Mid East Israel declare war after Hamas attack.

[Zidane98]

Sucks how the rest of the world aren't applying huge diplomatic pressure to Iran, Qatar & Saudi Arabia.

They're not attacking themselves but are one step removed from it.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

So don't do anything and let the terrorists continue to attack?

Just target the military spots and stop the apartheid and illegal land grabs

 

[Smeg Head]

Just target the military spots and stop the apartheid and illegal land grabs

They build their military spots in and under the civilians though.

Throw in Turkey as well.

The Hamas military spots are hidden in/next to the homes of civilians, hence the warnings.

Or we drill our own oil which we have plenty of but environmental activists won't let us.

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Firing rockets into a small area of 2 million people is a criminal act.

You could also argue firing rockets out of a densely populated area of 2 million civilians is also a crime.

 

[bzparkes]

True.

We could just become self-sufficient, have everything cheaper, create more jobs and not be dependent on volatile countries with horrific human rights records just to drive to work.

 

[RandB]

Saudi-Israel peace deal is/was very close. Hamas clearly Iran's useful (and heinous) idiot.

Curse those damn activists for trying to make the world liveable.

The consumption of oil won't necessarily change, because the demand won't suddenly increase.

Dont bother. Im not surprised when a thread involving AP devolves to climate activism. Save your brain cells by not engaging, not matter how logical you are

the fact that this was so well orchestrated by land, sea and air and nether Mossard or US intelligence had a inkling is mind - blowing

Seen theories that suggest either:
1. Israel knew it was coming, wanted it to come as an excuse to declare war
2. Intelligent services knew it was coming but didn't pass it along because of the situation with the courts (not an expect in this so not quite sure what that meant)

The conspiracy theorists are already saying they knew it was coming and let it, perfect excuse for Netanyahu

And we have tens of millions of potential refugees who hold these beliefs looking to move to Europe

Prolly a bit late

This made me lol but a big issue is the vacuum of leadership from the PLO. Moves like this which is pretty much all they have been doing are just so useless, it's like they are fighting a propaganda war of the 90s rather than worrying about the massive escalation Hamas just caused.

 

[adogsfan5]

Thanks for the running commentary Aristotle Pickett .

Very heartbreaking what’s going on.

Crazy that this is going on in the world.

Anyone suggesting peace talks between these 2 groups is having a lend.

Muslims and Jews despise each other and the middle east is a backwards cesspit.

It'll go on forever until either one group is wiped out forever, or everyone suddenly becomes an atheist.

The latter will never happen while those in power have religion as such a reliable tool to inflame the masses and bend them to their will.

Also, for all the hand-wringing over the 'apartheid' laws Israel imposes on Palestine, let's look at the example of South Africa since apartheid ended.

It's going swimmingly

When you say Muslims and Jews hate each other, do you think all of them do? Do the Turks hate Israelis? Bosnians? Moroccans?

Or is this hatred more specific and these issues mostly localised?

 

[QuietB]

This is going to be ugly. War suits all sides just fine.

Well for starters, look at the Muslims in Europe out on the streets celebrating Hamas' attack. That'll tell you everything you need to know.

Anyone caught doing this clearly has no interest in western values and should be deported.
