@NerdyCalixto @hamiltonnolan I get your point, but Israel are kind of playing on the edge of international law: *technically* they don't have boots on the ground in Gaza yet. That's why they are delaying moving in. Until they do they don't have to supply civilian aid. It's sketchy, yeah?

@stevenpaletz @hamiltonnolan Most rockets of that nature use solid instead of liquid propellants (sugar and potassium nitrate for the Qassam for example).

@DrewPavlou Hamas would only allow people in after they've been able to collect all their own shrapnel and replace it with fragments from Israeli munitions dropped elsewhere. This as it stands is all we'll ever get. 1st rule of Populism: Never, Ever Be Wrong.

@ResistTheRightN @herodfel @johncusack Erm, The Kingdoms of Israel and Judah both existed for at least 1500 years. I mean, it's in the name. Could be a clue, perhaps?

[Dan H @FatherJack82]

@a30aew @aviatorwriting We still are.

@johncusack Egypt doesn't want them. Tourism is a huge part of their economy and they don't want the perceived risk of militants mixing with genuine civilian refugees scaring away the tourist dollar.

@KuzeHideo2032 @RussianPropX @nexta_tv Dude, it's been going on for 5,000 years. Zionists didn't start it; they just won the last round (in '67). It's theirs for now. Might be different in another couple of hundred years. Canaanites, Israelites, Assyrians, Romans, Ottomans, etc. So it goes...

@designatedsur @neil_abrams @waitmanb Ironically the declaration of war is what allows them to do it. Such civil agreements are generally voided for the duration of a declared war. The clause itself states "in general", and therefore can be open to being suspended by war or Force Majeure.

@DrewPavlou Ammo dump explosion. Way too much radial damage to be from an air-strike.

@S_Palomino007 @QasimRashid Not quite. They have declared war against an enemy state. They are not obliged to provide utilities; that's the duty of the Palestinian Authority, which basically doesn't exist in Gaza because of Hamas. Should they still have water and power? Yes, but via Egypt.

[Dan H @FatherJack82]

@RobDenBleyker @dpakman It discriminate. Problem is when you target knock down the high rise that has a clear launch view of the surrounding area, then the building behind it that didn't have a view now does. Guess what the next target is?

@shoe0nhead Just move to Flint, MI.

@orangetiger70 @nancylevine @johncusack No, no... Bibi is a head-case ultra right-wing nutjob. A stopped clock can be right twice a day, but this ain't it. If Bibi had done his job right this whole incident would have been prevented from occurring at all.

@waitmanb Is it:
A) Jews (or Yahwites if ya wanna go really far back)
B) Christians
C) Zoroastrians
D) Muslims
E) All of the above and half of everyone else?

Thousands of years of back and forth. Tit for tat. Exile and invasion.

Pointless suffering.

[Dan H @FatherJack82]

@IwriteOK Inevitable, sadly. Apartment buildings are being used as launch sites for suicide drones. Hamas don't care. Every dead civilian is a new 'martyr' for their cause.

[Dan H @FatherJack82]

@candeleclerc16 Aussie sense of humour is a bit beyond you, I'm assuming?

[Dan H @FatherJack82]

@joysamcyborg @robert_spalding Nope, but it's still a bad play by India. This gent and his cause was niche info globally before he got assassinated and now everyone knows. Could have largely ignored him but now this thing has parallels to the Khashoggi incident, with India playing as the Saudis. Looks bad.
