Exact locations of the storage depots etc ?

hold on, let me phone up my contact in US Military Inteligence to tell me the exact location all those tanks, APC and ordnance bins were rolling to as they were being offloaded the multiple C-17 Globemasters at the military end (LOD Airbase) of Ben Gurion Airport around over 10 years ago when I was landing at Tel Aviv which is around the time US were fully withdrawing from Iraq. Which as a stop off point makes no real sense as there are numerous Nato bases en route to the US that have air strips more than capable of handling ordance and military hardware transfers.

I have been working in Israel for months at a time every year since 2007 as my company HQ is there. You get to see very interesting things when you are parked on a runway at the far end of Ben Gurion Airport and you can be bothered to look out of the window.................

Undoubtedly some of it is probably what the US contracts to IL as part of their regular arms supplies as Shermans figure in the IDF's MBT lineups, also the US doesn't do a particularly good job of not plastering the US Army Star over all it's ordnance shipping crates. I would assume that regular shipments from arms manufacturers would not be covered in US Army livery unless it was being freighted directly out of a US base via another airbase e.g NATO airbase to a US Base or theatre. For Syrian operations they were running from bases likely in Izmir or Incirlik in Turkey and of course off carriers they had out in the Med as Israel is not technially a NATO member so running missions from IDF airbases is unlikely to be the norm although they do have Non NATO ally status.

Was supposed to be in Kfar Saba at the end of this Month for November and part of December but obviously not happening now. I would estimate its going to be at least untill next June before we are cleared to safely go back.

People see videos of some Arabs/Palestinians laughing about atrocities and extrapolate this as being representative of all Arabs/Palestinians, it really annoys me.

Such videos are propaganda designed to dehumanise ordinary civilians plain and simple.

The same goes for any polls coming out of countries ruled by authoritarian regimes claiming support for said regimes.

Crikey, pantyhoes are serious business

The thing is you rarely see the other Arabs condemning it. Silence is violence and all that

Lebanon would love hezbollah to take on Israel.

They've been a massive pain in their arses for a long time and were most likely responsible for the harbour explosion a while back
This is why the US are moving in and others are getting ready to send military aid. Israel Leeroy Jenkins it in 1967 when they fought 8 countries at once but things have changed and it looks like Iran is behind a lot of these actions but I doubt is the only one.

Who would give them a voice anyway, do we ever hear from ordinary Arabs and the Palestinians living and dying under a brutal occupation which violates international law and any sense of human decency?

Who would give Arabs a voice? What? Lol.
 
Maybe Israel have been putting sleeper cells in for years trying to get them to blow up and that in turn gives Israel the perfect excuse to level the Gaza strip once and for all when it eventually kicks off

Are you disputing the details? The nation state of Israel has used WP, agaionst a hospital? This in itself is a breach of international law and a war crime in fact the UN has been attacked by WP


Using WP as anything than battlefield illumination or directly against military targets (although it's use as an antipersonel munition is ethically suspect as per protocol III on the use of certain conventiional weapons) ammounts technically to a breach of the geneva convention. If you are going to use WP munitions and you can't guarantee that civllians aren't going to get killed / injured etc because your primary target is in a civillian area then you are not supposed to employ them in that particular theatre. Last time I looked at the amp the whole of Gaza is a civillian area due to population density. So even though Hamas are a shower of ***** and hide their gear in hospitals and schools that still isn't a free pass to burn the civillians to death in a righteous rain of WP munitions.
 
My point is that we see the Palestinians/Arabs through the lens of dehumanising propaganda videos not through real reporting from the media which is probably why our understanding of the situation is so poor.

I abhor violence and it's sad to see such a human tragedy unfolding in front of my eyes.

unlikely. Hamas don't need help to invoke religious insanity and based on Hamas record technially the IDF could have rolled in there at their leisure anytime they liked. The only thing stopping them is the fact that even the US wouldn't be able to choke down that level of civillian killing.

I still think it's possible. It's much easier to add fuel to make a fire bigger than it is so start it from nothing.

I'm pretty sure the videos I've seen of them murdering innocent civilians in cold blood and desecrating their bodies are real.

They don't need anyone else to dehumanise them....

They manage that all by themselves.
