It's like they're inviting Armageddon, precipitating it. Remember these guys? The neutralizing of the World Kitchen "unit" will discourage Aid Agencies from bringing in food and supplies which will further pressure the Gazans to empty the north of the strip. Aligns with the Gaza delenda est...

So there has been precious little coverage of the report that Israel had to file as ordered at the ICJ hearing on the 26th of January. It was submitted although its contents were not revealed. 'JERUSALEM, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Israel on Monday filed a report with the International Court of...

Well, I don't know what to do about Nigeria. I do know that there are massacres regularly occurring in the North East but that's not where most of the migrants come from. I think it's any old reason for most of them. When it comes to the Middle East, I think that we should support a...

The question is whether a two state solution will come into effect. There will have to be one agreed to stop this conflict. Gaza has been razed and will need to be rebuilt. As I recall, Blinken said the money was available from the Gulf States but there had to be security before any was spent...

Earlier on CNN today, Ehud Barak (former Israeli PM) was shown in a clip from yesterday saying that they need a new election at a latest by June. That's four months away. The Axios guy (in the video clip on the above webpage) in response to the ICJ decision said that two of the members of the...

It's an actionable decision. I was watching CNN and they interviewed a senior Israeli official. He made noises like they were going to ignore it but looked shook. If the Israelis don't do anything, and haven't actions to present to the court in a month, then pressure in many countries will...

The ICJ just ruled that the allegations of some of the charges of genocide fall within the jurisdiction of the court and that any signatory of the genocide convention has standing in bringing forward a complaint. The court has issued an instruction to introduce an effective ceasefire under...

It was to be expected that there would be airstrikes on the missile faculties in Yemen. No big surprise there. The Red Sea is a critical sea lane and there was always going to be a reaction - it's surprising that it didn't happen earlier. Reports yesterday that Iran seized an oil tanker in...

They know that Netanyahu is trying to escalate the conflict into a regional affair. That's his trajectory. It suggests that he needs this to happen because he's had a look at his cards and needs to upend the table. So, they'll hold off for a while. That's what staying their hand. There is...

It's not getting any better over there.

The above news report shows the proliferation of the war into the region. Your powers of analysis of other people's motives is weak. I didn't copy and paste in the vaccine thread other than opening segments of the news story which led into the explanation of the mechanism behind it. The...

'Israel has warned they are in a war on seven fronts as attacks recorded in a handful of neighbouring countries in the last 48 hours spark fears of the conflict escalating to the wider region. In an address to the Israeli government on Tuesday, Yoav Gallant, the country’s defence minister and...

Above video is from 2002. Plus ça change.

'Israel’s Broadcasting Authority on Saturday reported that the Netanyahu government is planning to switch to a new phase of the war, but gave a vague timeline which indicated this change will only happen in the coming weeks, if at all. Infantry troops will be withdrawn, and Israeli forces will...

'Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” famously features an eccentric character called the Hatter, who’s referred to in the story as “mad” and became popularly known as the Mad Hatter. However, the phrase “mad as a hatter,” used to describe someone who’s crazy or prone to...

I'd say what happened was that the IDF are shooting all male civilians in Gaza and Hamas saw this so they released three hostages with a white flag and no shirts on (to show they weren't wearing suicide vests) towards one of the IDF squads. The soldiers then promptly shot them. It was...

Here's an interview in the WSJ with Richard Haass (of CFR fame). This represents elite opinion in the U.S. and is probably published to form a consensus around it. You won't be able to read the full article in the link but it can be found on the Drudge Report under the link: World in Disarray...

'"Israel’s military has begun to pump seawater into Hamas’s vast complex of tunnels in Gaza, according to U.S. officials briefed on the Israeli military’s operations, part of an intensive effort to destroy the underground infrastructure that has underpinned the group’s operations," The Wall...

Looks like Sisi just got re-elected in Egypt. There's an article in Axios about the Egyptian government's concern that the Gazans are being stampeded into the Sinai. 'Egypt warned the U.S. and Israel that if Palestinian refugees flee into the Sinai as a result of the Israeli military operation...
