vikingTON Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 1 hour ago, eez-eh said: As grim as what’s already happened is, you’d think so-called civilisation would be a wee bit more cautious about a country announcing that it’s going to “effectively obliterate” a densely populated area of 2.5 million people. Nope, “full support” all the way. Sieges are only disgraceful war crimes that the International Community Must Universally Condemn when white Europeans are the ones under the gun. Ditto the two-tier handling of refugees from conflict zones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I saw an advert on ITV X for a new series of Big Brother. I reckon that’s likely to grab far more of the attention of the ‘younger generations’. Spoiler Apologies for the sarcasm, flippancy and cynicism. I wish people, particularly younger people, would pay more attention to these events but I don’t see it happening unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran has been backing Hamas alongside supplying Russia with drones and missiles. Israel has been a bit reticent about helping Ukraine, it's a no lose situation for Ukraine to back Israel given the situation they're in, also in regards to the doubts about continued American support. Moral nuances go out of the window when the shit hits the fan. Edited October 9, 2023 by welshbairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Hamas have said they will execute a hostage every time Israel targets a civilian house without warning. They’ve said they’ll release audio and video of the executions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibby82 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 It's a bit weird listening to that IDF guy with the Glaswegian accent talking about obliterating Hamas, wonder if he's a guid Ranjurz man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knocks are a warning to evacute a building before it was destroyed. I didn't say they stopped anything other than that.

Salt n Vinegar Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 3 minutes ago, welshbairn said: If roof knocks means bombing apartment buildings, when did that stop? I could be wrong but isn't a roof knock a relatively lightweight munition to act as a warning that the building will shortly be destroyed and giving the occupants time to evacuate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that explains why they were going to all the trouble of taking old Israeli grandmas and mothers with young children back into Gaza. Seriously doubted it was for humanitarian reasons given what happened at the rave with the big Buddha statue. Netanyahu probably wasn't going to lose any sleep over a few hippies but a holocaust survivor would be hitting the jackpot on this for Hamas on international news coverage and in emotional blackmail terms unfortunately. Complete and utter scum to stoop to that level but you can see the rationale behind it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hamas has possibly completely misjudged the response , there was probably a good opportunity for them to take idf or men only hostages and not kill civilians or at least limit it. They would potentially be in a different situation now. Now even threatening the killing of a hostage on video would seem a no win situation for them.
