Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

[Toffeeslam]

Gideon Sa’ar an Israeli cabinet minister is advocating taking over parts of Gaza saying ‘the only thing the Arabs understand is loss of land’……anyone think this was always part of their plans ?

Israel wants peace my a£$€

Land grabs more like

And Egypt are doing that

Don’t be a bell

Egypt isnt welcoming Gazan refugees? How sick is that?

They've got more than a thousand tonnes of aid ready to go, it just needs someone to promise not to blow it up.

Israel is creating refugees? How sick is that? How sick are you?

the Israeli government have lost the plot:

Israeli minister seeks arrest of journalists who 'harm national morale' in new regulation

Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi's proposal would allow Israeli police to arrest citizens, including journalists, for disseminating information critical of Israel

Sounds familiar.

The Israelis seem bent on biblical revenge.
News media showing mass tanks and other AFVs massing on the borders.
There are no tanks to fight do they must only have mass demolition of buildings in mind.
Pure retribution on the poor people of Gaza for what Hamas did to them.

It is. This time I think Israel will destroy the whole of Gaza, right or wrong that’s what I think they will do. Well done Hamas…,

this is fantastical thinking

Israel isn't letting food or medicine into the Strip yet; even the water, which Blinken said would be turned back on, may not actually have been.

Doesn't much matter if the water's on if there's no power with which to pump it.

I’ve started digging my bunker in the back garden.

I’ve got a couple of cellars that I’m having reinforced…..

Fascist government showing its true colours. Again.

Yup. My worry as well. US has just deployed additional sqns of F15-E and A-10’s to its airbase in UAE.

2 carrier battle groups on task and Iran threatening all sorts.

Could go bendy very quickly

Indeed, the USA are basically saying keep out, but if Iran were to do anything the USA and Israel would be more than happy to bomb the crap out of them, and they know it…hence the got nothing to do with us line……

Interesting point, where were the US fleet and carrier (now in the med) prior to 8 days ago?

I think it’s as much about trying to calm the Israelis down for long enough that the siege conditions are lifted, and wiser councils prevail.

There is an almost total unity between the surrounding and regional states on this siege ending immediately and substantial talks starting shortly afterwards. The old days when the region could be bullied into tolerating this sort of thing are gone and are never coming back.

I think you may be surprised. Egypt wants nothing to do with it, nor Jordan. Hezbollah may wish to from Lebanon but that would be the end of them, Syria has enough going on. Saudi wants to deal with Israel so won’t get involved. It’s Iran and only Iran trying to stir this up, but most Arab countries do not trust or indeed hate Iran. Iran will not publicly show its face or intentions because it knows it would face massive retaliation from both Israel and the USA …Iran likes to pull other groups strings…..
