It's getting worse!!
I like Micheal Horowitz here's a good new article on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. Two people who were seen as outsiders but are now in Netanyahus horrible right wing government. Hopefully these ****bags are defeated at the next election as is expected

Last lot of air strikes must not have worked?[emoji849]

Good stuff. Through satellite images it was shown two of the strikes blew up ballistic missiles in their launchers. Not sure if there is anyone who wouldn't be happy about that.Quote:

I think the Red Sea will remain closed for as long as the houthis want it to be.

So what is your plan do nothing. Probably needs a new thread as this has nothing to do with Israel it's Iran wanting instability.Quote:

I would focus on stopping Isreal for now before dealing with Iran. Stopping Isreal may give some breathing space as far as the Houthis go.Quote:

I think it's pie in the that Hamas or Israel will stop they have the means to go on their own. Houthis also will do the same as they have been doing for years, they are using Israel as a smokescreen it a nonsense. Greek and Danish ships hit who had no connection to Israel but Russian and Chinese ships have been told they can pass. This is Houthis Iran and Russia destabilising. To sit back and let them block it and hit civilians when they want shows these states they can do what they want. It weak and it stems from Europe being week when Crimea was stolenQuote:

Wonder if this means we are considering ground forces?

Probably for their safety I doubt the Houthis are thinking kindly of the British in Yemen. Similar travel advice and leave advice happens in hotspots, all British were told to leave Gaza recentlyQuote:

Even the Tories realise they are supporting a genocide. Starmer will likely fall into line now hopefully.

The ICJ comment on South Africa’s case against Israel
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveb...case-against-i
So ICJ say they should stop the genocide but can continue the fighting in Gaza
UN hasn't been fit for purpose in years, we see it when Russia gets to head the security council whilst invading Ukraine
A rock and a hard place situation, stop the fighting then Hamas can regroup, carry on fighting, innocents die.Quote:

This was a targeted assassination and execution of militants suspected of planning a further attack, and one that was lying in bed paralysed (alleged).
Israel isn't even trying to cover up or hide these attacks which must be as illegal as those on October 7th attacks?!?

the whole notion of the 'civilised west' is absolute self aggrandizing colonial nonsense. i'd much rather live in a western country, but as much as anything else that's because we've made the rest of the world so unstable.
Yeah, not disagreeing with what you've said. I'm well aware the UK has been involved in plenty of unsavoury political and military endeavours, some even "illegal". But, I can't recall a time our "special forces" have invaded a foreign land, dressed as medical staff and patients to execute targets knowing full well they'd be seen on camera.Quote:

I'm not arguing that a state shouldn't protect itself from aggressors but I doubt it this was the right way to do it and I get the impression Israel doesn't care about the optics anymore.
This or the Bin Laden raid isn't in anyway comparable to October 7th . These three were terrorist soldiers and a general who helped murder innocent civilians.Quote:

I think it's disgusting to compare it to October the 7th, they may have been Jews who have a terrorist government but they were innocent civilians not soldiers
There have been hundreds of war crimes in the genocide Israel is perpetrating, this is low down the list compared to shooting journalists with sniper rifles
