Israel-Hamas war - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

[Harlequin]

And you think that is good?

Do you? SInce i didnt imply anything at all.

 

[Harlequin]

They told civilians to leave most of Gaza. Civilians have been told to gather in 4 locations based on district of the city, I assume because their safety cannot be gauranteed anywhere else

Or even in those locations.

 

[alchal]

I suspect the ringleaders of Hamas will bolt into Egypt to escape the consequences of their actions when the net closes in.

I imagine they went out well before the operation happened.

 

[Uther]

Electric, water, food shipments, everything needed to basically live is cut off for 80% of Gaza by the Israeli gov.

That will get them support for sure.

It will, because at this moment in time nobody gives a **** about Gaza. Most of the world will turn a blind eye for a while.

TBH if they have Russia and Iran backing this time, they likely believe they actually have a chance.

Yes, white phosphorus is grim stuff. Not that any of this isn't grim.

Well this is just classless.

 

[Iraklis F.C.]

Israelis are going to get medieval on them Hamas, feel sorry for the civilians on both sides though , Gaza will be turned to rubble the next months and will likely stay like this in the years ahead. Totally unacceptable practices from the hamas, they went full jihadists. Now as the ancient Greeks used to say "nemesis is coming for you, it can be felt approaching your soul..."

 

[Kenai]

See this is where I don't agree. They want to starve 2 million Palestinians now?

HAMAS are responsible for these barbaric acts of terrorism and the attacks, and would have expected a heavy response, but why block food to people that mostly aren't involved?

I don't think this is particularly surprising - whilst they're not stupid enough to explicitly state as much, I think the Israeli government would be perfectly happy to flatten the place and wipe the Palestinians out.

 

[Hagar]

Was there anything in particular that kicked this off? (all this started while I was away)

Abraham and Mohamed for starters

Not saying thats untrue.

But HRW arent exactly the best source for this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Human_Rights_Watch

If they do that then they will bring in other Arab and Islamic nations. I'm not sure the US should be giving unconditional support in these circumstances. Yes they (and we) should support our allies. But not when it involves starving civilians and cutting them off from water. I have a bad feeling about this Chewie.

 

[bjorkiii]

Siddimu arent you concerned things could escalate greatly here because i am. Things could soon get out of hand very quickly and what can we as the serfs do about it.

 

[RxR]

It's the hour of the siege.

I live in East Anglia and there are miltary aircraft of all descriptions flying over our house, most days.

Mostly US F15's, I will see those almost on a daily basis.

Quite often see AH-64 Apache's (normally in 2's), I've seen Chinooks with soldiers more or less hanging off it. Plenty of larger cargo style planes (no idea what they are called) and I have seen the Ospreys with the two vertical rotas (I call them Vertibirds which is a Fallout reference). Occasionally Eurofighters although they are harder to spot, and I have seen F35b's as well.

Anyway, basically the point I am making is I wouldn't read too much into that.

At the start of the Ukraine conflict I did see more than usual, unlike usual they would be flying over in formation in threes or sometimes fives, but nothing like that for a while now.

It would be wonderful if you could;
- learn to use the reply function
- spell my name correctly, hell if you @ me you can even get it do the spell checking for you
- not try to make jokes where people are losing their lives over stupid reasons - especially when your life is not in danger.
- use a spell and grammar checker in your posts, even google Chrome can do this for you.

I live in South East and I see a range of military aircraft and Chinn's on a weekly basis. Just because you are curtain twitching now, does not mean what you think up with, is true.

Resupply to Israel is my guess.

The decision not to allow goods to cross the Gaza/ Egypt land border is one made by the Egyptians not the Israelis

As your own source confirms

Similarly, Egypt controls who passes in and out of its border with Gaza.

Context:

Egypt was worried that Hamas control of Gaza would increase Iranian influence. Egyptian Foreign Minister Aboul Gheit also explained that opening the Rafah border crossing, the only crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border, would undermine the legitimacy of the PA.
