“#Israel is now going to be forever stigmatized by its genocidal assault on the #Gaza Strip,” says political analyst Mouin Rabbani.
He says the last six months of destruction have transformed not just Gaza, but also how the world sees Israel.

A lot of people came to Shannon Airport today to demand the Irish government end complicity with apartheid Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza by ending the US military use of our airport. With @ipsc48 @shannonwatch #USMilitaryOutOfShannon #FreePalestine

Israel attacked Iran.
Is it not fascinating that all of those western politicians,
who go on and on and on about Israel's right of self defence,
do not acknowledge that Iran also has a right of self defence.

King Abdullah of Jordan has been in power for 25 years.

Before that, his dad ruled Jordan for 47 years.

But Western politicians & media will never call him a dictator or demand democracy & freedom.

Coz he’s a good puppet. 💪🏻

It’s the same in Middle East & all over the world.

The Islamophobic racist bigots wanted the #SydneyMall terrorist to be Brown & Muslim but the Muslim (who’s also a refugee) was the HERO 👏🏽 The terrorist is White. They can’t handle it. RIP Faraz Tahir 🙏🏾

On Iran’s strike:

At Stanford, I attended a masterclass on military strategy led by a person with decades of experience, including serving at the highest levels in the military and government.

One lesson he thought that I always remember was this:

He asked us:

“Say the US decided to attack Iraq with a new stealth jet it hadn’t used before that evaded all radars? The attack was a success. Was it strategic?”

Many in the class raised their hands to say “yes, it achieved its goal”. But the professor said: “It may not have been”.

Why?

“Because now your adversaries know your capabilities and it’s a matter of time before they find ways around them. If this attack could be done with conventional weapons, it’s better to keep your top weapons until you need them. Using them creates a disadvantage.”

My analysis is that the scale of Iran’s attack, the diversity of locations it targeted, and weapons it used, forced Israel to uncover the majority of anti-missile technologies the US and it have across the region.

The Iranians did not use any weapons Israel didn’t know it had, it just used a lot of them. But the Iranians likely now have almost a full map of what Israel’s missile defence system looks like, as well as where in Jordan and the Gulf the US has installations. It also knows how long it takes to prepare them, how Israeli society responds…etc

This is a huge strategic cost to Israel, while Arab regimes now are being blasted by their peoples, particularly the Jordanian monarchy, for not doing anything to protect Gazans but then going all out to protect Israel.

Crucially, Iran can now reverse engineer all the intel gathered from this attack to make a much more deadly one credible. While the US and Israel will have to re-design away from their current model which has been compromised. Its success in stopping this choreographed attack is thus still very costly.

Moreover, with the threat of a regional war that neither the US nor the Arab regimes want feeling nearer, it’s likely their pressure on Israel to back down will increase, making a ceasefire more feasible.

Anyone assuming this is just theatrics is missing the context of how militaries assess strategy versus tactics. Theatre is an important factor, but gathering intelligence of the “enemy’s” posture is more valuable, especially if one believes they’re in a long war of attrition.

Netanyahu and the Israel government prefer a quick hot and urgent war where they can pull in America. The Iranians prefer a longer war of attrition that bleeds Israel of its deterrence capabilities and makes it an ally for Arabs and the US that’s too costly to have.

Lastly, if you are a person who hates war, if you want peace, the best and only way to get there in the region is to support the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice and dignity.

There is no sustainable peace possible as long as Palestinians live under an oppressive system of apartheid.

One of the biggest rallies Shannon Airport has seen in years heard calls today for an end to complicity with the #US military.

@shannonwatch spokesman Ed Horgan has tracked #US military planes in recent days who are using #Shannon to fly in and out of #Israel

[Abier @abierkhatib]

I had a sudden hysterical laugh when I realized that at least 5 countries joined forces last night to intercept the Iranian drones before they hit Israel. This tells u that they could have easily prevented the genocide in Gaza from day one, but they chose not to.

And I'm sad, shamefull and in rage.

Israel didn’t miss identify the 7 aid workers, they directly targeted them…

Israel didn’t miss identify the 350,000 house they destroyed, they directly targeted them…

Israel didn’t miss identify the 15,000 children they killed, they directly targeted them…

Israel didn’t miss identify the 35 hospitals they destroyed, they directly
targeted them…

Israel didn’t miss identify the refugee camps they destroyed, they directly targeted them…

Israel didn’t miss identify the 120 journalists they killed, they directly targeted them…

THIS IS A TARGETED GENOCIDE…🇵🇸💔

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Six months on, the Israeli military campaign has brought relentless death & destruction to Gaza.

Lives shattered. Children dying for lack of food & water.

This is incomprehensible & entirely avoidable.

Nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

[Squinter @squinteratn]

1. Western leaders in meltdown over the slaughter of white aid workers (and rightly so).
2. Unshrouded brown bodies are being bulldozed by Israel into pits in Gaza but it's complicated.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

The Israeli Ambassor sits in a large house in Dublin tonight as her nation commits genocide.

Meanwhile an American doctor returned from Gaza is on RTE radio outlining unimaginable cruelty and death.

She has to go - Ireland must cut all ties with these maniacs.

"Over 2wks in Al Shifa hospital.. Israel summarily executed people, arrested & tortured them, including the wounded, the sick & medical personnel, without feeling the need to provide much explanation or any evidence. It then burned down the most important hospital in Gaza..."

“The tipping point of the war is now that three British aid workers have been killed in the war whereas 30,000 Palestinians killed in the war”

Grim but true, if you kill people who are not Palestinians, then suddenly it becomes unacceptable”

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

Less than 24 hours since the murder of these aid works in Gaza and I'd say we're already about 5/7ths of the way through the routine.
