It's pretty grim reading. The EU threatening to strip members of voting rights and sabotage members' economies unless they do what they told is extremely disturbing. I am increasingly glad that the UK is no longer a member Actually given that Hungary has for a few years now failed to live up to the...

Perhaps, I note I had a number of typos, just to say, whether it is a "oh we can twist this to suit a poor women and children narrative" or "they missed the 'legitimate' military targets, so we are decrying this attack on civilians (but will only mention the women and children anyway, because sympat...

. It is interesting to note that both sides supposedly targeted militants/terrorists with their attacks and both insisted that it was largely women and children who were killed by the enemy strikes. This seems to be something of a theme in the region. Perhaps, like cobblers in the UK traditionally ...

Most recent attacks in Iran are from Pakistan, the Iranians allegedly fired missiles into Pakistan to kill militants and Pakistan retaliated. Both sides may actually dislike the militants in question. But just in case this slipped below the radar.

It seems everyone is bogged down in history and definitions. The Israeli state is not the people of Israel. Hamas is not the Gazans or Palestinian people. Complicit means supporting or aiding in the actions. So first, the US and UK are complicit in the actions of the Israeli government (which many p...

I also have little interest in South Africa playing games on the political stage Can you explain how something becomes "political", I think the way this phrase is often used is to discredit the actor for doing an inherently political thing. So I am curious how you think that politics should be kept...

No, I mean people who are worried about ethnic cleansing in Gaza must have been listening to the rethoric of those in charge. Aka, there is a difference between a politician and a minister. Edit: I don't say anything about the millions of Israelis whonot only disagree with the government's action,bu...

AN ISRAELI MINISTER has today called for the return of Jewish settlers to Gaza and said Palestinians should be encouraged to emigrate, a day after similar remarks by another far-right politician.

In what universe is that the question? How on earth are you managing to frame the Gaza conflict as an Israeli plot to claim additional real estate? What this is about from Israel's perspective, what this is very obviously about, is Israel's ability to live without the very real and perpetual threat...

Great example of ethnic cleansing. The question is whether the current Israeli government intends to allow settlers take over large deaths of Gaza after the bombardment ends. Whether, like in East Jerusalem, people are being removed from their homes to be replaced based on ethnicity. They are curren...

I hate the settler movement too by the way, so do many Israelis - in this instance, I agree what Israel's government has allowed to happen is indefensible. This much we agree on. I don't think I have made statements about what most Israelis think or claimed they are responsible for the actions of t...

So I don't see why you would default to assuming Gazans will live there after the IDF pulls out (when many no longer have homes, or the resources to rebuild those homes). This is a reasonable default assumption. It is wildly implausible that hundreds of thousands of Gazans will be permanently displ...

Well the only evidence I have so far is the removal of people from their homes, the destruction of those homes, and the illegal settlements in the West Bank (along with previously removed illegal settlements in Gaza). So given the history and the current evidence, I am making the claim that this is ...

I can't see how this is not what Jamie predicted: https://www.thejournal.ie/israeli-troops-gaza-un-khan-yunis-6240561-Dec2023/ IDF moving south, tells Gazans to move, nowhere left to go? Ethnic cleansing by any other name. They might not be 'moving everyone into a grave' but removing them from their...

I haven't seen anything about it. What about the US growing a spine and questioning its unlimited support for Israel? https://youtu.be/Tmq8Tx6qApw You haven't heard anything about the ceasefire ending? That seems like really big news... No, i am aware superficially that a ceasefire happened and end...
