The Israel-Gaza war and wider Middle-East tensions

75% of your posts are about Israel. Another 20% Cher and then a couple about Girls Aloud. Oh and that's factual. 151 out of your last 200 posts were related to Israel.

So aside from about 1/4 of your posts your content on here is provocative posts about Israel on a site predominantly against Israeli aggression.

How cool are you?

Very cool. I don't need your permission where and what to post.

Oh, and I'm sure that if my opinions were different you couldn't care less.

Deal with it.

P.S.
The aggression is coming from Iran and its proxies that started a war against Israel on October 7th.

P.S. 2
Supporting Israel isn't "being provocative".

No but you do need the wider forums permission. If they don't consent, I'd like to think the admin team will respond appropriately.

I mentioned to COB before he left that he probably posted about Israeli war crimes too much. So I absolutely see it from both sides.

If a poster is one note it becomes notable. According to stats and perception you are one note. Obsessed one might say. Virtually no one else posts in such a way, which speaks to your appearance as provocative.

I and others will never stop calling you out on your shit either. I will personally be happy to see your right wing shit banned.

Deal with it.

I know you and facts aren't friends, but it is a fact you are a provocative one note poster, as detailed above.

Oh and keep only quoting and responding to the bits you think you have an answer for. Deleting the bits you know are true, just continues to show your argument to be utterly flawed and you know it.
 
I think most people here would agree that Nasrallah was a nasty piece of work who probably deserved a missile up the arse, whilst deploring the accompanying civilian deaths and dreading the impact that this is going to have on the stability of the wider region.

It’s really not the win for Israeli security you think it is.

I'm not sure about that. Hizbullah can't do much to threaten Israel at this time, and given that Biden supports Israel's actions I'm not sure Iran will risk it. It will however breed sustained Arab anti-Western hatred in general and U.S. disdain in particular.
 
Many people, including in the Arab world, are celebrating the death of the mega terrorist Nasrallah:

Which is why Iran will always walk away with a win. If the Oct 7th Hamas attack (and Israel's subsequent heavy-handed military response) achieved anything right from Day 1, it's that it thwarted the US' foreign policy to improve Arab-Jewish relations and by extension Arab-US relations. That ALONE makes this whole conflict worth the losses for Iran. It's perpetuated the status-quo, which is arguably even more geopolitically valuable to Iran than its military influence in the Middle East. That's always been the silver lining for Iran, whether it decides to protect its foreign assets or not.

It HAS come at a pretty hefty cost though. Iran's proxies have been weakened. But that's a lot easier to fix than improved Israeli-Arab relations.

I didn’t say at this time.
 
Out of fucking control. Lashing out in every direction. I mean excuse my ignorance but Yemen is a whole Saudi Arabia away.

I suspect the manner in which they're taking no prisoners with absolutely no regard for human life, will ultimately be successful for their short term goals. By doing that they're embedding absolute bitterness and unlocking new enemies that will last for generations.
 
Israel are set to invade Lebanon today (or launch a land incursion as the media are politely putting it).

LEBANON HAS A RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF
 
Because I don't think Biden ever actually believed that a ceasefire would materialize in the first place. He was the one bragging about "We've never been closer to a ceasefire" and "Ceasefire coming huns, bare with" and nothing ever surfaced or even BUBBLED.
 
Bloomberg has some interesting (and depressing) charts that shows the lopsidedness of Israel and Hezbollah's attacks on each other.

How Israel and Hezbollah Are Slipping Closer to All-Out War

Israeli forces stepped up their attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, as world leaders struggle to negotiate a ceas-fire. Data and charts show the escalation.

Well, Israel has the right to defend itself.

It's probably more to keep egging them on than to actually cause any damage to Israel. Iran needs to do just enough to keep Israel fighting and cause as much damage and suffering as possible.
 
The missiles take about 12 minutes from Iran to Israel, seemingly coming over Israel now.
 
though presumably with little to no hope of doing anything?

If this dome thing actually works. Right?
 
There's a live feed on BBC and I presume other channels. An absolute barrage coming down over Israel and some seemingly landing. But could easily be on purpose to excuse escalation.
 
I could totally see Israel allowing a few strikes; absolutely playing into the victim narrative they're successfully weaving with the US
