They have already sown the seeds for 3 generations of violence. Those seeds have long been sown and what Israel is doing is a drop in the bucket. We view the world with our civilized western democracy mindset. One that champions diversity and tolerance allowing people to live their lives as they li...

What’s your answer to the 1400 massacred women and children ? It was their own fault. Cease fire. Back in 1978, the Khmer Rouge crossed the border into Vietnam and killed more than twice that many civilians in horrible ways. Vietnam pushed back hard and kicked the Khmer Rouge's arse in less than a ...

All you're saying here is that we're looking at ten thousand dead people you don't give a shit about. That is a childish, pathetic, and ineffective response, delivered in a nasty abusive tone. If that's all you have left, you already lost the debate before you wrote it. No it's not. If Israel cared...

Ellafan

This rather smacks of the convenient way in which all the dead Vietnamese posthumously enrolled in the VC. Unless you genuinely believe every dead Palestinian mother or child was shielding a Hamas terrorist. Which you'd have to be pretty keen to swallow. No, that's a strawman. There are, unfortunat...

Ellafan

If they've managed to identify terrorists under a civilian target you would think it shouldn't be too hard to confirm if there are any civilians above it. Especially given they often have lots of independent verification of where civilians are located from the UN and various aid agencies about wher...

That video appears to show an old well, and right at the end what could have been part of a basement from a previous structure. Or a normal services structure for underground services such as water and sewage. I would have thought the "evidence" would be a bit more convincing than that. This is on ...

Ellafan

Three very interesting videos. 2 show very precise strikes on specific buildings without identifying what made them targets. The longer 2nd one had a bit of editorial bias* in the narrative, but nonethless showed targets being hit because hamas were located at those targets. [*Anyone quoting the Ha...

Accusing anybody on this thread of being pro-Hamas is just a pointer to your own dishonesty. If your position is reasonable, why do you have to lie?

Talks of a stalemate are a bit premature The Ukrainians continue to push on the left bank of the Dnieper The Russians continue to advance in Avdiivka It would be more accurate to describe the Zaporozhye region as a stalemate, not the entire frontline It depends if you classify advances of less then...

Unencumbered link to the NYT article: https://archive.ph/d3hNG I haven't read the article yet, but the video looks like a bunch of highlighted lights shaking across a black background.

snipped Reading the content of the above links (paywall on NYT and no way I'm wasting money on it) am I to understand that a Hamas video has suddenly come to light after about 2 weeks which muddies the waters? Has anyone actually got a link to the video, or even watched it? Added to that, neither t...

And, for those following the ground war, rather than the information war, some decent factual reporting - the latest edition of Battle Lines.

Looks like the official narrative of a Hamas rocket hitting a Gaza Hospital last month isn't quite holding up to scrutiny. Although exactly what happened still seems to be in question. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/24/world/middleeast/gaza-hospital-israel-hamas-video.html https://www.bbc.com/news...

If the Arabs/Palestinians had a choice of going back to the 1948 borders, but they had to maintain peace, I wonder if they would happily go back now. Would Israel though?

Alternatively, you could address things euge has actually done, which was the basis of his question. Instead, you skipped that and enumerated things he hasn't done.
