Freedom Farter Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) 6 year old Palestinian-American boy stabbed to death by a 71 year old man in USA. The murderer was enraged after consuming media coverage of events in Israel. His name and his being from Illinois suggest Polish catholic heritage. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-67119183 Edited October 16, 2023 by Freedom Farter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Israel UK ambassador on R4 just now sounding completely unhinged. When challenged on Israel targeting southern Gaza and civilians, she basically said "ask Hamas" and abdicated any Israeli responsibility. This, of course gives Hamas the justification they need. Iran must be delighted, they can now tick the box that says "put any peace process on the back burner for another generation ". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Rumours of a "deal" to open the border into Egypt coupled with the Israelis telling the population of Gaza to move south ie towards that border must bring into sharp focus the end of a Palestinian state. You can see why Hamas would be advising the population not to head south as the opening of that border to refugees (if that is the "deal" being talked about) would see the vast majority of the population of Gaza become refugees in Egypt with the prospect of never returning. Israel then rolls into Gaza to flatten it in preparation of it becoming integrated into Israel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see Egypt going for that as I really doubt any country that has cheered on Israel will be interested in taking a share of the refugees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 What would it take for the UN to put a peacekeeping force as a buffer to protect Gaza being invaded? They could also provide humanitarian aid. Apart from a miracle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could also provide humanitarian aid. Apart from a miracle. Pretty much needs the 5 permanent members of the security council to want to end the conflict. Can't see Israel seeking it but perhaps the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank could try to influence the chair of the security council, Brazil and the UAE who are on the council until December to try and propose it to the other members. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 There's 10,000 UN peacekeepers on the border between Lebanon & Israel. Apparently Hesbollah won't let them take up position. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Interim_Force_in_Lebanon#:~:text=The United Nations Interim Force,426%2C to confirm Israeli withdrawal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Unfortunately, there is no chance of the UN Security Council agreeing to anything meaningful. Especially if being pushed by the pariah state in chief that is the Russian Federation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that she is too right wing (no such thing exists for Phillips), it's that she's a failure in her appointed role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel then rolls into Gaza to flatten it in preparation of it becoming integrated into Israel. I’d imagine any opening would be limited. Food convoys in and probably only sick and injured in transit to elsewhere. Can’t imagine Egypt is going to let even tens of thousands into Sinai. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
