Massive Israeli Strikes Cut Internet in Gaza, IDF Begins Ground Operations

1. Israel knows that Hamas is underground and will not be harmed by the bombing. Israel is not targeting Hamas they are targeting Palestinians.

   This is either Collective Punishment or Genocide. All Israel leadership must be arrested and sent to the Hague to answer for their many many crimes against humanity.

   The US leadership who supported Israel committing atrocities must also be arrested and presented to the Hague. Iran is the new US target and US is about to attack.

   Any soldier who fired on civilians must also be arrested and presented to the Hague.

   In truth all western leadership must be arrested and presented to the Hague. They are a stain on humanity and evil, evil monsters.

   1. Is there an opening at the State Department? I nominate you!

      1. You want me dead?

         1. Lol……..

            You are a very wise man. I enjoy your company, your intellect and sense of humor.

            😉

   2. The day before yesterday I read that there are discussions between the U.S. and Israel about using nerve gas. The discussion involved sending units of our Delta Force to Gaza to instruct and perhaps assist in applying the gas to the tunnels. Yes, using chemical weapons. Some of that gas will reach Palestinians above ground, and, there is a good possibility that it will not only read Hamas militants, it will reach the hostages. If hostages die, now, who do you think Israel and the U.S. will blame? Anyone venture a guess? By the way, Israel is not a signatory to the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons
      Convention but the use of biological weapons has been illegal for nearly
      a century, since the 1925 Geneva Protocol.

      1. Rape and castration are also illegal.

         1. You have evidence of Netanyahu raping and castrating Palestinians?

            1. No, he’s using the ghost of Yossef Romano, who had the complete chance to live and not be castrated if he kept his cool and made it to the tarmac whereupon his kidnappers would not be opened fire on by German cops, as a slam against Abbas and therefore by comparison all Gazans. Great that he moved the “I can’t convince them so kill them” reticle to the West bank now.

            2. No, no internet and journos are perhaps being targeted So the word of what is happening is going to take a while to get out.

         2. So are unfounded stories.

            1. Go take a look at the videos.

      2. First neither the US or Israel has a stockpile of nerve gas. Secondly Israel has deep seated reasons not to use deadly gas.

         1. Supposedly, we have been destroying our stockpile. Have we really? There was a destruction plant constructed in Touele, Utah in the 90’s. Right from the start, before the destruction began, there were serious problems with the plant. At the time, we were living in Orem, Utah, and it was all over the news. It is ironic that the place where the plant was constructed was one of the towns that got hit with the drifting fallout from the nuclear tests. From Wikipedia: he United States ratified the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention, which came into force in April 1997. This banned the possession of most types of chemical weapons. Notice: “most types of chemical weapons.

            1. Under “most types” I would assume tear-gas is one exempted from prohibition.

            2. You would assume wrong. Article I, Section 5 of the Chemical Weapons Convention expressly bans use of “riot control agents” in warfare.

         2. Yes, they can do their mass killing by simply using unchallenged airstrikes and starvation. No need to be exactly like the Nazis.

            1. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2023/10/26/this-is-what-it-was-like-to-be-indifferent-to-nazi-genocide/

         3. You really believe that ? , was it Nulan who admitted the US had 21 bio labs in Ukraine ? , and who knows how many black sites they have researching bio weapons ect which will be passed to the Zionists to use .

            1. Nerve gas is not a biological weapon, it’s a chemical weapon.

               And the existence of biological labs tells us nothing about whether those labs are used for weapons development.

            2. The world became much safer after Pentagon bio-labs were kicked out from Ukraine.

         4. “…reasons not to use deadly gas.”

            More importantly, the current gov’t of Israel is wholly unaware of irony, and would manage a way to claim “because it was once done to us, we have the right to use it on someone else”.

            ‘Store Credit’, if you will.

            1. Zionism is a pure evil based upon some mythological fairy tales. It is just an other version of Nazism. It is logical that they use the same methods as Germans 80 years ago.

            2. I would agree to an extent – that Zionism as practised, particularly where it requires (or demands, or permits) displacement and extermination of extant peoples in a region, is evil. Defining ‘evil’ as that which causes the most harm to the most people while providing little benefit for a few people.

               That said – if “zionism” was the peaceful and cooperative desire if Judaism to establish a religious homeland…while it is admittedly a racist notion (a place for “only (X) people to live”) I do support the will of any people, be they Flemish or Scots or Quebecois or Kurds or Donbasi’i or Catalanese, to self-determine and self-govern.

            3. Zionism is not about self-determination, it is about a colonization and ethnic cleansing. The story about “ancient Israel” is a fake created five hundred years ago.

            4. Capital-z Zionism, yes, you are correct. But a desire for an ethnic Judaeistic homeland (an Armenia, sorta), tho a tad racist, is a permissible goal if it recognizes a desire of self-determination of people NOT at the expense of extant ethnic groups in a region.

               I do believe there was a Semitic tribe in 400 BCE calling themselves Israelites; there’s archaeological evidence enough that it’s a mundane claim.

               Do I believe their god was real (or that any gods are) ? No. All religions fall into one of three categories :

               1. Not evidently true.
               2. Evidently NOT true.
               3. Both 1 & 2.

         5. Ñot sure how you can be so certain of what America has stockpiled for chemical weapons and how you can gauge Israels intent to use or not use. Clearly the zionist learned nothing from their holocaust experiences, just look how they operate their Palestinian prison camp!

            1. I can’t be 100% sure of course, but I would bet that US has destroyed it stock pile of nerve gas. There is no reasons to keep them. As for Israel, the use of gas in the Holocaust weights deeply on their mind.

      3. Rape and mutilation as a method of warfare are also illegal.

         1. What Hamas did was wrong, does that then permit the “civilized” nation to also do wrong?

            1. People will do what ever is necessary for survival.

            2. Pfft, this is revenge more Israelis are going to die in this operation, they hostages are likely going to die in this operation.

      4. Israel regime used already white phosphorus munition in Gaza.

      5. Keep in mind everything they do they eventually bring home and use against you. These people are psychopaths, monsters consuming humanity.

         There are no limits on their crimes, they shot down MH17 and blamed Russia, they blew up Nord Stream and blamed Russia, they had bio weapons in Ukraine and blamed Russia, they shelled nuclear facilities and blamed Russia.

         These people need to be stopped before they kill us all.

         1. The men of science calculated that in case of a big nuclear war, 100 million people will die in the first hour, 5 billion will die in the first year. That is the price for allowing capitalists to rule a great country armed with nukes.

            1. That sounds optimistic

         2. Iran’s hatred for a country with which they share no boundries, their 3 separate terrorist armies fuels the fires of war.

         3. I am not sure there exists a greater evil in our modern world than the US Federal Government. And the only thing enabling to enact such evil is the role of the $ as the world’s reserve currency. End the dollar, end the empire.

            1. The greater evil is the oligarchy political system. It looks, the evolution of American capitalism couldn’t end up otherwise. In Bible it was described as Mammon the major enemy of Christianity.

            2. As if wealthy and middle class Christians don’t love money.

            3. Everyone loves money. However in countries where Christian ideas are strong, the big business doesn’t manipulate the governments.

            4. Meanwhile,how many benefits do the antiwar denizens collect from uncle?

      6. The US didn`t sign up either hence the use of Chemical Weapons in Vietnam .

      7. If one side breaks the rules of warfare in a bestial fashion,should the other side be expected to play by the Marquis of Queensbury rules?

   3. So you support placing Hamas terrorists on trial.

      1. How about putting on trial all of the leaders of Israel for continuing the concentration camp for Palestinians for 70 years. Pretty remarkable. Don’t you think. It is so laughable that the Palestinians would seek revenge then their actions be called “unprovoked”. I would like to lock you in your house (or apartment), restrict your movement, food, water, electricity, drop in every once in the while to mess you up, mess up your home, perhaps shoot one of your relatives, then see if it doesn’t drive you mad, mad enough to do something terrible.

      2. I support putting all murderers on trial.

         I condemn the unprovoked fires in Gaza, the right to defend means we should bomb and kill all fires then we can help the Palestinian people.

         Hamas was created by Netanyahu as a counter to Yasser Arafat’s PLO. Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.

         In the same way that ISIS is a US proxy to occupy the ME. ISIS does not represent the people of the ME.

         1. !!!

         2. Hamas was born in a refugee camp. A part of the greater concentration camp known as Gaza.

            1. Now they are pressing Egyptian government to allow Palestinians to move into Egypt. If Egyptian government gives in, they will establish a big refugee camp over there. Then they will invest money in a new terrorist organization based in that camp. Not necessary to do it directly. They can do it through Qatar. Qatar is also the main sponsor of Hamas. Qatar is a rich small country with a big US military base.
               If Zionists achieve a cleansing of some lands in Gaza of Arabs, they will give those lands to new settlers. Then they will allow Arab terrorist to attack the settlers and use it again as pretext for further ethnic cleansing. That’s how it works.

      3. In Western liberal thought one notion is innocent until proven guilty.

         1. It did once up on a time not any more , now here in the UK you have to prove your are innocent as you are deemed guilty from the out set .

         2. Who will put the Hamas beasts on trial? You?

   4. “Israel knows that Hamas is underground and will not be harmed by the bombing” Not true, a 2000 pound can indeed damage the tunnel system by taking out entrance ways and air shafts down to level of 30 feet. One can build a tunnel 200 feet underground, but one still have to get to it and one needs air for breathing and for the power generators.

      1. Hamas are well away from the bombing they know the Zionist have bombs capable of reaching them in the tunnels , infact most will be over the borders of other countries .

   5. Hamas was created by Israel and US for splitting and undermining Arab anti-Zionist organizations. They used Hamas against Assad in Syria. Now they use Hamas as pretext for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

2. No witnesses.

   1. Exactly.

3. This will be the end of the “Israel experiment”. You heard it here first.

   The only question remaining is whether it will be “TEOTWAWKI”.

   1. Can you tell me what the Israel experiment is? And how will this be the end?

      1. I refer to the entire Zionist enterprise beginning in the late 1800’s.

         It will be the end because Israel will end up being attacked by Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Iran, Jordan, Egypt, and especially Turkey (which alone can destroy Israel). Israel, even with the help of the US, can not withstand that level of war.

         Should Israel resort to nukes, that will bring in Russia and China and Pakistan. Russia alone can neutralize the Israeli nuclear arsenal from the Black Sea – with the sole exception of the rumored Israeli nuke-tipped cruise missiles fired from their three German diesel submarines – those could be taken out by Russian and Chinese attack submarines. I assume both Russia will be monitoring Israeli nuclear forces should the conflict advance that far and Russia will keep China in the loop.

         The issue then is: will the US directly engage Russia?

         1. Therefore, Israel will have to go first strike. Moscow has nuclear mines in it. There are now 6 Israeli N subs. Russia and China have their own problems.

            1. One of which is Israel. If Israel launches one nuke successfully, the entire world – minus the US and UK – will come down on Israel. It’s over for Israel. They either negotiate now or they’re done. And they won’t negotiate because they’re Zionist fanatics that make ISIS look normal.

            2. Who is the agressor here?

            3. Goodness is strength, friend. True strength is the ability to do something terrible, yet always choosing not-to.

            4. Use of nukes will be terrible.If Turkey masses its armies and marched them through Syria-a couple of tactical nukes could thump them-totally moral. Iran has 80 million people vs 8 million Israelis.

            5. Use of nukes will be terrible.If Turkey masses its armies and marched them through Syria-a couple of tactical nukes could thump them-totally moral. Iran has 80 million people vs 8 million Israelis.

            6. Tactical nukes aren’t that effective unless an entire army is massed in one local area. If Pakistan supplies Turkey with nukes, Turkey will nuke Israel if Israel uses nukes on Turkey. If Israel uses nukes on Iran, Russia and China will nuke Israel – they have strategic alliances with Iran if not actual military alliances. Russia can take out Israel’s nukes without using nuclear warheads using Kinzhal missiles which can reach Israel from the Black Sea. Putin already has put MiG-31Ks with Kinzhals on patrol in the Black Sea aimed at those US carriers in a pointed warning to the US to not mess with Syria – and probably also Iran.

         2. I can respect your first paragraph. The next two are pure nonsense.

            1. Hope you’ll be back here when it happens to discuss.

            2. I will be more that willing to discuss with you if your predictions come true. In fact if they do I will give you great credit for an amazing prediction. But that is not going to happen. US gives too aid and/or military hardware to Egypt, Jordan or Turkey for them to turn on Israel. US will go to war with Iran if they attack Israel. Syria has no real military power. Russia is tied up with Ukraine. China does not give a darn about this saturation. And why would Pakistan get involved? That only leaves two organizations left that do have some fire power, but no ability to sustain an attack.

            3. Pakistan already offered nukes to Turkey. China has six warships en route. Have you listened to Erdogan the last couple days? Syria doesn’t need military power – it has Iranian militias and Hezbollah militias available. Hezbollah alone can destroy much of Israel with 50,000-130,000 rockets and missiles much better than Hamas can use and can sustain its attacks for months. Iran has 350-500+ missiles that can hit Israel and a thousand more that can hit every US base in the region. As Scott Ritter points out, Israel’s infrastructure is SMALL. Egypt, Jordan and Turkey are under pressure from their populations. Do you comprehend the pressure of religious war?

               You are so clueless about the military situation it’s amazing.

            4. OMG. You see the military world with little or no understanding and you call me clueless. Your fantasy of all these countries ganging up on Israel has existed for 75 years and it has never happen. And it will not happen.
               Let us make a bet. Excluding Hezbollah which are also nut jobs I will bet not a single one of your alliance of anti – Israel countries attack Israel over this current Hamas war. You on for the bet?

            5. I am not saying that EVERY one of those countries will attack Israel. But every one of them has the internal motivation to do so because of population pressure on those governments. Some of those governments are themselves so motivated. IF enough of them do join in, Israel will not win because it no longer has the military wherewithal to defeat these countries which are more powerful than they were in decades past.

               Go listen to Scott Ritter explain all this on Judge Napolitano’s recent videos. He explains in detail why Israel is no longer the military power it once was, aside from its nukes.

               The notion that because something has not happened that it will never happen is juvenile. Not to mention betting.

            6. “IF enough of them do join in” None of nations that you mention will attack Israel. What would they gain? If they start to win the war, they will receive 200 Kiloton nuclear bombs on their major cities.
               Hezbollah might attack because they are not rational. But they and Lebanon will pay an awful price for the attack.
               PS, I have listen to Scott Ritter and I am not buying what he said.

            7. Fine. Agree to disagree. But you’re an idiot.

            8. The reasons why most of the Arab regimes are unlikely to go to war with Israel again have little to do with the prospect of getting nuked and a lot to do with the economic and “security” ties that bind. Back in the late 1970s, I remember Menachem Begin throwing a temper tantrum over the US providing the AWACS to Saudi Arabia, but he had it exactly backward. These US arms deals with Arab regimes make those regimes dependent on the US for replacements, parts, training, etc., and once you’re locked into a particular line of weaponry changing is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. And that’s above and beyond non-military trade and/or aid.

               Hezbollah doesn’t suffer from any of those weaknesses vis a vis the US. They don’t sell oil to the US. They don’t get welfare checks from the US. They don’t buy weapons from the US. They’re powerful enough within the Lebanese political system to largely be able to make their own decisions concerning affairs along the border with Israel. And the last time Israel went up against them, they whipped Israel’s ass.

               All that said, Hack’s modus operandi is to make grandiose military predictions, call anyone who disagrees with those predictions an idiot, stomp off to sulk when he turns out to have been utterly and completely wrong, then come back later with a new set of equally grandiose and equally wrong military predictions.

            9. I think you have it correct about the reasons not to attack Israel. The interesting thing about Hack’s prediction is that I made the same prediction in May of 1967 to one of my good Jewish friend when I was in 8th grade and was starting to get interested in geo politics. I got that one wrong. 100s of books later and 1000 hours of watching international news tells me while Hack’s prediction is possible it is highly unlikely.

      2. As a supposed democracy. It ain’t. It is a Zio=religious monstrosity now. it is no friend to the U.S., not with its spy network. Remember Pollard? He should never have been released.

   2. Well, at the end of the 1967 war, Moshe Dayan was interviewed. He said that if 10 years hence, Israel was still an occupier, it would mean the end of the Israel experiment. He also said that the Palestinians would “live like dogs”.

   3. the Samson option is still out there

      1. Cowards don’t have the courage to pull a Samson move.

         1. Netanyahu has already invoked religious justification and a vague reference to end times. I’m telling you we are dealing with nutcases who think they are chosen and a cut above the rest of us . Because of evil lobbies america is forced to go along with this

            1. Bibi will be ousted by his own men. They now wonder if he looked the other way for this attack to take place to form an emergency governments when he tried 3 times previously and failed.

            2. They couldn’t have done this rampage without a goodly number of casualties on their side. Otherwise, they would have had to pull back after their normal disproportionate pounding of the strip. That 3 day warning from Egypt prior to the Hamas attack just went away without much discission.

            3. One can hope there are sane, moral people in PM Netanyahu’s proximity who can’t let this go on any longer. Mathematically, there HAVE to be good people willing to do the right thing.

   4. “TEOTWAWKI”

      Wasn’t that the nice fellow what did the recent Thor movies ?

      1. Don’t know…haven’t watched the last one yet. Still sitting on my hard drive.

         R.E.M. – It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

4. This is not a good sign. Knocking out the communication system tells me that the ground assault is underway. I was hoping this would be avoided, but I could not see how an invasion would not occur. The next 24 to 48 hours will tell us more.

   1. Men, women, children will be crushed, or rounded up to be treated horribly. This “war” is not against Hamas, it is against the Palestinians. Seven thousand are dead. Two thousand are children. Mark my words, even if the hostages are released, Israel will not stop until all Palestinians are dead or are in tents in the Sinai, where they will die. We will not do a d*mn thing to stop it. When it is over. Nothing will be done, just like after Cast Lead and Protective Edge. Who remembers them? It will be forgotten. In the rubble of Gaza and the West Bank there will spring up wonderful towns, with paved roads, parks, schools, where Israelis can live wonderful carefree lives.

      1. “We will not do a d*mn thing to stop it”. But america is an “exceptional, compassionate, fair, democratic ” entity. If anyone believes that lie then you are a foolish citizen

   2. Do you really think a pogrom will go unavenged?

5. I have doubts that if Hamas were to release the hostages that Israel would then stop the bombing, the ground assault. The objective is to remove the Palestinian “problem” completely, by way of driving them to Rafah crossing, killing as many as possible along the way.

   1. What would Gaza be like without Hamas…..It would be the West bank, ie no different.

      1. It would be the same concentration camp.

      2. Abbas could serve as the Vichy Mayor of the entire prison Provence. I bet the Israeli overlords would even buy him some nice shiny new suits.

         1. I applaud you!!!

            1. You’re too kind 😉

            2. NOT at all.

         2. Mahmoud Quisling

      3. Well considerably better then. Hamas was elected, once, 18 years ago when half the present population of Gaza wasn’t even alive. There is a pretty fair argument to be made that Hamas doesn’t represent particularly the average Gaza, that they are as much prisoners of Hamas as they are of Israel.

   2. Let Hamas turn themselves to Israel for trial and punishment,and spare the people of Gaza.

      1. Let the IDF turn all of their killers over to a Palestinian civilian court along with all of the settlers committing targeted murders…you are too funny guy…

6. What strikes me most is the so-called leadership over the entire globe, that two outlaw states can hold the world hostage while Israel does its best imitation of holocaustII.

   1. Spot on, spot on!

   2. you must mean Iran and north Korea.

      1. Are they currently bombing a 139 square mile strip of land with 2 million inhabitants that are defenseless and left with no necessities of life such as food and shelter?

         1. Correct. And to a large measure,they are also victims of Hamas. In most countries,the man in the street suffers from the actions of bad government. Hamas does not speak of easing of tensions and bit by bit progress,however unsatisfactory.They refused Oslo and Trump,and dream of “from the river to the sea”.The winners are the ideologues and haters. another woman in Iran was just murdered by its religious police.

            1. Are they currently bombing a 139 square mile strip of land with 2 million inhabitants that are defenseless and left with no necessities of life such as food and shelter?

               Would you like to try again? This time with something other than gibberish. But I get it. Iranian police killed a woman so that must mean what Israel is doing is justified.

   3. The result of allowing the American USD to become the reserve currency , many countries especially small countries are scared of being sanctioned the very reason many like Russia , China ect ect ect are moving away from the USD but it will take years to achieve the collapse of the Dollar , it took the US 100 years to take over from British sterling reserve currency.

      1. The Dollar Downfall will be a lot faster than you think this time around…!

7. oops!

8. UN chief said “It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.

   They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing.

   But the grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks by Hamas. And those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.”

   For this truthful statement his life was threatened by Israel and they screamed he should resign. There is no good in Israel its an evil, evil construct. Netanyahu is an evil, evil man, an insane psychopath.

   1. Very liberal,to condemn millions of people for alleged wrong doing of their leaders.

      1. You really really don’t see the irony of your own words, do you.

   2. There was never going to be a two state solution that was to keep the Palestinian people quite while the Zionist built greater Israel , America , Britain ect ect all new this but said nothing because it was the Zionists who can do no wrong , if the I.D.F kills every last Palestinian in Garza the Zionists will be given a free pass as they were when they attacked the USS LIBERTY and killed many US sailors even committing war crime when they straffed life boats full of US Sailors trying to escape their attack.

      1. “even committing war crime when they straffed life boats full of US Sailors trying to escape their attack” That is pure nonsense. USS Liberty was never abandon by US Sailors.

   3. And do you really think Israel can let two million Gazans who hate them into its own tiny country.

9. If the zionists are hell bent on destroying Hamas, what’s stopping the ‘mighty’ apartheid zionists army from going into Gaza to confront Hamas head on and kill every Hamas if they want to, instead of indiscriminately aerial bombarding everyone else? What’s stopping them? The weather? Seriously? Or is it growing some balls proved to be impossible.

   1. It really takes balls to shoot babies in their cribs.Israel fights smart,not the war its enemies would like.

      1. Prove that happened..it didn’t..most of the people killed were Israeli armed forces and police. Israel has a bad habit with fabricated hysterics..lying has always been their forte’.

         1. Absurd. How about buying a piece of green moon cheese. Prove to me that Israel is bombing Hamas.

10. A senior official of the Palestinian Hamas Movement said on October 28 that the Israeli large ground operation in the Gaza Strip which began a day earlier was foiled.

    “The enemy fell into ambushes prepared by the Palestinian resistance on a number of fronts, and since the beginning of the battle there have been defensive plans against any attempt,” Barak, who is based in Lebanon, said.

    According to the official, Ali Baraka, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attacked from three axis, but failed to advance and suffered “heavy losses” in manpower and equipment.

    1. “Palestinian Hamas Movement” That is interesting. Linking the two together as one.

11. I just read that Musk has decided to make starlink available to Gaza.

    1. True, but someone needs to air drop its equipment on Gaza…!

12. Just read this. It is hilarious. https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2023-10-26/israel-to-pay-compensation-for-ships-damaged-in-gaza-war The caption needs to read: U.S. to pay compensation for ships damaged in Gaza war. That’s how it works.

    1. It’s actually a pretty big deal, and it’s part of a bigger big deal.

       The risk of damage to ships and cargoes means insurance premiums may increase, shipping companies will be cautious about visiting Israeli ports, shipping charges could increase, etc. And that’s just one of the ways that this mess is bad for Israel’s economy.

       Israeli Markets Under Renewed Pressure After S&P Cuts Outlook

13. Why isn`t the Arab world rising up against the war criminal Zionists who are systematically killing every Palestinian they can find ? .

    1. Because there is no unitary “Arab world,” and most of the regimes ruling the various states comprising the highly varied “Arab world” are more interested in what they perceive as their states’ interests than in the interests of the Palestinian Arabs.

       1. Yes, but the Arab street is on fire and few of those regimes can afford to ignore that. We shall see, but if the disaster continues to develop as it has so far, at least some Arab, and other Muslim, states will have to take meaningful stands.

          And so on. Protest is not limited to Muslim countries.

          The Middle East Eye story on a Brooklyn protest has my favorite photo so far:

          1. If the Arabs streets on fire so what?

             1. “so what …”
                exactly

             2. Are you just an insufferable asshole who can’t help yourself or did you post this because you don’t read English well and didn’t understand the first sentence of my post?

             3. Can you write something without being insulting? I wrote “so what” because those regimes will (1) ignore them and (2) they won’t take a true meaningful stand because what are they going to do? As Tom pointed out below they are not going to go to war against Israel. They tried that 4 times and failed. So tell me what meaningful action can they do?

             4. I routinely write without being insulting, and sometimes I insult. I insulted you because I think that’s an appropriate response to your posts on this issue. You’re an apologist for genocide — a smug apologist for genocide. Insult is a comparatively-mild response.

                I have no idea what action the referenced regimes might take. I simply suggest, as do many others, that the moods and opinions of their citizens can be ignored only up to some limits — and even without knowing what, precisely, those limits might be it is obvious that they are getting close.

                Don’t make the mistake of thinking that history always repeats itself. The past is certainly prologue, but what it is prologue for isn’t as predictable as some might wish.

          2. Yes, the “Arab street” may force some of the region’s regimes to act … but it’s extremely unlikely that they’ll act to anything like e.g. 1948, 1956, 1967, or 1973 levels.

             1. At least they’re unlikely to act in the same ways as then. But there’s increasing pressure to act meaningfully.

    2. Because they’re steamless and have no balls…!

    3. Because the leaders of the Arab countries don’t care about the Palestinians. They abandon them more often that not.

    4. Same reason no country in the Arab world will take Palestinian refugees.

14. I’m sure Biden understands what a holocaust is?… And Israel too…

    What is about to befall the Palestinians is a slaughter and many more innocent Palestinians will be killed…

    1. Yes, many Palestinians will die and get hurt thanks to Hamas very stupid Oct 7 attack.

15. I doubt that the Gaza Health Ministry (Hamas or otherwise) is able to accurately count the number of people killed. I would suspect that it is much, much higher than 7000 given the destruction we have seen. But here’s the beauty of it. Israel has now successfully killed all communication with Gaza so now it is a vast black hole. We won’t know the real death count for months or years after Israel has finished. Given the circumstances I would not be surprised if Israel successfully snuffs out the lives of all 2.3 million Palestinians. We simply won’t know until Israel decides to allow communication. It just seems like they want to eliminate the Palestinian people off the face of the Earth (or at least in Gaza) and present the world with a fait-accompli and then claim that Israeli’s were the victims.

    1. If what you are saying is true, why did Hamas on Oct 7 give Israel the keys to turn this elimination machine on?

       1. I don’t believe they expected this kind of massive response.

          1. Well that was a bad miscalculation by Hamas.

16. One gets the impression that the IDF doesn’t want people to know what they’re doing. I wonder why?

    1. oh certainly they have everybody else’s best interests at heart.
       “i am cutting off your internet access for your own good!”
       “because i don’t want any of you to hurt yourselfs!”
       “it would be my deepest regret if you stubbed your toe on my watch!”
       what

    2. Because they don’t want their failures exposed…!

       1. or their murders

17. Here are the 14 countries, which voted against the Friday UN Resolution to end the humanitarian catastrophe that Israel is creating in the Strip of Gaza. (120 countries voted yes and 45 abstained):
    US, Israel, Austria, Hungary, Paraguay, Guatemala, Czechia, Croatia, Marshall Is., Fiji Is., Micronesia, Papua New, Nauru, Tonga.

18. And Israel threatens to destroy Starlink. With the loss of all communications to Gaza Musk has promised to make Starlink available to all “internationally recognized aid organizations;” Israel responds by promising “to use all means at it’s disposal to” prevent Starlink access because Hamas will use it for “terrorist activities” … and because UNICEF, the World Health Organization, Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross, and Red Crescent employees might let slip evidence of the war crimes Israel is committing in Gaza.

19. Baby boomers grew up being shown old films of Nazi brutality in WW2 and we were told that was the personification of evil. What we are seeing in Gaza right now is a replay of that evil. Does anyone remember the stories of the Warsaw Ghetto, besieged by Nazi soldiers and turned into a giant concentration camp for Jews? Hunger and lack of basics killed people. What’s the difference between that and what’s happening in Gaza right now? The USA “condemns” things and then acts those very things out 100%! What Americans need to see right now is the FEAR in the eyes of children in Gaza, among those who will survive and grow up to be a product of this traumatic childhood, courtesy of Israel/USA. When laws favor the tyrants, the state is the sole purveyor of “terrorism” as a tool of control! Tyranny is the fertilizer for “terrorism”.
