Does make one shake their head. The UN partition plan was very good, IMHO. Given that Jerusalem is the nexus of the three great monotheistic religions, having under neutral UN control would have been a win for sure. Most people never see that last map - were the effective Israeli takeover of the West Bank has been insidious. The general trajectory of a displaced people given some land, only to displace others living in it is something that never should have been allowed - but no country, particularly the US, was willing to push for a return to even the 1967 status quo.A two state solution is now impossible unless the Israelis are willing to give up the land they have taken in the West Bank to build settlements. I see this as very unlikely in current Israeli politics.

I know some Arabs lost the land they were living due to the partition but in return they were given their freedom and a new beginning to create their own country after 400 years of Ottoman occupation.
Since the Arabs in the Palestine NEVER had a free country since 1516 ,
Netanyahu was quick to describe the Oct 7 terror attack as Israels 9/11. Biden described it as “like fifteen 9/11s” relative to Israel’s population.
By the same proportionality, for the Palestinians, the Israeli onslaught onto Gaza would be more than 400 September 11s with no end to the killing in sight.
Hamas using a hospital or other civilian building for military purposes makes it a military target. It puts the non combatants inside in an awful situation that is not of their doing but the cause is Hamas. Sure in theory Israel could not strike such targets but then they cannot really touch Hamas.
Interesting all parties agree their is a tunnel under the hospital.Bla bla, let s parrot the israeli propaganda since they have no prove and believe any lie that prop up someone s bias, i have a hundred bridges for sale if you are interested, galactic ROI guaranted, and of course some tunneled highways as a free bonus...
Interesting all parties agree their is a tunnel under the hospital.
The Al Jazeera piece is speculation. Al Jazeera itself owned by Qatar, a known financer of Hamas terror and known shelter of Hamas terror leadership and political operations. Clearly a biased, unreliable, and bloodthirsty source full of burning hatred for Israel.
There is nothing preventing Hamas from using the tunnel under the hospital for military uses, or linking it to their own tunnel network. Considering the extent of the Hamas tunnel network, the history of complete disreguard for laws of war, claiming absolutely Hamas is not using said tunnel is foolishness.
We might get the truth when Isreal takes the hospital on the ground, but it is possible even then the truth will never be known. Some may claim Israel rigged the scene. That said, it will be pretty hard for Israel to rig a connection to the Hamas tunnel network.
Now I'm just morbidly curious to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.
So, after the Ottoman empire was defeated, how did the Palestinians/Arabs not already have freedom?
What would the British Empire - known friend and helper of non-white people everywhere - "give" them their freedom?
In the same light i have seen many reports of multiple Merkava's being destroyed by Hezbollah , they occasionally post the death notices in their(Israeli) papers but it appears to be 4-5 at a time .It seems Hezbollah has lost over 50 fighters on the lebanon's border with Isreal in 3 weeks:
Lebanon's Hezbollah works to curb hefty losses in Israel clashes, sources say
With dozens of Hezbollah fighters killed in three weeks of border clashes with Israel, the Lebanese group is working to stem its losses as it prepares for the possibility of a drawn-out conflict, three sources familiar with its thinking said.www.reuters.com
It appears the Iranian proxy is trying to leverage nuisance attacks into Isreal, it is just failing and dieing for its efforts.
More to the pattern of Iran trying to expand the conflict via proxy.
Don't believe everything you see on the internetSome news, there s a footage, it appears that an apache helicopter was hoovering over the festival and firing randomly...
And in the same tweet an explanation about the kibboutz landscapes, the israeli press did gave infos but the propaganda channel i24 got all the priority to elude the truth.
Because they were still under the British Mandate until 1947, so they were not free , they still are without their own state.
All the other Arabs around them have created their own states, the only Arabs without a state are the Palestinians.
And that is because all the other Arabs used the Palestinians because they wanted to get rid off the Jews, essentially the Arabs sacrificed the Palestinians and made them proxies for their cause.
Looks like rumor becomes more reality as the US officially hits back at the IRGC in Syria:Rumors exist the IRGC aligned militias attacked US aligned AANES military forces ( the SDF ) in Syria:
however, other rumors claim it didn't go well for them:
however, other rumors claim clashes continue:
"SDF bombing outskirts of Mayadin." -> translation -> the SDF has close air support from US Air assets, which means there is a US Forward Air Controller embedded with the SDF in the area.
I wouldn't count on the IRGC assets achieving anything but getting murdered.
Between this and the Houth, and the Iraq incidents, it does look like Iran is trying to expand the conflict via proxy however.
