  • Israeli officials say they will respond

A return to full-scale war in the Middle East may be hours away.

        This is the current head of Israel:

        Mr Benjamin Netanyahu, born on 21 October 1949, Prime Minister of Israel at the time of the relevant conduct.

        Arrest warrant issued on 21 November 2024

        Allegedly responsible for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024.

        Starving children is not defending yourself.

        Neither is slaughtering children for fun, like the IDF. Their comment was satirical.

        What about girls elementary schools? Is that fair game to be in the defending yourself category?

      The cease fire was broken on day one when USA blockaded the ports, Iran demanded ships pay tolls for passing through the strait, and Israel and Hezbollah never got the memo to stop shooting at each other.

      ‘Negotiating’ in those conditions is performative at best.

      Iran patience ran out. The cease fire was supposed to include the end of fighting in Lebanon . Iran warned Israel again again and again to stop , Israel refused and attacked the heart Beirut

    I can’t wait until the point where it’s a full week of continuous peace and wellbeing we are sending one another. It will take a lot of healing and forgiveness to get there but I believe humanity is strong and brave enough to manage one day.

      There is no place I know, To compare with pure imagination

      Living there, You’ll be free

      If you truly wish to be…

      • Imagine there’s no countries

        It isn’t hard to do

        Nothing to kill or die for

        And no religion, too

        Imagine all the people

        Livin’ life in peace

        You may say I’m a dreamer

        But I’m not the only one

        I hope someday you’ll join us

        And the world will be as one

        Yeah fear, anger, greed, and resentment are much lower emotional local entropy states for us. Getting over that hill into a true global minimum is a doozy. It’s so scary we often prefer the familiar needless and avoidable suffering.
