Arab/Israeli conflict between Syria, Palestine & Israel

[King Silkbeard]

The days of the biggest standing army winning out are long gone.Tech wins out these days. If there is an existential threat to Israel,the Yanks have half their Navy waiting in the bay and won’t hesitate for a moment to wipe Iran off the map.

Arguable that existential threat has already ocurred the Hamas attack was a major blow for Netanyahu's plans which you well know excludes the Palestinians from having a state of their own.

Hamas attack is one thing, Iran is a different story even if their military might is overstated.Israel has been able to keep them at bay over the years with targeted air strikes. Clearly Natanyahu is an incompetent POS and dropped the ball on the security situation. The Yanks are not sitting by With that arsenal within an hours range of Iran for nothing and will use it.

Lads today is the 78th anniversary of Syrian Independence Day. Just like us but instead of the British leaving it was the French, it is called Evacuation Day because the troops left. https://sana.sy/en/?p=329232

UN Security Council to vote on full Palestinian UN membership on Friday amid US opposition

The United Nations Security Council is slated to hold a vote on Friday concerning the Palestinian request for full UN membership.

I'm going to make a wild prediction and say either the Yanks or the Brits will veto it, if the required number of members votes go through, I might also be pleasantly surprised if it does pass with no veto.

Asked how the US will vote, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said the American position had not changed since the last time Palestinian membership came up for consideration.

The US position is that they will not support full Palestinian membership of the UN until there is a bilateral peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.

"But we are going to continue to find a path to bring a two-state solution to the Palestinians that provides peace for Israel and a state for Palestine," Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield told reporters

It looks like Israel overestimated thd success of their defrnce systems instead of 99% it turns out it was 84%.
