Israel / Palestine

The IDF have gone back to "enforcing the ceasefire" whatever that means.

Bombing the shit out of Gaza? Amirite??

Bombing the shit out of Gaza? Amirite??

Only in retaliation for hamas firing mortar shells and using snipers.

Israel thinks the ceasefire agreement commits Hamas to disarming. Therefore, I think enforcing the ceasefire agreement means disarming Hamas - how this differs from fighting Hamas remains to be seen. In contrast, Hamas didn't commit to disarm in their version of the ceasefire agreement.

I can't imagine that Trump would have overlooked such important details in his potentially Noble Peace Prize-winning ceasefire deal. Surely he put his big Sharpie to work on the small print...?

Sadly, whichever side ( if any ) you support, it looks as though the ceasefire is in trouble.

Donald will be worried his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is in danger of collapsing.

Moot point
How long does there have to be peace for him to get the Peace Prize? Or can he get it for his efforts to bring about peace? Even whilst there is a lack of peace in some US states?

Interesting description.

It's a Times of Israel report.
The Guardian has a video - https://www.theguardian.com/politic...-andrew-covid-starmer-labour-reform-education

Interesting description.

I think "minor injuries" is the more common phrase - at least in the uk - but it's easily understood English, no?

Yebbut, who doesn't enjoy the occasional pointless pedantic quibble.

There was no quibble from me, just thought it was an interesting description.

There was no pedantry involved, just a comment that the language used was interesting

Forgive me for being interested

Consider it done, my son!

It means bringing about peace in Gaza.
Regardless of how many they have to kill to achieve it.

It's the deadly version of "The beatings will continue until morale improves."
