@DanMKervick There are two million well integrated Arabs in Israel. That is as many as in the whole of Gaza.
There are no Jews in Gaza.
Which is the apartheid state?
Which is the more civilised ?

@Kanthan2030 That was before he realised that opening up to the West would result in his people rejecting his personal authoritarian power base.
Once he realised that he did a screeching U turn.
Scaring his people about the West is now the only way he can retain power.

@SholaMos1 No evidence yet as to how she and two medics died.

@RnaudBertrand It is only a negotiating stance. If Europe raises defence spending then no problem arises.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@InkDilettante @RnaudBertrand A case to answer does not indicate guilt. Merely that the court will consider evidence. With rockets still being fired at Israeli civilians and hostages being held despite an order for their release the case is extremely weak.

@ceolawyer Sadly, there has been so much fraudulent information from Hamas that anything said needs to be properly verified.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@krassenstein So if they pay a fair share he will help to protect them ?
What is your problem with that ?
It is already implicit in the current NATO arrangement.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@BGatesIsaPyscho All types of scenarios are planned for in the hope they do not happen.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@simonateba That is what the US did with U.K. in WW2.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@DrKarimWafa Historically, an army in the position that Hamas now finds itself would surrender in order to spare the civilians.
But Hamas has no self respect or empathy for civilians.
Also the civilians could group together and cast Hamas out.

@ecomarxi What happened to her green sweater ?
She is not present when they return with the stretcher.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@IranObserver0 That is why other Middle East nations have declined to get involved on behalf of Gaza. The real threat to all of them is Iran and its sponsored militias in other countries. Things are likely to get far worse for secular Arabs if western influence declines.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@IranObserver0 Iraq has been relying on the US to restrain Iranian imperial ambitions for the whole Middle East. If US withdraws from Iraq then Iran will destabilise it and take over imposing religious warlike caliphate. Same applies to all the other Middle East nations.

@BowesChay He is a deluded paranoid psychopath.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@caitoz Well, those 4 remaining Hamas brigades could just do the decent thing and come out from hiding amongst the civilians.
Any self respecting military force would do that.
Or the civilians could rise up and throw them out.
They do have options.

@HamasNenglish @ecomarxi @Diana2962845618 @EBU_HQ Decades of violence on British streets might have something to do with it. It isn’t hate so much as sensible caution and expressions of concern about Islamist (not Muslim) cultural attitudes.

@LizWebsterSBF Brexit could have been good for farmers if it had ever happened. Only a clean break was a real Brexit.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@DanielSeidemann Every religion and nation has a similar group. Why is it regarded as something special for Israel ?

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@ecomarxi Democracy and capitalism got the closest. Wherever collectivism has been tried it killed millions. Human nature is naturally competitive and cannot be suppressed without large scale violence. It can only be managed by a system of freedom supported by sensible general laws.

[Stephen Wilde @StephenWilde11]

@caitoz Indigenous peoples’ lives were like that though.
They were no better or worse than we would be in the same situation and vice versa. Read about the Comanches, Chaka Zulu and the Māoris amongst many others.
