Israel has been subject to daily conflicts ever since the inception of the "State of Israel" against the domicile Arabs who occupied the land colloquially called "Palestine". What could could have possibly gone wrong. Israeli policeman have no regard to crime against Palestinians committed by Israelis, only vice versa.

My math wasn't wrong, 246 were were Army personnel and Police, legitimate targets, erred by 16, prior to the subsequent fanaticism creating the atrocity.

Dream on, United Nations says differently, don't shoot the messenger.

Carpet bombing, just one of many strikes being recorded, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-67072902, Perhaps it will surpass the Dresden or Coventry bombings for loss of civilian life. Will never beat Nagasaki or Hiroshima though.

Ford Carrier Strike Group, Ike will instead travel through the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal to the Middle East to operate in U.S. 5th Fleet. Armageddon could well be on the horizon

Agree and disagree. 250 innocents murdered by fanatics at a party was a Hamas atrocity, likewise another 800 civilians being slaughtered. IDF enforcing a collective punishment against 2.000,000 Palestinian civilians (excluding Hamas political or military divisions) has gone beyond the realm of self-defence to the point of genocide.

Agreed, Hamas actions overstepped the line first, regarding this latest conflict.

The World are indeed watching "Israel at War", not only recording but able to document this latest war beyond the next five minutes. Allegations of war crimes against Israel Complete with all citations from credible sources regarding the ongoing conflict.

Asking a question like that is trolling. Any "atrocity" committed against humankind leaves a scar whether being a participant or not.

Apologies to you BKK Brian, Without thought, emotive replies are sent in response to critique. UNSG further clarified his position condemning both.

Dis-information again, I did not.

Refer back to the "United Nation Secretary General" relating back to the more recent historical disregard by the State of Israel regarding atrocities being committed.

I will respond by saying, the War was started post "biblical era" formulated by Zionism, and subsequently acquiesced to by the ruling "World Powers". This latest chapter on 7th October stemming from atrocities committed by Hammas, did not stem from a vacuum.

Lay off the recreational chemicals, if not, I do not respond gibberish reply on significant matters affecting worldwide humanity.

After 160 pages of "tit for tat" on Asean Now, people still care, else you would not have responded.

I care, because I am not a "keyboard warrior" hiding behind a pseudonym fomenting hate, antagonism, perhaps with a secular view to the current events. If you have a problem with my advocacy within this topic, You can always PM me for clarity.

My name is not "Morch", I do not hide any pseudonym. I have no agenda apart from stopping senseless butchery being committed. Should you wish to have discourse, exchange validations, PM me.

Two Carrier Strike Groups are being deployed, other "aircraft" carriers are also in deployment.

Suits your claim, No arabian that I came into contact with from every walk of life and there were many thousands held adverse views to being followers of Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism etc. All were anti Zionism.

I spent close to a decade of my formative years in the Middle East in Saudi Arabia working for the US Army Corps of Engineers. My father was top tier personnel for BAC / BAe supplying military aircraft so only can provide third hand information

Back to basics then. Zionism isn't an ideology? Please elaborate what is is. Are Jews, individuals. a race or conscripts to a religious sect?

The war started when Zionism, not Judaism, one being an forcible ideology, the other being a race based on religious beliefs.

"No. He first lied and claimed the UK was sending an aircraft carrier." Please link the post number. When it was pointed out that the RFA Argas (Argus) was not an aircraft carrier, It does carry aerial support and also so does RFA Lyme. When it was pointed out that the HMS Argus was decommissioned and sold for scape (scrap) over fifty years ago, he stated insisting the RFA Argas (Argus) was indeed an aircraft carrier because it carried a helicopter, actually defines the description. He also claimed Israel has killed over a milling (million?) innocent Palestinians since the 7th. He has since walked this back and claims he never said it, but he absolutely did. Please link the post number.

Two "Carrier Strike Groups" are being deployed, Gerald R Ford, (currently of the coast of Italy) & Dwight D Eisenhower (in transit).
