Hamas/Israel conflict: news and discussion

The State of Israel would collapse without US support.
Probably not, there are seven million Jews living in Israel and, despite the colonial settler rhetoric, most have nowhere else to go. However, their relationship with Russia would be firmly back on course if the US lost interest.

Israel along with the Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and Iran is well resourced regional power.

Would Russia match the supply of arms like the US while fighting in Ukraine?
 
I’m sure some Lebanese support Hezbollah as many flew the Hezbollah flag when Israel bombed. I’m sure many are frightened of Hezbollah and don’t speak against them.

My point about Iran is, they’ve sworn the destruction of Israel since Khomieni returned in 1979. They support any groups who attack Israel.
They swear destruction but Khomeini was quite willing to collaborate with Israel during Iran-Contra when mutual self-interest trumped rhetoric.

Israel would still have the wherewithal to manufacture buy and sell weapons from Russia and others without US backing; not that in reality that relationship is going ro end.

And the conflict in Gaza is not invthe sane level as that in Ukraine. As we've seen over the past year Hamas is not capable of mounting a credible resistance to the Israelis.The latter can murder Palestinians and destroy infrastructure with impunity.
 
Advising? Who made you the leader of the pack? So much arrogance on show. You're not advising anyone. You're abusing. This is a discussion forum. You don't have to agree with other posters, but you don't have to be such a rude prick about it.
No, you're abusing. You've jumped in and called me an insufferable nob and a rude prick without my offering you any insult or provocation. You know the rule about not acting like a dick? Why not try keeping to it

So it's okay for you to behave like a prick without being picked up on it? For the record, it's the same clique, you included, who keep on with the attacks, of which I have been included, presumably as fresh meat for the old guard.

If you can't see how you are coming across, then you are extremely dense. I don't believe the multiple pronged attack from the same posters are ignorant of what they are doing though. So carry on attacking, and I will keep jumping in. I don't tolerate arsey know it alls trying to humiliate people.

I am not attacking coffeecup. No one on this thread is attacking coffeecup that I can see. coffeecup has a lamentable want of knowledge about the thread topic. You know that's true. The question then is should you, as an apparent friend of coffeecup, encourage her to continue contributing as she is, relying on the good nature of people here to explain matters going back many years - for example the 1980 invasion of Lebanon. Or should you encourage her to read the thread and online resources on the subject,nothing onerous, things like Wikipedia articles. I don't think you're any friend to coffeecup when you act as you seem intent on doing. I'm not humiliating anyone on this thread, coffeecup seems intent on doing that to herself.

I don’t appreciate being bullied. To talk to someone like you do to me is disgraceful. I’m not interested in what knowledge you have. I don’t care what you think of my posts, so quit giving me your analysis. I didn’t ask for it. And stop stalking me. Did you hear me??
 
Marco Rubio calls for the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu to be called off. Hopefully they tell him exactly what he can do with that. (link goes to the actual bit related to this on the BBC live feed)

“Israel and the US solve their own problems” 😏

They fund most of the groups that attack Israel!
 
I'm really hoping this is so. Obviously can't realistically imagine this being much more than a hiatus before the next horror but, my God, even a hiatus would be a blessing for all right now.

The trick now is to get rid of Natanyahu before he has a chance for any more vileness.
