LongTimeLurker Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 No idea who Brian is or why he would have a news and intel channel but this popped up when I searched for Sderot just now and he's asking the right question: My money's on a marked reluctance to get fatally shot in contrast to their opponents because there are no 72 virgins waiting for them in the hereafter and there's very little chance they are actually going into Gaza rather than simply turning it into a car park from the air regardless of whether that approach amounts to a war crime or not. The Israelis aren't made of the same stuff militarily nowadays as they were when Moshe Dayan was around complete with eye patch and they used to do things like invade into Egypt across the Sinai Canal. They are living off their repuation from another time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7C Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 The IDF entering Gaza will result in a bloodbath. Power already cut off, water and food shortages, indiscriminate bombing. Hamas’ actions were disgusting but that doesn’t justify the civilian deaths that are going to occur as a result of this. The Palestinian people don’t deserve it and aren’t responsible for Hamas’ attacks. Israel knows this but doesn’t care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Theyellowbox Posted October 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Quite staggering how many people can fail to see that the whole Palestine-Israel issue isn't binary. You can simultaneously feel that Hamas is pure scum for murdering people and think that Israel bombing Gaza to smithereens is disproportionately harmful to innocent people. It is also possible to say that a ramp up in the conflict, taking aside the horrific death toll, plays into the long term goals of the far right in Israel and to Hamas. The grey in the middle of all of that is a great many non combatant people will die and those people driving all of this will not be the ones that suffer the most. Very very few people want the level of death on both sides we have seen and will see. Frankly, none of us are well versed on the complexities to have such conviction either side is 'right'. I'd assume/hope now many of the facts are known, a lot of people might soften their entrenched views, whatever they might have been before hand, but I know in reality that won't be the case.

She was not interested in surveys concerning the support for Hamas in Gaza.

Given we are 75 years into civilians being murdered by both state and terrorists it's pretty unlikely you are going to see an end to the violence. The news cycle will circle back round to Ukraine once they get bored showing the odd clip of rocks getting thrown by children at IDF to justify launching a cruise missile into a hospital. Rinse and repeat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'm also not entirely sure that a Minister of Defence should be referring to the populace of a neighbouring country as animals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-palestine-hamas-attack-hostages-gaza-strip-b2426936.html Quote The IDF has claimed Palestinian militants, Hamas, killed babies and “decapitated” women and children in a ruthless attack in Kfar Aza, an Israeli village close to Gaza. “When Hamas came here they decapitated women, they decapitated children. We saw dead babies, girls,” There's going to be a bloodbath in Gaza. The Israelis - brutal and ruthless before this, are going to go way, way over the top. With the full support of the Israeli population while the West will look away and let them get on with it. I wonder if this is what Hamas want, to provoke a massive over-reaction that forces an all-out religious war bringing in all the Arab nations. The two US Carrier groups are there to keep Iran and anyone ese that tries to intervene out of it.

Wee-Bey Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hamas obviously massacred a large number of civilians, but I'ld be waiting on a more trustworthy source than the IDF to verify the 'babies getting their heads chopped off' stuff tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 A video of Israel dropping white phosphorus bombs into the middle of Gaza. A stark reminder that our "elected leaders" will allow any form of war crime to happen upon innocent civilians if they profit from it in some way. The worlds fucked and its getting worse, as things are just escalating. India v Pakistan will be next to properly explode and it'll be even more violent than this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 There's a few sources about the babies and even one from the IDF saying they know nothing about it but it doesn't matter. True or not, the result will be the same because enough people will believe it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Violence begets violence. The false equivalency propagated by both sides is an utter nonsense. Civilians suffer either way. There are no good guys in this conflict. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
