Hamas strike on Israel - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

Why do they have the support exactly?

What’s gonna happen here is that Israel has just given hezbollah an excuse to open up a second front.

This will bring Iran into it and whatever the USA want to do then.

The 500 poor souls in that hospital will only be the start of the death toll in the Middle East for this particular war.

Oil, to be exact. It's the origin and middle and possibly will be the end of US involvement in the middle east. US economic involvement dates back to the Red Line Agreement, when it and France and UK carved up the Ottoman Empire. It all began with oil. It's all because of oil. It will surely end on oil.

Yep looks like Ramallah could kick off soon.

Wtf were the IDF thinking.

Disgusting. 😡

1,000 killed on the BBC.

News reports right now are saying “Palestinians claim” or Hamas claims - there’s no official independent claim at this stage- what appears to be true is that many people have died.

Let’s see if official reliable news reports can verify

Pressure will mount for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador.

Biden is going to look like some clown tomorrow, repeating the line, "Israel has the right to defend itself", when journalists ask for his reaction to this.

Utterly horrendous

I don't see there being any gain for Isrsel if they did this, especially with Biden en route

so I'd wait to see the real story Which we will probably never know

Muslims watching this injustice happening live on tv and getting more radicalised. There will certainly bloodshed spilled on the streets of Europe over this through Islamic extremism. The West keep making the same mistakes over and over again and are spawning more terrorists.

Screw Europe and their bullsh1t rhetoric “ Israel has the right to defend itself within international law” , these EU leeches are sitting pretty and probably told to stay in their corner?

looking at the pictures/videos on various news channels from the hospital, that strike was another massacre. End of. Many news agencies reporting?

Gaza is now on DAY 10 of a relentless bombing campaign. Israel also bombed two refugee camps apparently which were densely populated around UN buildings , one being Maghazi refugee centre , which were identified under UN jurisdiction and flags but still got bombed. Reports now surgeons operating on ppl without Anaesthetics or painkillers.

they reckon around 5000 ppl dead now in Gaza as the count is currently 3000 dead and thousands missing. I’d say it’s a lot more

Rafah border crossing was bombed 4 times and the crossing is damaged. No escape.

Whilst someone said 1000 here on the thread most news reports I’ve seen say 500.

Whatever the number it’s a serious amount of deaths - I’d strongly urge people not to watch footage of people being blown apart or the aftermath- just be careful it could do lasting psychological damage to you. What you see can’t be unseen - other posters have mentioned similar too
