Netanyahu publicly rejects US push for Palestinian state
ozimoron replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
The hostages will be dead if that's true. Meantime, the UN, the US and the EU all believe that a 2 state solution is the only way forward. If you think their opinions don't count, think about how Israel got there in 1948. -
Indeed. 45% voting against Trump is very bad news for him. I would have expected to see him at 80% or better. This doesn't look good for Trump. It doesn't need many of those 45% to stay home and he's toast. It is NH though, the red state split will be more interesting. Haley won't be quitting real soon with those numbers though.

Israel and Hamas fight house-to-house battles across Gaza
ozimoron replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
The destruction of a civilian house is a war crime. Was this house "by itself"? “Carrying out hostilities with the knowledge that they will systematically destroy and damage civilian housing and infrastructure, rendering an entire city – such as Gaza city - uninhabitable for civilians is a war crime,” said Balakrishnan Rajagopal, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing. The expert said systematic or widespread bombardment of housing, civilian objects and infrastructure are strictly prohibited by international humanitarian law, criminal law and human rights law. “Such acts amount to war crimes and when directed against a civilian population, they also amount to crimes against humanity,” Rajagopal said. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/11/gaza-destroying-civilian-housing-and-infrastructure-international-crime -

Reuters is just reporting that Israel has lost 21 soldiers today. They were apparently mining a house for demolition ( a war crime) when militants fired at a nearby tank, causing the mines to explode. There's a buddhist word to describe that. -
