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). An "Amphibious Ready Group" Bataan is also on deploy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1p1G7WS0ko Aircraft carried Actual mix depends on the mission Standard Complement: 6 AV-8B Harrier II attack aircraft or 6 F-35B Lightning II stealth strike-fighters 4 AH-1W AH-1Z Viper Super Cobra /Viper attack helicopter 12 MV-22B Osprey assault support tiltrotor 4 CH-53E Super Stallion heavy-lift helicopters 3–4 UH-1Y Venom utility helicopters Assault: 22+ MV-22B Osprey assault support tiltrotor Sea Control: 20 AV-8B Harrier II attack aircraft or 20 F-35B Lightning II stealth strike-fighters 6 SH-60F/HH-60H ASW helicopters Additional assets in the area are the "Fast Response Cutter Group" operating out of Bahrain

From the "link" in the link of the article in Thaiger

I do not hide behind any pseudonym, I am not banned form any website to my knowledge. Please elaborate what website you cannot name. Is it the Bangkok Post, Thaiiger, X hamster, Porn hub, CNN, Al Jazeera I would suggest you get yourself, somewhat of life that stops untoward antagonism to others.

@YellowtailIt is rather clear that to date, +1,000,000 Palestinians are not dead yet. Could well be on the cards in the forthcoming days for the.2,000,000 population of Gaza under siege after 2 weeks, allowance of a 20 Humanitarian Trucks gives relief.?

Thankyou@Thorgal However, I was responding to the initial response by @BarraMarra

I have never banned on any site for my view regarding atrocities committed in the name of Judaism, Christianity or Islam. Please explain.

There are no non authoritative propaganda sources. Al Jazeera is my preferred source of news for the Middle East, BBC for matters pertaining to the UK and Europe, CNN for the Americas, (Asean Now for Thailand, perhaps I should go to Thaiger)!

"Sorry Brian" wasn't an apology, rather a term to indicate our viewpoint is different. It is not "my" propaganda that is BS, it is an adverse reporting of events from sources that doesn't fit your perceived narrative from your sources of information.

No, by religious zealots or ideological impaired individuals who deem themselves to be righteous. Christchurch Mosque attack was by an Islamic Fundamentalist? Christchurch Mosque Shootings

Sorry Brian, do not really think flippancy is appropriate, I believe the ongoing escalation will extend well beyond regional borders, and atrocities will extend worldwide by zealots.

There are now going to be thousands of atrocities committed across the world by all religious zealots and vengeance seekers.

Joe has had no firm intelligence confirming his statement that he believed it was "the other team", he also then concluded in so many words investigations are still underway. Thankfully I now do not live adjacent to a Synagogue, Mosque, Church or Temple. Billy Joel The Worlds on Fire

When a person responds to previous post, you need to see to see what was being responded to and why it had response. I realize this is a very emotive subject and much propaganda is thrown into the mix. The world is currently on a knife edge, Joe has now said he believes "the other team" bombed the hospital.

You professed there are no similarities between conflicts of past, similarities are now starting to rear their ugly head.

Brian, I was not in Iraq, Iraqi scud missiles did not internally fall from launch site.

Joe has landed and is giving his first press update, let us hope he can provide a diffusion to the situation.

Until it is different, and it gets similar each and every day through continued escalation by all. Have you had the need to have a gas mask next to you when Iraqi scud missiles were landing in the neighborhood when a conflict strikes up and extends beyond control?

Likewise, similar to the US advisors initially sent to Vietnam.

Again, nothing conclusive from this BBC report, and is also currently being refuted. Skepticism should be applied to all reports from either side. Sleepy Joe has now arrived in Israel, after not viewing decapitated babies yet claiming he had, perhaps, he could have the ability to diffuse the situation, as he will have his own feet on the ground.

Currently the Islamic world has the opinion this was an Israeli strike. USA categorically said "no boots on the ground", Yet 2000 personnel are scheduled to be going in for support etc.. from the first US Aircraft Carrier Group? The second US Aircraft Carrier group is sailing at full steam.
