I believe Hamas is ready for dialogue on two-state solution at this point.
No they are not. Their constitution calls for the destruction of Israel. They must change constitution first before coming to the table

......if they both agree on 2-state solution, why not? They can be neighbor and live peacefully together.
2 state solution requires willing counterparty to negotiations. That has been off the table since Hamas took over Gaza

Which is why some people theorize that the Saudis are paying musk to tank twitter. Twitter was the engine of the Arab spring
That's just conspiracy theory.

Some Arab spring favoured Saudi especially where they could affect regime change in Shia controlled states like Syria and Libya where Ghaddaffi was insulting their King.

Saudi Govt is actually on Israel side and just want to sign the Abraham accord. Whether the current Gaza situation will push their people into protest and change Government stance is the koko. Saudi regional goals are for peace. Saudi real population is small and is only half their population, the rest are immigrants. Same goes for all the other Gulf states. Qatar real population is only less than 500,000 when you remove the immigrants. It is in their interest to seek peace and economic prosperity cos they don't have population for war, and the population they have are too rich to fight. Iran for example will flatten all of them if they don't have alliances elsewhere. Their strategic goal is to transition from oil and develop their economy for a post-oil world. Part of the Abraham accords includes running pipelines through Israel, and Abraham accords guarantees peace regardless of the question of Palestine.

All Gulf states follow Saudi in their strategic goals (UAE, Jordan, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait) but Qatar sometimes goes off message as seen in the sanctions they all put on Qatar in the late 2010s. That's why I'm looking to see where Qatar lands in all of this.

Troll farms

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_farm

There is a new cold war. The West will support Isreal. BRICS will support PALESTINE ( Even BRICS get k leg as India hates yes hates Muslims) . Incidentally this is exactly how it was during the old cold War. South Africa was supported by the west and opposed by the soviets. So an ANC run south Africa will always align with Russia.
The Communist states have always sided with Palestine clandestinely and use North Korea and Cuba as spearhead. North Korea and Cuba participated in the Yom Kippur war on the side of the Arab League. Even today and as far back as mid 2000s, Bolivia has cut off ties with Israel.

Hmm. I'm very surprised Russia will be supporting Palestine when they have a prominent Jewish population. Just imagine Putin who used pro-jewish sentiment as a reason for invading Ukraine now supporting Israel's attackers.

Please what do you mean by social media farms? I've been hearing about it but never grasped it fully.
What is social media farms?
Russia has long been promoting anti-Jewish sentiment since the Ukraine war started. It's in their interest as they are blocked from Western market and their only area of economic expansion is to the East and Arab world. Instability in Middle East also favours them as oil and gas price will rise. In addition, they have forged close ties with Israels enemies like Iran, Syria and North Korea over the last couple of years. Israel killing civilians in response also gives them perfect cover and moral equivalence for what they would do in Ukraine. Most importantly, they want the flow of air defence missiles to go to Israel, leaving Ukraine lacking this winter when they will continue their bombardment of Kiev. Each Patriot missile for example costs $4m and there is finite supply. Imagine Hezbollah throwing rockets upon rockets on Israel, the West will quickly exhaust of air defence missiles to give Ukraine. Just couple of days ago, Hezbollah threw 4 missiles at Israel. Israel allowed two to land in open field and shot down 2. That's $8m gone, for what probably cost Hezbollah only some tens of thousands. Hezbollah alone has over 130,000 missiles, so you can see how they would drain the West stockpiles of air defence missiles in Israel alone. That's all to Russias favour.


Qatar is another deadly country in social media war. Not sure what side they are on in this conflict, but they essentially originated, sponsored and handled PR for the Libyan revolution that eventually toppled Ghaddaffi. They are strong in PR game, from Al Jazeera to Social media.

I'm actually very surprised about this.
How is this possible? Who is really behind this Palestine PR that even citizens of western countries will now boldly be anti-Semitic?

Is there a secret power behind this pr victory for Palestine?
Palestinians always have been more popular in the West, at least among those that will enter street. People who support establishment don't enter street.

Palestinians have always had the left wing sympathies, anti-apartheid sympathies, Arab and Muslim sympathies, Nazi sympathies, and now Z people (Russian) and far-right sympathies. Their coalition of various groups is broader, and with social media, they have more voice. Social media also incentives outrage over plain talk so their viewpoint will be shared more. There are also state actors with social media farms like Russia, Qatar that will be promoting and sharing it.

Point to note: Hamas=/= Palestinians
Celebration on the streets indicate Hamas initial attack was a very popular act in both West Bank and Gaza

The irony of those who celebrated in their minds and openly the deliberate targeting and murder of civilians, now becoming the greatest champions of civilians rights after unintentional collateral damage to civilians in the Israeli response. It's either you recognize the innocence of civilians or you don't. What I see is one state (Gaza) that deliberately attacks civilians and another (Israel) that goes out of its way to warn civilians on where to go, even drop information leaflets to minimise civilian casualties. Standards are different.

He's brought them on leaps and bounds. The guy is realistic. He knows their small population (real citizens only) can't fight war so he is toeing the path of peace and prosperity.

SIM doesn't care, he offered to resign, the Kings from bonny and opobo and some Elders and opposition leaders are cheering him on, I don't think Tinubu wants to be distracted by the drama unfolding In Rivers, there's little no tricks now in wikes playbook, I watched his video at the FEC meeting today, he looked distressed, I'm just not happy that the fight started sooner than expected especially when they are yet to complete their court cases. It's a Complex situation
King of Bonny and Opobo are irrelevant. No be them dey call shots, they are civilians. They should be careful. King of Opobo na my relative sef, na Okrika man, but we go close mouth for that one

Ateke and even Asari seems to be behind wike, Asari spoke today and he called out sim for being ungrateful and arrogant, I can almost predict the response of fellow machiavellians like Asari and other strong men in the region that has no beef with wike as most of them detest betrayals.

Felix is no longer Chairman and he was in a meeting with Fubara today for peace talks, fubara has disgraced and humiliated wike, there's no coming back from here, he couldn't even wait for a year to severe ties with wike, Its unfortunate. Everybody is minding their business, honestly I don't see a way out for wike except if Tinubu wades in but why should Tinubu wade in, what's In it for him?
You done see am. Most of the gangsters are supporting Wike so Simi gasto bow out for peace to reign

nothing will happen, the people are behind him, unfortunately wike miscalculated, he'd have just left the guy ti do his job, and still gotten his respect regardless, how can wike single handedly pick all his appointees? I reckon that sim would have handled it better by speaking to respected Elders like Odili and possibly someone in the presidency, rumour has it that aonr of the reasons for he fight was sims insistence to revitalise the songhai farm project started by Amaechi, wike got angry and retorted that 'we didn't ask you to do agriculture ' because it was Amaechis project, I'm happy because everything that played out today would have been handled differently, it's a shame. That Edison guy from Ahoada is also gunning for the top seat after sims tenure, that's why he stood behisim to take down wike, I believe sim has promised to hand over to him since power is supposed to rotate to his senatorial district. Wike had everything Going for him, he just hosted the APC Rivers faction loyal to him, his arrogance brought him down, he was starting to feel like God, he should resign and go on exile, his enemies are out baying for blood.
People can be behind Simi all they want. The people were behind Peter Obi but look what Wike did, especially in Obio Akpor

People don't matter. What's best for people is that "other" people aren't armed and violence erupts. The violence is not just for the battle itself but the guns that will stay in the protagonists hands and be used for economic crimes years down the line

This "peace" we dey enjoy for Rivers State so is based on arrangements between gangsters. You say Edison from Ahoada is supporting Simi because Ahoada is next in line. Is Edison at peace with Felix Obuah (sponsor of Don Wanni), and Godfather of Omoku/Ahoada axis? From my calculations, Felix Obuah is on Wike side and is chairman of PDP in Rivers State so given that mostly PDP lawmakers impeached Edison, that means Edison is going against his Godfather (Obuah) and na Ahoada go suffer the consequence. You know how wicked Obuah is, check all the beheadings and violence in that axis from 2015 to 2017.

Then you have other warlords in the different constituencies. I don't see Ateke and Asari going against Wike, and if they do, Wike will arm other Okrika and Kalabari warlords to usurp them in those areas which will burn down those areas like in Odili/Abiye Sekibo days.

The peace we have is based on gangsters agreement. The gangsters should come to agreement, peoples choice don't matter, it's better for the people when the gangsters agree.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Ibime(m): 11:18pm On Oct 30, 2023
My take on Simi/Wike issue is Simi should evacuate Government House than cause an Ijaw-upland issue

You be gangster, you either follow the gangster rules or you come out, don't inflame Ijaw people into a fight with their Ikwerre and upland neighbours

Simi is from far away Opobo, if violence escalates, as usual, na we the Okrikas go spearhead for Ijaw and bear the brunt due to our proximity to the other tribes and our presence in PH. Simi should play by the rules of the game he signed up for and don't bring tribe into this.

Rivers has not seen full tribal war since 1994. Ask those around then what happened over Ken Saro Wiwa issue. We had Okrika-Ogoni war, Okrika-Eleme war and Andoni-Opobo war. These guys will just start tribal war over politics. Okrika and Ikwerre have been avoiding going to war with each other despite several skirmishes over the years, we will not start now because Opobo gangster fell out with his Ikwerre godfather.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Ibime(m): 11:00pm On Oct 30, 2023
PH violence is sporadic. When violence is breaking out, you will know. Most of the violence is political rather than economic so when politics is hot, you just avoid certain areas. That's where the inhabitants sense of peace comes from

Rivers State in general (outside PH) is not safe and quite unpredictable. The violence there is economically driven especially toward Ahoada, Omoku, Ndoni side on the road to Bayelsa. There was a time between 2015 and 2017 that that East-West road saw one or more kidnappings/killing of road users every night without fail until Don Wanni boys were chased out. There will still be violence and crime there no doubt as there is a power vacuum but not as before.

For the record, most Ijaw towns controlled by warlords are safe except during election time. Ateke keeps Okrika safe and Asari keeps Kalabari safe. But during elections, anything goes. If you know the seasons you'd be fine. Where there is violence is those towns with power vacuum, where you don't have a warlord under amnesty program such as the towns I mentioned above (Ahoada, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Omoku) and sometimes part of Etche, Eleme, and Ogoni. But Ateke has ability to bring Ogoni under heel when it gets too hot as he has many boys there and his mother is from there.

Abonnema itself is relatively safe (compared to militancy days) except at election time due to Asari presence. Abonnema Wharf like Nembe Waterside is in Town/Borokiri and separate from the real Abonnema and Nembe which are in Kalabari (Sombrero river) and Nembe Kingdoms respectively.

FAR from it.

This had nothing to do with giving anybody credibility. Tyson has been looking for exhibition matches for the longest time. He was trying to put on an exhibition against The Mountain from GOT last year, and even went to Iceland to go and promote the fight ( watch his documentary on Netflix)

Tyson never believed Ngannou would do him like this. He wanted to fight an easy fight under the lights whilst building hype for thr Usyk fight that he has been ducking for the longest.

The same reason he took Ngannou is the sane reason he took Dillian Whyte in his last match.

This wasn't an arrangee, at least not in the way you described it. Tyson genuinely believed this was just going to be a warmup fight for him. Last night shock am die.
The arrangement doesn't have to be with Francis. Just arrange with the judges and stay away from his haymakers and get the decision. Even Francis will know that's what's gone on, but thankful for the opportunity. That's why Mike Tyson was laughing and saying it's not a robbery, he knows the game
