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. XD 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.

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!

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 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. :blue:

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. XD

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.
