One think that I hadn’t appreciated was the fact that the recently passed hanging law in Israel will cover children at least as young as 12.

And they celebrated with champagne!? Utter monsters.

I agree.

Iran hung a 16yr old boy this week

Yes I read that. I think puberty signals when a child is responsible for their actions in Islamic law. Which of course means little girls can be put to death much earlier than boys.

What a world we live in.

Mapping not napping 🤦‍♀️

It's disgusting. Bombing children. Shameful.

Still if you are happy chatting about drones, crack on.

Drones are used for surveillance, napping etc. not just for bombs

*Allira*you are correct, the drones currently operated by the U.K. are far superior.

The current UK long range drone is the MQ9B Protector similar and larger than the Reaper with an endurance of 40 hours.
Many other smaller drones for short range operation by RAF, Navy and Army.

So who is paying him I wonder? 🤔
Look him up, he is an author too.
He investigated documented the type, route of these spy planes that the UK sends over Isreal and now Lebanon.

The Israelis are bombing to attempt to weaken the Hezbolla cells in Lebanon who are dedicated to eliminating them. The terrorist organization's are financed by Iran. The Lebanese government have allowed the terrorists to prosper.
Peace will only be possible through taking and negotiation but the Islamist terrorists refuse to do that.

weaken cells?

It's laughable. The cells are within the very fabric of society.

Not in some special " cell/terrorist " building or family.

I suspect that Netanyahu will be tempted to continue bombing in order to provoke Iran into retaliation. Nothing pleases Netanyahu more than perpetual warfare.

I think that the more likely scenario is that he gets voted out in this years election. The figures are not looking good for his party. The next day he will be in court.

It has been stated that Netanyahu is due in court, again, on Monday.
But, hey, if the country is still at war...?

'Keir Starmer sent a MQ-9 Reaper drone over Lebanon for 13 hours yesterday (8 April)

Departing from RAF Akrotiri, it flew in circles near Baalbek. At same time, Israeli strikes killed 18 people in area

Starmer flew intel flights over Gaza for Israel. Is this part of same arrangement?' - Matt Kennard, independent journalist

I listen to independent journalists from sources such as Double Down News etc

How defensive is Starmers stance actually.
BBC and MSM is know to show blatant bias to one side in its coverage of middle east war.

As far as I am aware, the UK does not have Reaper MQ9 drones in operation any more.

Many were enthusiastic about the UK joining the war. Many on this site.

And people believe propaganda. All that twaddle about some poor airman wandering about in Iran.

Straightforward answer to the original question … Netanyahu is due to appear in court on Monday.

If the war ends now, he appears in court … if the fighting continues, he doesn’t.

He won’t stop killing people … to keep himself out of court😡

One third of Lebanese are Christian, of course, so seem unlikely supporters of Hezbollah.

That's true WW I suppose it's their way of legalising murder.

Netanyahu and some in his government are criminals being supported by another criminal in the US.
Peace will never last long in the middle east while Israel wants more than a fair share. They were handed the lion's share in the beginning but it wasn't enough and angered the people they took the land from.

I reckon that's about right.

I agree with everything that Cossy has said about Starmer and the state of the world at the moment.
Also I agree with Smileless when she describes much of the behaviour of Israel in the past and now. Natanyahu is a corrupt gangster who doesn’t want peace.
