Death of Innocence.

It's never going to stop until Israel becomes an Islamic state. Bit like that ****** bloke on GB news said, The UK won't become a fully Islamic country for at least a hundred years.

Hezbollah are backed by Iran, now there is a worry.

#298 There are 2 aspects to this both with the same results , every rocket fired into Israel is aimed at killing or maiming as many Jews as possible . Those fired into Ghaza are fired on intelligence where Hamas is, Hamas uses the public as a human shield and is a win win situation for them as the Jews are not deterred by human shields they go through them regardless , either way Hamas wins in both cases by the loss of its soldiers ,or the bad publicity Israel gets by any loss of the public , its a no win for the Israelis if they are put off by public sentiment.

"Since then (August 2014 data), almost 20,000 rockets have hit southern Israel, all but a few thousand of them since Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in August 2005.
Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel - Wikipedia
Hamas justified these as counter-attacks to the Israeli blockade of Gaza. The rockets have killed 28 people and injured hundreds more.

"At least 37,372 people have been killed and 85,452 injured in Israel's war on Gaza since October 7."

28 Israelis since 2005..........37,372 Palestinians since October last year
By any standards this is monstrous,

One of the senior generals in the Israel army, now pulled out by PM, spoke on Israel TV.
Since the change of method by Israel where the PM is now in charge of the fighting brigade.

The general made the following statement.

'Hamas is in the people, it is in their head and in their heart. For this reason we will never get rid of Hamas.'

That's about the best comment on the war yet.

[James Curry]

the World Central Kitchen aid convoy attack occurred on April 1, 2024, when Israeli drones targeted a three-car convoy belonging to the World Central Kitchen (WCK) in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the tragic deaths of seven aid workers1. These dedicated individuals held Australian, British, Palestinian, Polish, and dual American-Canadian citizenships. Despite the WCK having coordinated their route with the Israeli military.

Well they certainly cannot deny they had intelligence about the World Central Kitchen, bang on the money with the Drone attack.

Johnny it is most western governments policy not to pay ransoms to any kidnapping gangs to increase their retirement conditions as they think. Their relatives of the kidnappees may want to , but that would have to be in private. Once a government gives way to threats it is no longer a government in most peace loving eyes. Hamas in most eyes should be extinguished totally whatever the cost , and any other similar organisation should get the same treatment. No good in later years complaining. Hitler should have been taken out long before war was declared . All good to be wise after the event, but stupid people do stupid things. JS.

It is not the current lot of terrorists we should fear, we know who and what they are.
Eliminate them if we can, but it is a big IF.

Then what follows, something even more evil because these people who run them have one goal, create terror to control the people and in an effort to remove Israel from where it is.

Terrorists have been around since Cocky was in the egg and I see no way they will ever be completely removed, the best we can hope for is to control them.

Exclusive: Nearly half of the Israeli munitions dropped on Gaza are imprecise ‘dumb bombs,’ US intelligence assessment finds.

The 2,000-pound bombs feature prominently in attacks on the perimeter of Gaza City, the epicenter of the Israeli military operation in October and much of
November

Where does "intelligence where Hamas is " come in when they are taking out whole city blocks? Just asking!


P.S.But Israel’s use of Lavender, Where’s Dad, and other previously exposed algorithmic targeting systems—such as the Gospel—shows how human-machine teaming can become a recipe for strategic and moral disaster. Local Call and +972 published testimonies from a range of intelligence officers suggesting growing discomfort, at all levels of the IDF’s chain of command, with the readiness of commanders to strike targets with no apparent regard to bystanders.
