Qatar and Oman were mutually hostile? that's a very unique interpretation of Middle Eastern politics

This is an attack on Turkish territory regardless if there's a US base, and Iranian missiles usually miss the bases anyway. Turkey is led by a strongman leader and these are very sensitive to acts of public humiliation. So that's

These were chemical weapons found in Iraq, the reason the new york times was interested in the story was the fact that ISIS has somehow developed chemical weapons using Iraq's existing infrastructure. This means there were active facil

Hardly, after attacking all their friends in the region, which would leave them even more isolated after the war, I would not attribute careful strategic planning either

Those were mostly UAVs, you can see the abysmal aiming ability in Israel, where they have largely stopped aiming at facilities and moved to cluster warheads to maximize civilian hit ratio in large metropolis

I have to admit that I am having difficulty tracking your logic. However, in this somewhat unrelated post, it seems you are referring to the semantic shift that has occurred in the word "genocide", to mean "an act of war I do

I could discuss the issues with this poll which I cannot find anywhere, (Why are Arabs not polled? last time I checked they were people too, hacking a result much?) But I will ask you this, how is that related in any way to what I said or t

There was a game using this mechanic called RealLives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Lives_(video_game) You had a random chance at being born anywhere in the world weighted by population. A big lesson from the game

My point here is that saying it was "the plan from the start" like GPP does, ignores the fact the the zionist movement had became more militaristic as a defensive measure to palestinian ethnic cleansings, which is quite clear from

In a publication like Al Jazeera that is managed by an authoritarian state, nothing gets published by accident. You also have to willfully ignore what's going on to not notice the relation to Iran attacking Qatar for two weeks

I do, however forgive me as I am interested in the conflict as me and my extended family are currently being bombed. That on contrast with many in this site that are obsessed with the conflict with little knowledge apart from a sports-like

Poetic justice how Qatar's propaganda wire of Al Jazeera switches so easily from anti-Israel to pro-Israel. All it took is two weeks of reality of what happens when you support the most extreme elements in the area, it all comes back h

And that's the difference between 1937 and the 1920s. In between the Palestinians had committed the 1929 and 1936 massacres which included ethnic cleansing of Jewish communities which predated Arab presence, such as the Jews of Gaza. I

The Israeli police can contact Google, Meta, etc and get the user details. The question is whether they deem this case important enough, this is a journalist so there is a higher chance but I don't think this specific journalist carry

Azerbaijan is not Afghanistan

Actually Iran denied it attacked Azerbaijan, even though countries around the region know due to radar data. Also an Iranian cell was caught planning an attack on an oil pipeline in Azerbaijan. Previously two years ago Iran had attacked Pak

Actually no, Iran's missiles aren't that accurate and if you count those that disintegrate on the way, hit open areas or are intercepted you get very few missiles that are able to hit from the very few that are launched. This can

by breppp 7mo ago
As far as I can tell what you see today in your link is a fire caused by the pieces that fall after a successful interception, these are not as dangerous as an actual missile, as they lack a warhead, especially for Israelis that are indoors
