58, & not 59 or 75? That’s highly selective. So, isn’t “West Bank” the colonial settler name for that chunk of ground? Will it get renamed to remove that colonial settler stink from it? 😲 Maybe they’ll (whomever “they” are) rename that area CisJordan for something different. So, Jordan...

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it would begin a “renewed enforcement” of the ceasefire at the direction of the political echelon. Hamas and its military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades (AQB), said on Sunday morning that they remain committed to the ceasefire and rejected...

Flip-Flop. After inviting Putin to summit in Hungary, Trump reverted to his position on Sunday that Russia should be rewarded for its illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, with Kyiv ceding large parts of its sovereign territory. Behind the scenes, Trump had pushed Zelenskyy to give up...

A rose, etc…if it makes you feel better. Seeing as it’s disputed territory, I concur with your assessment of the situation in that, without mutually agreed upon land swaps, and agreement of mutual borders, it will be a shit show. Prior to 1967, control of the Palestinian territories was split...

http://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-president-donald-j-trumps-plan-end-gaza-conflict-2025-09-30/ Comes from here above. Agreement involves at least two parties, which in this case were…? If you don’t want to call it a “peace” agreement designed to end the war, you can call it whatever...

They whom? Israel or Hamas? I’m going to assume that the answer is yes. DOHA, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Hamas intends to maintain security control in Gaza during an interim period, a senior Hamas official told Reuters, adding he could not commit to the group disarming - positions that reflect the...

Yeah, Ok, & with Israel, being a democracy, what did the other 10 million-ish (or the majority there of) Israelis say about this? So, you’re saying, before this peace agreement was proposed, and supposedly accepted by both sides in this goat rodeo… That previous to this happening, Israel...

Here’s something we can finally agree on today. This is never going to happen. Good to find some common ground. Other than a fringe of far-right religious extremists, this concept is not only irrelevant, it’s got to be absolutely laughable to the overwhelming majority of Israelis in its...

Wow. Ok, even with apparently three different attacks on IDF forces in the last day, Israeli fought back, & still resumes the cease-fire. That’s apparently what I’m reading in the various new sources today. You might read the same news sources and interpreted it completely differently.

Scroll up about a foot maybe, depending on the size of your phone or screen. Post #516. This isn’t a full-time job for me. This is something I do between things mostly on the weekends, or with my 120 second mental health/nicotine fix breaks during the weekdays, or some downtime in the evenings, etc…

Isn’t/wasn’t it?

Going forward, after the most recent shenanigans, yesterday/today, depending on your time zone…. (YouTube & Israel resumes ceasefire after Gaza strikes)

Ugh…Iranian proxies. Those that are and aren’t, etc…here in this thread about…Iran.

Just Israel? Only Israel?

Ok. The staff reportedly belong to several UN agencies, among them the World Food Programme (WFP), the children’s agency UNICEF and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). (What is the “UN System” anyway?) The incident follows a sustained crackdown by the Houthis on...

Sigh… Ok. Who or what “is” trying to end this current conflict (or the current chapter in it, or the current paragraph in the current chapter of it) currently?

Wow. Ok. This has what to do with supporting your theory? You’re the one throwing it out here again… Anyway, back to the reality on the ground today: The Rafah crossing has largely been shut since May 2024. The ceasefire deal also includes the ramping up of aid to Gaza, where hundreds of...

Is it aimed at stopping this current conflict, so that things can go forward instead of the same stupid perpetual cycle We’ve been watching for the last 3/4 of a century? Therefore making it aimed at BOTH sides in this shit show?

You know, I don’t totally swim in this pond. My exposure mostly comes from here, & if something peaks my curiosity, I look at it further. Taking a step back from the theory, the one that you’re putting out right now, let’s really look at it. In the last 75+ years, Israel has had to fight pretty...

Yes, that was my question, in comparison to the reality of the situation or is it a Monday morning quarterback theoretical grasp at revising things? Did Israel “fight back” against the attack Oct 7th 2023? Did Israel “fight back” against this most recent claim of being attacked? He said/She...
