Israel’s political dividing lines return amid intensifying violence – BBC Newsnight

Published

on



The past 12 months have been the most lethal year for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in decades.

Nine more were killed today during an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian presidency is describing it as a “massacre”.

The Israel Defense Forces said its troops entered the city of Jenin to arrest a “terror squad” which was planning violent attacks.

Last year also saw a surge in Palestinian armed attacks against Israelis. The US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will head to the Middle East where he’s due to meet Israeli and Palestinian leaders after many months of this intensifying violence and the recent election of the most right-wing, nationalist coalition in Israel’s history.

The BBC’s Middle East correspondent Tom Bateman reports for Newsnight.

    ISLAMIC END TIMES ESCHATOLOGY ACCORDING TO MOHAMMED:

    Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
    The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

    Sahih Muslim 41:6985, See Also: Sahih Muslim 41:6981, Sahih Muslim 41:6982, Sahih Muslim 41:6983 & Sahih Bukhari 4:56:791

    WHAT'S GOING ON: A state with HET Constitution and Bill of Rights. In Israel it is the courts that have the function of checks and balances, because there is no Constitution, because there is no Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights of 1689 is one of the constitutional laws of Great Britain. The Bill of Rights (U.S.) is a package of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution.,.,,.,.

    Israel has a sense of fair play. It has people who have opposing ideas and democracy. Then on the other hand we have an apartheid state of Pakistan, which is known as the Land of the Pure because of the belief system it's people follow. They are seen as being pure because of the belief system that they follow. There there are no voices speaking up against the treatment of Hindu, Christian, Sikh, ahmadis, women and the lgbt community. Today, thousands of Christian, Sikh and Hindu girls, mostly underaged are abducted and converted by mostly old men every year and the government does nothing. Temples and churches are vandalised regularly in Pakistan. Christians, Hindus and Sikhs are barred from holding any top jobs in Pakistan and yet there's no reforms taking place.
    God bless Israel 🇮🇱

System madness.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
