Not a lot of options available? What would some posters suggest? Let them carry on disrupting shipping? More than 2,000 ships have changed course to circumvent the area so far. A huge amount of resources are being spent on Operation Prosperity Guardian with the UK, US, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea and Singapore, protecting Red Sea shipping. Sometimes you need to stand up and take the least worst options available. Biden Has No Good Options in Yemen The decision to bomb the Houthis was likely the administration’s least bad path. The strikes, which targeted Houthi military installations and missile supplies, were aimed at weakening the militant group’s ability to launch attacks against commercial shipping lanes as well as restoring deterrence against the Houthis and other Iran-backed groups that have stepped up their attacks on Western targets in the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, U.S. officials said. Yet the strikes also revealed the limited batch of mostly bad options the United States has for dealing with the Houthi attacks as it scrambles to contain the regional crisis sparked by the war. https://archive.ph/aMSi2 https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/01/12/us-yemen-houthi-airstrikes-red-sea-israel-hamas-gaza/ -

Spokesperson of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs "The Israeli legal team dismantled today South Africa’s case, one false accusation after the other! South Africa tried to use the people of Gaza as legal human shields to protect Hamas’ crimes. By supporting Hamas, South Africa itself is in violation of the anti genocide convention! I am incredibly proud to be part of this amazing team!" https://twitter.com/LiorHaiat/status/1745824133827457223

There was someone a lot more sinister sitting behind him. While the Israeli side had Hostage parents in the audience, the South African side had ex terrorists. Jabarin is a senior former member of the PFLP terror organization who recently announced that his people took part in the deadly terror attack of October 7. ▪️He was tried and convicted for his military activity in the PFLP and has served multiple prison sentences. ▪️Jabarin has employed several operatives of the PFLP in Al-Haq, all of which have served sentences in Israeli prisons on the grounds of terrorist activity. https://twitter.com/DrEliDavid/status/1745799447089442906 https://twitter.com/EFischberger/status/1745800345899475164

The UN Security Council resolution a couple of weeks ago called for the immediate release of hostages with no pre-conditions. It did not call for a ceasefire. Israel did however call for a ceasefire with Hamas in return for another Hostage/prisoner swap. Hamas refused. Me thinks you've not been paying attention at all.

Netanyahu rejects claims accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza
Bkk Brian replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
That links already been posted and you also clipped my post so here it is again. "The IDF says two Al Jazeera journalists targeted in an airstrike on Sunday in southern Gaza's Rafah, were members of terror organizations in the Gaza Strip. The strike was carried out after the IDF said it spotted a terror operative piloting a drone, and subsequently hit a car they were in. Hamza Wael Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera's Gaza correspondent Wael Dahdouh, and Mustafa Thuria, a video stringer for AFP who was also working for Qatar-based television, both died in the strike."
