Hamas attack on Israel

Personally I think both sides are cultivating an environment in which War will be the only option.

Look as Isreals posturing since the missile attack - they are threatening retaliation despite zero casualties.

Why? They can swat missiles out the air and stick the two fingers up at Iran without having to retaliate.

I don't have any skin in the game other than wanting it all to stop because if it does kick off it will turn in to a proxy war between the West and the Russians which could lead to anything. Russia have a lot of skin in the game with Syria and Iran.

One casualty, innocent Palestinian man working in a field. Suspect Isreal won’t be retaliating on his behalf though.

Apologies, 1 is too many.

Just the 24 health workers killed by Israel in the last day.

And over a million displaced by their invasion of Lebanon.

How come it passes largely without comment by western leaders that Israel has developed a habit of telling people to leave a certain area then subsequently blowing **** out of the major roads out of said area? Usually when there are a fair few people using said roads to follow Israeli demands. Happened multiple times in Gaza and again in Lebanon.

To their credit it is something the BBC has reported on regularly.

Israel won't be happy until they have blown the hell out of Lebanon and left it in the same uninhabitable mess that Gaza is.

A scorched earth policy that the Nazis would have been proud of.

The other thing I can never understand is bombing a hospital, bombing a uni, bombing a school...then it's yeah but it's a hamas headquarters. Is it ever fact checked, ever? Do Isreal seriously have the right to bomb whatever they want, call it a hamas headquarters then that's it justified?

[DaveF]

CNN showing drone footage of a Lebanese village on the border with Israel, simply validates the scorched earth policy Israel is implementing.

It's just a burnt out shell.

Starmer, Biden, Harris et al just mouth worthless words at Israel, continue to allow war machinery to be sold to them and feign concern for the civilians. And Rayner sits with the Israeli ambassador who says that “every school, every mosque, every hospital, every 2nd house, is a legitimate target”. She was obviously worried that saying every house might be a bit much.Todays Labour Party, genocide apologists and enablers. Shameful

Really worth a listen on the events of the last year.

It could just as easily have been footage from Gaza. Its tragic. And a scandal. Surely not Hezbollah in every property?

Israel needs to be stopped, but the 'leaders' in the UK, US, Germany, etc, wouldn't dare do anything about it.

Rumoured tonight that the Americans have told the Israelis if they go for the nuclear sites in Iran that they (the yanks) won’t get involved in any defence of an Iranian response. Whether that’s accurate is unclear at this time though.

[DaveF]

Israel fires at a UN base and injures 2 UN personnel. The UN also said that Israelis deliberately shooting at security cameras and yet more health workers are killed.

This murderous mob are out of control and no one is willing to reign them in.

Bold from Biden / Harris with weeks to go to the election. They will be praying Israel doesn’t attack Iran. Or at least wait until 6th November.

Any politician in the US that dares oppose Israel risks losing a lot of support/donations from very wealthy and very influential groups.... including extremely powerful Media groups that would best be described as 'Pro-Israel'*


The US presidential race has already seen (totally ridiculous) claims of anti-semitism thrown about and if any of that sticks, it's the death knell of your political ambitions.

IDF soldiers shooting at peacekeeping troops now. The ethnic cleansing of Gaza and destruction of Lebanon will continue as the USA won’t intervene. Dark days.

I was reading a piece the other night that said there is no way those troops can be mistaken for anything other than what they are.

Israel had demanded they move previously. The UN force, as is their right under international law, refused and then they were hit a few days later. That is a breach of humanitarian law. Without wishing to elevate either side morally in the proxy war of the genocidal zealots I think the reaction would have been somewhat different had Iran attacked a UNIFL base.

This is so true, and it's why we'll have absolutely no moral purchase in the region until Israel get out of Palestine completely. When all you've got is rubble, what is there left to compromise on?

[DaveF]

UK govt is 'appalled' at the Israeli attack on the UN. I'm sure Israel is not bothered in the slightest.

[Moulin Yarns]

In the last few moments we've been reporting on a Unifil statement that Israeli tanks have destroyed the main gate of a peacekeeping compound in southern Lebanon.

The statement further says that Israeli troops stopped a "critical Unifil logistical movement" yesterday near Meiss el Jebel, south of Beirut.

The organisation said that it seeks to "remind" the IDF of obligations regarding the safety of UN personnel and property. Around 10,000 UN peacekeepers are serving in Lebanon.


More now from the Unifil statement, which has accused Israeli forces of destroying the gates of one of its compounds in southern Lebanon.

The statement says the incident occurred early this morning at a UN position in Ramiya.*At approximately 04:30 local time, while peacekeepers were in shelters, two Israeli Merkava tanks "destroyed the position’s main gate and forcibly entered" the facility. Israeli troops then "requested multiple times that the base turn out its lights".

The statement says the tanks left around 45 minutes later after Unifil "protested through our liaison mechanism, saying that IDF presence was putting peacekeepers in danger".

At approximately 06:40 local time,*Unifil says, peacekeepers at the same position reported the firing of several rounds 100 meters north, which emitted smoke.

"Fifteen peacekeepers suffered effects, including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions, after the smoke entered the camp."

"The peacekeepers are receiving treatment," the statement adds.

[Keith_M]

If there are 10.000 UN 'peacekeepers' in South Lebanon, then what exactly are they there for?

The obvious answer would surely be to 'keep peace', e.g. stop terrorists firing missiles into Israel and stop foreign (Israeli) armies invading Lebanon.

They are there to stop weapons in the blue zone, apparently!!!
