The $6 billion has not been released yet. The implication that Iran used it buy weapons for Hamas is just a GOP smear campaign against the dems.

The Saudis are agreeing a peace deal with Israel. Regardless of what they're getting in return, more peace is better.
Unless, of course, you're a terrorist state that wants less peace or a nutjob theocracy that funds said terrorists to help destroy a country of people your homophobic sky fairy doesn't like.
What in your eyes does Saudi acquiescence mean in reality? Not sending in troops to physically stop it? Not tutting loudly in public about it?What if the terms include Saudi's acquiescence of the Smotrich plan to forcibly removed 2.5m people from West Bank into Jordan?

You mean create more violence?They are the de-facto leaders of the Sunni world. And Sunni countries border Israel on almost all sides (Egypt, Jordan and Syria). They could orchestrate a lot of border disturbances if they choose too. Just like Iran does through Lebanon.
Kick the jews back into the sea and grab all their natural resources. The same as iran and saudi (and once upon a time jordan and egypt) have always wantedYou mean create more violence?
Why would anyone want that?
Like they had before?Kick the jews back into the sea and grab all their natural resources. The same as iran and saudi (and once upon a time jordan and egypt) have always wanted
I get the distinct impression the Saudis don't want that now (or at least value a peace deal more).Kick the jews back into the sea and grab all their natural resources. The same as iran and saudi (and once upon a time jordan and egypt) have always wanted
It is going to get really really bad in Gaza if the Israelis are true to their word.
Tragic. Talk of war with Iran too.The civilians will suffer again. Like they've suffered before - and now already - on both sides of the border. It's just tragic.
I suspect this will be worse than usual because of the targets picked by Hamas.It is going to get really really bad in Gaza if the Israelis are true to their word.
I think whenever your approach descends to 'indiscriminate' in killing/toturing/raping etc...then your disregard for human life should come back at you tenfold.I suspect this will be worse than usual because of the targets picked by Hamas.
They can usually rely on the international community to be a brake on Israel's retaliation. When you start raping and kidnapping German girls and shooting British men, that support disappears pretty quickly.

It is interesting to see a little of the nutjob end of the political spectrum from time to time.Worth a read if interested.... https://jvpsite.wpengine.com/resource/zionism/

Worth noting that the bunch of student activists behind that site have made plenty of statements that fit the generally recognised definition of anti-Semitic.
You're right, and it's often forgotten that Egypt forms just as much of the blockade as Israel does.I don’t understand the history fully, but I am not sure people appreciate that Isreal does not wish to occupy Gaza. Or control it. Or have anything to do with it. The impression is that Isreal wants to oppress the poor people of Gaza and traps them there. And that isn’t entirely true as far as I can see (correct me if I am wrong because I don’t know a great deal on this).
Isreal would love nothing more than to give Gaza back to Egypt, whom it took Gaza from in the 1960s. Egypt are fearful of this now, they won’t open their border and take on the problem either. Isreal would happily let Gaza rule itself if it wasn’t run by Hamas. Stopping border controls would mean more rockets supplied by Iran etc entering the strip and endangering Israelis.
You wouldn’t know it from representations often from the left, but Isreal was proving aid and trying to improve conditions in Gaza to reduce the threat. I am sure it didn’t do half enough. And I am also sure fanatic settlers squeeze in Palestinians. But I am not sure the narrative of Isreal being the abuser really understands the history and reality. Isreal really do t want Gaza. They made the mistake of capturing it from Egypt (who took it from Britain) and now can’t give it back. At various points Isreal has been interested in a two-state solution but there has to be peace and no threat from Islamists.
As for anti-Zionism @totalspurs should Isrealis up sticks and leave Isreal now? Is that the answer?
