Israel And The Palestinians (now with added Iran/Lebanon)

I was regularly hearing from George on Facebook a decade ago, so I'm not surprised that he's showing up on people's Twitter.

He's always seemed like a guid c**t, so no doubt someone will point out that he's been doing something horrible in the past ten years. That's how the internet works.

Can't believe twitter is pushing unsolicited 'collective punishment is bad and illegal' takes onto my timeline. 

Inshallah Elon, welcome to the Palestinian resistance.

Twitter seems to want me to know that Lieutenant Sulu's no huvin it where Israeli airstrikes are concerned:

Don't think that sort of take would have been pushed unsolicited into people's home pages on there pre-Elon Musk.

It is useful that he points out how many people live in Gaza.  For context, It is about the same area as Glasgow but with three times the population.  It is one of the most densely populated places on earth, comparable to Singapore or Hong Kong but with none of the wealth.  Half the population are unemployed and obviously the infrastructure is a disaster.  You don't have to agree with Hamas in any way to realise it is probably not a nice place to be.

Always interesting to see who will read into posts like this and look for meanings that simply aren't there.  

Feel free to explain what your post was about then.

Realpolitik from Zelenskyy. He knows its the Republican party blocking the US military aid to Ukraine. He also knows the Republican party are fanatical about Israel. If he can convince them the aid for Ukraine is in Israel's interest then they'll stop blocking it.

That's my guess, probably wrong.

Russia have announced a planned visit to Putin by President Abbas of the Palestinian National Authority. The fact that they're sworn enemies of Hamas doesn't mean anything to the Republicans, any way of tying Moscow to the Palestinians and Iran is good news for Ukraine. Iran backed Hezbollah have cooperated with Russia in Syria, and Iran have been supplying both Russia and Hamas with military tech. Anything other than unequivocal backing for Israel would be suicidal for Zelenskyy, and there is also the prospect of Israel agreeing to share some of their Iron Dome anti-missile technology which they've so far refused to do.

Russian born Hamas terrorists selling crystal meth sent over the Mexican border by communists in Venezuela are the greatest threat to America today.

And the woke LGBT+ ones are the worst.

A lot of what drives the opposition to spending money on weapons and budgetary support for Ukraine is the America First isolationism that kept the US out of WWII at the outset. Israel tends to be immune from that mentality because BillyJoeJimBob in his pickup truck out in one of the flyover states thinks all Jewish people have to gather there before the rapture is going to happen for him or whatever. Think Zelensky & Co lucked out big time that the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War coincided with issues with the House of Representatives leadership and Hamas leadership couldn't just let that pass. Not so good for the hippies at the rave and people living in blocks of flats that the Israeli airforce have or are about to demolish in Gaza obviously.
