Netanyahu and putin are both despicable (sub) humans.

All these "experts" and anti-Semites are not just racist Jew-haters, they are also crashing bores: same old BS over and over.

No ttbn, not racist jew haters but perhaps Netanyahu, the real racist, despisers.

Peace will come to Gaza when Palestinians love their children more than killing others.

shadowminister,

Extremely valid point !

Netanyahoo and his Zionist mates don't have souls.

Good article, thank you Alon!

I still reserve my judgement as to what portion of Israel's acts was motivated by revenge. Obviously there are some bad apples in the IDF, but I don't have the numbers, nor do I think that the author can quantify the proportions of Israeli atrocities versus legitimate defence, nor does any of us has the real numbers on how many Gazan innocent civilians, women and children were actually killed, also on how many of those were killed by Israel rather than by Hamas as well as on how many of them were not-so-innocent.

Dear David (VK3AUU),

«Netanyahoo and his Zionist mates don't have souls.»

Yes, Netanyahu and his mates don't have souls,
but I would not call them "Zionist":
they destroy everything that Zionism ever built,
their values are diametrically opposed to those of the original Zionists,
the values of Netanyahu's mates come from Jewish-Messianic lunatism, while Netanyahu himself values only money, power, luxuries and avoiding jail.

Netanyahoo and his Zionist mates don't have souls

So, the terrorists who never allow peace to get a grip do have souls ?
They must be rather weird souls indeed !

Good Arabs, bad Jews.

When the inevitable happens that the authors victims expose their own truths of toxicity to the West, and land in our own back yards as refugees , paraded as the quintessential, marginalised maligned and victimised, examples of the downtrodden persecuted minority, and extreme woke example of the DEI personified, then better you hide your daughters, for hell holds no bounds against their evil deeds, viz Oct 7th.

Agree with most of this and add, HAMAS and all the other Iran financed terrorists, must be removed with extreme prejudice!

Extreme religious beliefs, and the consequent actions, are dangerous.
Especially when based on fairy tales.

I have just read the most brutally honest assessment of the 'situation' in Gaza.

As published in Pearls and Irritations, Susan Abulhawa writes:

"...Journalists and politicians call it war. The informed and honest call it genocide.

What I see is a holocaust - the incomprehensible culmination of 75 years of Israeli impunity for persistent war crimes..."

Dear Aries,

«I have just read the most brutally honest assessment of the 'situation' in Gaza.»

What is so brutally honest about what Susan Abulhawa published?

Is she placing herself in any danger for claiming what she claims?
Does it even bring her social censor in her social circles, where nearly everyone says about the same?

There are places in the world, including Gaza itself, where anyone trying to refute Susan's views would have their throat slit.

Dear Yuyutsu

According to the piece I have just read, yes, she has put herself in danger. I would imagine anyone in Gaza would be in awful danger.

I have no idea of the social circles she moves in, so I make no assumptions there. And we all know the danger of making assumptions don't we?

I find the whole quote to be brutally honest. Especially the line - :... The informed and honest call it genocide..."

Dear Aries,

For certain, Susan placed herself in great danger when she visited Gaza.

But did she place herself in any danger for publishing her assessment?

Whether honest or otherwise in her assessment, I won't get into that, but in order to be "brutally honest", publishing her assessment needs to place her in hardship. That hardship could be external, including facing physical violence and/or social censor and/or financial loss; or it could be internal, facing her own inner demons and shattering her former long-held views.

Which would that be for Susan Abulhawa (Abulhawa is an Arab name)?

The whole situation has changed as a result of the meeting held in
Moscow chaired by the Russian deputy Foreign minister.
The PA. PLO representatives of other Arab governments and terrorist
organisations including Hamas decided to form a "technocratic" Government.
The terrorist organisations will be known as puppets. Hamas will for
now not be a visible puppet member.

Because of this there is not much point in making a full on attack
on Jaffa. Just take time they are not going anywhere.

This new organisation is a major tactical threat to the rest of the world.
It is not hard to see Putin's hand in this.
It seems that consideration must now be given to bringing Ukraine and
Israel into NATO.
It must be made clear to Russia that if they support and align with
the Islamists it can only end in war.

I think this has to be the most serious development for years.
Russia should watch as they will come for you eventually.

"It must be made clear to Russia that if they support and align with
the Islamists it can only end in war."

FYI China also supports Palestinians right to self determination.
There are some 140 different ethnic groups in Russia.
Chechnya is a Muslim region of Russia.

Russia's Chechnya constructs Palestinian village for Gaza war refugees
http://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-782139
'We will continue actively promoting the adaptation of our Palestinian brothers to life in the Chechen Republic, including their employment,' stated leader Kadyrov in his speech.'

"Following an announcement by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, the construction of five buildings with 35 apartments each has begun in Chechnya's capital Grozny, with the aim of accommodating Palestinians who are fleeing the ongoing Israel-Hamas War from the Gaza Strip. So far, Russia has received around 1,200 Gazan refugees, some of whom have even obtained Russian citizenship."

Baldrick,

Because Russia and China are so pro-Muslim, China imprisoned more than 1000,000 Muslim Uighurs in concentration camps, and Russia shelled Muslim Chechnian towns and cities for years killing 1000s of civilians until they surrendered.

Pull the other one.
