Absolutely correct. And it is not without coincidence that countries, which are more distant, like Pakistan, Iran and Turkey have considerable military power while even a potentially powerful country like Egypt is a lame-duck vassal of the West. Brazil!! I don't know what kind of ideological...

I had seen this video on You Tube. It is from Sinn Fein--the political arm of the Irish Republican Army. They were called 'Apes' and the 'terrorists' by the English within our lifetime. Anyone old enough to remember movies like 'The Crying Game' and the violence in Northern Ireland which only...

Because Jerusalem is a unique place for a large part of humanity. Even with cursory knowledge of human history, you'd know that. And Gaza is an inalienable part of the history surrounding Jerusalem. PS. The conflicts in the Middle East WILL resolve once distant powers don't have their attack...

Israeli survival is EXTREMELY tied with its Lobby in America. The moment some American President decides to act for the American interests and allow a UNSC Resolution to pass through, which would declare a State of Palestine within the 1967 borders, Israeli presence in the West Bank would become...

As even NY Times reported on its front page a few days ago, Israelis and their supporters are trying to find 'solace' in the few remaining pro Israel sites like Fox News. Here is a comment to one of the Fox's pro Israel videos. Oh how the mighties have fallen!!

BS! First you said something like countries do only for Geopolitical reasons and when you can't find a real Geopolitical reason as to why Colombia, Ireland, South Africa etc are supporting Palestine so vocally and so much against their own interests, now you bring 'ideology'?? Read carefully...

In the 'fog of war', West Bank Settlers are indeed killing Palestinians and taking over their houses and with often active support from the occupying IDF forces. There are numerous past examples of such land grab but this time, with the mood in Israel being so hostile, anything goes now. And...

The Jewish support to Palestinians feels like a mortal blow to the morale of the Israelis. The support is so widespread--multiple countries--and so vocal and noticeable that recently two prominent Israeli news outlets have either disowned them, via an Editorial, as Jews or written long article...

Even my long favorite US Taxes blogger on You Tube is critical of us ordinary Americans' tax money going to Israel!! Oh, boy: Who is left to support Israel without clear bias of blind eyes??

Correct. And India is making a historic mistake. I don't think even the majority of Hindus living in India are pro Israel--the conflict is too distant for them. But Hindutva in India and Indian expats are stupidly pro Israel. Indian workers should be kicked out of the Middle East asap before...

Iran has been paying very heavy price for supporting Palestinians; with Iran's human and natural resources and relative distance from the 'Holy Land', Iran could have been the second most powerful and rich nation in the Middle East, behind Israel. In general, you are right but I don't think...

I haven't been to the Russia-Ukraine thread for a long time but I notice many of the Ukraine supporters are here parroting Israel POVs, but I am glad we have people like @Hassan Al-Somal here--he gave a good fight there!

Please don't spin my post. It's all relative. You and that other guy I referenced continue to bring up casualties from the previous wars, trying to say what's happening in Gaza is not so high casualties. Firstly, you should take into consideration Gaza's MUCH smaller population than those...

What we are witnessing is a war with the intensity of passions on all sides unlike other wars in the world and this conflict has a damned gory history of going back well over a thousand years of such brutal conflict. This is not India-Pakistan, Iran-Iraq, Russia-Ukraine, Vietnam-China and or...

Not yet. Both sides are calculating targeting each other except Hezbollah is escalating, little by little. I posted a NY Times article yesterday by Brett Stephens: He said a border town in northern Israel is so defenseless that it would fall to Hezbollah occupation in case of a full fledged war...

The last thing Americans would want are bodybags coming to America from the Middle East, especially not during an election year. Biden has already to answer for the 13 US Marines killed in Kabul in August 2021 and that may, along with the US economy, losing the Muslim vote, really really sink...

Some Western analyst in a video yesterday said Israelis only announce officers' deaths. Hard to believe that.

I know you mean well for the Palestinians but your defeatism is hard to understand. Earlier, you were advocating Palestinians should move en-masse to the Balkans or some other remote place when countered that the farther they'd go from Palestine, the lesser the chance of them ever going back...

Makes absolutely no difference! Social media can't be controlled enough!

That and provide material support: Humanitarian assistance, weapons, diplomatic pressure. Already what we see in Gaza couldn't have happened without significant support in Egypt. The kind of weaponry the Gazans have might be primitive in comparison to what Israel has but the weaponry is still...
