Palestinian civilian casualties now standing at 20,000 +. Says who? Old mother Demdyke? or Gaza's famous 'Tiddlywinks Club?'

It is now clear and obvious (no need for VAR to adjudicate this one) the Israeli strategy is to murder, punish, humiliate, and terrorise the civilian population of Gaza. How much longer can the US maintain its support for such a thoroughly evil and inhumane strategy? How much longer will Biden keep on stockpiling an arsenal used purely for ethnic cleansing?

The Israeli ambassador to the UK says "No chance whatsoever" of a Two State Solution. I expect the slaughter of the innocents will continue un abated.

It took just two months for the Israeli government to kill more than 17,000 Palestinians in Gaza — a death toll that’s been recognized as accurate by leading humanitarian groups, the US State Department, a senior Biden administration official, the esteemed Lancet medical journal, and even the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

That’s an important statistic, because it’s maybe the leading indicator — but by no means the only one — that what we are seeing play out in Gaza daily is not “just another terrible war” but something altogether different.

Consider the verdict of those who have spent their lives and careers in the world’s worst war zones. Martin Griffiths — a long-serving United Nations humanitarian official who started his career in genocide-ravaged Cambodia and served everywhere from Yemen to post-earthquake Syria — has called Gaza the “worst ever” humanitarian crisis he’s seen. Other UN officials have called Gaza “a living nightmare” and “absolutely unprecedented and staggering,” and have described the conditions on the ground as “apocalyptic.”

“I feel like I am running out of ways to describe the horrors hitting children here,” said UNICEF spokesperson James Elder. European Union foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has similarly called the situation in Gaza “catastrophic, apocalyptic,” with the scale of destruction “even greater than the destruction suffered by the German cities during the Second World War.”


These statements are borne out by the numbers, which clearly show that Israel’s military campaign has been exceptional in its indiscriminate brutality. True to Borrell’s words, a Financial Times analysis found that after only six weeks, northern Gaza had been reduced to rubble on a scale comparable only to the carpet-bombing of German cities in World War II. With 68 percent of buildings damaged or destroyed in northern Gaza by the start of this month, the flattening of that area is worse than the notorious bombings of Dresden and Cologne, and approaching the 75 percent destruction rate of Hamburg.

Furthermore, roughly 70 percent of Palestinians killed so far have been women and children. This is a staggering proportion that sets Gaza apart from some of this century’s worst wars.

It is now clear and obvious (no need for VAR to adjudicate this one) the Israeli strategy is to murder, punish, humiliate, and terrorise the civilian population of Gaza. Not only Gaza Lebanon ,the West Bank the lot of them!!

Not true but also ? How much would your fuel cost rise if Israel did not exist? Who would control those straits of the 'Bab el Mandeb strait' The strait is 30 kilo-meters (km) wide. What would happen if the Bab-el-Mandeb strait closed? That's your sea highway to home from the East!
The closure of this route snaps a critical trade link between Europe and India and all of Asia. The ships going to Europe will now move via a much longer route around the Cape of Good Hope, the bottom tip of Africa. This change increases voyage distances by 40 per cent and raises transportation time and cost. ''You are blessed with the Holy Land being here'' '' Am Israel Hi '' ''The people of Israel 'live' !''

The Houthis have said Russian ships will not be targeted and can keep using this route.

[Balanbam00]

Yes they dare not hit Russian ships, and if the sunk one of ours?? I think they would be very sorry?

I don't think they give a f*** Balan. If they can sink an Israeli ship with a peashooter I would be totally amazed.

Nah! this lot are truly vegetarians, they would not just throw food away. Its the Middle east ,they use ''Davids sling!!'' Peas are now scarce in their markets! The alternative 'felafel?' its too soft! But some would not use that ,why throw food away?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I cannot believe you take cold-blooded murder with such flippancy Balan.
