Palestine v Israel.

Secret communications between Israel and the Lebanese government

[Brian Peacock]

While the eyes of the world's foreign ministries and media have been preoccupied with Lebanon, to the south the UN-NGO inter-agency
standing committee (IASC) have said they are still unable to carry out anywhere near enough humanitarian work in Gaza, with Palestinians continuing to live "without protection, food, water, sanitation, shelter, health care, education, electricity and fuel - the basic necessities to survive".

Giving what the world gave them for two thousand years. And the guy ultimately responsible for it all sleeps well on his gold bed in the Vatican.

Yeah, because two wrongs make a right, as is well known...

everyone gotta story and atrocity to commit or avenge in the middle east - since ancient times, won't change, british made it worse with their cackhanded redrawing of the map

Reading the Times of Israel, and the Jerusalem Post - as I do, you'd think that killing a leader would lead to an end to this war.

The next leader will be more militant. The followers will be more vicious. People will become radicalised, and sign up for the next round.

Cool! I hope the fuckers blow each other to smithereens in a nuclear holocaust. I'm looking for an alien spacecraft to take me and my cats out of this mess. A cabin on a lake with a garden and curious wildlife neighbours on a planet far away.

Come to our village in Africa. No nukes here.

No answer to the middle east. Not on this side of the demographic collapse anyway. Smaller population in a few generations. Make the place more peaceful.

Israel uses human shields around Modsad HQ in Tel Aviv.

A civilised nation would put something like that on an isolated hilltop rather than surrounding it with people in one of the most densely populated conurbations in the region.

Over 100 rockets fired into Israel last night. The policy of disproportionate retaliation, Netanyahu government's only deterrent, sure doesn't seem to have made ordinary Israelis any safer or secure. His response: Israel will retaliate with disproportionate force and fury.

Who was it who said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

Basically chimps with nukes. Who gave them the nukes? Chimp scientists.

Should have invested in more tunnels rather than missiles on the arab side, thing might not have even kicked off if they'd done that?

Interesting piece about IDF strikes against healthcare services and workers in Lebanon.

At least 50 paramedics have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon over the last two weeks, more than doubling the number of healthcare workers killed since the beginning of fighting between Hezbollah and Israel last year.

Of the paramedics killed over the last two weeks, all have belonged to healthcare services affiliated with either Hezbollah or Amal, another Shia political party – affiliations which rights experts say does not affect their protected status under international law.

One after another, Israeli airstrikes last week began to hit near hospitals in Lebanon’s south. On Tuesday one airstrike landed next to Bint Jbeil hospital and another hit the outskirts of Tibnine public hospital as ambulances were approaching it. An empty building next to Ragheb Harb University hospital near Nabatieh was hit on Wednesday and then again on Thursday...

They do seem to like bombing hospitals.

Imagine if Iran hit an Israeli hospital.
