Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War
People on all sides are getting killed because of the actions of groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and extreme Zionist groups. But on the Israel side there are means to bring those in charge or responsible to account, or there should be.
IDF members who behave "illegally" will be brought to account and charged (or they would be unless the current regime also behave "illegally"). Israeli politicians are elected and can be unselected should the populace deem it necessary. What checks are there on those opposing Israel? Palestinians elected Hamas, they could see what Hamas were doing, why not vote for a different party? (OK yes it is hard when they have guns and you don't but showing willing to assist then with the IDF in getting rid of them could save many lives.) Still it is easy to comment from our safe houses where we don't face missiles coming in daily or people with guns threatening you and your family if you don't help or a military response from people angry that their friends and family have been attacked. Neither side is well served by the international community. Views are often too unilateral and not interested enough in a fair and supported peace, I guess because what is "fair" is very hard to define for all sides but also too many vested interests to one side or the other. |

Don’t know who the “extreme Zionist groups” are? Look we need to cut the BS about how any of this is to do with a Palestinian state. This is about Iran’s Islamic cult of twelver Shi’ism, need to erase Israel, and their vow to do so, in order to facilitate the return of their messiah Mahdi by 2040. You can’t reason with fanatical religious fundamentalists, so don’t try. Until there is regime change in Iran this continues, hopefully Trump can hurt them financially going forward, and they haven’t got Russia to help them, as Assad has found out. |

However, if you then start to draw a trajectory of the ruins of the once mainly secular state towards an extreme Islamist one then this opens up a whole new narrative. Of course, the current actions of Israel in bombing the daylights out of the newly liberated Syria will provide a lot of propaganda for the nascent Islamist state actors. |

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War
Israel needs to step carefully here. They took the Golan because their enemies were using it as a high ground to shell Israel. Taking them for protection and some settlement on them would likely be OK but to settle further at a time when they need to keep allies for their attacks on terror groups must really be justified.

Israel have stated that due to the Syrian regime collapse that the agreement in place is now null and void. And wouldn’t you know it off they go. I’d really like to see anyone try to justify this. Israel appear to believe they can act with impunity because they know the US and other nations will back them up due to their sense of guilt. And if you don’t agree with their agenda then you’re anti Israeli They’re acting like a political shithouse |

My opinion is that the fact fellow Muslims are still in the area of Israel, Gaza and the West Bank is holding off any serious war in the region.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War
They all follow the Qur'an, and although Sunnis and Shi'ites differ in some verses, they both believe Israel to be a disbeliever in Holy beliefs. Having said that Saudi Arabia, the owner of Islam, won't wage a war with Israel. But what is interesting is the Qur'an says the hypocrites don't fight in the name of Islam. So what is Saudi Arabias stance on Israel?

It would be good for this to be over whoever takes credit. The deal largely seems to be one the Americans came up with months ago but I don't think it would happen without the deadline of Trump becoming President in a few days and him making it clear that he'll expect a deal to be done and who knows under what terms.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War
Seems to be a major mistake by Israel here.
Releasing terrorists to replace those killed. Already videos showing Hamas soldiers commandeering aid trucks. Israel should play along, get all the Hostages back………then go straight back into Gaza and continue to eliminate Hamas. |

The Philadelphi Corridor is the Israeli code name for a narrow strip of land, some 100 metres wide and 14 km (8.7 miles) long, situated along the entirety of the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. The Netzarim Corridor is an area in the Gaza Strip that served as an Israeli zone of military occupation from 2023 to 2025 during the Gaza war. The corridor, which split the Gaza Strip down the middle, was located just south of Gaza City and stretched from the Gaza–Israel border to the Mediterranean Sea. It was named for the site of the former Israeli settlement that it includes. |

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War
All going well for the new Syrian regime I see. Just as well the Russians are there to give the minorities under attack somewhere safe to flee to.
Reports vary from hundreds up to a reported 7,000 minorities, including Christians, reported to be in Hmeimim air base. The “former al-Qaeda now moderate” rebel forces are calling for the Russians to hand over the refugees. The efforts to remove Russian forces being induced may well have prevented a genocide here although the definition is much more fluid than it used to be. |

My first entry to this topic - as in where I stand, it is Hamas that is killing the Gazan people by means of Israeli weapons. All that Hamas needs to do is release all remaining hostages.
Btw, the pro-Hamas/Palestinian rallies in London should remind us of the elephant in our room. |
