Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

The Israelis have taken the level of what's acceptable back to the second world war.

That's the truth of the matter.

Wars in the future will have this as a benchmark for what can be targeted.

'The only functioning democracy in the Middle East' though.
 
Wow. A very strong statement by the Arab nations.



Seems like Jordan is taking matters into their own hands, regarding humanitarian aid. The balls now in those in government in the UK and the opposition, to call for, and organise the RAF to drop aid into Gaza. Seeing that they are already out that way.

 
I saw someone say that without Israel in the Middle East China and Russia would control most of the world's oil. Presumably the idea being they could cut it off. In that context it makes a lot more sense that the West would blindly defend Israel - it's mainly self interest

TBF that “Israel as a secure base for the West” is probably as much of a fib as “Israel is our closest ally” one, and is put about by the same people.

If the Balfour Declaration was never made, and Anglo-Arab relations had continued along the lines that Lawrence advocated, neither China or the Soviet Union / Russia would have gotten anywhere near the region. We would probably live in a much better world, too.
 
An Israeli minister said as much on domestic TV yesterday. Netanyahu also said the PA wouldn’t get back in there, never mind Hamas.

They must know that the Arabs will go to war if they do, they don’t want another generation of refugees.

They will have no choice
 
Can I ask a question? If you call Israel baby murdering land thieves it's deemed antisemitic. What is it called if you use those same words about a different country in similar circumstances? I bet nobody would bat an eyelid.
I'd go a step further, and say those that cheer on Israel without being Zionists either just see them as geopolitically useful to keep the ME unstable, or have a dislike of immigrants, Muslims in particular.

This is how I see it. The third option (that I see often) is that they have no idea and just believe the right wing press. The Israelis have become masters of fake news
