An interesting 'advert' just came up on my You Tube thread. Unlike anything I have seen before.

Curious as to if anybody else starts seeing it.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

Hamas have made a massive mistake.

You attack a country which is one of the most military advanced in the world, which has a history of aggressive retaliation when attacked, doesn't care what the world thinks, and you are only going to come a serious cropper.

Poke a hornets' nest with a stick, and you are going to get stung.

Maybe Hamas saw Israel was politically vulnerable, had their eye off the ball, and decided it was their chance to get payback for the war in 1973.

Whatever the reason, it will only end up hurting Hamas and the Palestinian people much, much more.

“The unfolding events in Israel and Palestine are deeply alarming. We need an immediate ceasefire and urgent de-escalation. And we need a route out of this tragic cycle of violence: ending the occupation is the only means of achieving a just and lasting peace.”

Jeremy Corbyn today.

your description reminds me of the Warsaw Ghetto. Is it not Ironic that much of the suffering of one people then gets echoed 90 years later. Onto a different people.

And that the former victims are now able to fly helicopter gunships over poor suburbs and genocide the place.

Many kids who grow up in an abusive environment, do themselves go on to be abusers.

Israel's problem is that they are dealing with a radicalised population. You can have all the technological superiority you like but a lot of winning wars and conflicts comes down to how many men are willing to die....There are always plenty willing to do whatever they can to survive, but you win by taking the ground.

Israel had that in their existential wars of the past but I suspect that their present generation is much softer and liberalised than those people.

If they want to clear out those areas they is going to be a heavy cost.....How heavy will depend upon how much anti armour weapons Hamas have.

I just hope that civilians have somewhere to go to escape this carnage.

Hamas is a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act yet Corbyn refuses to condemn the attack.

Egypt supports the blockade of Gaza which is why there is no land supply.

Tragically there are two sides which put retribution and revenge above peace.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
