The Donald, bringing peace to the Middle East, as promised.

"Iran has ordered its proxy forces across the Middle East to exercise caution as the Islamic Republic fears an existential threat following Donald Trump’s return to the White House, Officials have told commanders of Iran-backed militias to avoid provocative actions that could escalate regional tensions. Commanders have also been instructed to maintain defensive positions while avoiding any actions that could be interpreted as aggressive by US forces or regional allies."

God knows how many thousands have been killed in Gaza, the place, as you have already mentioned, is virtually destroyed, the hospitals, so we're told, have ceased to function, schools and mosques have been flattened, there is no food, people are starving.

If this is what victory looks like, God help them should they ever lose.

Thank God the Hamas lads bombed themselves eh mon ami. The Lord only knows how bad shape Gaza would be in now if the IDF had started dropping 20,000lbs bombs on it in a policy of disproportionate retaliation.

Somehow I cannot imagine Turkiye will allow Trump a free hand in the region.

Erdogan and Turkey will, like all the rest, do what the Donald suggests they should do. Just like Colombia, didn't take them long to change their mind about accepting their illegals did it ?

One of the most significant factors contributing to Turkey's potential threat to Israel is its close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood (M, a Sunni Islamist movement founded in Egypt in 1928. The Muslim Brotherhood advocates for the establishment of an Islamic caliphate, based on the interpretation of Islamic law, and has historically been hostile to Israel’s existence.

The Brotherhood’s ideology is fundamentally opposed to the Jewish state, viewing Israel as an occupier of Muslim lands, and has historically called for its destruction. While Iran’s threat to Israel is largely military and focused on the nuclear issue, Turkey’s connection with the Muslim Brotherhood represents a deeper, ideological challenge. This is particularly concerning as Turkey uses its political and military clout to spread MB-affiliated ideologies throughout the Arab world, which could destabilize the region further and create more hostile environments for Israel.

I read this morning Turkey have started building their own jet fighters and have told Trump to stick is F-Type fighters up his arse. The Turks have the 6th largest standing army on the globe, I don't think it will be a good idea to mess with these bad boys.

( On 31 July 2024, Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, was assassinated along with his personal bodyguard in the Iranian capital Tehran by an Israeli attack. )

Nothing new there then is there? I wonder who killed Doctor Kelly? Let those who are without fault cast the first stone. There would never be a stone thrown because you can go back through religion, politics, Empire building etc., etc. Lessons are NEVER learnt!

And that's the real tragedy mein freund, we never learn. A female survivor of the death camps was saying pretty much the same and she brought tears to my eyes.

Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip are returning home after a cease-fire deal between Hamas and Israel went into effect Sunday, halting 15 months of war that local health officials say killed over 46,000 people. But for many, there are no homes to return to.
How many rockets has Palestine fired at Israel?
Attacks began in 2001. Since then, almost 20,000 rockets have hit southern Israel, all but a few thousand of them since Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in August 2005. Palestinian militants say rocket attacks are a response to Israel's blockade of Gaza, but the Palestinian Authority has condemned them and says rocket attacks undermine peace.

The attacks, widely condemned for targeting civilians, have been described as terrorism by the United Nations, the European Union, and Israeli officials, and are defined as war crimes by human rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The international community considers indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets to be illegal under international law.

The Brotherhood?s ideology is fundamentally opposed to the Jewish state, viewing Israel as an occupier of Muslim lands, and has historically called for its destruction.

The MB is opposed to the Egyptian state as well, which classifies it as a terrorist organisation and has many of it's members locked up. While they are the usual anti-semites they are no threat to Israel, they are fully occupied fighting for survival in Egypt and they've just seen their jihadi mates decimated in Gaza, I don't think they'll be looking to share the same fate any time soon.

I’m watching a week-old President rewriting embedded US laws, ignoring the US Constitution and demonstrating an authoritarian fanaticism that is bordering on the schizophrenic. On top of that he has invited the genocidal maniac Netanyahu to the White House to be his first foreign visitor to Casa Blanca. A despicable man.

Funny how the perpetrators are always the victims. "The international community considers indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets to be illegal under international law." You are having a laugh Balan.

Have you forgotten already mon ami, it was Hamas who were the perpetrators of this little contretemps.

As it says in Galatians 6:7, "Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

Or Hosea 8.7, " “For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.”

It's all in there for the terrorist scum, perhaps a bit of Bible study, instead of raping young girls and burning babies, might not go amiss.
