[Middle-East Politics] Israel conflict

[@Cicada3301AU]

There is a lot of American influence in the decision to pull back Israel's military ops in Gaza, however the domestic economy also plays a major part.
Before the conflict Israel's economy was stable, but with predicted base economic falls of ~2% or more, Israel will be looking to reign that in because they do not want domestic unrest to fester into something they lose control of.

Israel never went to war with Palestine.
It was never a military campaign against Palestine.
#FreePalestine is a left-wing MSM created campaign which never had anything to do with Israel's campaign in Gaza.

People see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear.
Perhaps my words have more relevance than any of you realize.
Interpret freely, but please pay attention.

This has me confused.
It appears to imply that Hamas leaders reside inside Israel.
First I've heard of it, which kinda makes me skeptical.
Unless of course I'm reading it wrong.

This is so terrible.

It's unfortunate this incident has resulted in many journalists and political commentators proving unable to balance their own bias.
Joe Hildebrand proves it's still possible, in this finely craft column.

Why does Greg Sheridan deliberately omit the part where Iran's attack on Israel was in response to Israel's attack on Iranian assets in Syria?
Seems to be an inconvenient truth most can't bring themselves to acknowledge.
I expected better from Sheridan though.

Israel has attacked Iran.

Some interesting (yet strange) observations I have made about this conflict between Israel and Hamas, in Gaza.
In Israel, why did it take so long for Israeli officials to start cleaning up the sites of the October 7 attacks?
Instead, it appeared to be using the sites as tourist attractions and MSM propaganda.
If it was so awful and traumatic for everyone wouldn't you think that officials would move in quickly to perform a swift cleanup?
In Gaza, how is it the MSM is reporting nightly on so much death, destruction and poverty, yet when talking to journalists the citizens in the region can seemingly whip out a top of the range iPhone Pro Max from their back pocket to show images and videos of said death and destruction?
If the citizens have nowhere to live, or if they do have somewhere to live it usually appears as nothing more than a mattress on the floor and a single table & chair, usually surrounded with blood splatters on the walls, allegedly due to poverty and no working economy, where are they all getting their brand new-looking iPhone Pro Max from?
Most citizens in first world countries and developed economies can't even afford high-end cell phones.
Just think about it all and question everything you're seeing, from ALL sides.
