Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

It's war, and a proctored one at that. We have forgotten real war. When Zhukov's tanks came to town, people got out of the way the best they could. Don't recall? Wait a while. You will find out when the rivers of blood flow.

This must be the most one-sided "war" in the history of war. 2.1 million people trapped into an enclave from which there is no escape. Ducks in a barrel is more like the situation, it certainly is not a war."

Big mistake by Hamas wasn't it, or is this what they wanted ?

I think it was exactly what Netanyahu wanted mon ami. The current IDF military style operations in Gaza and more recently in the West Bank are incontrovertibly testing the legal boundaries of what Israel will be allowed to pursue and maintain and get away with.

Seeing that the Biden administration seems hell bent on allowing the Israeli performative ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, I really don’t give two hoots about the intentions of Hamas or Hezbollah. Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire nor do Hamas and the Palestinians remain trapped between a rock and a hard place.

Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire, the IDF are tightening the net on the terrorist scum, if they weren't using the humanitarian aid lorries for food and ammo they'd be defeated already. It's only a matter of time now, the IDF have their foot on the scum's neck and, quite naturally, Netanyahu doesn't want them to take it off.

Interesting to learn that last October the Israelis estimated that Hamas had built around 250 kilometres of tunnels. They reckon now the true extent of them is somewhere between 500 and 600 kilometres.

Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Murdered by terrorist scum.

The 23-year-old Israeli American became one of the most recognizable faces of the enduring hostage crisis, after he was taken at gunpoint by Hamas militants from the Nova music festival. Banners and murals demanding his return were often displayed in Jerusalem and around the world.

When Hamas gunmen poured into southern Israel on October 7, Goldberg-Polin and his friends were forced to hide inside a small bomb shelter. As the militants began to lob grenades into the bunker, Goldberg-Polin rushed to throw them out, before his arm was blown off from the elbow down, according to a firsthand account from his friend.
