A bit of paraphrasing and plagiarism from me, but this reckless act of aggression is a blatant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and a grave breach of international law. The bombing irresponsibly endangered civilian lives, the IDF air strikes at the very heart of a sovereign Arab capital, threatens to inflame an already highly combustible region. It remains to be seen if the flames will also engulf Tel Aviv.

Bombing Doha and targeting Qatar, which is a neutral nation, is central and a crucial component in mediation efforts and allows dialogue in the Middle East; the attack demonstrates Israel’s utter contempt for international law, peace and diplomacy. This assault is criminal, sanctionable, indefensible and intolerable. Israel cannot and must not be allowed to bomb whichever sovereign state that takes its fancy with impunity.

The Israelis are conducting a campaign of ethic cleansing and genocide, their latest excursion has totally condemned to the dustbin any hopes of a ceasefire. Netanyahu has demonstrated time and again his bloodlust. Bombing Doha just confirms it.
