An eye for an eye, makes the whole world blind. Iran has just elected a 'moderate' president, whilst I have no sympathy for Hamas and its leadership, it won't help him. |

"Iran must 'punish' Israel, official says
Iran says it is not looking to escalate tensions in the Middle East but believes it needs to "punish" Israel to prevent further instability.
Nasser Kanaani, spokesman for the foreign minister, said Tehran was not seeking a wider conflict in the region, but "punishing Israel is necessary"."
With logic like this, then war it will be.

Hopefully just rhetoric for political reasons. |

Looks like the USA and UK are expecting it, both sending naval vessels to the region. Cypriot bases being reinforced with personnel helicopters apparently to get people out. |

Dear oh dear! Just read reports. There were verbal exchanges. No one mentioned Hamas..... No one rioted. No one was hurt, no libraries were burnt down, no shops were looted, the production went ahead. Are you comparing that to full scale riots Bas? |

No, but the audience was mainly young children, many who were left frightened and crying.
Chesh and Oldie, do you both think this was acceptable?
Your glib responses to basel look as though you are going for him, and ignoring the main story.

They should'nt be doing it.Racists ,Jewish people haters Can't go anywhere without antisemite racists trying to spoil your day. Palestine is over 2000 miles away. "Parents For Palestine " stormed the stage,with that ugly Palestine flag,insisting the audience look and listen to them,instead of the show,a show for children. Children were "crying their eyes out". The show,their treat ruined. This at a Wimbledon theatre.You can imagine what this group are like,dripping with middle class bs,books read eg 'My White Privilege' and 'Why Britons Are Evil'.They parked their unnecessary large 4x4 cars around the corner when Greta turned up to teach them better and they naturally have hatred for working class people.White working class that is. A real class act. |

Thee is a time and place for protest. Targeting children is not the way to do it. |

An SNP MSP member, John Mason ,has been suspended from the party for tweeting/Xing that Israel are not committing genocide because if they were,they would of killed many more Palestinians.
The loss of life is a tragedy,but it's a harsh truth,if Israel wanted to,they could of killed thousands more Palestinians.

The Israelis may have killed over 25,000 men, women and children and you are celebrating that they did not kill more? Is our sensitivity so reduced that we have read this kind of thing? My god |

My god 40,000 now ** ** According to Palestinian health authority in Gaza, tempered by the fact the authority is run by Hamas. However figures are difficult to verify due to restrictions imposed by the IDF on who can go into Gaza. Most agencies agree that the figure could be lower but could also be much higher. news.un.org/en/story/2024/08/115321615 August 2024 Peace and Security
As the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza passes the dark milestone of 40,000, UN rights chief Volker Türk called on Thursday for an end to the killing “once and for all” and the release of all hostages while negotiators prepared to meet in Qatar to renew efforts to halt the conflict and avert a wider war.
“Most of the dead are women and children. This unimaginable situation is overwhelmingly due to recurring failures by the Israeli Defense Forces to comply with the rules of war,” the High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a statement.
“On average, about 130 people have been killed every day in Gaza over the past 10 months,” Mr. Türk continued, citing estimates based on data from the enclave’s health authorities, before describing the “scale of the Israeli military’s destruction of homes, hospitals, schools and places of worship [as] deeply shocking.”
He noted that his Office had documented serious violations of international humanitarian law by the Israeli military and Palestinian armed groups, including Hamas fighters responsible for the 7 October terror attacks on multiple locations in southern Israel that left some 1,200 dead and more than 250 taken hostage.Nobody comes out of this well. |

As I have written long ago on this very thread, if they had released the hostages then it all would have stopped. Hamas have had it in their own hands to stop it all.

Indeed they did, and to not have struck Israel at all with that heinous crime. Israel is now proving that you should never poke a sleeping bear. But listening to commentators around the world, Israel has changed. Netanyahu is desperate to stay in power at any costs, ignoring the advice of his senior military advisors that they cannot achieve his aim of wiping out Hamas completely. And he is captive to the far right religious parties who want to see the complete annihilation of Palestine. This will not end well. |

The only possible future good that might come from all this, is the utter brutality that`s been shown by both sides. The Israelis come to realise that unless they reach some sort of accord with the Palestinians, then they`re always going to be vulnerable to an October 7th type attack. And the Palestinians come to realise that unless they reach some sort of accord with the Israelis, then they`re always liable to be smashed into the ground in response. |
