Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

[davek]

I see - but in the real world they are one in the same so your 'stand aside' ultimately means the destruction of the Israel.

The destruction of an apartheid state.

At the risk of praising a war state/terrorist organization, am amazed at this attack; makes me want to rewatch Munich, except for the sadness of it all.

TBF like the aftermath of Munich this will probably turn out to be a better legend than it was in reality.

A maniac state, utterly maniacal.

Don’t worry, I am sure USA, UK and the EU will call for “calm from all sides” and insist Israel has “the right to defend itself.”

Meanwhile, the landgrabbers just carry out attack after attack after attack on other countries. Sickening.

I do wonder what people like you want Israel to do. Hezbollah have sent rockets almost daily into Northern Israel causing evacuation of most homes on the border.
Bombardments into Gaza? Terrorism. Ground troops in Gaza to go into tunnels? Terrorism. Targeting Hezbollah members by detonating pagers that are on person? Terrorism.

Do you just want Israel to sit idle and do nothing? I think i know the answer - you don't want an Israel in the land of Israel.

The problem Israel has is that its current regime are reducing the debate to just that equation - either this Israel, with its racist and religious discrimination, its expansionism, its serial interference in other states, and its messianic vision of the world, or no Israel at all.

I can well see why the neighboring countries, and the local non-Jewish population, and many non-Zionist Jews, would prefer no Israel if that is the choice they are faced with.

I think if we're talking about the nigh on simultaneous explosion of hundreds (possibly thousands) of devices, causing many fatalities and serious injuries, we have...

... to surmise that it's caused by an explosive component and not a lithium iron battery overheating. I won't show the graphic images of people injured.

However, you can see from this that there's some serious punch in these IEDs. This is asymmetric warfare on a new level, with their command and control targeted.

If their planning allowed them to weaponise components in the supply chain it's incredibly impressive and equally alarming.

If you read the replies, you get an idea of how complex this operation will have been.

It is a movie like operation if so. There'll be serious scrutiny of the supply chain by Hezbollah and Iran (Iran's ambassador to Lebanon was apparently carrying a Hezbollah pager), to see if it is a security breach, and/or if someone took a brown envelope. KYC and all that.

Irish Government continues to act responsibly regarding Gaza. Not a fan of any of the parties in Government but credit where it is due.

Plan to bring 30 children from Gaza to Ireland approved

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has secured Government approval to bring 30 "very sick children" injured in Gaza to Ireland for medical care.
