war

sinkov : It's OK we don't need Donald ,but if things do not turn out well, what about ''Rambo''?

You don't need him to fight your wars Balan, but he kept the Mad Mullahs in check, he even took out Soleimani, and apart from a few rockets fired at an American base, they had to suck it up. It's no co-incidence that it all kicks off within six months of him departing. Poor Joe, he hasn't a fecking clue what to do now, and the Irananians know it.

[kritichris]

and the Irananians know it.

and the Syrians.. The (As)Syrians came down like the wolf on the fold..

BT: You try but ,you still have not grasped the facts.

Al these tragic events stated long ago, I was in S'derot in 2009 and showed photos of Hamas rockets fired there. Now its May 2021,is there and change?? Then also, what can we say about 20k or 30 k rockets Hamas has? Can they threaten Israel,'to make Israel a living hell,' with 50 rockets?
Who controls the West Bank ? Muhamed Abbas? What is he doing to threaten Israel ?Nothing? What has happened is that Hamas operatives have infiltrating the West bank ,to cause active resistance. What would Iran want ? Well it would be to attack Israel from the north, south and west. They must do something as Israel has been attacking Iranian stores, installations for over a year. Israeli jets operating with freedom over Syria! Iranians have been killed. Then what could Iran do? Now you see its reply.

The Palestinians have lived in Sheikh Jarrah since they were re-housed there in the 1950s by Jordan after fleeing or being forced to abandon their homes in West Jerusalem and Haifa during the fighting around Israel's creation in 1948. (with the fighting at that time most fled.)
Remember this Government is a right wing Government, and a Government that support the settlers. These settlers want to claim all of Jerusalem. The settlers who filed the lawsuit over Othman Ibn Affan street said they bought the land from two Jewish associations that purchased it at the end of the 19th century.

A lower Israeli court found in favour of the settlers under an Israeli law that allows Jews to reclaim ownership of property lost in 1948. No such law entitles Palestinians to do the same in West Jerusalem or other parts of Israel.(In this respect an injustice.) Its complicated but this news did not start an excuse for Hamas to fire thousands of rockets into Israel.

[Balanbam00]

Yes, and Tel Aviv is also hit as well as nearby Rishon -le Zion.

Rishon-le-Zion


Tel Aviv
Some cars stop as the siren goes off

It says, ''We received a warning that the building would be hit.'' Yes, even a Arab correspondent said on Al Jazeera they received a warning 1 hour before.''
But this article reads, '' We narrowly avoided a terrible loss of life. A dozen AP journalists and freelancers were inside the building and thankfully we were able to evacuate them in time.''

The truth will never come out of Gaza!

[Balanbam00]

BT :I know your angry at todays result ,but believe me it will pass. Do you know apart from rockets what else these numb skills have 'propaganda'.
Do you think the truth can come out of Gaza? Will these militants allow the truth to be heard? (Take note!)

Violations of Freedom of the Press
Freedom of the press has been on a sharp downward descent since Hamas' violent takeover in 2007. Based on polls conducted in Gaza, the level of free press in Gaza fallen from 52% in September 2007, to 19% in 2010, and to 14% in 2016. However, the lack of transparency in the Gaza Strip, especially with regards to Hamas' internal affairs, makes it nearly impossible to gather accurate statistics on this issue. This report therefore relies on the myriad of testimonies from journalists and residents who have been jailed, tortured and expelled by the Hamas authorities after reporting on the organization's activities.

Hamas employs a number of mechanisms in order to control the messages conveyed by the media in Gaza. Hamas itself operates the main television channels, which broadcast only Hamas approved material, often involving incitement against Israel. In order to deter journalists from critical reporting, Hamas enforces strict censorship on all media. Foreign journalists are able to report on the reality within the Gaza Strip only after they leave. In recent years, Hamas has even attempted to deter journalists from entering Gaza by forcing them to answer invasive questions, raising taxes for the armored cars in which journalists often travel, and limiting their freedom of movement to certain approved locations only. Journalists who have refused to abide by Hamas' restrictions are often subjected to investigation, torture, and imprisonment, and released only on the condition that they will not criticize Hamas. In addition to these active means of suppression, Hamas also endangers the lives of journalists and media infrastructure by launching rockets in their vicinity in order to prevent Israeli retaliation.

When asked by Israeli filmmaker Michael Grynszpan about why reporters from Gaza seldom broadcast Hamas militants in action, a Spanish journalist explained, "we did see Hamas people there launching rockets, they were close to our hotel, but if we dare pointing our camera on them they would simply shoot at us and kill us."

An Italian Journalist, Gabriele Barbati, reported from Italy a day after he had witnessed a rocket launch that hit the Shati refugee camp and killed a number of children. Following the launch, he saw Hamas members clearing debris that could have testified to Hamas' involvement in the death of the children. In his tweet he wrote "Out of Gaza and far from Hamas retaliation," clarifying his reasoning for not reporting on this incident live the day before. So freedom of the Press??

I know your fishing again but you do ask ?
..........with a few hundred proper $hit rockets fired??
Israeli intelligence has estimated that Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other Palestinian militant groups have about 30,000 rockets and mortar projectiles stashed in Gaza.
The arsenal’s medium-range rockets, based on Iranian and Russian design, can reach targets up to 25 miles, making Israeli targets as far as the Tel Aviv suburbs vulnerable.
The longest-range rockets can travel much farther and can hit Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion Airport. They include the M-75, a locally made rocket with technology supplied by Iran,
On Thursday, Hamas claimed in a statement that it has a missile with a range of 250 kilometers, about 155 miles, that can hit anywhere in Israel.

One side are chucking stones and firing homemade rockets, the other side can take down a block of flats with one missile strike.

Life's hardly fair is it Balan?

Is it fair ?

Hamas fires rockets into Israel, Israel fires back. It seems fair enough to me. If you don't want Israel to take down your flats with one missile strike, then don't fire your home made rockets indiscriminately into Israel, the very epitome of fairness surely ?

Do you own a dictionary BT ?

[Balanbam00]

BT: I agree with you BT .
In out present stage of life nothing is fair!
That we are basking in glorious weather is that fair?
Sunshine from morning to evening ,and temps about 28C ,while over there rain and 13 C. That's not fair !
While my village is in complete peace, and some places near a war like zone ,is that fair?
While it has been for the few ,not the many, and in that glorious land of yours ,is that fair? Do something!
Then the 'weeds ' shoved in 4 goals ,is that fair? What about our happy and peaceful Sunday?
While some are born with a silver spoon ,and others with 'Hollands' pies! Is that fair?
Today is Sunday ,I am off to work ,is that fair? What will you be doing?
If we want fairness ,then we should strive to be living in a Proutist society.(and even that can not be 100% )
