Israel to Conquer Gaza part 2.

Oreo, I would happily share my plans to tackle the threat of Hamas, but guess what, I don't have the experience, skills, training, armaments, munitions, technology, surveillance equipment, intel, military support that is available to the IDF.

Instead I will tell you what I would and wouldn't do.

I wouldn't break the terms of the Geneva Convention.

I would respect the beliefs and faiths of other religions, and not deliberately target/snipe at their churches, temples and places of Sanctuary.

I would not use starvation as a weapon of war.

I would have allowed the rescue of tiny little Hind, a four year old girl, of no threat to anyone, by letting her be rescued by those two brave paramedics, in their clearly marked rescue vehicle.

I would have avoided bombing hospitals, and instead used my top-notch spy equipment to destroy the Hamas tunnels that snake for miles outwith the environs of medical facilities.

I would respect international conventions, and desist from targetting Journalists.

I am sure you will agree with that part of my 'suggestion', yes?

Unfortunately your own plans wouldn’t do anything to rid Gaza of hamas.
The question is what do you think the IDF should have done differently which would have killed big numbers of hamas?
And the answer is that you don’t know but it’s easy to say what you think they’re doing is the wrong way.
Hamas uses civilian infrastructure to hide themselves and their weapons and in the vast network of tunnels which criss cross just about the whole of Gaza.If it was as easy peasy as you so blithely claim then it would have been done.

The marches are always very peaceful.

There seems to be a huge Jewish contingent marching alongside Iranians, carrying both Palestinian, Israeli and Iranian flags.

In Israel in a poll carried out 82% percent agreed with the attacks on Iran.
Naturally Israeli Arabs voted against it.

That has always been the case, but I’m unclear what that has got to do with the March in London😀.

Why do you write "naturally"? Iranians aren't Arabs. Saudi Arabia and Iran are enemies. Iran supports Hamas for strategic reasons, but not all Israeli Arabs support Hamas.

Who carried out the poll? Do you have a link to it?

Don't bother with the link - I found it.

Here's the headline:

"Flash Survey: 70% of Israelis Support the Decision to Attack Iran | Segmentation Shows Strong Support Among Jewish Israelis (82%) While Most Arab Israelis Oppose the Operation (65%)"

That's not quite what you wrote Oreo.

82% of Jewish Israelis agree with the attack.
65% (nowhere near all) of Arab Israelis oppose the attack (no idea if the remaining 35% have no comment or agree).

So, Oreo, are you actually saying you agree with breaking with Geneva Convention?

I was at yesterday’s march in London and was astounded at the many thousands of people of all nationalities and ethnicities gathered in the unforgiving heat in central London. I found it quite emotional. It was a long slow walk from Russell Square in the heat and by the time we got to Downing Street people were just starting the walk from Russell Square.
I felt perfectly safe at all times. I neither saw nor heard ant trouble the whole day. A grouping of orthodox Jews fully dressed in hats and coats who just have been so hot, were there with us, many clearly appreciated their presence.
Minimum policing throughout the march, counted about 20 police officers over the whole march in all, in groups of 4 or 5 chatting together taking little notice of us.
I am so glad I went.

Meant to say the age spread of the marchers was between small babies in wheelchairs and people even older than me and every age in between. It was truly heartening.

Well done silverlining48!!

Thanks AGAA4 I thought I might be one of only a few older people but there were plenty of us. There was a good mix of ages, both young and old.
I met an older woman who had come by train on her own from Crewe just for the march. What a star.

I award you the medal of hope and peace 🏅🏅🏅🏅

Well done indeed!

AGAA4

Well done silverlining48!!

Oh yes, thank you.

Please sign the petition to ask Starmer not to support Trump n this illegal war

stoptrump.org.uk/petition-trump-iran/

Thanks WWM and Claremont.
I will certainly sign the petition hoping for peace and common sense prevails.
But not holding my breath

No, but if a MASSIVE number of people sign and share- it may send a strong message to Starmer. Worth a try, for sure.

Signed

Surely the PM and cabinet are aware of the thoughts of the people

It’s just about what I said.😄

Well, am glad you survived the heat.
Many Orthodox Jews won’t support any military action or serve themselves.They’re happy to have other Jews do it all for them of course.

Thank you Oreo. Yes it was hot.
I don’t think Orthodox Jews have to serve do they? Though that could change in future

I thought it was brave because they could have faced abuse given everyone was supporting Palestine, but thankfully as far as I could see, there was none.

Very brave being “openly Jewish “ , no verbal abuse !

Netanyahu stated very clearly in 1978 that he believed that Palestinians do not deserve to have a State.

Orthodox Jews, who are clearly Jewish due to their attire and hair, are totally opposed to Netanyahu, and support Gaza in large numbers on marches.

They must be strongly against Netanyahu as it could be risky for them on the marches Claremont.

No, which is what Silverlining clearly experiences.

Claremont

No, which is what Silverlining clearly experiences.

Marches are always open to risk and can turn nasty quickly so those orthodox Jews are brave.
