If it was Hamas, and they are the leaders in the Palestinian government, are they terrorists or are they an army? There’s a distinction there.

Big distinction. Sovereign states maintain armies. Hamas is not an army but rather a para military terrorist organisation that has control over the mainly Muslim and a few Christian inhabitants of the small ethnic enclave of Israel called Gaza. Gaza is no more a sovereign state than Kwazulu in South Africa or Wounded Knee Indian Reservation in the USA.

But we already know the Iranian government had a significant part to play in this.

[Ax mode] I don't think we've seen any definitive proof of that, have we? Just because a Hamas spokesman said Iran helped, is not a fact or quantifiable statistic. [Ax mode/]

This is where it gets murky. Any uniformed Iranian military personnel found alive in the war zone as a belligerent would be considered but not necessarily afforded or treated as a prisoner of war. Any non uniformed Iranian national found with or assisting Hamas para military terrorists would be considered a terrorist and dealt with as practicable to the situation. If the Israelis are in a bad mood that day they may treat the Iranian as a mercenary terrorist and end it right there on the spot. In the words of the late Russell Buffalino, “it’s what it is”.

Putin finally came round to realise his opinion is of no consequence in this war. He forgets though that in his world view small countries have no right to exist, hence the empty rhetoric about historic land claims for the descendants of nomadic Bedouin tribes.

[LuFins Dad]

He’s living in the 80’s. Part of that means supporting Iran.

[Renauda]

Actually he’s living in the 19th century. The ‘80’s rhetoric is just a facade.

Don't know if this belongs here.

But it asks for a reaction and it's foul.

(for some reason the video won't play, but you get the idea)

And the response from the Premier of Ontario. (I think that they are from different parties)

I was reading about Rashida Tlaib's non-reaction to the (now verified - Biden's seen pictures, he claims) killed babies. After her weeping at a hearing over children at the border being separated, she had nothing to say when asked about Israel.

Commenting on the Palestinian flag outside her office, Steny Hoyer said, "Well I have a Danish flag in my home and Ukrainian flag on my lapel pin."

Yeah, because those Ukrainian and Danish terrorists are just like the animals in Gaza.

Funny how the outrage over children being abused is not about the children being abused, but situational based on who's doing the abusing.

BTW, the Biden Whitehouse walked back the statement about the dead baby pics.
