Hamas Attacks, Israel Responds II

They assassinated a negotiator in Iran FFS. And that's after Iran showed extraordinary restraint the last time Israel assassinated someone in Iran. The current Israeli government is practically begging for escalation.

At this point I don't have the slightest issue with Iran raining down bombs upon Israel and the USA doing fück all about it.

 

Something like this is bigger than Bibi. Israel will, hopefully, still exist long after Bibi's political career is extinguished.

Israeli citizens lives are at stake here too.

 

So, how do you call those currently living/murdering in the Westbank?

 

Egypt won't help defend Israel against Iran's retaliation according to this.

I do have issues raining bombs indiscriminately on civilians, whether it's the idf or hama doing it.
Raining down on military targets, be my guest, as long as civilians arenot hit in the process.

 

Don't think they have much to join the party with.

 

They have a variety of air defense equipment that could have definately helped. Israel would not have bothered asking them for help if that wasn't the case

 

They didnot detect that Tel Aviv drone.

 

And they still asked for their help

 

Execrable, similar to what happened in Texas. However, the existence of Israel the state in some manner or form is valid and moral.

 

Is it ok to quote many here who have said, "They shouldn't have voted for him" then?

Seriously, though, unlike their Palestinian neighbors, Israeli civilians can put a stop to this if they want. They don't have to let Bibi drag them into who knows how many wars that they can't win alone and I'm not sure how much stomach the US has to help. Sure the powers that be are ready, they always are, but civilians here? No appetite for it.

Bibi and his regime are going to get Israelis killed for his own selfish ends.

 

Really a disturbing statement from a high official with the Israeli government. Shows the extend to which they don't see Palestinians as humans

Smotrich: Might be ‘justified and moral’ to cause 2 million Gazans to die of hunger, but world won’t let us
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich implies he believes that blocking humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip is “justified and moral” even if it causes 2 million civilians to die of hunger, adding however that the international community won’t allow this to happen.

“We are bringing in aid because there is no choice,” Smotrich says at a conference in Yad Binyamin hosted by the Israel Hayom outlet. “We can’t, in the current global reality, manage a war. Nobody will let us cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger even though it might be justified and moral until our hostages are returned. Humanitarian in exchange for humanitarian is morally justified, but what can we do? We live today in a certain reality, we need international legitimacy for this war.”

 

This disgust should be extended to the entire government trying to normalize and rationalize a genocide. Nothing these nutjobs are doing are for the good of Israelis. How is it in the interest of their Israelis to have their country's reputation completely annihilated, its economy getting destroyed and now facing war which will most likely lead to another exodus - just so a lunatic keeps his position. I don't buy the excuse of just one guy "having leverage" over Netanyahu, they all think like him

 

As is the existence of a Palestinian state. And those "settlers" in the West bank are doing their darndest - with the support of the IDF and the current Israeli government - to prevent there ever being a Palestinian state.

 

A setback for the Netanyahu regime

Oh please overall the Jews are fine in Canada unless you're trying to imply they have it worst than Indigenous peoples in this country - which to that I'd also say you have no clue what you're talking about.

As for the Israeli government, you might have some with a conscience - I'll concede that but the examples brought forward at the ICJ about genocidal statements (shocking actually) by government officials made a lot of skeptics

 

If Israel really goes through with this, they would be making things far worst for themselves

I was born in Montreal and live in Toronto - I assure you that Outremont, West Island and the Bathurst areas are very secure outside of isolated incidents that you're implying are rampant. They are far from being the worst off here than the way indigenous people are still being treated here.

 

Why are you bringing up the plight of indigenous people in regards to this subject? So because Canada treats them even shittier then that makes everything else okay?
