Israel are going to start WWIII

Will FIFA act now that Israel have put one of the Lebanese international footballers in intensive care after their latest terrorist attack on Beirut?…. answers on a postcard

Former British Army officer Andrew Fox wrote this article about Professor Mamode.

https://mrandrewfox.substack.com/p/professor-nizam-mamode

Mamode travelled to Gaza with Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), which claims to be non-political but, after an investigation in 2015 by NGO Monitor, was revealed as having an alarming pattern of promoting "a polarizing anti-Israel narrative under the guise of medical expertise and facts".

Mamode's claim that drones were picking-off children day after day is deeply implausible. It is unsupported by any evidence other than the hearsay that he repeats. As he said later in his testimony, he was never anywhere near a drone firing.

IDF conventional forces don't have the drone capability that Mamode claims they have. Mr Fox has checked with 3 independent sources at various levels of the IDF who have given him reliable and solid insights that have, in the past, proven true. The mere existence of the drone capability doesn't mean that the IDF have it. The IDF have had to raise funds for body armour and medical supplies. The IDF has very high-end capabilities but some of its reservist units have struggled for equipment.

2 other issues arise:

Firstly, given the predominant pro-Palestinian narrative of the IDF targeting civilians and the constant flow of footage out of Gaza, it's inconceivable that there would not be footage of this if it had happened.

Secondly, we're expected to believe that a child who has been repeatedly shot by an IDF drone would survive. It's possible that Gazan children are exceptionally hardy but there's a dichotomy here. The IDF are accused of being high-tech assassins of innocents, whilst simultaneously being the worst shots on the planet, unable on a daily basis to finish-off a wounded child. It makes no sense.

Whether or not Mamode is a fluent speaker of Arabic is unknown. It's possible that he relied on an interpreter who gave the Hamas line. He admits that there's no evidence other than hearsay for the things he described.

So the Democrats lost the US election because of Bidens support for Israel?

Yeah, cos the Republicans are so anti-Israel.

Yeah it definitely dampened enthusiasm and the people most likely to be enthusiastic active campaigners for Harris, are the same kinds of people who were bitterly disappointed by her shameful support for genocide.

The pro Israel voters were all voting for Trump, so it was an open goal for Harris to campaign on human rights and ending all support for genocide. That would have given Democrats and independents someone to vote for, and not just rely on a duty to vote against Trump

THe 2 US parties are no different wrt Israel. Unwavering support for genocide.

Anyone can do a quick Google search of Medical Aid for Palestinians, and NGO Monitor.

I will take it at face value you haven't done this before you demonised one - which is attempting to provide aid to a maligned people suffering a genocide in possibly the most dangerous location for doctors to work on this earth - and placed the other one in your post as a genuine independent arbiter of this aid organisation.

I'd ask you to look up both and let us know if you think your assesment is still accurate?

Lastly, whether this is true or not, the source you provide for saying it didn't happen is the IDF. If they admitted this, they would be admitting to a war crime. Do you think they would admit it if it was true? Do you expect anyone should believe that they would?

Had the Dems been reelected they would just have continued supplying weapons to kill women and children.

Blood on their hands.

One glimmer of hope is that nobody is entirely sure just what Trump thinks of Israel and Netanyahu and whether he would be keen on arming them with many billions of dollars for four years - some analysts suspect he might be a fair weather friend who ultimately doesn't give a toss about them.

There was a warning. Israel always issues a warning before they attack. I know that and you know that, more importantly. Unlike that man in the video, they decided to ignore the warning.

We know what Trumps priorities are and how he behaved in past in the region:

1. Himself to avoid all court cases and punish anyone who wrong him
2. Enrich his family (Ivanka and Kushner are now richer than Trump due to all Mid east deals)
3. America third

First: Iran directly tried to assassinate Trump and he has now installed some wildly anti Iranian hawks, Iran is enemy of Israel hence Israel are his friend

Second: Him and his family openly joked in public about all that prime Mediterranean real estate

Third: Defence companies be busy lobbying for contracts and this directly helps with #2 goal

The far left and Muslim Americans who either stayed home or voted Trump or third party against democrats are going to be in for a shock and loads of crocodile tears, found it funny that there were reports of celebrations of Trump win in both Israel and Lebanon, one of these are going to be disappointed

I would have agreed with you, but this time Iran came swinging for him

Last time there wasn’t a direct attempt on his life by Iranians

Now it’s personal

BTW he doesn’t give two **** about “waste of money” the federal debt exploded under him including massive increases on military spend, the DOGE will amount to not much more than noise and in few months Trump be saying “Elon whom? Never knew the guy” also Trump tax cuts will need to be renewed soon, which will add trillions more to the debt pile

there seems to be an awful lot of denial on this thread about Trump and people forgetting what he actually done in past, what he says is often irrelevant as the dementia riddled brain of his often speaks out of both sides and contradicts himself, what he actually has a history of doing is more important

Kier Starmer is still confused if a genocide is actually taking place or not. He seemed quite clued up on what it is back in 2014 when he was an ICC prosecutor in what happened in Croatia.

Fantastic to see.

There is something very weird going on between UK Labour and Israel - I've seen suggestions they are very compromised because of that 'Labour Friends of Israel' lobby group and relations with the Israeli embassy (talk of dodgy funding practices and money changing hands).
