No danger at all John, too powerful, too much global support including many Arab countries

Global support?
153 /10 in favour of an immediate ceasefire at the UN.

UN General Assembly votes by large majority for immediate humanitarian ceasefire during emergency session

The UN General Assembly met on Tuesday afternoon in Emergency Special Session on the decades long Israel-Palestine conflict and as the ongoing crisis in Gaza shows no signs of abating.

Not quite right, there were 23 abstentions of which the UK was one.

Massive influxs of people from one country to another usually results in conflict of some sort.
Massive influx of Europeans into Palestine caused war, expulsion of large numbers of Palestinians into other countries caused war.
So the cycle of violence just continues.

Doubt Israel give a stuff about the UN vote tbh ?

How did Isreal vote in the UN over this Russia
Ukraine caper ? Assuming there was a vote ?

I seem to recall Netin ha hoo going to Russia brown nosing poo tin ? After the invasion ??

23 countries that didn't take sides.
That leaves 153 countries that wanted a ceasefire.
10 countries voted against a ceasefire.
Hardly an overwhelming endorsement of Israels war in Gaza.

Your assumption of didn’t take sides may not be accurate tbh

Politics / diplomacy Is a dirty business

Are you trying to say the vote was not 153/10 ?

Massive influx of Europeans into Palestine caused war, expulsion of large numbers of Palestinians into other countries caused war.
So the cycle of violence just continues.

Again, not quite right, maybe a few hundred thousand Palestinians fled before the 1948 war knowing what was coming having rejected a two state solution, after the Arab countries invaded Israel in 1948 somewhere around 750,000 Palestinians were displaced, how many were expelled and how many just left nobody knows.
What we do know is the bulk of them went to Jordan where eventually in 1970 the PLO tried to take over Jordan.

The Palestinians tend not to be good house guests.

I imagine most of those who abstained would lean towards Israel politically ,but still ,153 voted for a cease-fire.
That's pretty emphatic.
America and Europe are losing support around the world .
The main beneficiaries of that are Russia and China.

153 or 1053, it doesn't really matter. Russia, China, USA and much of the West, those are the default lines, only half a dozen countries matter.
Anyway, relax lads, the votes non binding.

Maybe Trump will get back in again.
He will set the middle east on fire, that will sort the boys out from men.

They any worse than the uninvited guests who took their house over and locked them out.

A lot of Israelis are of Russian origin.
The links go back a long time.

I am still waiting for you to finish asking all the questions and then answering them on my behalf, with the help of Roy. I wont hold my breath.

Someone else learning to speak gantish.
Why would John and I answer his questions on your behalf?
