@FellaShaggy @WarintheFuture @LowyInstitute you might want to look up Basil Liddell Hart on Wikipedia. He coined the term 'indirect approach' as a way to circumvent the stagnated trench warfare of the First World War. The Kursk operation is a classic case of what he propounded.

@radeksikorski We are now talking of the 1919 border, aren’t we?

@ModernHeretic9 @PhillipsPOBrien Mmmm A pro- Russian, North Korea loving, pro-Chinese leadershop anti-communist.

@mishtal And Israel facilitated the creation of Hamas to fracture Palestinian politics. Can Palestinians from areas occupied by Israel vote in the 'democratic' Israel? Do Palestinians have the same "right to return" that European Israelis have?

@BorgesNhamirre @bpolitics Back in 2002 the World Bank warned that the communities in this area were being deprived of livelyhood in favour of mining companies and corrupt politicians. Nothing was done. Solving the problem then would have been cheap. Now it is becoming an Afghanistan.

@JulianRoepcke Notching up the escalation. Soon we will have a Gavril Philippe trying to assasinate someone…

@sfrantzman Which leaves the question of civilians, and children being killed on thoudands. In Gaza

[Coen van Wyk. Pronouns I, Me. @WykCoen]

@PhumlaniMMajozi Israel went into Gaza because they went into Tantura and Deir Yassin, Sabra and Shatila, into the west bank to plant illegal settlements. They helped Hamas to fragment the Palestinian political environment. So, no, they did not wake up in 7 October.

[Coen van Wyk. Pronouns I, Me. @WykCoen]

@mishtal Tell us about Tantura, Deir Yassin, Shatila...

@FreeUkraineNow1 @kurt_colorado @RpsAgainstTrump I am going to have to study articles 4, 5, and 6. Seems to me an attack on a EU leader should trigger response of some sort.

@VusiSambo Elected representatives should be well informed laymen. The officials should be non-political experts. PW Botha politicised the public service.

@AvivaKlompas How many Palestinians, including women and children in Israeli military and other prisons?

[Coen van Wyk. Pronouns I, Me. @WykCoen]

@mishtal You are right, political stunts will not stop genocide. But thankfully internal Israeli political pressure might. Same as last time around.

[Coen van Wyk. Pronouns I, Me. @WykCoen]

@mishtal Tell that to the survivors of the IDF raid on Tantura. Oh, wait, there weren't any, all are buried under the beach parking lot. Try the survivors of Deir Yassin then.

[Coen van Wyk. Pronouns I, Me. @WykCoen]

@jfjoubert Your statement is a non-sequitur. How does a person representing Mandela links to vilification of a political movement and opposition to an ethnicity?

[Coen van Wyk. Pronouns I, Me. @WykCoen]

@mishtal @IDF Without them there would have been no Tantura.

[Coen van Wyk. Pronouns I, Me. @WykCoen]

@anders_aslund Is this news? He has been saying it for years, Peter the Great said it, Karl Marx said it of the Russians. Netanyahu said the same of Israel.
