Had Israel never been created by the UN do you think the same problems would have happened? I do not. Ban Islam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck telling the 2 billion Muslims that their religion is banned. Are you volunteering to tell them?

Things are not looking good economically for israel. The thousands of reservists are not working now and they need to be paid. Tourism is dead. Will the US taxpayer have to prop up israel? Oh dear, what a shame. https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/hysk3zxba From a macroeconomic perspective, this latest war has threatened the Israeli economy and society in a way not seen since the Yom Kippur War in 1973 https://www.timesofisrael.com/war-with-hamas-to-cost-israel-at-least-nis-27-billion-bank-hapoalim-projects/ The cost of the war between Israel and the Hamas terror group is estimated to be at least NIS 27 billion ($6.8 billion) as of now, according to initial projections by Bank Hapoalim. https://www.timesofisrael.com/shekel-tumbles-to-7-year-low-of-3-87-against-the-dollar/ The weakening Israeli shekel took a further dive on Wednesday, dropping to 3.87 against the US dollar, its lowest rate in seven years.

Is he willfully blind to the impending invasion. Does he think they are just going to leave after destroying everything?

I missed the name, but agreed with what he had to say. Given I'm opposed to the war since the beginning I want funding to end. I'd prefer there had been no money from start as much of Ukraine would not have been destroyed and many lives saved. IMO it will end with land being ceded to Russia anyway, so all pointless. It's hard to claim any success for the Ukrainian summer offensive- a few villages is not winning. Now the Russians have all winter to prepare for next year's offensive.

Inconsiderate <deleted> morons that like to abuse others with their <deleted> noise are the curse of modern life.

Why is the default position of the intolerant that some of us couldn't attract a partner in home country? Most of us did and came to regret that we did. I wish I hadn't been able to attract a western partner as I'd have had a happier life.

In Saudi I had a western supervisor that converted to Islam. He got annoyed when I called him by his Christian name. Changing his religion didn't stop him being an idiot.

IMO all women are the same, wherever they come from.

Lemmon was OK, but Walter Matthau always irritated me.

8/ Horrid parents that stick their sprogs on a seat when adults are standing.

Unfortunately the nasties are everywhere, so it's difficult to avoid them now.

The world is populated by millions of unpleasant, nasty, inconsiderate morons. Is it any wonder that I want off it?

The day that many of us have been hanging out for has arrived. Fingers crossed the junk gets dumped today.

LOL. Trump was elected to poke a stick in the establishment's eye. Why would he voluntarily comply? Biden is the epitome of the establishment.

Hopefully that situation will change when biden gets dumped in the election and the GOP occupy the W H.

Al Jazeera reported that some Gazans were killed by bombing as they attempted to use the "safe route" to move to the south as ordered by israel. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/live-blog/israel-hamas-war-live-updates-rcna120252 70 killed after convoys of evacuees in Gaza hit by Israeli airstrikes

Agree. Wars are often about making money out of other people's misery.

If certain posters wonder why I don't respond to their posts quoting me, it is because they are on ignore. My ignore list is growing quite fast since this conflict happened.

Just watched israeli mobile artillery firing on Gaza ( on Al Jazeera ), which puts the lie to israel's claim of only firing on Hamas targets. Mobile artillery is not a precision weapon. Meanwhile the West Bank Palestinians are becoming restive. Settlers are reportedly killing Palestinians, backed by the israeli army. The flash point of Al Aqsa is full of israeli soldiers- what could possibly go wrong with that? The world is watching, the world will not forget.

The Russian ambassador to the UN is speaking and pointing out the west's hypocrisy regarding Ukraine vs Gaza, which is well founded. He also said that the situation is the fault of the US that uses it's veto to protect israel, which I agree with. Unlike the peace loving americans, he says that Russia is calling for a ceasefire. So far, no official american has called for a ceasefire, that I have heard.

I just caught part of Upfront interview on Al Jazeera UpFront We challenge a Hamas spokesperson and an Israeli official on violations of international law in the current Israel-Gaza war. The israeli, who's name I missed, claimed that they would end the conflict and allow food, water etc as long as every Hamas person surrendered, but unless they did so the attack would continue. He was smiling when he said it, so perhaps even he knew it was never going to happen. He didn't say if they would rebuild everything they destroyed. He also said something about how a big tent city with food, water etc would be built ( I think ) in the Sinai for all the Gazans that left Gaza. He didn't explain how they could leave when israel is bombing the border crossing to Egypt.

The facts are pretty simple. On November 29 1947 the UN decided that they could partition Palestine against the wishes of the Palestinians that lived there for generations, and gave one part to israel. Arab countries disagreed and went to war, but were defeated. The Palestinians have fought back ever since, but were abandoned by the international community ( perhaps because of guilt or american pressure ) Israelis illegally occupy the area the UN gave to the Palestinians, build illegal settlements, and oppress the Palestinians in their own land. Last week the Palestinians fought back. The israelis are bombing Gaza and the international community is ( so far ) ignoring the plight of the Gazans ( perhaps they should call themselves Ukrainians and they would get unlimited support ). If I were to attempt some opinion about the future, it would be that many western people will see the israeli siege for what it is and turn against israel, Arabs will join the fight ( with or without the consent of their governments ), the conflict will spread to soft israeli targets outside israel, and the situation will continue to poison the Middle East ( and the wider world ) till one side or the other is eliminated, but lets remember the Palestinians are reproducing faster than israelis, so time is on their side.

LOL. The usual pro israel propaganda that ignores the 30 years of provocation by israel. Reports on Al Jazeera of deaths by live fire from the israeli military and settlers in the West Bank. Is israel trying to provoke an uprising in the West Bank, so they have an excuse to bomb West Bank Palestinians into oblivion as well? Is that why america has been sending more munitions to israel- because they don't have enough to bomb the West Bank into oblivion as well as Gaza? I was wondering why america would need to send more. Has netanyahu miscalculated the west's response? A very large protest in New York against israel, reportedly including anti zionist Jewish groups. Even one Irish politician coming out openly against the israeli attack on Gaza, and I'm sure more to follow. Even the UN is starting to point out israel's war crimes. Massive demonstration in Bagdad. Seems to me that there will be many willing recruits to attack israel on the northern border. I'm sure that Syria is looking to see if they can join in. While the neutralised leaders of a few Arab nations will probably try to stop becoming involved, the population's outrage may force them to get involved. The longer the siege continues, the more difficult it will become for western politicians to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear. The order for over 1 million Gazan's to relocate in 24 hours is an example of israel's over reach, as it's obviously impossible for 1 million people to relocate in 24 hours, not forgetting those patients that are unable to be moved in hospitals. After those able to reach the south, where will they shelter, what will they eat, what will they drink? Is israel sending tents, water and food? The world will be watching, the world is watching.

Are you an advocate of genocide? Seems that that is what you want from that post.
