Israel/Palestine Thread

Turkey will leak the truth about the attack in the coming weeks I would guess.

Netanyahu has justified the “precision strike” on Doha saying it was against Hamas’ terrrorism. Indeed, it was clearly terrorism, but by the state of Israel.

Hamas said its senior leadership survived the attacks. 6 people were killed, one of the dead was a member of the Qatar security services, 5 were Hamas (I understand that the 5 took instructions from the senior leadership team).

US has said it had no knowledge of the impending attack to destabilise Gaza peace negotiations. US has a very large military base in Qatar. Superpower US didn’t have some indication ahead of time? Reports are saying 15 Israeli fighter jets were involved.

Trump’s response to this terrorist attack was to talk doublespeak. It just doesn't make any sense to me that Trump was informed * after * the strikes.

This was an Israeli attack on the mediators of a ceasefire - Israel targeted the chief negotiators of the peace talks. It’s demonstrated Netanyahu has no interest in peace. The world can see that Netanyahu’s plan from the beginning (nigh two years ago) was to raze Gaza, and displace Palestinians. World leaders looked away mumbling excuses like “soft diplomacy”, while international laws were left in the dust.

they have done it again…

If they hadn’t banned champagne the mullahs might be popping corks in Tehran tonight. Regional proponents of rapprochement with the Satans, little and large, have some explaining to do after this.

Highly likely the USA had the ceasefire deal as a ruse to get Hamas leadership in one place for Israel to obliterate them, now they deny knowing but alas it all fits together with Trump threatening Hamas on Sunday while saying Israel had agreed to the deal, there will be no trust afforded to the USA in future.

Listen, Hamas's actions were horrific. I won't defend them. But Hamas didn't even exist when Gaza were first occupied. hamas didn't exist when Israel started with their blockade on gaza. Saying Hamas started this isn't accurate. Yes, they kicked off the latest round of combat, but to say that they started the whole conflict is a bit rich.

And btw, there was a ceasefire in place, with an agreement to return hostages, which Hamas was following. So technically there was peace. And Israel broke that ceasefire, not Hamas.

Qatar did not call the UNSC meeting which is curious.

The UN Security Council will convene an emergency session, at the request of Algeria and Pakistan, to discuss Israel’s strikes on a residential compound in Doha.

The EU interrupted their obsession with Russia to issue a mealy-mouthed statement.

So basically - Israel is pre absolved of any responsibility for their actions, up to and including the crime of genocide, because Sean thinks the world began on October 7th. Whatever they do to civilians, no matter how violent and depraved, is the fault of some long ago defeated gang of terrorists.

Do you genuinely not see how incredibly stupid that pov is?

More chance of the US condemning themselves.

The current Israeli leadership is so unhinged i wouldn't be surprised to hear of this convoy being blown up by the ADF and western governments being too cowardly to condemn them for killing their citizens.
