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

Children which have militant links to Isis of course. Israel don't target civilians.

They are crazy stats if true.

Why are they killing in the west bank?

Is actually 84 people killed in the west bank.

A very grim video on tiktok…. Lad comes to the door of his property in the UK, he’s already filming…. Answers to find a uniformed policeman, who proceeds to enquire as to why said homeowner is flying a Palestinian flag from his residence….

worrying, not the best use of police time, quite intimidatory and must surely be harassment. Quite jaw dropping that in a democracy, you cannot fly a flag without fear that an individual might call the police and that the police instead of… “ I’m sorry sir/ madam, a homeowner may fly whatever national flag they wish, I’d ask you not to bother us again with such nonsense “… its a policeman sent to question the resident / home owner.

such is the awful influence a certain sector of life has over police, politicians and government… internationally and domestically..

You may not be like that but I think a large proportion of the Pro-Palestine movement in the west are as I describe.For example the first thing Mary Lou McDonald did after the Hamas attacks was change her twitter profile image to one of a Palestinian Flag which was pretty appalling behavior considering what Hamas just did.

Israel is going in now. Hamas can't be tolerated anymore, since they managed to invade the state for a couple of days.  if Israel truly cared about the hostages, would they not reconsider their nonstop bombing campaign? Evidence suggests that Israel may have already accepted the loss of hostages.

Israel, as a nuclear-armed state, has a policy known as "nuclear ambiguity," whereby it neither confirms nor denies the possession of nuclear weapons. However, it is widely believed that Israel has a significant nuclear arsenal. In the event of a defeat or existential threat, it is conceivable that Israel may resort to using these weapons as a last-ditch effort to ensure its survival .The world needs to get a grip on this quickly and find a way to give Israel and the Palestinians a way out.

It was a very stupid Iranian master plan, if it was. The weakness seen from Biden does not bode well for the current situation. The act of providing weaponry and aid when an invasion is imminent does not effectively addresses the underlying tensions.

It's a bit much alright but then again a lot of people who fly it are fairly dodgy types who the police will need to at least be aware of.

Wider public safety comes into play as well

Good luck trying to fly the Israeli flag in Ireland at the moment.

That's the thing with the flags, it's all charged.

Fly a Palestinian flag to show support for Palestine while they are suffering comes cross as anti-Israel or pro-Hamas.

Especially right after the terrorist attack (definitely looked insensitive)

The Israeli flag was flown (building's light up by it) worldwide to show support for them in the aftermath of their devastating terror attack by Hamas.

But now doing that would look like support for their punishment of the Palestinians.

The terrorist attacks is old news now, all the media is focused on the plight of the innocent Palestinians. Explains the tweet earlier about millions being spent on ad's to drum up support for Israel.

Our boys over there with the UN should be pulled out NOW.

As of November 2019, the unit is now commands and operates as part on an Infantry Battalion known as IRISHPOLBATT alongside a mechanised Infantry Company from Poland. The UNIFIL mission to Monitor, Support and Assist involves extensive mobile patrolling throughout the Irish Area of Operations including ground holding, monitoring the Blue Line and humanitarian operations. Operations are conducted on a ‘High visibility, Low profile’ basis.

The Irish Defence Forces currently have 340 personnel serving in the mission area. Together with a contingent from Poland, a Platoon from Hungary and a Section of soldiers from the Armed Forces of Malta (AFM), they form IRISHPOLBATT based at UNP 2-45 in UNIFIL Sector West. In addition there are personnel serving in UNIFIL HQ near Naquora and personnel serving in Sector West HQ, Shama.

Though I dislike the account that posted it. Nice to see one of the fash getting tuned up, after he and the comrades went on the warpath after their Palestinian solidarity march. Calling for the extermination of all Jews is a touchy subject in Germany.

Also lots of targets being taken out tonight in Gaza, looking like the worst night so far for Hamas.

Still no answer?

And innocent Palestinians.

Those same "innocent palestinians " who ousted the palestinian authority in 2007 to make way for Hamas !

And people provided information and they were arrested. Rightly so. The behaviour of some people at a protest does not somehow remove the validity of the suffering the Palestinians are experiencing and exactly the same if the shoe were on the other foot.
