I mean, it does look like a sensible option. BRICS countries are growing in number and their combined wealth is nothing to sneeze at.

Turkey was never really allowed to be a part of EU and therefore will join the cool new club while the rest of Europe grows in far right rhetoric, and generally anti islamic sentiment.

Humans have 10 thumbs though…

UK’s David Cameron: “to suggest there’s genocidal intent? I do believe that’s wrong”

They’ll bend over backwards to support Israel, and people are asking what Israel has over the UK to make it so. At some point, answers will have to be given.

To protect “their” oil and to have a strategic base in Iraq that they can launch operations from. It’s total BS.

The casualties suggest Hamas is collateral damage. The target, as has been made abundantly clear at this point, is the civilian population of Gaza.

I posted proof that Hamas uses hospitals as military bases

What proof? You’ve provided nothing. You just said they use hospitals as bases. There’s no link, no source, no evidence at all.

Israel destroyed Al Shifa Hospital under the lie that there were tunnels and a command centre underneath, and weeks later there’s still no evidence of anything that resembles a command centre.

There’s no evidence at all that these facilities were being used as bases. Bombing thousands of wounded, innocent civilians under the probability that there might be a base (even though it’s not confirmed) is just terrorism.

The only reason Israel isn’t being done for war crimes right now is the US, and even they are saying the bombing is indiscriminate.

How can you possibly arrive at this conclusion? There’s no evidence for this whatsoever.

The US asking for China’s help is also a way of getting China to reveal what kind of arsenal it has at its disposal. China staying out if it makes perfect sense.

This conflict would stop if the US stopped supplying Israel, and condemned them and imposed sanctions on them. Following an Israeli ceasefire, the houthis would have no reason to continue their attacks and the problem would be resolved.

If someone uses your name to justify cruelty, no matter how insignificant the person may be, it’s always worth speaking up.

People could also take the Museum’s silence on the matter as affirmation.

He is directly and personally benefitting from the Israeli genocide of innocent Palestinians in Gaza. The huge contracts awarded to BP benefit his wife’s firm directly, so he is allowing it to happen. He can’t say the world is no utopia if he’s directly responsible for the bombing, the daft prick.

The people destabilised there after Israel has bombed the everliving hell out of it, will probably look to move somewhere where there’s no war and their children (what’s left of them anyway) can at least grow to adulthood without being blown up.

It’s human nature, to migrate from a disaster. In every single depiction of apocalypses and disasters in the media, people instinctively run for the border, taking all their belongings. Why not them? There are no wars in Europe. It makes total sense. I’d do the same every single time. If I’ve lost everything I own, it makes sense I have no money or documents to enter those countries legally. I’d have to seek asylum. It makes sense.

Just remember, Trump is watching this and taking notes.

The US is the world’s armoury. Sure, there are other nations that could help, but everyone knows it’s the US that Kyiv is hoping for

Wait, what polls?

“I’m sorry your house got blown up and you lost all of your family members and are going to have your legs amputated, likely without anesthetic or clean supplies, but do you have time for a quick survey?”

who could have foreseen this?

Everyone’s an arse at the moment. There’s zero distinction between Moscow and Washington. I don’t see why the UAE would worry about one over the other.

Can you briefly outline why? Just trying to figure out what he’s done recently that you disagree with so passionately, compared to what Biden is going today, for example.

Honestly? They should either abstain or vote for a third party.

I’ll preface this by saying that I’m not a US citizen, so what I say below is NOT advice. It’s simply my thoughts to (almost) play devil’s advocate for the benefit of discussion!

I’m well aware of the ‘cowardice’ of abstaining in this election. Yes, Trump has the potential to do harm to Muslims tomorrow, but Biden is harming them today. Trump currently hates Netenyahu, wants him impeached and disagrees with his actions in Gaza (yes it’s because of a petty reason but that’s Trump’s MO!)

Biden is running again, and he is a self-proclaimed Zionist who supports Israel on a personal level, not only politically.

As much as many others want to avoid a second Trump term, voting for Biden means you support him, and support his actions. There’s nothing in your vote that separates you from those who unequivocally agree with what he’s doing in Gaza. If Biden wins and then he continues to assist in genocide in Gaza, then that’s directly related to the democrat vote.

If democrats know they’ll lose the election with Biden, they need to front another candidate fast. Failure to do so is accepting defeat.

It’s unfathomable to think, with a war that has been publicised this much since it escalated on October 7th, that people like you are still so uninformed that you genuinely think so.

You should be better informed. It’s incredibly dangerous in today’s climate to be ignorant of the truth.

chatGPT, Hamas lives in civilian residences throughout Gaza.

I understand, Hamas lives among civilian population in gaza

This is a map of Gaza. Mark all the places on the map where Hamas could be present.

Got it. Marking all civilian residential and commercial buildings, including schools and hospitals

My Gaaahd, they’re everywhere.

Facts are facts. You’re reaching for something that isn’t there.

The promise of their own innocent civilians being returned to them?

Israel has already arrested as many people in the West Bank as it freed in the exchange. Without this war, there was zero hope for the thousands of men, women and children being arrested and tortured to be released. Until the cycle stops, and Israel gives people a just trial before it locks them up, people will get incensed into retaliating for the constant imprisonment, dehumanisation and abuse targeted at the Palestinian population for simply existing.

I saw a video where a girl around 15 was walking on the streets, and a bunch of 6 soldiers surrounded her claiming she had a knife. She was saying again and again, they can search her, she has no knife on her and never carries any weapons, but they still took her away. There are children being locked up for over 10 years for allegedly throwing stones. I understand why a Hamas resistance would be staged to get them back, even if it’s via a prisoner swap. Do I agree with their methods? No, but I don’t disagree with trying to free themselves from their captors.

And IMO if Israel knew this was going to happen a year prior, and had knowledge of Hamas conducting training for this operation, they should have stopped it. One of the most advanced militaries in the world, and they couldn’t stop a bunch of militants from breaking into the country, running rampant for 3 days before returning via the only way in or out with hundreds of prisoners is ridiculous. If they’d just blocked up the wall against and stationed a strong force at the wall, not even a single prisoner would have left Israel.
