You wait for one picture of a bus stop to come along and then three come along at the same time.

Hopefully there won’t be much left of Gaza in a few weeks time.

I think you'll find the national dog of Israel is the Disputed Border Terrier.

Difficult to understand the current plight of the Palestinians without this background.

 

There are estimated to be between 183,255 to 250,000 Palestinians residing in Lebanon. Most Palestinians in Lebanon have never been afforded entitlement under the law to Lebanese citizenship and therefore remain stateless. This includes many who arrived from what is now Israel as early as 1948 during the Arab-Israeli war, and their descendants. Lebanon, neither a signatory to the 1954 and 1961 stateless conventions, nor the 1951 Refugee Convention, treats even its long-standing Palestinian residents as refugees and/or foreigners, despite them lacking the nationality of another country.

 

Approximately 45% of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon reside in 12 UNRWA-leased refugee camps, where living conditions are generally poor and overcrowded. Governance and security within the camps is enforced by ‘popular committees’ and ‘security committees’ belonging to Palestinian groups and factions, including the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Hamas, and Fatah. Although most camps are generally stable, violent clashes have occurred in 2022 and 2023, particularly in Ein el-Hilweh, the largest of the camps (estimated to house upwards of 63,000 registered refugees) and in the Mieh Mieh camp. While the camps are generally outside the control or reach of the Lebanese authorities, movement into and out of some of the camps, particularly those in southern Lebanon, is regulated by them. Palestinian refugees not residing in the designated camps, reside instead either in adjacent gatherings or neighbourhoods across national territories.

 

 

 24 May 2004, the Immigration Appeal Tribunal considered whether poor living conditions in the refugee camps in Lebanon amounted to a breach of Article 3 of the ECHR and if there was a real risk of persecution under the Refugee Convention. The Tribunal summarised the country evidence as described by UNRWA:

‘… Palestinian refugees in Lebanon… do not have social and civil rights and have a very limited access to the government’s public health or educational facilities, and no access to public or social services. The majority rely entirely on UNRWA as the sole provider of education, health and relief and social services. They are considered as foreigners and prohibited by law from working in some seventy-two trades and professions which has led to high levels of unemployment among the refugee population.

Iran will have to do something soon to ensure its standing in the region is maintained, and then that leads to utter fucking chaos.

 

Isreal can go fuck itself, they know what they’re doing and what the consequences are.

 

I suspect Iran are hoping the US can curb them, but I can't see that happening with the current Israeli government.

"Please film my child," he says. "She doesn't know what weapons are. She doesn't know how to fight. She was playing at home when the bombing started. They [Israel] wanted to terrorise the people and get them to flee." Israel says its strikes are targeting Hezbollah sites, including weapons stores and ammunition dumps. Abdallah begs to differ. "We have nothing to do with weapons. I am not involved with the resistance [Hezbollah]. But now I wish I was so that I could protect my children," he tells us.

It looks like the right wing cunts in the cabinet are pushing further and further against deescalation.

 

Netanyahu’s poll numbers have actually gone up, so it’s proving ‘popular’ for some in Israel so why stop?

 

Cunts to a man.
