The Israel-Gaza War (2 Viewers)

4 Israeli hostages freed
Over 200 innocent Palestinians dead in the process


…Is the headline were being fed at the moment

It still amazes me that some people still think we’re being fed pro-Hamas propaganda.
 
Lebanon definitely on Netanyahu’s wishlist.

Let him try. His arrogance will be his own undoing.
 
Netenyahu being incredible UNHINGED in front of US Congress. Fuck humility, he just wants to call anyone with any sympathy for dead children IRAN'S IDIOTS

I never realised before but he also talks like Trump. Explains a lot.
 
Potential escalation between Israel and Hezbollah on the horizon, after someone bombed a kids football pitch in "Israel".
 
The escalation into an Israel-Hezbollah conflict was inevitable, unfortunately. Even if we were to ignore their historical animosity, their rhetoric and impudence in just this war alone always sounded like both parties were itching for a showdown. I don't believe that either of them truly wanted to avoid conflict with each other and I think both governments will welcome a full war. Just a month ago, Netanyahu even said that the majority of the fighting against Hamas is coming to an end, obviously ready to redirect resources to a wider conflict in the north.

Especially when Iran's invisible hand is facilitating it all. Iran has to strike while the iron is hot. Israel has been caught off guard multiple times now and vulnerabilities in their defense have been exposed. Israel basically admitted that the Iron Dome system might become overwhelmed by Hezbollah's weapons (which it has a fuck tonne of). In Iran's eyes, this is the perfect opportunity to keep poking Israel and testing for other weaknesses it can expose. Even if it doesn't result in a war, it'll rattle the Israeli government and embarrass it and its allies. For now, Iran can afford to TOY with Israel because it has such extensive influence across the Middle East. Meanwhile, Israel's allies can do nothing but provide passive support and make futile attempts at diplomacy.

Also, apparently the majority of Israelis support serious attacks on Hezbollah. But I think these were surveys done by Jewish think tanks so some may consider it inaccurate or biased.

I find this unlikely. when I check in with my bestie who's living in Tel Aviv right now he tells me most people there just want an end to it, and above all they want the government out. I really can't imagine a majority of the country wants another year of warfare expanding outside of Gaza - especially if, as you claim, Hezbollah has a fuck ton of weaponry. going into Lebanon feels like a very risky move from a man who wants to burn out in a blaze of glory, and not anything that could benefit Israel.

Yeah I actually looked into that survey right after my post and it turns out it was done by the Jewish People Policy Institute, who I know nothing about. Even IF these figures were accurate, it's hard to have confidence in surveys conducted during wartime. Public sentiment fluctuates and achieving a truly random sample is much harder. We've also seen how governments will literally fabricate and weaponize survey 'results' *cough* Putin *cough*
 
Israel walks round with massive bollocks thinking it's so powerful - Netenyahu will be dead in the next 20 years and he's leaving an absolute mess for the generations of Israelis - and Jews - left behind.

These world 'leaders' are so fucking selfish it's obscene.

This has more far reaching consequences because if the Middle East goes to war before November there’s no way America elects a woman.
 
It really is cunt on cunt action.

But yes the escalation in the last week is pretty scary.
 
Although this largely appears to coming from Zionist/ right wing sources. Apologies for possible misinformation.

Still the west are encouraging their citizens to leave Lebanon ASAP.
 
We're hours/ days from this absolutely exploding into a full Middle Eastern conflict. This time the positioning of Russia vs US is even more explicit.

At what point does it become a fully realised international conflict?
 
All parties are bracing for an Irani retaliation.

Hamas will not join Gaza ceasefire talks, senior official says

A senior Hamas official told the BBC that it will not participate in the indirect talks on a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal due to resume in Doha on Thursday.

The Palestinian armed group wanted a roadmap for implementing the agreement and would “not engage in negotiations for the sake of negotiations in order to provide cover for Israel to continue its war”, the official said.

He reiterated that the roadmap should be based on the proposed deal outlined by US President Joe Biden at the end of May and accused Israel of adding “new conditions”.

Israel’s prime minister has denied doing so and said Hamas has been the one demanding changes.

Lebanon’s Dangerous Campaign against Refugees

Lebanon’s Dangerous Campaign against Refugees

Surging anti-refugee rhetoric in Lebanon could spiral into further regional violence and outward migration. To prevent a conflict, the EU and the U.S. must step up resettlement efforts and condition their aid to Lebanon to stop forced deportations and growing violence.

So now we’re blaming LEBANON for not wanting to take more refugees, but we can all turn a blind eye to the repeated bombings that are causing the exodus in the first place
