You parrot the old propaganda script like the war only started in 2007, ignoring decades of dispossession, occupation, and apartheid that preceded Hamas. I said before that you should dig deeper in history, investigate the root cause, ask the "What", "Who", "When", "Where" and "Why" questions. Gaza wasn’t turned into a prison because of Hamas. Hamas rose from the ashes of Israeli brutality, endless checkpoints, bulldozed homes, and the utter failure of diplomacy.

You frame Israel as the victim defending itself from a "terror state" but no amount of concrete used in tunnels justifies white phosphorus in refugee camps or siege-induced starvation. You talk about October 7 like it happened in a vacuum, but you treat Biafra’s starvation as “just war,” parroting British colonial lies, showing exactly why your moral compass is broken and your worldview colonized.

Now the mask is slipping. France and Britain who are both Israel's oldest apologists are now flirting with recognition of a Palestinian state, because the world sees what you refuse to. Your Israel-worshipping rhetoric might earn applause in echo chambers, but it’s crumbling under the weight of global disgust. You’re not defending justice, you're defending a regime that kills journalists, bombs children, and calls it self-defense.

The only dangerous fantasy here is pretending that endless occupation, military domination, and apartheid will lead to peace. It won’t. France and Britain now knows that. They actually knew it all this while but again agenda must agend as usual, just that the agenda is under the scrutiny of the world and they're now making a U-turn, standing on the right side of history for a change. Maybe you need to look from that lens too, or continue cheerleading.

You claim the conflict didn't start in 2007, and you're right. It started much earlier, with the Arab rejection of a Jewish state in 1948 and subsequent wars launched against Israel. The so-called 'occupation' began in 1967 as a defensive measure after Arab nations attacked Israel. To call Israel an 'apartheid' state is simply false, ignoring the full rights and representation of Israeli Arabs.

You say Hamas rose from the ashes of Israeli brutality, but Hamas is a terrorist organization explicitly committed to Israel's destruction. They seized control of Gaza in a violent coup, and the subsequent blockade is a necessary security measure to prevent them from building their terror infrastructure and launching attacks against Israeli civilians. They use concrete not for their people, but for terror tunnels.

You want to talk about October 7th not happening in a vacuum? I recognize that war has tragic consequences, but I also see the blatant hypocrisy in how different conflicts are judged, especially when it comes to Israel. The UN's silence on Biafra compared to its swift accusations against Israel speaks volumes about political agendas, not genuine concern for human rights.

And regarding global disgust or France and Britain flirting with recognition, international diplomacy is complex, and many nations understand Israel's inherent right to self-defense. No amount of international posturing changes the fact that Israel faces an existential threat from groups like Hamas.

The dangerous fantasy isn't defending Israel's right to exist; it's pretending that peace can be achieved when one side remains committed to violence and refuses to recognize the other's right to security. Until there's a Palestinian leadership willing to genuinely negotiate and abandon terrorism, Israel will continue to defend its citizens, as any sovereign nation would.

Honestly, I stopped taking you seriously the moment you downplayed the Biafra war. Any Nigerian parroting “it wasn’t genocide” while thousands of children starved on global TV either has selective memory or is too intellectually colonized to face hard truths. The UK backed that war military and financially, not for unity or justice, but for oil and geopolitical leverage. Same playbook they support in the Middle East today which is to back whoever serves their interests, civilians be damned.

So forgive me if I don’t buy your moral outrage over Hamas rockets when your own history is soaked in silent complicity. Gaza was already a strangled, walled-off ghetto before Oct 7. The siege, the blockades, the “calorie calculation” Israel didn’t just respond, they engineered misery.

You say Jewish refugees built a state, yes, with full Western backing and billions in aid. Palestinians? They got dispossession, refugee camps, and bombs for breakfast.

Until you reckon with your own history and stop regurgitating propaganda like it’s gospel, spare us the lectures on morality and peace deals. You sound less like a concerned observer and more like someone cheering from the sidelines because they think being colonized made them wise.

You talk about Gaza being a "ghetto" before October 7th. Let's not rewrite history. The blockade and the walls exist for one reason: to stop the suicide bombers, the sniper attacks, and the thousands of rockets that were fired into Israel from Gaza long before this current war. You mention the "calorie calculation." This is a classic piece of propaganda. It wasn't a plan to starve people. It was an internal security assessment to determine the minimum amount of food needed to flow into Gaza to prevent a humanitarian crisis while maintaining a blockade against a hostile terror regime. Israel has, for years, facilitated the entry of hundreds of trucks of food, medicine, and goods into Gaza daily, even while being attacked from it. The misery in Gaza was engineered by one group: Hamas, which chose to invest in terror tunnels and rockets instead of hospitals and schools.

And please, spare me the lecture on Jewish refugees versus Palestinian refugees. You conveniently forget the nearly one million Jewish refugees who were violently expelled from Arab and Muslim countries across the Middle East after 1948. They were forced to leave behind their homes, businesses, and millennia of history. Where did they go? Most went to a tiny, nascent state of Israel with no resources. Israel absorbed them, integrated them, and they helped build a nation.

What happened to the Palestinian refugees? They were, by and large, deliberately kept in refugee camps by their Arab brothers, used as political pawns and a perpetual weapon against Israel for 75 years. One group was told to build a future. The other was told to cling to a grievance. Don't blame Israel for that cynical and cruel decision by the surrounding Arab states.

You say the Jews built a state with Western money? Is it not the same Western money that is been used to build, feed and clothe the Palestinians? Western countries are the largest donors to those forever-refugees called Palestinians. No wonder they take it for granted and continue to start wars. If the Palestinians are left to suffer the full consequences of the war they started and get to work tirelessly to rebuild Gaza, they will understand that starting a new war is a bad idea that could ruin all they've worked for.

You accuse me of being "intellectually colonized." The real colonized mind is the one that sees the world in a simple cartoon of Western oppressors and noble brown-skinned resistance, even when that resistance is a theocratic death cult that oppresses its own people and preaches genocide.

CaseSensitive:
Chief, you keep throwing out strawman arguments like they’re fact. Nobody is saying countries shouldn’t have border security. What we're saying, and what you're carefully avoiding, is that Israel’s control of Gaza is not about normal border policy. It’s about domination. Total control of airspace, sea, imports, exports, movement, and even calorie intake, that’s not a checkpoint. That’s a siege.
Comparing it to USA–Canada or Nigeria–Benin is laughable. Are those countries bombing each other? Cutting off medicine and food? Starving children? Turning entire cities into rubble? No. So let’s not insult everyone’s intelligence by pretending this is just “border control.”

As for Egypt, again, deflection. Egypt’s Rafah crossing is a single gate. It’s not Gaza’s airport, seaport, telecoms, or airspace. Israel controls all of that. Egypt is complicit, sure, but it’s not the occupying power. It’s Israel that imposes the naval blockade. It’s Israel that decides what food, fuel, and medicine is “permissible.” Gaza’s survival and its collapse has always been tied to Israel’s grip.

Now about Hamas, you keep repeating that they used aid to build tunnels. First off, let’s be clear: Iran most likely funded the tunnel infrastructures. The majority of international aid never even touches Hamas. It goes through the UN, NGOs, and international bodies. Gaza’s hospitals are collapsing because Israel has repeatedly bombed them, not because Hamas spent all the money on tunnels.
You want to question Hamas’ priorities? That's fine and fair. But you’re using that to excuse the mass killing of civilians. You don’t bomb an entire population because you hate its rulers. That’s collective punishment and it’s a war crime.

And your Nazi comparison is not “100% on point.” It’s 100% disgraceful. The Nazis industrialized genocide, rounded up entire populations, and tried to exterminate a race. Hamas committed a horrific attack but that doesn’t justify flattening Gaza or labeling every Palestinian a terrorist. Your comparison is emotional bait, not historical analysis.
Oh and about the settlers. Don’t lie. Yes, Israel removed settlers from Gaza in 2005, but it never stopped controlling it militarily. Gaza was turned into a fenced cage, its economy strangled, its air and sea space locked. Leaving settlers doesn’t equal freedom when you still hold the keys to the prison. That's like saying apartheid South Africa should have been a democracy too.

And please don't even attempt to insult my intelligence about the Oslo accord. Let’s not pretend Israel respected the Accords, the same Israel that expanded settlements in the West Bank, killed the two-state solution, and continues to violate every agreement they signed when it suits them. You're defending a state that demands everyone else follow rules while breaking them with zero consequences.
So before you call anyone a hypocrite, check your own position. You're not defending peace bro. You’re defending apartheid, starvation, displacement, and occupation then blaming the victims for resisting. That’s not justice, that’s propaganda with lies and deflections.

You're trying to paint a picture of pure Israeli aggression and pure Palestinian victimhood, and the reality is far more complex and dangerous than that.

First, let's talk about this your claim that Israel's control of Gaza is an act of "domination." This isn't a policy that appeared out of nowhere. It's a direct response to a clear and present danger. Before Hamas took over in a bloody coup in 2007, there were 10,000-20,000 Gazans crossing into Israel for work every day. The severe blockade you call a siege was implemented after Hamas violently seized power, executed their Fatah rivals, and began launching thousands of rockets at Israeli towns. What you call a siege is a security quarantine of a territory run by a designated terrorist organization whose official charter calls for the annihilation of Israel. If a narco-state or terrorist group took over Ontario, Canada and started shelling Detroit, USA, you’d see a border policy that would make Israel’s look like a welcome mat. The blockade is a direct consequence of Hamas's actions, not the cause of the conflict.

You try to downplay Egypt's role, but it's a critical piece of the puzzle you're conveniently ignoring. Why does Egypt maintain its own strict blockade on its border with Gaza? Because Egypt's government also views Hamas (an offshoot of their nemesis and another terrorist group, the Muslim Brotherhood) as a major terrorist threat to their national security. Are they also "occupiers"? Or are they being rational actors in the face of a hostile regime? You single out Israel because it fits your narrative, while ignoring that Gaza's other neighbor also wants nothing to do with an open border with Hamas.

Now, let's talk about aid and tunnels. Your claim that international aid doesn't touch Hamas is naive at best. Hamas was the government of Gaza. They controlled the ministries. They controlled distribution. There is overwhelming evidence, including from Hamas leaders themselves, that they diverted massive amounts of resources, like concrete and metal, away from civilian infrastructure to build their terror tunnel network. Mousa Abu Marzouk, a Hamas official, stated it plainly: the tunnels were built to protect Hamas fighters, and it was the UN's responsibility to protect civilians. When a hospital's power goes out because fuel was stolen by Hamas to ventilate tunnels, that is not Israel's fault. When a school can't be rebuilt because the concrete was used for an underground bunker, that is not Israel's fault. To blame Israel for bombing a hospital that Hamas has turned into a command center and weapons depot is to blame the firefighter for breaking a window to save the people inside a burning house. Hamas made these civilian sites legitimate military targets by militarizing them. That is the war crime.

Your outrage over the Nazi comparison is misplaced. No one is saying October 7th is quantitatively the same as the Holocaust. The point, which is 100% accurate, is about intent. The Nazi goal was the extermination of the Jewish people. Read the 1988 Hamas Charter. It quotes Islamic scripture to call for the killing of Jews. It's not about land; it's about annihilation. The genocidal intent is identical. The only difference is capability. To ignore this ideological foundation is to fundamentally misunderstand the conflict.

And your point on the 2005 disengagement is a stunning reversal of history. Israel didn't just remove settlers, It unilaterally and forcibly uprooted over 8,000 of its own citizens from their homes, farms, and synagogues in a painful gamble for peace. The idea was to give Gaza full autonomy. What did Israel get in return? A terror state. Instead of building a peaceful society, Hamas turned Gaza into a fortress and a launchpad for attacks. The fenced cage you described was built in response to the terror that poured out of Gaza the moment Israel left. Israel gave them the keys, and they immediately used them to build a war machine.

Finally, the Oslo Accords. You blame Israel for their failure while conveniently forgetting the Second Intifada. Between 2000 and 2005, Palestinian terror groups launched a campaign of suicide bombings that killed over 1,000 Israeli civilians in buses, pizzerias, and nightclubs. This wasn't resistance; it was mass murder of civilians, and it shattered the Israeli public's belief in a Palestinian partner for peace. Yasir Arafat walked away from the 2000 Camp David Summit, where he was offered a state with 97% of the West Bank and a capital in East Jerusalem. He chose to respond with a terror war instead.

So no, I'm not defending apartheid or starvation. I'm defending a democracy's right to exist and protect its citizens from a neighboring regime that is openly and proudly committed to its destruction. You're not defending the victims. You're defending a narrative that absolves a terrorist group of all agency and blames the victim of its aggression for having the audacity to fight back. That's not justice; it's a dangerous fantasy.

CaseSensitive:
Wow. Coming from a Nigerian, this level of bootlicking for colonial logic is beyond astounding. You're from a country that lived through the Biafra war where millions of civilians including children were starved as a war tactic and yet you're here justifying the same strategy against Palestinians. It would actually be very funny if you're from South East, I'm not.

You, of all people, should know what it means to be displaced, labelled, and gaslighted while the real oppressors play victim. If an apartment in a bombed-out block with no clean water, food, or freedom means someone “isn’t a refugee,” then by that logic, every Nigerian living in a slum should be called rich because they have a roof and a shop. Nonsense.

You clearly don’t understand history. Most Gazans are refugees because Israel kicked their families out in 1948 and locked them in a strip of land that it’s been bombing and blockading for 17 years. That’s not a conspiracy, it’s a documented fact, one the UN, historians, and even Israeli leaders have openly acknowledged.

And don’t bring up the fake “five peace offers”, all of them were offers to surrender, not to build a state. Maps cut into crumbs, no army, no borders, no Jerusalem, just an occupied bantustan. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? That’s how apartheid worked in South Africa too. You think Palestinians should’ve accepted that? You’d be the type to tell Mandela to just accept a “homeland” and stop causing trouble.

You say “annex Gaza and be done with it”? That’s the language of a colonizer. That’s saying: “If they won’t give up, wipe them out.” And you say it casually, while children are being buried under rubble. If Israel committed in Nigeria what it’s doing in Gaza, you’d be shouting to the heavens. But because it's Palestinians, you're fine with genocide, as long as it’s neat and final. You're cheering on the same machine that crushed your ancestors. History doesn't forget, even if you choose to forget or prefer to be very ignorant. I use to be ignorant too, carry on, your eye go soon clear.

Oh I like your username by the way, but the "Un" in “Unbiased” is really doing some heavy lifting.

A bombed out block? How many blocks in Gaza were bombed out before Oct 7? All the clashes that took place between Israel and Hamas from 2008 to 2021 where as a result of initial rocket fire from Gaza prompting a decisive response from Israel. If we are to go by your refugee claim then almost all the Jews living in Israel are refugees because most of the Jews in Israel were those kicked out of other Middle Eastern countries. Maybe you should do more research about the Jewish communities in the Middle East and how those communities disappeared after 1948. The real ethnic cleansing took place after 1948 but no one cared because it happened to the Jews.

As for the 5 peace deals you are trying to downplay, the second one (UN partition plan of 1947) had Jerusalem as an International city not owned by either Jews or Arabs. The 3rd, 4th and the most recent 5th offer that took place in 2008 included East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. Google is your friend here. The Palestinians have always wanted Israel out of the Middle East and that will never happen.

You also mentioned Biafra. I hope you know that the UN declared that the starvation of Biafran children was a direct consequence of war and not a genocide? Today the same starvation is called a genocide. Gross double standards and hypocrisy.

CaseSensitive:
Let me break this down clearly. Using Gaza’s geography and economy to argue it’s not under siege is like saying Lagos isn’t struggling because there are malls in Victoria Island while millions live in slums or can barely afford 3 square meal. Gaza may have some shops and hotels, but the overwhelming majority are starving, suffering power outages, and cut off from basic medical supplies. That “open-air prison” label is about control and denial of freedom, not absence of buildings.

Yes Palestinians have their own passport but Israel controls who goes in or comes out of Gaza, Palestinians have no control over their own airspace, sea access or borders. Electricity, water, medical supplies etc is heavily dependent on Israel's approval but that's not an open air prison according to your logic because they have hotels and 8 storey buildings?

Your migration stats don’t tell the whole story. Palestinians who have permits to enter Israel are a tiny minority handpicked under strict conditions. You can’t compare that to free, voluntary migration. The rest are stuck under siege, unable to leave for education, medical care, or work. The fact that some cross legally doesn’t negate the fact that millions cannot.

Yes, Hamas built tunnels, but those tunnels were in response to a decade-long blockade that strangled Gaza’s economy and people. When you cage millions with no hope, desperation fuels underground networks, whether for resistance or survival. Would you expect otherwise?
And the “rocket tests” or paragliding? These are military activities in a territory under constant attack and occupation. Civilians pay the price for these. That’s the real tragedy.

Your comparison to Nazis is beyond irresponsible. Nazis committed genocide on an industrial scale. What Israel is doing in Gaza is horrific and, according to many international experts, breaches international law but it’s not yet on the same level as the Holocaust. Using that analogy only trivializes historical suffering.

Also about prisoners: Yes, Israel holds thousands of Palestinians, many without trial or due process, including children. Hamas holding Israeli captives is tragic and must be resolved, but that justifies the wholesale destruction of Gaza or the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians because Israel wants to "rescue" 50 hostages? Very very justifiable.

And why Hamas isn't attacking Egypt? Erm maybe because Egypt isn't occupying Gaza, bombing it's homes or building illegal settlements on Palestinian land. (Common sense may actually not be common after all)

Hope you understand that?

There is no country that allows free unchecked entry into its borders. If Egypt doesn't let Palestinians in to avoid Hamas members from getting in, why should Israel let its guard down? Israel is the only country in the world that is criticised for having its military at its borders with a hostile neighbour. Even here in Nigeria, our soldiers are at the border with Benin Republic and even before you get to the border, you will pass through multiple checkpoints despite the fact that Benin Republic is not a hostile state to Nigeria. Why should that of Israel be different? Why should Israel allow people freely pass from Gaza to Israel and vice versa? Who does that? Can you cross from USA to Canada without proper documentation and not get arrested? If Israel is such a hostile neighbour to the Palestinians in Gaza, why don't they go through Egypt? This is one question you all run away from. The Egyptian government has tougher and stricter migration laws for Palestine but lets ignore that and focus on Israel. Such hypocrisy. You also failed to tell me where Israel was when Hamas was carrying out its tests and building tunnels when Israel, the great occupier, was supposed to stop them.

I find it irritating that you condemn the poor health care facilities in Gaza and at the time you justify the use of millions of aid money to build tunnels by Hamas instead of improving the healthcare sector. You justify the use of aid money to build tunnels and purchase drones from Iran. How do you justify Hamas destroying water pipes to build rockets and then complain of poor water supply in Gaza?

Not to forget, my comparison of Hamas to Nazi is 100% on point. The Nazis killed Jews on a mass scale which was exactly what Hamas planned to do on Oct 7 but failed because unlike the 1940s, the Jews can properly defend themselves now.

And please before the war started, there were no Jews in Gaza building houses as you have claimed. Israel has maintained the agreement of the Oslo accord which resulted in a Jew-free Gaza in 2005. The only Jewish civilians in Gaza currently are the captives held by Hamas.

CaseSensitive:
That argument sounds neat, doesn't it? until you realize it’s built on false morality. If Hamas releasing 52 captives was all it took to stop a military campaign that’s already killed nearly 60,000 people, flattened entire neighborhoods, and starved children, then Israel was never fighting Hamas. It was punishing a population.

Israel didn’t start bombing because of hostages. It started bombing within hours of Oct 7 and has continued nonstop even when hostages were released in previous deals. This isn’t about captives, it’s about crushing Gaza, displacing the population, and making sure a Palestinian state never becomes reality.

Yes, Hamas holds captives and that’s wrong. But Israel holds over 9,000 Palestinian detainees, many without trial, including children. You didn't know that did you? Israel's life is better and far superior than Palestinians life? What’s the moral high ground here? You can’t call for mercy from the side being bombed when the one dropping bombs refuses every ceasefire and uses starvation as a weapon.

Let’s not pretend exile and surrender would end this. If Hamas vanished tomorrow, Israel would still control Gaza’s borders, airspace, and food supply, like it did before this war. The suffering of Palestinians is not conditional on Hamas. It’s built into the occupation itself.

So no, the question isn’t why won’t Hamas surrender. The real question is: why does a so-called democracy need a siege, a war, and a mountain of bodies to justify denying another people their freedom?

Dive a little deeper in history my friend or stop bloating on propaganda.

If it was about a blockage, I wonder why Hamas didn't also attack Egypt. The Egyptian wall separating Gaza and Egypt is taller and larger than that of Israel. In 2021, official migration report showed that over 170 thousand Palestinians came to Israel for various reasons including jobs. That same year, Israel increased the number of visas it gives to the Palestinians leading to an increase in migration from Gaza to Israel from over 170k in 2021 to over 600k in 2022. So much for a blockage.

Where was Israel when Hamas started building a tunnel network longer than the New York metro line? Where was Israel when Hamas carried out frequent rocket tests into the Mediterranean sea (as confirmed by one of Al-Jazeera's senior journalist in an interview in Doha)? Where was Israel when Hamas was carrying out paragliding tests and shooting tests in Gaza and even documenting their progress with videos? These activities took place in the open and Israel, the official controller of the Palestinian lives could have stopped them. How can you describe Gaza, a city where it's so-called refugee camps are 8 storey buildings of which it's residents have shops where they sell goods? Please these videos are online for everyone to see. Lookup for Gaza before the war and tell me how a city with a Gold market, 5 star hotels and beach resorts is considered a glorified open air prison.

The Israeli government has made it clear on several occasions that this war could come to an end if Hamas surrenders and releases the captives. Israel (as well as no other country) will not accept a ceasefire that will see the enemy (Hamas) continue to exist. If the west did not allow the Nazis exist after WWII, so shall Hamas seize to exist after this war.

For the prisoners, almost 90% of the prisoners that have been released in previous ceasefire deals were properly tried in court and jailed for various offences most of which was murder. Israel has Palestinian prisoners most of whom have been tried and sentenced while Hamas has Israeli captives hope you understand that.

Small Iran, Isreal dey shake as dem detmy run to bunker despite Isreal receiving support from allies

You just downgraded the terrorists Israel is up against. Hezbollah and Houthis both have suicide drones that can travel 2000km, they have hundreds of thousands of rockets with extra midrange ballistic missiles. How many African countries have ballistic missiles? And also, you have to stop deceiving yourself about an Iran victory. Even a former IRGC officer described Israel's attack as occultic. Iran was duly humiliated and America was right on time to bury the enrichment sites underground.

CaseSensitive:
Honestly, it’s hard not to see the US and Israel walking out of the Doha talks as more of a political move than a breakdown caused solely by Hamas. The language from the US envoy calling Hamas "selfish" and not acting in good faith, feels more like a setup to shift blame than a genuine reflection of the negotiation dynamics. Especially since even Israeli officials admitted there was “no collapse” and Hamas said they were still keen to continue.

Let’s not forget the wider context. The US keeps invoking Oct 7, a horrific day, no doubt, but ignores the decades of occupation, blockade, and dispossession that created this powder keg in the first place. Macron’s statement about recognising Palestine may feel like a slap to some in Israel, but it’s more of a long-overdue correction than an insult. Recognition of Palestinian rights shouldn’t be held hostage by one violent episode, as terrible as it was.

And then there’s the so-called "Trump Gaza" vision which is a Dubai-style redevelopment that can only happen once Gaza is cleared of resistance and much of its population weakened or displaced. It’s not conspiracy theory; there are actual reports that some elites have eyes on Gaza’s coast for future projects. That won’t happen unless the current devastation continues. So yes, the US dragging its feet on a ceasefire might align with those long-term plans, whether it’s about political leverage, Iran containment, or future business opportunities.

Meanwhile, civilians are dying by the thousands, starving, and being shot trying to get food. The US keeps backing Israel under the pretext of fighting Hamas, but the human cost is staggering. At some point, you have to ask: is this still about hostages and security, or is something much larger and darker playing out?

If Israel and the US have bad plans for Gaza, how about Hamas release the captives and go on exile let the current bombardment end? How do you hold 52 captives and watch 2 million plus of your citizens suffer?

CaseSensitive:
What people don’t know? No. what YOU don’t know is that this war has never been about aid scams or corrupt leaders in Qatar. That’s just lazy propaganda to distract from the real agenda: wiping Gaza off the map and making a Palestinian state impossible. Israel isn’t “clearing buffer zones”, it’s bulldozing homes, bombing civilians, and starving people into submission. That’s not defense, it’s ethnic cleansing in broad daylight.

UNRWA exists because Palestinians were expelled and never allowed back. You can’t blame people for being refugees when the very state that displaced them refuses to let them return. That’s like burning someone’s house down and then mocking them for living in a tent.

And please spare us the recycled Arafat story, meanwhile, Netanyahu and his cronies are under corruption charges right now, and Israel is getting billions in US taxpayer money to flatten schools and hospitals. But sure, keep ranting about “aid money” while kids in Gaza are eating grass to survive.
This isn’t about Hamas getting rich, it’s about Israel using every excuse to drag this war out, crush Gaza completely, and make sure Palestine stays a dream. The only people getting rich off this war are weapons manufacturers and the politicians who profit endless bloodshed.
So yeah, that’s what people don’t know. Or maybe they do, and they’re just too comfortable ignoring it because agenda must agend - Western media been working overtime and people gobble it down their throat without historical facts.

A Palestinian who lives in Gaza is not a refugee. You can't have an apartment in an 8 storey building and a shop and still call yourself a refugee. The so-called refugees of Gaza are living better lives than ordinary citizens in many countries of the world. The Palestinians have been offered a 2 state solution on 5 different occasions and they were all rejected. They are their own problems. You can't kill 1,200 people in Israel, kidnap 255 and think you will have peace. Israel should proceed to annex the entire Gaza and be done with it if they don't surrender and release the remaining captives unconditionally.

ledaman:
Are you not ashamed of writing this?
If someone should send you parking from your father's house, will you be happy?

Send who packing? Who do we blame for the Arab leaders instructing their people to leave so they could crush Israel in 1948? The Arabs that didn't flee are Israeli citizens today. If Israel should allow the so-called Palestinian refugees return would the Jews also be allowed to return to the communities they were chased out from in Yemen, Egypt, Syria etc after the war in 1948? Palestinians will continue to suffer and hopes for a Palestinian state will continue to shrink as long they have continued to chose war over common sense. As for this conflict, the ball is in their court. They either release the captives and surrender or continue to face bombardment.

But they were quick to accept a ceasefire on Iran, as Dem see say Iran dey return the wotowoto fire for fire


When the strong chokes the strong, peace must come hell or high water...but when the strong are choking the weak, the strong can choose to abandon peace anytime, as is the case with Israel and Gaza

Israel has been the first to accept a ceasefire on many occasions. Israel was the first to accept a ceasefire against Hamas in 2008, 2012 etc. Israel was the first to accept a ceasefire against Hezbollah last year. Being the first to accept a ceasefire means nothing in this war. Even Hezbollah is yet to officially accept the ceasefire of last year but they have fully complied. Iran was humiliated in June and Israel did a pretty good job sending IRGC members to hell. Where is Iran's air defence system? Where is Iran's ballistic missiles factory? Where is Iran's IRGC headquarters? Where happened to the biggest gas plant in Iran? Where is Iran's air force? Where are Iranian nuclear scientists and IRGC generals? Where are 50% of Iran's ballistic missile launchers? All smoked.

People don't know that this war is a huge source of income for Hamas and UNWRA. No humanitarian crisis means no donations so Hamas prefers Palestinians to keep dying to keep the aid money flowing. Yasser Arafat died and left 4 billion dollars for his family without owning a single business. Where do you think all that money came from? Palestinians are what we call "forever refugees". The day they seize to be refugees, their aid money stops coming which means no money for their corrupt leaders to spend while living in Qatar and Turkey.

Israel has already cleared up 80% of Gaza for a so-called buffer zone and is now marching into Dier a bala which is one of the last few Gazan neighbourhoods that have not really felt any major impact in this war. Israel will soon crush whatever is left of Gaza, let's see how they get a Palestinian state when Israel controls 90% of Gaza and over 65% of the West Bank.

I bought pixel 3a xl in 2020, again the screen smashed in 2021, I went back to Samsung, bought galaxy note 9, it got stolen after one month.

I went back and repaired the pixel 3xl, used it from 2021 to 2023,the screen spoilt again,

I bought galaxy note 10 plus. From 2023 till now. That's what I'm making this post with.

Among all the Samsung, none had a single fault whatsoever, even on the screen.

I also have a pixel 3 that want to repair. Its screen is bad. How much did you spend to change the screen of your pixel and where did you change it?

They cannot even compete with any Chinese app if given entry. It’s not about being scared of competition but western propaganda.

Tesla is in China and still being flogged by BYD in China.
Apple is in same China and Huawei still flogs it.
Hp sells in China and Lenovo still flogs it.

Unban them first. WeChat will still maintain its market share and people will still patronise the US brands. The fact that I use Bolt does not mean I don't also use InDrive and Uber and same will apply in China with the Social media platforms. Most Americans use iMessage but that did not stop WhatsApp from giving it a run for its money. Imagine the US government completely bans WhatsApp and Telegram. That will give an unfair advantage to iMessage.

CoronaVirusPro:
It was much expected. It’s a norm for them to always want to acquire when they cannot compete. When you tell refuse, they tell you it’s a security threat.

Compete? China is actually the country that hates competition because I wonder how you expect American Social media platforms to compete against their Chinese counterparts when they have all been banned in China. It's like saying Dangote can't compete against British Cement companies in the UK when you know fully well that Dangote does not even exist in the UK to start with. If China loves competition, let them unban all US social media companies in China let the real competition begin. Let me see how WeChat will fare against WhatsApp or how TikTok china will fare against the US version. Telegram has been operating in the US without hiccups and Telegram was made in Russia before it was moved to the UAE. And guess what, Telegram is also banned in China despite the fact that it isn't a US company. You can't ban tech products from other countries and expect others to always accept yours.

[color=indigo] It's the tiktok version in use in the US that is billed for sale. Not the one you use here in Nigeria

Most of you are really uninformed. If Tiktok is banned in the US, the ban applies to all App Stores. You will no longer see Tiktok on Play Store or App store irrespective of your country of residence and you will need to download the US version of Tiktok.

why is a private airline operating a state government property

Because the state government can't manage an airline and has to hand it over to a competent private firm to manage the operations of the airline.

Whose cows are they protecting? Who provided them with those guns and ammunitions? Remember they are only herders looking after some people's cow.

Can you provide any evidence to backup your claim that southerns are responsible for providing the weapons the herders use in southern Nigeria? These are herders who have been seen by community people marching their cows from Benue towards communities in Enugu.

helinues:
Ridiculous right, wait and let me explain

You see those abattoirs in Southern part of Nigeria, the owners don't mostly buy cows everyday, they have cows in both North and South that the herders( Herdsmen) are looking after for them. They only give them money and expect whatever it takes to keep their cows for them.

If you see some herders all away from North settling down in any forest in southern part of Nigeria, they are mostly invited by the owners of the cow .

Why can't those who are into cow business from Southern part of Nigeria build ranches for their cows, that would avoid the unnecessary clashes of the herders and the farmers. Cows sometimes don't hear payan, not much the herders can do in controlling the cows during grazing

So this is your reason why Herdsmen move around with guns, kill people in mass numbers, burn down communities and rape women? Dude, Herdsmen have been moving with their cows all around Nigeria for years without issue. The problem started when they began to acquire guns and cutlasses which they now use to act with impunity, destroy people's farmlands and burn down their communities.

Clay- South East

Clay can be found all across the South East.

Clay is not a gemstone. Read before commenting. Hope this good enough to divide this country.

The mission has been accomplished already. Iran's nuclear program has been set back by several decades.

DomPerignon:
Yeah . No damage at all but the same Israeli govt quickly passed a law that criminalizes filming and uploading pictures of bombed sites.

Israel banned filming of government and sensitive sites that were partially damaged because posting such photos online gives the Iranian regime information on how to recalibrate the targets of their missiles. Several houses in Israel have been destroyed already and the photos are online. As for Iran, Israel has limited the amount of missiles they can launch at a time from 200 at the start of the conflict to about 30 as at today. The war continues and the end will tell but trust me, Iran will be humiliated.

DomPerignon:
same israelu govt that lied that they were intercepting 99.9% of Iranian missiles and drones but ran to Truno to cry that they are being turnef into Gaza ?

Lol. 950+ ballistic missiles and drones launched into Israel, about 50 impacts. Israel's air defence system is brilliant. No defence system in the world is 100% efficient. Trump job was to destroy underground nuclear enrichment facilities and Trump has done just that. The US is no longer directly needed in this conflict. Israel will finish what it started.

360degreess:
. Keep deceiving yourself.iran is too big for Israel to defeat.are you not watching news?

Lol. News? How many media houses are currently reporting from Iran? Damages in Iran are largely reported by the IDF themselves with videos from their jets so you don't get to see much of the damage in Iran on TV.

DomPerignon:
Why is Trump targeting Iranian nuclear sites ?

Why isn't he taking out the missile bases that Iran has been firing from at Israel ?

FYI, those nuclear sites are up to 300-800m deep in a granite mountain.

Those bunker bombs can't penetrate beyound 4-10 feet of concrete and whatever strikes they carried out yesterday only targeted entry and exit points.

These nuclear sites are constructed like regular coal mines in a circular descending manner making any explosion from bunker bombs ineffective in creating the neccessary barometric wave blasts that could cause further damage beyond the points of strike and even at that just a few feet below its 4-10ft penetrating point and not at the 800 meter depth were the nukes are stored

Its all smoke from Trump and I believe he ordered those strikes to prevent Israeli lunatics from launching nukes directly at Iran over fears that things will escalate badly with Pakistan, NK, China and Russia retaliating back on Israel.

The mission was to reign in the lunatics in Telaviv who want to go all Samson option.

As I write this now, Iranian drones and missiles are still landing on Israel and the Houthis have now torn up their truce agreement and have vowed to target every US warship in their waters and merchant navies of countries alligned to Israel.

You don't know more than the Israeli Government. If Israel says the facilities have been destroyed, then they have really been destroyed. Stop consoling yourself with your false write-up. As for the missile barrage on Israel this morning, Israeli jets have attacked western Iran, destroying 8 of the Launchers used to launch those missiles. 4 of them were yet to launch the missiles they were carrying.

360degreess:
.. Don't fuuul yourself, iran has already evacuated all important nuclear facilities. .Their uranium enrichment has already reached 60%, meaning it will take them just few weeks or months to have nuclear weapons and you think they will keep everything in the same place after all the US threat?...So US and Israel nightmare continues

Nice consolation. A nuclear weapon requires at least 90% enrichment of uranium to function. Even if Iran has evacuated its uranium as you have stated, the facilities required to enrich them from 60% to 90% have just be obliterated. Also Iran just responded with a new barrage of 27+ missiles into Israel and at the same time, Israeli jets just destroyed 8 of the launchers used to launch those missiles. Iran may not last beyond 2 weeks at rate Israel is depleting its missile launchers.

I'm currently checking that twitter handle and looks like the tweet has been deleted. Kindly provide the link to the tweet except it is the usual fake news that has been popping up from Iran.

Modified.

Just confirmed that news was legit.

ozo13:
hahaha. For US to have joined the war says a lot .Isreal left alone can't do the job.this is the simple truth.

Give Israel those heavy bombers and Israel would have completed the job since day 1. Israel needs American heavy bunker buster bombs and B-52 bomber aircrafts to cripple Iranian nuclear sights located deep underground.
