. The fact that the damage is negligible doesn't detract from the intent. They'll feel compelled to act, and appeasement rarely works. I personally think Iran is itching to really ramp this up.

Add into the mix the situation with Russia/Ukraine, and the tensions around China/Taiwan and possibly even North and South Korea, and a widespread conflict is a very real, very imminent possibility. And even if its not imminent, globally we'll be at the precipice of WW3 for a few years.

Very, very dark times.

 

That's pretty much what that panel were saying last night any sort of retaliation will not help the Isrealis cause in fact no retaliation would make Iran's attempt to get a response look stupid, that's not saying Iran don't have weapons that can get past the Iron Dome.
I don't think Russia would be daft enough to use nuclear weapons but I do believe Iran (when they have the capability) and possibly North Korea would use them given the situation.

 

Wow I'd hope that is tongue in cheek mate.

 

Wouldn't go that far.......

 

Not many but neither would any concentration camp inmates. You wouldn't! if you were Palestinian you would have celebrated October 7th. I didn't and I don't think many here did but certainly understand the Palestinians not giving one aorta.

 

Those that live in Gaza as some Palestinians live in Israel electing their own government in Hamas was anything like a concentration camp you need to educated yourself what a STUPID comparison...............................

 

What's so annoying is the government keep telling us there are laws to stop the likes of chanting "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" yet the police do nothing, the first time that was chanted the police should have been making arrests, although I'm sure some on here would try and defend it by saying it all depends on the context it was chanted in, I'd suggest you're pretty thick if you don't understand how it was being inferred by the protesters.

 

Interesting read regarding the atrocities carried out by Hamas on the Israeli people on their home soil from someone in a good capacity to understand conflict.

 

As this government don't seem interested with regards the remarks made by the Met officer about someone being "openly Jewish" the Labour party are at least showing interest and looking into it, another own goal Sunak ?.

Shadow justice secretary Shabana Mahmood says she is “deeply concerned” after an officer described an antisemitism campaigner as "openly Jewish" at a demonstration in London.

 

Just about sums the situation up, shocking but hardly unexpected.

 

I am at degree level thank you very much. Given 50% of the population weren't born then. Why should they be punished?

 

Nothing to debate here, I'll repeat STUPID comparison.

 

Looks like Israel are going to finish the job with regards Hamas :
Israel has ordered an estimated 100,000 Palestinians to leave the eastern part of Rafah, the last-standing city in the Gaza Strip, amid fears that an upcoming IDF offensive against the city could end in a massacre of civilians. The IDF ordered Gazan civilians to leave part of Rafah and go to Muwasi, an Israeli-declared humanitarian area near the coast, in preparation for the offensive this morning, and thousands were seen leaving in droves.

 

An interesting view against the media narrative by a very unlikely source.

 

Apparently Hamas have agreed to a cease fire brokered by Egypt and Qatar but nothing with regard any acceptance from Israel as yet, the proposal is for Hamas to release 33 hostages from the humanitarian category although its suggested Hamas have 132 hostages (not sure Hamas know what it is) that is women, children, elderly people with serious medical conditions, no mention of males, in return Hamas would agree to a 40 day cease fire upon the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners, will Israel agree to this it seems to be very loaded in Hamas favour, but the cease fire has not been agreed by the political wing of Hamas but not by Yahya Sinwar the Hamas chief in Gaza the man who's believed to be the ultimate decision maker in these deals.
Hamas agreed to latest Israeli proposal, says official briefed on talks (msn.com)

 

I lived in the Middle East for ten years.

Most of my Arab friends did not support Palestine.

Syrians, Lebanese and Jordanians are, in essence Palestiams.
