I do generally agree though that this sort of action should be avoided but I won’t be shedding any tears for those involved in terror attacks.

I've been saying for ages now that it is Labour's victory to lose given all the sleaze, lies and shenanigans from the current mob. The trouble for me is that once Labour is in power will they do any better? It is so easy to shout and berate from the sidelines and a completely different job once in Office. honestly, I don’t think it even matters who is in power. People seem to get bored after a few years these days causing them to switch who they vote for.. political parties seem hell bent on self sabotage and seem to implode much to the bemusement of their nearest rivals.. I know that’s a fairly cynical outlook… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cant see Iran doing that when it’s highly likely that iron dome intercepts them as they’d have to travel a long way More likely that they get their proxies in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen to launch more rockets than they have already been doing. There was a fair number launched into n Israel end last week that killed an Israeli Arab and I saw video of eilat struck by 2 Houthi rockets at the weekend. they will likely get more stuff through fired from closer than Iran itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His favorite episode was when all the mums were at the fire station and there’s a fire and mummy pigs picks up the phone and shouts “ fire! Fire! Fire!” Down the phone line. Later that year we took them all away and stayed in a hotel. We open the room door and it never occurred to me, but he had never actually seen a landline before.. so he runs straight to this phone, picks it up and shouts “ ahhh fire! Fire! Fire! “ down the phone . I Tell, you I’ve never moved so fast as to get that phone off him. Had to go down to reception to reassure them there was indeed no fire. I swear he’s the reason I’m going gray! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parafox Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April Just a "what if" but, what if the attack on the aid vehicles and workers in Gaza was a deliberate act designed to deter organisations and personnel from distributing aid? Netanyahu didn't apologise, just describing it as a mistake that happens in war. That infers that there's an inherent risk that this will happen again. It seems very suspicious that the 3 vehicles were directly hit and AFAIK were the only vehicles travelling in the vicinity, clearly marked as aid. If it was a "mistake" what were the IAF trying to target? There's no evidence that I have seen that there were any other possible targets. They MUST have known. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some of the most sophisticated intelligence networks and weapons in the world. This, like all of the other war crimes, are deliberate and they know that no one has the balls to do anything about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April i mean, not even Israel can find a way to excuse this: World Central Kitchen founder Jose Andres has accused Israeli forces in Gaza of targeting the aid workers in a strike that killed seven members of his staff on Monday, "systematically, car by car". Speaking to Reuters news agency, Andres says that the killing of seven WCK personnel was not a mistake or a misfire, and asserts that the Israelis knew their movements at the time of the attack. "Even if we were not in coordination with the (Israeli army), no democratic country and no military can be targeting civilians and humanitarians," he says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 3 April Share Posted 3 April From what i understand, they were in one car that was attacked, transferred the injured to a second car that was then also attacked and ended up in a third vehicle which was then attacked... this wasnt in any way a rogue action or isolated action... it was systematic targeting.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been using indiscriminate targeting forever. Snipers shooting anyone who moves including children. Bombing of residential areas, convoys of refugees trying to flee, mosques, hospitals.

fox_favourite Posted 4 April Share Posted 4 April (edited) What a horrible dark world we live in now. In my life time, I've never known such chaos around the world. Everyone wants to start fights. It's crazy. Just feels all out of control and no one is trying to de-escalate any of the situations. Edited 4 April by fox_favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it feels horrible and dark at the moment, but it’s probably just what the world has been like for most of history. It’s just that the period since the Second World War has bern unusually peaceful by historic standards, and that has lulled our generation into thinking that’s the norm. What we’re experiencing now may be a slight reversion to the mean, albeit probably still nowhere near as bad as it has been for much of the past.

Sly Posted 4 April Share Posted 4 April War is horrific and brutal. My first thought was they’re cutting off the supply lines, basically putting them under siege. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
