    I wish it were funny but in this case it's actually true.

    Hamas uses inflated condoms which are much more durable than regular balloons, to float explosive and incendiary devices into Israeli territory in order to start forest or farm fires.

    Anyway, condoms are Haram.

    @Spurlock to confirm.

    Are they as effective as an MK-84 missile on a refugee camp? ... guess it's all about perspective ...

    ....unless the condom bombs are also filled with Hamas semen that can control the directional flight ...<whistle>

    Gotta say, I'm finding it quite amusing that Egypt have now stepped up and are giving Trump a bit of a diplomacy 'wedgie' with their own Gaza reconstruction 'solution' ... one which would enable the Palestinians to remain there ...

    Netanyahu said: "In light of Hamas's announcement regarding its decision to violate the agreement and not release our hostages, last night I instructed the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] to amass forces inside - and surrounding - the Gaza Strip.

    "This action is being carried out at this hour and will be completed very soon," the statement added.

    He then issued an ultimatum that he said had his security cabinet's unanimous approval.

    "If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday noon, the ceasefire will end and the IDF will resume intense fighting until the final defeat of Hamas."

    —————————————————

    Nice move. I reckon this will be enough to ensure Hamas hands over the hostages on Saturday.

    I've had a suspicion from the off that Trump's whole thing was a bluff, aimed at getting other nations off their backsides to do much more to help.

    The thing with Trump is that he says and does so many bonkers things, it's impossible to tell whether or not he is being serious, so by default you have to assume he is.

    Egypt's complicity in Oct 7th isn't being discussed nearly enough. Without their gross (one might say 'purposeful') negligence along their border with Gaza, that attack never happens and 47,000 Palestinians would be alive today.

    Yeah I think Hamas will release them too.

    I'm not sure that's what Netanyahu really wants though. Because it keeps the ceasefire deal on track, the second part being that all Israeli troops are withdrawn from Gaza and a permanent ceasefire is established.

    I think he and some members of his coalition would rather go back to war

    Ultimately that will be down to Hamas. If Hamas stick to the ceasefire agreement, I can’t see the war starting up again.

    I think they will, the consequences will be tragic if they don't and Trump's given Israel the green light to annihilate everybody in the strip.

    If a permanent ceasefire can be established and IDF withdrawal in phase two, then we will be getting somewhere.

    It's phase three and future of Palestine that's going to be the flashpoint if plans to forcibly remove 2.3m goes ahead.

    It will be interesting to see if this Arab summit at the end of the month, where Egypt are proposing to rebuild Gaza gets any traction.

    Who's the bad guy though, the one talking about condoms or the guy that oversaw the mass slaughter of kids. The former is a **** nugget the latter could do no wrong. The warped mind of Piskie.

    I don’t think they’ll be forcibly removed at any point. Why any human would want to go back to that hell hole to raise their kids where there’s always going to be death and destruction, I have no idea. It’s hard to be sympathetic with any Palestinian adult that is doing that. I’m starting to think they’re selfish ****s. Return if they must but drop their kids off in a neighbouring country and give them a chance at a life without listening to constant gunfire and running the risk of them being killed every time the violence flares up.

    I just think it comes down to the fact that they are worried that they'll never be allowed to return.

    I think those who do want to leave though, should be allowed to.

    It's utter madness to return to a bomb site with your kids. I was looking last night at some of the pictures on the news, it was so flat in places, even if you wanted to gain access to find possessions you would never have found anything, a block of flats was now just a piled mass of concrete, that will be difficult to move for a JCB, let alone human hands. I thought we cared about the humanity of these people, I'm not sure we do if we are allowing them to return to places that look like hell holes. Utter utter madness.

    Most of them will have had nothing to do with it at all, the Israeli's will have already killed the type of people in your list, they wouldn't have taken any of them prisoners if they could help it.

    Palestinians have been imprisoned, without trial or charge for all sorts of minor 'misdemeanours'. Waving the Palestinian flag being one of them.
