Israel are going to start WWIII

Then you might have expected the Gazan government not to start an all-out war? But like I said, it's literally Hamas strategy.

Maybe because the world is not naïve to believe that Israel has any option other than all out war against mortal enemies?

On the contrary, they are the best: their deaths make great PR. Hamas knows this, which is why they work to get as many killed as possible.

So when an ambulance is actively targeted and blown to pieces that is Hamas PR making the Regime do it?

Considering Hamas' openly declared policy of using human shields as strategy, it wouldn't surprise me if Hamas were using ambulances in the conflict, or hiding themselves, weapons or firing positions behind/around them.

Firing positions around a moving ambulance? That's beyond remedial.

You are just victim blaming and excusing mass slaughter aren't you? At least be honest about it.

You might not have heard, but the Germans were quite good at rounding up people they portrayed as enemies of their state. Turned out to be quite a useful mechanism. As we see it being played out in real time in the Middle East today - perpetrated by the zionists and lapped up by their blind supporters

Why did Israelis snipe Catholic nuns in Gaza? Were they human shields as they returned to their church with milk? Why did they riddle Hind Rajabs car with 300+ bullets, was she a human shield? Why did they riddle three of their own hostages with bullets, were they human shields?? Why did they bulldoze multiple Gazan cemetery’s, were the corpses human shields??

The internet has absolutely destroyed Israel’s modus operandi. The entire world can see what they are up to and the human shield bs is exactly that.

I don't think the pagers strike was that precise - certainly not "the most precise strike in human history". I can't even imagine how you could could determine how precise the attack was over the last week, let alone over the entirely of human history…

Israel has certainly carried out very precise strikes - taking out specific individuals by sniper fire. Like the three surrendering hostages and the nuns. Certainly, if you want to call it the "most precise strike in human history", I'd say Israel could apply for the Guinness World Record of "Precision killing of sheep by sniper fire"?

The pager explosions in Lebanon certainly were very precise, AFAIK. Still Israel was criticised for it though …

Hamas were all out yesterday to launch a dozen rockets for the special occasion of Oct 7th, a year ago the were able to launch thousands and send in an invasion force of 3000 men.

Hamas are effectively done, there will be mopping up but and some attacks but the days of them being a force are over.

Have they achieved some objectives from their invasion of Israel, certainly but anything that they need for waging war will no longer be left in, steel, concrete, bulldozers, tunnelling equipment ,weapons, metal machine tools and on and on. The strip will be divided in to cantons, personally i think it is a mistake to have anyone north of the wadi. Let that be a nature reserve.

He is correct that by forcing Israel. To fighting an urban war that it would damage Israel, that worked and people who never game a shi7 about the million and a half Arabs killed in the region are now raging because a fraction are dead but one side are y15s.

What choice did Israel have, none as far as I can see, life is very often about making do and trying to get the best outcome out of crap paths forward.

The Israelis are now also looking at this generationally and they means iran.

Most of the neighbouring govts want peace and normality with Israel, they wouldn't let a Palestinian within 50 metres of the border.

The Jihadi types don't care about peace, that Israel is Jewish is all that matters, that women wear bikinis, gays have parades there, that is enough reason to destroy it and say you took the most lickspittle rich kid leftist who wanted a 2 state solution built in solidarity and inclusion. They would hate him just as much.

When Bibi Baskin is gone the govt will not have a different approach. His flaw is he was often too slow to pull the trigger in politics, the next govt will not be so.

Remember the peaceniks and lefty types were the ones Hamas hit the hardest.

Maybe the military option will only provide a temp fix but not doing it provides no fix and was never an option.

When the mullahs are gone from Iran, it will return to being Israel's closest ally in the region.

If it was an Arab army going in to Gaza. It would be over months ago and there would be several hundred thousand dead.

He is doing well in the polls, so he could well be re elected. His biggest flaw, which you overlook, is thinking he could manage Hamas because it helped him incrementally realise the vision of the Likud Charter. Hamas were a great foil to have because he could always point to them and say you can't make peace with these people. As I mentioned he boasted to colleagues that propping up Hamas was the best way to forestall a two state solution. Still persisting with your childish look over there mentality to defend Israeli war crimes. Karadžić should have used this defense at the Hague. Look your honor I may have engaged in a spot of ethnic cleansing, but be thankful because an Arab army would do far worse.

In other news, I see the mossad was likely trying to disrupt and undermine the work of the ICJ . Just another crime for you to defend, but I think you outdid yourself with your excusing the IDF assisting Al Nusra.

Impose international arms embargos on supplying any weapons to Israel until they enforce a full ceasefire in Gaza and allow full humanitarian assistance into Gaza, and stop striking targets in Lebanon and Iran

As far as I can tell, Netanyahu's end game is to create a bigger 'buffer zone' where the population of Gaza are pushed further and further towards the Egyptian border into smaller camps while the rest of the land gets cleared and prepared for jewish settlement.

That's as clear as day. Whether he gets away with that, depends on how the rest of the world reacts to this.

In 10 years time, if we don't stop them, we'll be wringing our hands about how dangerous the Rafah refugee camp is, and every time a firework goes off, the Israelis will bomb the camp, killing dozens each time hoping that they population will choose to leave (and that the international community will find somewhere to house them)
