    Funnily enough, I nearly several times over the last few days was going to put up one's of that hostage , stuck in a hole with clearly no food, being made to shovel, but I just find it so grotesque that I couldn't. To think even now, today, no food trucks will be racing against time to save him. He will not be getting airlifted to the UK for treatment anytime soon.

    It is our professional judgement that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel," the officials said.

    "Your credibility with the vast majority of Israelis augments your ability to steer Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and his government in the right direction: End the war, return the hostages, stop the suffering," they wrote.

    600 (SIX HUNDRED) former Israeli security officials !


    What is absolutely clear in this is that Netanyahu cares not one jot for those hostages and is completely committed to his end game, which is total annexation of Gaza, put under Israeli control.

    I agree about Benny. He isn’t stopping anytime soon and clearly isn’t arsed about the opinions of world leaders as long as he’s being supported by Trump. He’ll continue to destroy the place in his attempt to make the place totally unhabitable.

    However, Hamas really aren’t helping matters and are equally to blame for prolonging this ****e. They’re full of bravado now because of statements put out from European leaders and it’s clearly embolden them. Releasing the videos and pictures of the hostages suffering is clearly going to anger the Israeli public and make the suffering for the hostages families even worse.

    So while these two sides continue to face each other off, the Palestinians and Israeli public are the ones going to be the ones continuing to suffer. In different ways but suffering all the same.

    I can’t see either side backing down anytime soon.

    Right enough mate.

    I agree that we shouldn’t put up any pictures of the people suffering from either side. It isn’t nice to see and there’s enough of it on the news for people with a morbid interest in it all.

    What I want to know is who's batshit crazy idea was it after the war to put Israel where it is, couldn't they have had Scotland or Wales?

    Actually Wales, thinking about it....Abe <laugh>

    He'd be sending his mobi number out to meet up for a fight lol.

    Only joking guys.

    Yeah Hamas need to do one. According to most Israeli intelligence services, they are done militarily. Israel have achieved what they set out to do and have degraded them to the point where they are no longer a viable threat. This is the time to end this conflict now and get a future plan in place where the PA can govern a united West Bank and Gaza, probably with support from Egypt and Jordan at least initially and allow Israel to be a part of that process in terms of managing their own security (and that doesn't mean blockades, border walls, curfews etc) but a proper agreement where both sides have their security guaranteed.

    But this is the rub, Benny doesn't want any of that. And he's propped up by people who are pushing him to annex Gaza for a future Jewish settlement.

    Did you see the post I put up where Settlers had already drawn up plans to rename Arabic towns in Hebrew and to rename all of the different parts of Gaza City in with Jewish names ?

    There is never going to be any peace in that region until Palestine is established as a sovereign state. Because until it is, there will always be a reason for a fight with Israel.

    Arthur James Balfour

    They could have had the whole of North Dakota and it would have been 8x bigger than Israel <whistle>

    I get it, Israel is the promised land for the Jews and Jerusalem is their capital, but what seems to have been lost is that this is a shared land with the Palestinians, who also see Jerusalem as their capital.

    There's a solution to this, based on the pre 1967 borders. But it means that Israel have a lot to give up, because they have taken so much. And they don't want any part of it. (Not under BB anyway)

    Is it going to be uninhabitable or are they planning to move a load of Israelis in to inhabit it?

    If a Palestinian gets killed by Hamas but nobody notices, does he make a sound (probably not if dead)?

    04/08/25 Updated Standings

    The Official and NEWLY EXPANDED Not 606 Free Free Palestine (FFP) League table:

    1) Ponkie
    2) Spurlock
    3) Fosse
    4) Archers
    *
    5) King Hotspur
    6) Diego
    7) Ern
    **
    8) Bobby
    9) Easternwhite
    10) Milk
    11) Solid
    12) Bod
    ***
    13) Libby
    14) Welshie
    15) Luv
    16) Duggie
    17) Brb
    18) RDBD¶
    ****
    19) CK
    20) Saf
    21) Sucky
    22) Bwood
    *****


    ¶ Deducted points due to thread ban.

    *
    1-4: Automatic qualification for United Nations Greta Thunberg Just Stop Oil Non-binary Vegan Coalition NGO.

    **
    5-7: Automatic qualification for an all-expenses paid holiday from the Swiss bank account of Mahmoud Abbas

    ***
    8-12: Automatic qualification for the Intertoto Fair Play fence sitting trophy

    ****
    13-18
    Deep tissue Swedish massage from Benjamin Netanyahu and Betzalel Smotrich

    *****
    19-22: Automatic qualification for the Eugene Terre'blance Apartheid Nazi Supremacist trophy.


    Big movement at the top of the table as Fosse lets slip that he disagrees with Canada, France and the UK on the issue of Palestinian statehood. Massive moment late in the season that sees Ponkie solidify his grip on the top spot, and Spurlock move into the top 2 for the first time since Yahya Sinwar was killed by a drone from Argos.

    Saf is back, baby. Quality third Reich worthy posts plus a cracking Benny the Butcher avatar see him plummet down the league back into the relegation zone.

    Couple of sneaky likes from Luv and Welshie move them down the table. KH goes MIA to drop out of the top 4, and now has Diego breathing down his neck.

    Easternwhite came out of nowhere and for a brief moment threatened the Big Four at the bottom of the league, but he's done his best impression of an apartment building in Gaza and has vanished into thin air. His league position suffers as a result.

    Meanwhile, we're all trying to work out if RDBD is a more eloquent version of Sucky, or if he just has a really weird sense of humour. Points deducted due to thread ban.

    Viva la Greta. All to play for

    Sudan sounding a bit ropey.

    Not that it’s going to affect my day or anything but does sound ropey.

    But do you agree that a Palestinian state should be recognised before any help is offered to the people of Sudan?

    Important question.

    A lot to unpick here. Mostly why someone would go to the effort of having a blue tick account dedicated to a mediocre short-lived comedy from 25 years ago.

    Never heard of him, self-importance blue tick.

    In regards to Warrington the two children killed were 3 years old and 12 years old.

    Were they military targets, hmm!

    It got four series somehow. Was ok. Typical noughties American Sky One kind of nonsense. Sucky will have watched it.

    The Gerry Adams re-brand is quite something.
