Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

Speaking of which, overnight a school used as a shelter was bombed in Gaza City - reports say 90 dead, many wounded.

Netanyahu trying to derail ceasefire talks via again.

I was going to say the Israeli threshold for collateral damage is going beyond even my worst expectations, but then I do wonder if they’re collateral…

… because more dead Gazans is probably what they desire, regardless of their military or political links.

While I see this developing into a wider regional war, I don’t see it escalating to nukes and dragging in US, China and Russia.

If Iranian hits in Israel are big enough then Israel will respond conventionally with cyber, cruise and ballistic missiles.

The worrying thing for me is the quote from the Israeli war cabinet that they would possibly have to operate IDF aircraft from Greece and Cyprus in the event of large scale attacks. Iran responded by saying if that happens then they would consider attacks on those states. This has the potential therefore to draw in the EU /NATO as Greece will defend Cyprus and the EU / NATO will defend Greece.

Netanyahu’s time is up I think. Hopefully someone from his own side will slot him and end this madness.

Iran are all talk mate

I am beyond words and anger. Just numb at this stage. This regime is pure evil incarnate.

Honestly at this point it’s very easy to think the very worst of the Israeli state.

The acts, the words, the timings of both - all seem to me to be quite clear evidence of genocide.

You can do whatever you want i guess as long you are on Uncle Sam side.
Just imagine reaction if for example Serbia started doing on Kosovo (again).

US says they are "deeply concerned by Israeli strike".
Sounds like bad joke at this point.

Kudos to the Irish Government again.

I repeat I am not a supporter of any party in the coalition Government but I acknowledge their consistency in message since October and before then.

Hopefully the ICJ ruling will force the UK into following suit.

Origin unknown but I don't think Palestinians or Iran are bombing villages in Lebanon.

Compare the reactions

Ukraine attacks its aggressor - indifference from UK and US, Biden keeps close relations with Ukraine

Palestine attacks its aggressor - outrage towards Palestine from UK and US, Biden promoting fake narratives about Hamas' actions, terrorist state leader (Netanyahu) invited to address US congress.

The Western bias is shocking. We all know in the Senate and the Houses of Parliament it's very politically advantageous to align yourself with Israel, whereas to stand for Human Rights you'll probably be smeared as racist. And with arms sales to Israel and arms exports to Ukraine, the ruling classes need to keep schtum about the horrors and murder their greed has caused. All that said, Ukraine's actions in recent days really have shown us just how facile our mainstream media is and how rooted they are to the principle of profit over peace.

Said it earlier in this thread, but if what Mugabe did to the Matebele was genocide, and what happened in Srebrenica is also genocide, then there's absolutely no way this isn't, and Netanyahu and his generals, and their soldiers, need holding to account.
