An iconic image!!

I think the idea would be to quash Gazans, once and for all before it becomes a regional war and do so as soon as possible and call it a fait accompli, just like much of the Settlements in West Bank are. More and more people are now saying that the delay to invade Gaza is to gather the Western...

Wow! Even The Onion!!

I don't think the Saudi ruling class wants to see their 'Assets' frozen in NYC or their Chatteaus to be boarded up in France and their Yachts to be blackballed in French Riviera. Those, who have less to lose, like Yemen, Syria and Lebanon are the ones likely to contribute the most for Palestinians.

Unlike a pretty much flat and small terrain of Gaza, look at south Lebanon and Syria around the Golan Heights-- a large area with plenty of spaces to dig in in scattered way, deep in the hills when possible, and, as you say, 'hit and run' with cheap rockets. I don't think anything, short of...

Israel and its backers cannot win a multifront war!!! That much I am sure about. Yes, that would burn the region and bring down the global economic--that would be the REAL SAMSON OPTION--but, as the Turkish FM just said, would bring a 'greater peace'.

Yemen means it. Many thousands warriors loaded with cheap rockets allowed passage to Jordan or Syria would make a big difference-- 3rd front. All that if this becomes a regional war.

OMG!!

Israelis know they are racing against time--the demographic changes in America and the world--are against Israel. So, for Israel, rapid Settlements Enterprise to achieve a 'fait accompli'.

You don't seem that naive? The only 'friend' Israel needs are its agents in American media, the Congress, and the Military Industrial Complex. If and when Israel loses them then not only the American policy will change but also the Europeans jumping up and down for Israel on this forum will...

By now, it seems obvious the Gazans didn't coordinate with Hezbollah/Iran and also the 'success' the Gazans achieved on October 7, were beyond their wildest imagination. Once Gazans are finished as a force to deal with--it is over for Palestinians for the foreseeable future.

The richer, the more stable a country is, the less likely they are to get involved in foreign wars, with the possible exception of Iran. It is not a coincidence that the two Arab countries more willing to join the ongoing conflict are Syria and Lebanon--because both are in dire situations...

Correct. As are Hezbollah.

Very interesting. And I tend to think if this becomes a regional war then Erdogan is likely to take concrete steps. I even saw on Turkish Daily News today Turkey is willing to militarily put itself as a 'guarantor' for Palestinians, which I think if a Two State Solution is created then Turkish...

The comments to the Macgregor tweet are a gold!!! Awakening happening in America too!

Gaza has now become a very strategic region, however small and resource-lacking it is! Why? Because Gaza's north is close enough to Israeli's population centers to cause major disruptions in Israeli daily lives and economy by even occasionally firing cheap rockets AND give Israel a nightmare of...

Wow! I don't know much about serbs--other than staff on cruise ships--only communicated with a Serbian PhD student a few times about serious matters. Once, during one of the usual Israel bombardment of Gaza, we briefly discussed the Middle East. He leaned toward me and whispered 'We have to be...

Well said!!!! Once people truly understand your post then they would understand why there have been so many conflicts in that region and why, IMO, violence is the only way which will lead to a solution.

It may surprise you that even in the Urdu language channels in Pakistan, there is a subtle disapproval of Hamas killing civilians on October 7, as also you can see in this forum. But, yes, Gazans are doing resistance and that's recognized by a person of no less stature than the UN Sec. General...

Notice how casually this @Foinikas brought up the white race into his argument, assuming everyone who opposes the American/Israel policy hates 'the West', hates 'the Christians', 'hates the whites'. This is the guy's pattern and he tries to hide behind big neutral words but his bias is for the...
