This claim has a strong WMD vibe to it.

The Saudi and UAE oil fields would be set alight overnight.

People don’t seem to realise that the various Iran supported militias throughout the Middle East have been holding back.

It has been low level skirmishes on the Lebanon border with Israel, the Houthi blockade of Israeli shipping and drone attacks throughout the middle east with US retaliation strikes.

This would escalate very quickly and the damage to the world economy, America and its allies would be immense.

Not saying Iran and their allies wouldn’t feel any pain but it’s a lose / lose for everyone.

Neither does peaceful protest considering ethnic cleansing has continued unabated for decades.

The settlements only exist because the Palestinians have been violently ethnically cleansed from the land the settlements exist on.

What you are arguing is effectively, it’s fine to ethnically cleanse as long you settle civilians there afterwards.

Serious question.

Does an occupier have the “right” to defend itself from attacks from the occupied in occupied areas? For example, attacks on the IDF in the West Bank.

Only what they release.

At the moment, it is about ~150.

And yet, judging by the casualties the IDF are taking every day, the military capacity of Hamas and other militants does not appear to be diminished.

It’s almost as if turning Gaza into Stalingrad is not such a great idea.

The UK is still reminiscing about the glory days of empire when it was exporting food from their colonies while millions of Indians and Irish starved to death or fighting a war to get Chinese people addicted to opium.

But Anthony Blinken said the United States has done more than any country to stop the killing of civilians in Gaza by providing unlimited quantities of bombs to kill civilians in Gaza.

It’s irrelevant now because the IDF has used it as an excuse to bomb other hospitals.

“None of the five buildings highlighted by the IDF appear to connect to the tunnels, and no evidence has been produced showing that the tunnels could be accessed from inside the hospital wards, as Hagari had claimed.”
