Amps Netanyahu doesn’t want peace. He spent a decade supplying Hamas and Hezbullah with money and weapons. He condones land grabbing which is illegal under occupation laws under the Geneva Convention.

He wants war,, he wants to exterminate all traces of Palestine, he’s a cunt

      Basically yeah, he doesn’t give a shite about the hostages, he never has – the longer they are held the better for him to keep running roughshod ( love that word ) over the poor bastards in Gaza. I just wish someone high in power would tell him to go fuck himself. Wont ever happen though

      I’m inclined to agree about this being a long winded exercise to draw Iran out into the open so that the Yanks and the red sea pedestrians can finally implement regime change. Gaza is a testing ground for weapons as far as Netanyahu is concerned. See the bombing campaign of 2014 for further details and examples.

        Fingers crossed!

          Great

            Hursty “Israel’s response to Iran’s attacks on Israel will be “deadly, precise and surprising”, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has said.”

            Dropping heavy ordnance on some Iranian General whilst he’s having a sneaky hot dog would fit this description

              LT42 I hear you, but that is a risky and complicated plot. I’m not sure the post 9.11 / Dessert Storm / Afgan debacle US public want much direct involvement in the middle east anymore. Way more likely to be a simple pay day for the weapons companies with a bonus land grab for the Zionists… no?

                  I don’t think public opinion matters anymore, do you?

                      LT42 Hmmmmm… as the US isn’t quite a full dictatorship yet, and their elections seem to be genuine, I’m gonna say, yes, it does matter. But I reserve the right to change my mind on this one. Depends on the size of my current tinfoil hat.

                          Amps I don’t think the Israeli or Yank Govts give 2 fucks about what people think or what the public opinion is in general. There’s more than enough evidence to suggest so, despite them having quasi-democratic elections.

                            One of the key things in matters such as this though, is for various strategic and PR related reasons a government is simply not able to be open and transparent with the public as to the what and why of their exact involvement in certain wars.

                            If the benefits of such an involvement were to be clearly explained (eg cost-benefit calculation of access to resources, destabilisation of a hostile regime etc.) then voters would be better informed and perhaps more would subsequently support the decisions more - but it would also clearly inform their enemies as to their plans and generate further animosity and backlash from those hostile to them.

                            You might claim this to be “undemocratic” but it’s unavoidable - countries will have classified information which requires being kept from the public.

                                  Oh to live in a democracy where our Governments realised that they work for us and not the other way around

                                    The average person is a thicket though.

                                    Just look at the Brexit vote if you want an insight in to what would happen if the government had to follow the majority “democratic” view on every major issue…

                                      Yeah, the problem with democracy is that there’s too much democracy

                                        This one of the things that surprises me.

                                        The other thing about this is: have you ever tried bringing it up with someone in the military? Like an officer / lieutenant or squaddie level. Their narrative is totally different / many would leave if they believed what we are often are found to have really been doing. They believe it’s all always honourable at the time.

                                        The whole Iraq thing was shameful. Attacking a country that has done nothing to us (and wasn’t going to)
