From what I heard on the wireless (5Live) from a defensive expert, it seems Iran had given prior detailed warning on what was going to happen. The operation to bring down the weapons was vast, complex and needed a lot of organisation and planning to reach a success rate of 99%. It’s probable...

I agree that this will play exceptionally well to the Iranian public and elements of the Muslim community further afield as well as in Russia. But how likely is it that Israel won’t respond? Things could get out of hand very quickly now. “This could still get a whole lot worse. Israel has vowed...

This is the response we should be getting from Sunak after a Brit was killed in the same tradegy: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed that aid worker Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom was among those killed and has offered his condolences to family and friends. In a statement, he...

👆🏻 This. Added to the offence is the lack of similarities in the comparison. It’s just not a reasonable connection to draw. A valid comparison during that era would be the indiscriminate killing of 25,000 innocent people through bombing by Britain/USA in WW2...

Again. That’s not true. “In a single day, more than 1,000 Israeli civilians and more than 350 Israeli soldiers and police were killed in nearby towns.” Wiki Many of the attacks on 7th October were on military bases. Please try and check your facts before posting again. It makes for a better...

Let’s hope they have enough influence. Those poor, poor hostages held captive in those tunnels. I can’t begin to imagine the horror they are going through. As soon as the IDF start on those tunnels, their fate is in the balance.

I agree that the hostages will be the first casualties when this happens but Hamas have seriously underestimated the Israeli government and IDF. I think the Israeli government will pay the price of the hostage’s lives, hundreds or thousands of Israeli armed forces lives and 50k+ Palestinian...

I saw another interview with the Israeli commander or general on Newsnight. Oddly, he had a Scottish accent. He absolutely refuted that there was a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. All innocent lives lost were the fault of Hamas, they take no responsibility. It was extraordinary. It did remind me...

Your first is dubious. Your second statement is correct. There is a statement from Israel that they killed many Hamas fighters in the hospital hit. This statement was then deleted. I’m certainly not ruling out that the hospital was deliberately hit by the IDF.

Jeremy Bowen on the BBC has suggested that it would be surprising if Hamas/Islamic Jihad had a missile powerful enough to cause the destruction seen.

He’ll be ignored.

Our awful Government and opposition effectively ‘licensed’ this with their unconditional support for Israel.

Have you seen what he has said about this current crisis. I genuinely think that dementia has set in to your man. Like you, he is meant to be a right wing populist but has called the militants ‘smart’ whilst criticising the Israel far right leadership.

They are the only Country or organisation Israel will listen to. Biden is incredibly popular in Israel. He is the only man able to convince them to stop murdering innocent people.

A very moving plea from a grieving Israeli mother on Newsnight tonight. She had just found out she lost her 20 year old boy at the music festival. She begs for an end to ALL the killing. She begs for no war, no vengeance in her name. She was visibly in pain but had the courage to see that the...

This was a bit more than luck. In terms of horrific atrocities, 9/11 saw a dozen terrorists or so take over 4 flights. There was a lot of luck needed to pull that off. But over 1,500 militants crossing the border unnoticed? Sorry, that’s profound incompetence from Israeli intelligence. I think...

The Hamas atrocities must have taken years of planning. I’d be shocked if they’d not planned the aftermath too. This means that they are not going be hiding in the places the IDF think they are with the exception of the underground tunnels which can surely only be accessed with a ground invasion.

There is a ‘right to defend’ itself and there is breaking international law. Labour has come out against Israel breaking international law this morning. You should do the same. I can’t see many (if any) posters on this forum against the annihilation of Hamas, it’s fighters and it’s leadership...

Indeed. This is the closest he got. "However, it's hugely important that is done within international law," Lammy says. He needs to be condemning the slaughter of hundreds of innocent children in Gaza.
