I believed Israel was entitled to neutralise Hamas. But I've been staggered by the ruthlessness of Israel and now them expanding operations into Lebanon and beyond.
Are Israel acting on behalf of the US et al? Seems to me this is way, way beyond just protecting themselves from Hamas. That's done, why carry on?
Seems to me that the Israel hierachy have gone nuts.

Some of the government are seriously far right.

FFS - either i've died and gone to an alternate heaven, or i've just met a post from you with which i fully agree!!

on reflection - just discovered it's the latter - i couldn't get further than Leviticus (well that's a lie, but if i said Numbers, no one would have got the reference :D)

Good - I was thinking more of Henry Kissinger than Leviticus 😧

It's only a couple of months ago Biden had lost his 'marbles'

As an agnostic I struggle with any reference to the Bible, Torah, Koran etc. Maiinly because they've mostly been co-opted by loonies. My undertanding is that Putin went for Kyiv because it is the seat of his religion. ISIL were/are clearly bonkers. Netanyahu is displaying and acting on more extreme views.

My view of religion (though I don't have a faith) is the theory is great. But it's been twisted from day 1 to suit political agenda.

As soon as Netanyahu falls from power then he will be charged with a number of offences in Israel over corruption. There are 4 members of his government who are extremly far right. They are the ones who are pushing him further and further to attack/bomb anyone/country that doesnt like Israel. He has no choice but todo as they say otherwise they will bring the government down and Netanyahu will then be arrested and held pending a court case. By all accounts he is going to lose when that happens, so its in his interests to stay in power for as long as possible.

Sky news reporting 1 million people had fled Lebanon.

I wonder what percentage will be arriving on the shores of the UK over the next 6 months.

Hopefully the UK are going to carry out checks on them otherwise the UK might have a number of Hamas and Hezbollah fighters walking the streets!!!!

Iran has said if Israel attacks Iran's oil facilities then Tehran would in turn target Israeli energy and gas installations

They wont be finding them homes here in London though 🏠

There are many Jewish areas in London, including: ✡️

Barnet: The borough with the largest Jewish population in London, with 14.5% of residents identifying as Jewish. The surrounding areas of Golders Green, Hampstead, Hendon, and Finchley are also part of the largest Jewish population in Europe.
Golders Green: A well-known Jewish area in North London. In 2021, 49.9% of residents identified as Jewish.
Hackney: A North London borough with a Jewish population of 17,430.
Camden: A North London borough with a Jewish population of 10,080.
Haringey: A North London borough with a Jewish population of 9,400.
Harrow: A North London borough with a Jewish population of 7,300.
Redbridge: A North London borough with a Jewish population of 6,410.
Westminster: A North London borough with a Jewish population of 5,630.
Brent: A North London borough with a Jewish population of 3,720.
Enfield: A North London borough with a Jewish population of 3,710.
Islington: A North London borough with a Jewish population of 2,710.

London is home to more than half of the Jewish population of the entire country.

My god. Most gangs operate out of Turkey. There is a hole street, either side, spanning 1 mile where they will get you on a dinghy. But those people are not breaking Turkish law. Good luck in trying to smash them. Is the UK going to report Turkey to the UN, take out sanctions or go to war ? I think not. Barring nukes, the UK would get smashed by Turkey as they did in WW1, WW2 and during the suez crisis when Turkey nearly intervened etc. The UK licked its wounds and did a runner.

Yvette Cooper talks more BS than Boris. And that’s saying something.
