Israel-Palestine

While that may be true, it rather misses the point of mine.

I was saying that if any country criticises what Netanyahu and his government are doing (which is basically one long repeat dose of war crime activity), then he hides behind anti-semitism to bat off the critique.

What islamic countries in the region want is irrelevant to that particular point.

Context is never irrelevant.
 
If you think so, that is your prerogative.

If, say Iran want to wipe out every Jew on the planet, does that have anything to with Netanyahu calling the ICC anti-semitic for issuing a warrant for him for his war crimes?

Of course it doesn't. The context of Iran feeling that doesn't suddenly create a self-defence argument to allow war crimes to be committed by Israel with impunity, nor does it allow Netanyahu to call any action against himself anti-semitic, when it patently isn't. The court has looked at the evidence and decided there is a case to answer, and that is why the warrant exists.

He couldn't negotiate a stairlift.
Might be an idea if he tried to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine rather than trying to initiate WW3.

Hamas can't win. Their reported actions have strengthened Israel's position. Israel have free reign to carry out any action they wish with apparent justification. It's a win-win for Israel, Hamas is weakened and we in 'The West' who are told by the media to 'support' Israel become more vulnerable (again).

'weasel words'?
Hezbollah and Hamas nullified (what's not to like?) however, half of the Gaza Strip ethnically cleansed and a good portion of Syria basically annexed. ISIS/Al Qaeda or whatever you will, possibly in control of chemical weapons..
 
Basically I think the far right coalition are kicking off because there are still some Gazans alive. They'll almost certainly cause the ceasefire to breakdown, and then presumably the West will blame Hamas.

Over 70 killed since the agreement was announced
 
It suits the hardliners in Iran and Israel to keep the conflict going.
 
IDF in Jenin, West Bank, launched today a "large and significant military operation to eradicate terrorism" in the area according to Netanyhu. At least six dead, twenty arrested and twenty-five injured.

Problem is, the other main parties in Germany are now promising to close the borders, even to refugees. You expect these things from Trump, but not from parties which have been criticising the AFD for so long and talking about social justice.

From the article below.


"Friedrich Merz promised in effect to close Germany's borders to all irregular migrants, including those with a right to protection"

German frontrunner vows permanent border controls after knife attack

Friedrich Merz says he will close Germany's borders to irregular migrants, including those with a right to protection.
