Israel losing global support over Gaza bombing, Biden says

Israeli propaganda. Israeli apologists will say anything to deny that this is a continuation of the war that started in 1948. -
Israel losing global support over Gaza bombing, Biden says
ozimoron replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
Clearly it didn't start on October 7 and clearly there were reasons for it to occur. But a report from the New York Times claimed Israel obtained Hamas’ plan for the attack more than a year in advance. The report says Israeli officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, and deemed it too complex for the group to carry out. Other outlets, including Israeli newspaper Haaretz, have also reported the claim. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/01/middleeast/israel-hamas-gaza-intelligence-intl/index.html -

Israel was just living peacefully, doing nothing at all that could be described as a crime against humanity and then, bam, Hamas attacked out of the blue. Nobody saw it coming. -
'Very on-brand': Internet explodes after Nikki Haley can't say what caused Civil War "It's much harder to grapple with the fact that a leading republican candidate for POTUS made a calculated decision to not say 'slavery" [because] of how she thinks the party's base would react," Rodenbush wrote. Even Joe Biden chimed in, saying simply, "It was about slavery." https://www.rawstory.com/internet-slams-nikki-haley-civil-war/

Trump's legal defeat in Colorado may turn into political gold
ozimoron replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
In fact, the report cites a survey conducted by Denison University political scientist Paul Djupe that around 30 percent of Americans believe Trump "was anointed by God to become president." The Economist traces the origins of this line of thinking to Lance Wallnau, a self-declared prophet who has long been seen as a fringe figure but who gathered a following arguing that Trump was God's personal pick for the White House. In fact, Wallnau believes that God will use Trump to crush opposition to Christian nationalism and restore Christians as the nation's rightful political rulers. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-christian-nationalism-2666811546/ -

Fears of regional escalation as Israel warns of ‘multi-front’ war

Some things just don't make sense. I'm not so driven by my politics that I can't recognise that. -
Fears of regional escalation as Israel warns of ‘multi-front’ war
ozimoron replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
I'm not suggesting that Iran has not supported Hamas. Most of their support has come from Qatar and Sunni countries. That Hamas copy Hezbollah tactics should not come as a surprise to anybody but it is indicative of nothing. My comment was restricted narrowly to this particular claim, not the wider question of whether Iran supports Hamas to which I agree. Their religious differences do drive a wedge between them. They are allies because they both oppose Israel. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". This Muslim phrase perfectly encapsulates their relationship. -

ozimoron replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
My point is that whole notion is ridiculous. Hamas did not commit an atrocity in support of the killing of an Iranian general. They committed the atrocities because of their long running hatred of Israel, it's as simple as that. Until now, that's the exact message you have subscribed to, why change now? -

Can you explain why it's apparently a secret that Hamas committed an atrocity largely in support of an Iranian general? -

ozimoron replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
Obviously I don't really know the truth anymore than you do but since Hamas deny doing it in response to the killing of an Iranian general, it seems ridiculous to consider that Hamas care one whit about that general. Note that Iran and the IRG have not weighed in on Hamas' side in this war. Nor has Hezbollah beyond a few skirmishes but nothing close to what they are capable of. Hamas' allies are in the Sunni world, not Shia. If it were true, why would Hamas hide that? It would not have been a secret for a start, they would have proclaimed that at the time. -

The Iranians are patently lying here. Hamas is a Sunni organisation. No friends of the IRG. -

I do agree. Why can you not agree that both sides should face prosecution by the ICC for those war crimes? -
Blow to Biden as poll shows Trump in lead for 2024 presidential election
ozimoron replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Nearly a quarter of former President Trump’s supporters say he should not be the Republican nominee for president in 2024 if he is convicted of a crime, according to a survey released Tuesday. The New York Times/Siena College poll found 24 percent of respondents who said they would vote for Trump in the upcoming election also say he should not be the nominee if found guilty in one of his legal trials, “even if he has won the most votes.” https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4369225-quarter-trump-supporters-oppose-him-on-ticket-if-convicted-survey/
