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. 

I think that Arab Nations don't want to be dragged into a war that's not in their interests.

They'll stand back and let Hamas and the IDF fight it out.

I was sharing the actual video of use of white phosphorus that's current, this is being used in Lebanon not Gaza.  It is being used not where people say it is.  

What's with the weird war crime question?  Just some harebrained attempt at a gotcha or do you just struggle with reading what's in front of you?  

In the tweets that follow someone claims it's not white phosphorus but thermite - ignoring the fact that the use of these kinds of incendiary weapons against civilian targets is outlawed by the UN.

Some recent head's gone on social media:

 

Check Mark Hamill's (yes Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill) pinned Twitter post, then the tweet directly under it. Absolute parody.

Andrew Neil and Jon Sopel going on about the uncorroborated beheaded babies stories.

Rachel Riley comparing people who don't believe uncorroborated beheaded babies stories to Holocaust deniers.

I’ve given up trying to read anything on Twitter/X. Nothing recent populates, trying to view anything demands a login, f**k it.

It doesn't really matter what the social media platform is or what eccentric billionaire owns it. It's an individual's responsibility to differentiate between a credible primary source and words/pictures on a screen.

While this is fundamentally true, the journalist 'profession' created the problem in the first place by treating the flaming bin fire that was Twitter all along as The Great Uncensored Source of News.

They can't really complain now when people simply ditch the middleman and look at the flaming bin fire for themselves.

Arab governments perhaps; Arab nations perhaps not. 

There's a line beyond which Arab governments will face mounting internal pressure to take action, though that line is stretched further than at any time since 1948.

No doubt the Hamas are terrorists that killed hundreds of civilians but Israel are using it as an excuse to attempt mass genocide. 

The sort of people who are turning a blind eye to it is utterly shocking.

Democratically elected terrorists through the ballot box unfortunately when they ousted the Fatah Party who were deemed to moderate.

The Iranian Mullahs are sitting back just now lapping up the carnage they have created, they don’t give a f**k how many innocent Palestinians are going to get killed.

One man's terrorist is another man's sovereign state government that the international community refuse to criticise.

Or something

Wouldn't disagree with that - this isn't 1967 or 1973.

Imagining the guy working on the doomsday clock just screaming down the phone at his boss saying there's literally no more fucking minutes.

Itll genuinely be interesting to see how close it now is to midnight.

In January they set it to 90 seconds to midnight, the closest its ever been, due to war/climate change/covid showing how quickly disease can appear and spread.

Al Jazeera scenes from a Gaza hospital are horrendous. Wonder how widely the western media will share them. 

Israeli cheerleaders should be forced to watch it before spouting their shite.
