Cassandra

In October 2024 the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was killed in action. This week his deputy, Khalil Yayya, was elected leader.

Hamas continues to rule half of Gaza. It’s a bit like allowing Goering to rule Bavaria after Hitler shot himself. For context, 40,000 people were killed when Hamburg was bombed, 25,000 in Dresden. And about a million in Stalingrad!

Yet much of the world behaves as if Hamas continuing to rule is acceptable. The newly elected Mayor of New York says he’ll arrest the PM of Israel if he can. If Labour becomes the lead party in November then they’ll do much the same. Labour would have Churchill appearing alongside Goering at Nuremberg. Perhaps instead of Goering!

It’s a very strange world we live in.

  70,000 Palestinians have need killed since the invasion. Perhaps another 70,000 need killing if Hamas still controls half the territory.

    According to Hamas no doubt. Maybe if they stopped cowering behind women and children and refrained from firing rockets at Israel the killing would stop.

    Alternatively Mike if Hamas wasn’t in control of Gaza 70,000 Palestinians would still be alive.

    So now you realise that, in the interests of peace and justice, those governing Gaza should have rounded up the invaders and released the hostages?

      Let’s hope many more Hamas are liquidated while they actively pursue the elimination of Israel and the extermination of the Jewish people.

    mike, the WW2 figures are documented and not somewhat invented.

    That’s right, Mike.
    
    Hamas don’t care. In fact, they celebrate it because it stirs the useful idiots.
    
    Israel has no choice but to pursue Hamas fighters unto death.

Ra Henare

I am always trying to find non-propaganda information, especially on the Iran conflict.

This interview is with a professor /Military advisor who has been studying the military situation vis-à-vis an attack on Iran.
He has been fairly accurate on his predictions so far.

So I was interested when he talked about the US/Iran MOU and why it failed.
It would appear tha Mr Trump had a change of heart after signing it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxJgLJGHsWc&t=2437s

Start at 5 minutes 45 sec in to the interview.
