Those were just to keep the air defences busy. They've launched the ballistic missiles now.

Reports Iran has launched a load of kamikaze drones at Israel.

This is a terrifying and chilling read, but explains how and why Israel have killed tens of thousands of innocent people as part of their so-called "precision targeting"... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai-database-hamas-airstrikes

Come on chaps - this is supposed to be a decent and civil thread on a serious subject. You don't have to have the last word, get the final dig in. Just resist, don't reply and (virtually) walk away.

Well, the man who will have the best intelligence in the world, and the leader of Israel's greatest ally, described it as "indiscriminate bombing". Joe Biden: "But they're starting to lose that support by indiscriminate bombing that takes place," https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-67699255

Agreed. I haven't posted on this thread for many weeks because I got fed up of the personal attacks, conducted... - via PM direct to me - via people registering numerous new NSC accounts, day after day, with abusive usernames - via the Argus comments section - via creating rogue accounts on...

Yes, yes I can.

...and I'll add "See if I can stop selected users from being able to use emojis" to my to-do list.

I've not really paid attention to use of emojis, but if I see people using laughing emojis in a way I determine is mocking or similar, then I will act as per my earlier warning. Again: no apologies/reasons/appeals will be listened to. Act in good faith if you wish to retain access to this...

I was about to ban at least one person from this thread, but I'll issue a final warning. There won't be any more. Next time people will be banned, permanently, from this thread. I don't care what "side" you are on, please debate the subject. If you attack other posters directly then you will be...

I would hope it was quite obvious that I have severe concerns about Israel's current strategy for two broad reasons... - They are killing untold thousands of innocent people. - When Iarael's campaign is over, there'll be people remaining who have seen utter devastation in Gaza, and that is sure...

I don't think they do, well most of them anyway, and I've thought about this a lot over the last week as the attacks from a previous NSCer went on and on. I think most people will agree on all of this... - The Israel population deserve to live in peace, free of the threat of rampaging...

From the BBC: The IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari has confirmed that Israeli fighter jets carried out the attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, which he said killed a senior commander and caused the collapse of Hamas's underground infrastructure.

That's a very decent summary of my position too. Over the last three weeks or so, I've learned that I was previously woefully uninformed on the whole situation. I certainly won't pretend to be highly knowledgable now, but I know more than I did. And, like you, I've been left stunned at the way...

5Live just reported that Hamas have said that 50 hostages have been killed in air strikes. 😢

I'm not sure it addresses any points on this thread at all. But you don't visit this thread to engage in good faith debate. It's never been your style, and it's never likely to be.

Closing this for a while because the last few pages have been very poor, with little to no discussion about events unfolding, and just people largely trying to engage in cheap point-scoring.

As a point of order, can people please stop drawing comparisons between Israel's actions and the Nazis. Regardless of intent, given the horrendous atrocities inflicted on Jewish people by the Nazis, you should find it possible to contribute to this conversation without needing to use that...

And Israel too?

Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with over 36,000 people per square mile. By comparison, New York has 29,000, London 14,500 and Brighton 8,600. The population in Gaza is essentially trapped, and unable to go anywhere else. With such a densely populated area, it...
