Being attacked by Iranian backed Terrorist groups. Is this Iran Escalating the situation? and you see that as a good thing? yesterday the Houthi terrorist took over a boat full of Japanese Sailers because they thought the boat was Israeli. Can't make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I am extremely suspicious of that footage. "Rockets," even a number of them, don't cause that kind of damage. This would also imply that Israeli air defenses, which are formidable either failed or were not utilized. Very suspicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separately, the prime minister’s office told NBC that, “in light of the developments regarding the release of our abductees,” Netanyahu will convene the War Cabinet at 6 p.m. local time (11 .m. ET), the Political-Security Cabinet at 7 p.m. local time and the government at 8 p.m. local time. It comes after Hamas political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, said earlier that the Palestinian militant group and Israel were “close to reaching a truce agreement.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is if Hamas is going to be wiped off the planet like Netanyahu says then what is their motivation to let the hostages go? My guess is Israel will go a small portion of the hostages in return for a few days of ceasefire but that’s about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Net-and-yahoo has made it clear that the hostages are of secondary importance to destroying Hamas. All it takes is for a few shots to be fired by either side and cease is over. On a different point, I just don't see a long term viability for Israel. 20% of their population is Pal, they are surrounded and increasingly dominated by a right wing religious coalition that is more religiously oriented than democratically.

Tiberius Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 https://www.timesofisrael.com/1000-boats-said-set-to-leave-turkey-for-gaza-waters-in-new-freedom-flotilla/ Approximately 1,000 boats will gather in Turkey on Wednesday before heading toward Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade and disrupt maritime trade coming into Israel during the war with Hamas, in an apparent repeat of similar attempts from over a decade ago. In an interview with Turkish news website Haber7, Volkan Okçu, one of the organizers of the protest, indicated the boats will carry 4,500 people from 40 countries, “including anti-Zionist Jews.” Among the 1,000 vessels would be 313 boats filled with Russian activists, and 104 filled with Spanish activists, he said. Only 12 Turkish vessels will join the flotilla, he told Haber7. However, Okçu said in a later tweet that he expected the number of Turkish vessels to be much higher, at least 1,000, and insisted that the initiative is not associated with the Turkish government. He did not explain the discrepancy in numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
