Israel starts a war with Iran by bombing their nuclear power plants in breach of international law. Trump does the same. These are illegal acts of aggression. Iran was at the negotiating table. Israel sabotaged the talks. Netanyahu does not want peace. The genocide in Gaza continues. What a world.

Five ambulances, a fire truck and a UN vehicle were struck one by one.
The bodies of the first responders were then ditched in a mass grave.
A war crime. Without anything close to the appropriate level of global outrage.

So Israel has finally decided to agree but not yet to stop murdering innocent children and Gaza citizens. BBC allows genocide denier to repeat the same lies for a lengthy interview/rant unchallenged. Absolutely disgraceful. Arrests to follow I hope. “Ceasefire” applies to a war. Not Genocide.

"Yoav Gallant ... has admitted in private that the IDF no longer has a military purpose in Gaza."
As I've mentioned a few times now, in that context, I don't see how the law of proportionality can apply to the kinds of strikes Israel is conducting now, if it ever did.
