Meanwhile on the International front....

Point taken. I just think that short of a major shooting war between Iran and everyone they're screwing with, Iran/Pakistan has no real connection to Palestine.

Iran is a regional troublemaker? That one I can get behind no problem.

 

"Iran is a regional troublemaker." This is an absolute truth, they are ruled by backward old theocrats. That's a solid point to make. I recall reading that Iran discouraged the October attack. I suspect that if the really wanted to, they could have stopped Hamas.

All I'm saying is that I don't think that Iran and Pakistan are going to do more than some low intensity attacks. As above, unless all the countries they are meddling in turn on Iran at once, I don't think that what happens between the Pakistanis and Iran is going to have much effect on Israel-Palestine. Could Iran-Pakistan spark a larger regional conflict? That could happen any day anywhere in the region.

 

I don't necessarily see Iran having to divert its resources away from the Middle East and toward a new front in Pakistan as a bad thing.

 

Iran is also selling weapons, mostly drones and some missiles, to Russia.

 

Piss off. Were the People’s front of Palestine.

Saudi Arabia's moves toward closer relations with Israel triggered Hamas' 10/7 attack. Considering Israel's response, that attack was successful.
From a recent Saudi poll:
Nor do most believe that Hamas’s attack on October 7 targeted Israeli civilians—the overwhelming majority of Saudis (95%) responded that Hamas did not actually kill civilians when asked about whether they believed the Hamas killing of civilians was against Islam. This view is widespread across the eight countries polled by TWI, and similar results appear in a recently released poll of Palestinians from PSR. There, the overwhelming majority reported that they had not seen any videos of Hamas members committing atrocities, and only 10% of Palestinians (17% of Gazans and 5% of West Bankers) stated that they believed that Hamas committed war crimes in the current war, in comparison to 95% who say the same about Israel.

Meanwhile, Saudia's official position on Hamas and the Gaza war is weak. The fact is, MBS is wary about taking a position that much of his Wahhabi kingdom would object to. It's much more of a powderkeg than people would like to admit. The last thing the crown prince wants is a repeat of the siege of Mecca in the '70s -- and in much of the world, 50 years is an eyeblink.
