I'm also wondering whether the people in n charge, those with real power just don't value human life generally.

I am wondering the same thing. The reports of Putin (71) being ill (Parkinson’s rumour), of Nethanyu (74) being ill (cancer rumour) of Biden (82) being ill (Alzheimer’s rumour) perhaps because these leaders are acknowledged to be ill, perhaps keeping from us even a terminal illness, there is no deterrence to them committing crimes to stay in power.

The likelihood of them being alive to stand trial, or even serve a day in prison is much lower than say a healthy leader. Life in prison isn’t as much of a deterrence from ordering crimes against humanity when you are potentially terminally ill.

It feels like such a privilege to sit in my warm, comfy and peaceful home, and cry for the people I see in these images. It makes me feel like what right do I have to be upset. Not really sure if I’m explaining this very well, it’s difficult to find the correct words.

As an IVF mother this makes me so sad.

So do the stories of women who tried for years to get pregnant only for Israel to kill their babies. Such a waste of precious life.

Where I am the news focused on starving children in Gaza. It's beyond belief.

I watched Ch4 news tonight and for the first time in my life I wept watching the news. The dying children, the body of a twin being wrapped, the other already having died.

If this is humanity we all deserve to be wiped out.

It's so hard
I have a good friend in Jenin and he's saying if this happened to a European or an Israeli, there would be a revolution. I think he's right in terms of the deep seated racism that drives reactions in the West but I'm also wondering whether the people in n charge, those with real power just don't value human life generally. (I told him about a man who starved in England recently, a white English man, and even that didn't move his own government to care)

That works for every armed conflict.

Soldiers are just a cog in a killing machine, regardless of nationality.

If you don't understand that, you don't understand the psychology of war.

Some will say Israel was just defending itself

inkworks273 · 04/03/2024 17:42

Imagine having to watch your child slowly starve to death like that. Fuck Israel.

Not many amusing things in this business but couldn't help but smile seeing that Netanyahu is sooo cross that he's told the Israeli embassy in DC not to accommodate Gantz during his stay

Apparently, we'll be seeing Gantz in the UK later this week so maybe he'll be onto the Israeli embassy here too

So petty

The Western countries realise their folly and are trying to back out slowly saving some face and influence (hence the participation in the Air drops).

They believe that if they can execute a regime change in Israel, all the violence can be "blamed" on Netanyahu and the world can get back to the status quo and all will be forgiven (Yes, they do really hold their electorate in contempt and believe we will easily forget).

As @FOJN said strategically the Israeli government right now presents the biggest threat to World Stability. Yesterday Hezbollah thwarted 2 attempts by the Golani brigade to enter Lebanon. Netanyahu wants escalation to drag the US into the conflict.

@ConnieCounter my heart is breaking for that poor woman. May Allah reunite them in Jannah.

ConnieCounter · 04/03/2024 10:40

I can't stop thinking about this poor woman. Ten years of infertility and three rounds of IVF to have beautiful twins. They've known nothing but bombardment and war since they were born. Now they're dead, so is their father and most of their family. My heart goes out to their mother. God help her. The tragedy is beyond my comprehension.

Israel with US support is a strategic danger to world interests.

Where did you see/here the interview with JM, I've really appreciated his analysis. Alistair Crooke has also been very interesting to listen to.

Yep Daniel Hagari and half his team

Plus Benny Gantz in DC schmoozing with the Biden administration without Netanyahu's permission

What a mess

Do they see that the writing is on the wall and they don't want to be indicted for war crimes?
