IDF raining down hell big time on Gaza tonight. Going to be a bunch more dead on all sides before this latest war plays out.
In general I am against banning ignorant posters, in the same way as using the ignore function.
Everyone should be able to see and laugh at how totally fucking ignorant and stupid some posters are.
Laughing at idiots is one of the few perverse functions of this ailing forum!
Here is one definition:
Ignorance:
"lack of knowledge, understanding, or information about something"

SECOND FRONT?
WILL IRAN PULL THE TRIGGER?
Hezbollah chief Nasrallah to break silence on Israel-Gaza war - BBC News
By Hugo Bachega
BBC Middle East correspondent, southern Lebanon
Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese Shia Islamist group Hezbollah, is expected to address his followers on Friday, his first public comments since the Israel-Hamas war broke out.
The speech is likely to indicate the group's next moves, as its fighters and the Israeli army are engaged in intense attacks on the Lebanon-Israel border.
This has raised fears the area could become another front in the conflict.
So far, however, the violence has largely been contained.
Since Hamas carried out the 7 October attacks on Israel, killing more than 1,400 people, Lebanon has been on edge, closely watching Hezbollah.
The group has intensified its attacks on Israel, which is retaliating.
But both sides have apparently taken steps to avoid a dangerous escalation, and most strikes have been limited to the border area.
This, however, could change.
Israel is pushing ahead with its ground invasion of Gaza, with the goal of eliminating Hamas, while the number of Palestinians killed in the territory has passed 9,000, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
Hamas, meanwhile, has repeatedly urged its allies to join the fight, and many wonder whether Hezbollah will answer those calls.
Hezbollah - which, like Hamas, is considered a terrorist organisation by the UK, the US and others - is the largest political and military force in Lebanon. This means the group's decisions reverberate far beyond its support base, and many here and elsewhere are anxiously waiting for Nasrallah's speech - followers and foes.
Nasrallah's whereabouts, as ever, remain a mystery.
His address will be broadcast in public screenings organised by the group across the country, and is being framed by Hezbollah as a significant moment.
They took the unusual step of announcing it five days in advance and, earlier this week, released dramatic short videos featuring Nasrallah, fuelling the expectation of a major announcement.
Nasrallah's guessing game
Many in Lebanon still remember the devastating month-long war Hezbollah fought against Israel in 2006, and worry that the group may drag the country into another conflict.
Hezbollah has a vast arsenal of weapons that includes precision-guided missiles that can strike deep into Israeli territory, and tens of thousands of well-trained, battle-hardened fighters.
The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has promised a response of "unimaginable" magnitude if Hezbollah opens a second front in the conflict.
And the US, which reportedly urged Israel to not launch a large-scale attack on the group, has sent two aircraft carriers to the eastern Mediterranean to prevent the spread of the conflict.
A full-scale war would be disastrous for Lebanon, and there is little public support for it outside Hezbollah's followers.

The country is suffering from years of economic crisis, and political impasse has left it without a properly functioning government.
Another scenario is an increase of the group's attacks, signalling a response to Hamas's calls, while keeping the fighting limited to northern Israel.
The Biden administration is also, in public and through back-channels, warning Iran against escalating the situation. Iran supports the so-called Axis of Resistance, an alliance that includes Hezbollah - its most important force - as well as militias in Iraq, Syria's President Bashar al-Assad, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas.
It is not clear how much direct influence Tehran has over the groups, but it is unlikely that they take any major decisions without Iran's blessing.
On Sunday, the Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi, said Israel's "crimes had crossed the red lines, which may force everyone to take action". Washington, he added, "asks us to not do anything, but they keep giving widespread support to Israel".
A source close to Hezbollah told me, on condition of anonymity, last week, that Nasrallah - who is known for his angry anti-Israeli and anti-American speeches - was closely monitoring the situation and remained in constant contact with the group's military leadership, despite his public silence.
"Hezbollah is following all details," the source said. "They make calculations all the time."

The Western left's "moral" compass summed up:
It’s truly atrocious to see just how biased the pro - Jewish right wing press is in the UK. Most stories are focused on the Israel army butchers’ campaign to kill everyone in the Gaza city, reports of valiant Israeli armoured attacks on civilian homes, stories of how foreigners are exiting the strip via Egypt, how Jews are frightened in their kibbutzim and are evacuating to nearby towns, how Jews in London feel unsafe, Americans still left in Gaza ( who gives a flying fuck ) how the filthy Arabs are stirring up conflict because they are pro Palestinian ( fancy that ), a wonderful Daily Mail article report sourced from a clearly deranged, lying, rabid, bearded Yid settler who claims an eye witness account of Hamas roasting a child in an oven ( presumably in breach of kosher regimes ), and of course Benny the Fraud’s satisfaction over how well the operation to destroy Gaza and kill its inhabitants is going.
And scarcely a passing reference to: the 9000 slaughtered Palestinians including 3800 children killed by the murderous IDF, the sheer horror of the remaining survivors in North Gaza, over 600,000 of them, hiding in terror inside half destroyed buildings without food, water, sanitation and health care. That’s the Telegraph, the Times, the Express, the Daily Mail, all stinking Jew arse licking, Zionist cock sucking mother fucking English shitehawks.
Fuck ‘em, I’m with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free! And if it’s their last thought as the Israeli army tries to slaughter them all, every man, woman and child in the Strip, they’ll still sing it because they are a brave, proud people whose anger against the burning injustice of Jewish oppression will ensure the light of hope shines bright in their spirit as they fight for freedom.
Two Scumbag war criminals![]()

Hezbollah chief: US responsible for Israel's aggression in Gaza
Friday, 03 November 2023 1:40 PM [ Last Update: Friday, 03 November 2023 1:58 PM ]
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has said that the United States is responsible for the aggression the Israeli regime is perpetrating against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
He also said that Operation Al-Aqsa Storm was carried out entirely by Palestinian resistance movements.
“The great Al-Aqsa Storm Operation was decided and implemented 100 percent Palestinian,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech on Friday, in his first address since the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip began on October 7.
“Absolute secrecy is what ensured the success of the Al-Aqsa Storm operation on October 7,” added the chief of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement.
“We were not bothered by Hamas’s concealment of the October 7 attack plan,” he stated.
“Conditions in Palestine in recent years have been extremely harsh, especially with this extremist, foolish, stupid, and savage [Israeli] regime,” he said.
"The Operation Al-Aqsa Storm led to an earthquake in [Israel]," he said.
"It has strategic and existential repercussions and will leave its effects on the present and future of [Israel]," he stated.
Nasrallah offered “condolences and congratulations” to the families of those killed in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
“This is a seamless battle at the human, ethical and religious levels. It’s the most evident, the most honest and the most noble,” he stated.
“Our true strength lies in our firm belief, unshaken conviction, our devotion and commitment to the cause,” the Hezbollah chief said.
Nasrallah began the speech by praising “the fallen martyrs” of Hezbollah and the other resistance groups fighting Israel, as well as the civilians killed.
“I start by offering my deepest condolences to the families of the fallen here in Lebanon, and at the same we congratulate you as your loved ones have won the honor of martyrdom,” he stated.
“We must salute the… strong and brave Iraqi and Yemeni hands who are now involved in this holy war,” he noted.
“There had to be a major event that would shake the usurping entity and its supporters in Washington and London and this is when the blessed operation of the October 7 took place.”
