Israel is calling up all active reservists

Can I just put this out there, in no way condoning the present terrorist actions, but Doreen went on a tour is Israel, years ago, and said she saw the Palestinians being treated really badly by Israelis……

It is, but have you read the Hamas Covenant?

Thing is they really mean it. No tolerance. Religious right to the ground. Religious war, forever, till they have killed all the Israeli's. Women are baby makers or jihad soldiers and Women are to be indoctrinated to indoctrinate the children who they stay home and bring up. They even mention slaves.

Women are to do what their husbands say and the only way they can defy them is if they go to war as Jihadi soldiers.

Israel has been bombarded with tens of thousands of rockets over the last few decades. Tensions result and it's extremely hard to keep a balanced view. But this current attack bears all the hallmarks of European Pogroms.

I have a separate post I want to make.

I've been watching X (Twitter), over the weekend. Today I saw a clip from i24 news. Apparently one community was attacked and murdered in their homes. There is an allegation that there are 40 babies dead, some of whom, there are unconfirmed allegations, have been beheaded.

If these allegations are true and we will find out; then there is nothing, no justification, ever, for this kind of act and that Hamas and those who celebrated this are going to feel the full force of law and war as a result.

I'm hoping it is not true. But if it turns out to be true Hamas will go down in the same space as the Nazi death camps and be dealt with using the same determination that we used to wipe the Nazi's out.

God help the children.

I see the allegations of beheadings are being walked back. But the body count is 1,000, mostly civilians.

Suff, I am not, repeat not condoning any of the appalling violence on either side.

I didn't expect you were Kaz.

You know that in WW2 the allies killed over 2m German civilians? War sucks. Best not to have them. But if someone throws a war do you throw in the towel?

I really hate seeing children dead or injured. Then again in WW2 my father was sent out to the country and we had shelters all over the Cities.

So I spend my time wondering about why people are still in the city and not evacuated.

Hamas seems to have stepped straight out of the middle ages. There is no place for them in a civilised society.

If you think they are out of the middle ages now, read the Covenant. It mentions Slaves in 3 places.

I was looking for the uptick button for this.

There is some very evocative art on X around the Hamas way of doing things. I'm not going to post here though, it's fairly in your face.
