Your opinion, noted. Everyone certainly doesn't agree. Some, perhaps many, maybe even a majority might be in agreeance. Believe whatever propaganda source you wish to absorb. My choice of news reporting is with journalists that are actually on the ground there amongst the fray.

Propaganda’: Al-Shifa director refutes Israeli fuel claims Muhammad Abu Salmiya says Israeli claims that the hospital refused fuel are “propaganda”. Speaking to Al Jazeera, Abu Salmiya said: “Israeli officials reached out to me twice about providing the hospital with fuel: once to offer 2,000 litres [440 gallons] and then another to offer 300 litres [80 gallons]. Keep in mind the hospital needs from 8,000 [2,113 gallons] to 12,000 litres [3,170 gallons] per day. “The same person called me at 2am and said the 300 litres can be picked up from a specific spot that is dangerous and susceptible to shelling. I told him to send it or a larger quantity so we can operate a generator via the Red Cross. “Israel wants to show the world that it is not killing babies. It wants to whitewash its image with 300 litres of fuel, which barely last 30 minutes,” Abu Salmiya said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier said Israel had offered fuel to Al-Shifa, which suspended life-saving operations after running out. Netanyahu was asked in an interview if Israel has a plan to get fuel into Gaza to power hospitals. “We just offered Shifa hospital the fuel, they refused it,” Netanyahu said. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/11/12/israel-gaza-war-live-israeli-army-surrounding-al-quds-hospital Hamas denies refusing fuel from Israel for Al-Shifa Hamas denied it refused 300 litres (80 gallons) of fuel from Israel intended for medical use at the besieged Al-Shifa Hospital. “The offer belittles the pain and suffering of the patients who are trapped inside without water, food, or electricity. This quantity is not enough to operate hospital generators for more than 30 minutes,” Hamas said in a statement. Hamas is not associated with Al-Shifa Hospital management, “nor is [Hamas] part of its decision-making structures”, it said. “[The hospital] is completely subject to the authority of the Palestinian health ministry.” https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/11/12/israel-gaza-war-live-israeli-army-surrounding-al-quds-hospital

Mixed messages as usual. The exact locations where Chinese police would patrol were not yet released but would be areas Chinese tourists gather in large numbers. However, a later statement by a spokesman to the Prime Minister denied any patrolling would take place and only that the two forces would share information.

Watched it last night, screened on a "freeview" NZ, TV channel. Brilliant.

What a bun-fest. Dwight D Eisenhower Carrier Group, since entering the Mediterranean is now in stealth mode, venturing towards the Suez Canal and providing military reinforcement to support any adverse activity within the Persian Gulf. Logistically, what could go wrong.

No deflection on my part, Yesterday defines how we react today, influencing tomorrow etc..

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.

https://news.usni.org/2023/10/26/carrier-uss-dwight-d-eisenhower-approaching-mediterranean-french-deploy-warships-near-israel Initially tasked to operate in tandem with the Gerald R. 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.
