If a suburb of Tel Aviv looked like that, there would be hell to pay for whoever did it.

And what hell would be brought upon those who demanded payment?
The Israelis are frantically trying to find a way to deal with the impossible situation Hamas has backed them into. If they invade the Gaza Strip, it’s going to be an utter bloodbath, and not just there — I’d expect a ground invasion by Hezbollah along the northern frontiers, for example. If they don’t invade, they appear weak. It’s an utterly unenviable mess, and thus a brilliantly nasty piece of strategy on Hamas’ part.

hurled unheard to this world.
the attacks of october 7th was a fucking clockwork orange horrorshow.
the al quassem brigades massacre of a thousand civilans is the single worst act of brutality in the israeli-palestinian conflict since defense minister sharon gave the fascist butchers of the phalangist lebanese forces led by elie hobeika free reign for to torture, maim, rape & kill defenseless palestinian refugees in sabra & shatila 1982.
the death figuers range from obvs underestimates of 460 to a 'rough maximum' of 3500; no one knows for sure.
hamas has never done anything close to this scale before. israel hasn't experienced anything like it.
to see the leaders of hamas trying to deny what happened in interviews like the one teqniq linked to rasha nabil vs khaled meshal or sarah ferguson vs basem naim is surreal.
don't know if you've seen this - haaretz list over israel's dead. pictures provided by their loved ones. i took the time to scroll all the way through it, trying to show some kind of respect. it's grim & it just goes on. those 'legitimate targets' - the soldiers - were mostly 19-21 years. the ravers were 24-28 - their older siblings, i suppose.
in this time of national trauma & grief, israel is led by a corrupted criminal & a coalition of fascists & other bastards. & the western major powers offer them 'unconditional support'...
now we got another list of names, 7028 of them. stand by for updates.
we gotta stop this madness now.
...no barrage of missiles, no awesome Iron Dome defenses, no brutal airborne firepower will ever compare to the strength it takes to create a lasting peace. To learn to love the children of the enemy as much as you love your own.

At this time Hamas remain tight-lipped on whether they will be significantly increasing Council tax.

It seems the Saudis aren't going let Hamas knock them off course:

I think we can safely assume that the Saudi public will not be allowed a say about that or anything else for that matter

I think we can also safely assume that the UK public will be allowed to have their say, which will then be completely ignored. Which is worse?

Being ignored probably preferable to being flogged or disappeared in the middle of the night tbh.

A complete ceasefire is pretty much a non starter as far as I can see. The only acceptable endgame for Israel now is the complete eradication of Hamas and vice versa. Not really a basis for negotiations.
There might possibly be the odd pause to let aid in and give time for both sides to tool up ready for the next round but what's been done (by both sides) can't be undone and there is no going back to the situation on Oct 6. This conflict is going the distance.

Tracey is a nasty hypocrite though. He's whitewashed atrocities of both Assad and Putin, claimed the Bucha massacre was fake. He belongs in the same bin as Glenn Greenwald, Max Bleumenthal, Ben Norton, Aaron Mate and all the other fake-left RT/Sputnik/Grayzone grifters.

You may be right. But the complete eradication of Hamas will also mean the complete eradication of Gaza as a place to live any kind of normal life, probably mass murder of thousands of civilians, the displacement of god knows how many Palestinians to god knows where, probable renewed carnage in the West Bank, likely hostilities with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and much more. That would mean the end of any possibility of peace for years to come and the end of any two state solution. So Israel has to be encouraged to step back. So western governments have to start applying pressure and no longer give unconditional support for a supposed right of self defence.
