as he agrees to deliver a massive number of bombs for the IDF- so they can clear the country.

Are they planning the Ben Gurrion Canal yet- was it was this is all about, as some suspected a long time ago.

Call me cynical andpessimistic. Where on earth are they supposed to go?

It isn’t ethnic cleansing, their government attacked Israel,
Israel fought back, fault lies with Hamas

Please, stop this Annie. Just STOP.

Anniebach is giving her opinion, why should she stop on your say so?

I would like to hear the complete interview

That excuses Hamas, yet again , if true

No, it doesn't! I'm not excusing Hamas' atrocities. Israel is aware that Hamas is a threat, which is why it defends itself so well. There was a breakdown in security and intelligence. Two senior Israeli army officers took responsibility and resigned.

We know what the Israeli Finance Minister wants.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that he will stay in government only if war resumes after the first phase until the total defeat of Hamas, whose Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel triggered the war.

"We must go back in a completely different style. We need to conquer Gaza, instate a military rule there, even if temporarily, to start encouraging (Palestinian) emigration, to start taking territory from our enemies and to win," Smotrich said in an interview with Channel 14 on Sunday.

Really? How did Hamas capture hostages, invade Israel 7th
October 2023 ?

Because there was a security breakdown. Senior officers didn't listen to their juniors, who had spotted increased activity.

Israel wants to be safe .

I think they are one of the most protected countries in the world aren’t they?

Wyllow3 Mon 27-Jan-25 14:55:00

We can assume that, it is a question of "how" and the O/P asks, is it Trumps way?

Anniebach Mon 27-Jan-25 14:44:46

Wyllow3 Mon 27-Jan-25 14:39:53

Annie, I don't and can't pretend I know what Israel as a whole wants re Gaza and what Trump said, because I am aware of a range of opinions.

Which is why I said "some" politicians who have made their views clear, I don't know what the opposition wants.

Anniebach Mon 27-Jan-25 14:20:03

When attacked who would respond with a sneeze ?

What does Israel want , allegedly? land or wipe Palestinians of the Planet ?

Wyllow3 Mon 27-Jan-25 14:15:55

This is more than a sneeze, it shows direction of intent and it links with some politicians in Israel who do want all of the area. Trump holds the purse strings.

If only they would , if he sneezes it’s news headlines

I agree.

No need, Netanyahu and Trump have already decided.

Sounds more like you’ve already decided to me.

Labradora Mon 27-Jan-25 14:03:47

I think that someone may have mentioned to Trump that ethnic cleansing is a War Crime......................

He continued: “I don’t know, something has to happen, but it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished and people are dying there, so I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location where I think they could maybe live in peace for a change.”
The president, a former property developer, said that the potential housing “could be temporary” or “could be long-term.”

As one of the panel on Politics Live commented "he simply thinks aloud". Perhaps it's time that the "news" just stopped reporting every comment he makes and waits until there are hard facts to deal with.

Bit by bit the atrocious treatment of a whole innocent population is getting normalised and excused.

How shocked we would have been 5 short years ago to see the sort of footage we are witnessing this morning.

Never accept this normalisation - keep your humanity.

Anniebach Mon 27-Jan-25 13:37:05

War was declared on Israel by Hamas, Israel defended and still
has to defend

Reason to want to wipe all Jews from the planet ?

It is still no reason to treat the people in Gaza as if they were subhuman. Which is what is happening. Imo Seeing those people going back to their homeland which has been bombed to smithereens is heartbreaking. They don’t even have a functioning hospital do they? One atrocity is never an excuse for another one.

Yes that is, they want to do the same as was attempted in the
Holocaust, wipe all Jews from the earth.

They have a cat in hell's chance of doing that. Meanwhile, they have more of a reason to resent them than they already had.
