Seems an Israeli airport was hit in Haifa by a missile

Maybe they're trying to hit that refinery? If so, then the Hezzies are serious; not firing off a few salvos of missiles into Israel and call it a day.

Anyone read this? How realistic is this scenario and where will china be in all this?

Unrealistic in my opinion. Russia won't use tactical nukes inside Ukraine. They'll reserve it for non-slavic lands.

From what I can see in twitter, the western world actually wants Israel to flatten Gaza.

Be careful about judging civilian sentiments solely based on comments as many of them are AI generated.

There's no doubt about that. The problem is that the message will become background noise where everyone will lose interest in it.

While I am sure there is tons of propaganda going around. These are the same people who have been treating Russians as some sort of 2nd tier humans and rampant paranoia against anything Chinese. Hard to believe sentiment isn’t in line with the propaganda.

I guess you don't live near any Jewish people in Canada? I see those ads all the time on bus shelters, though obviously that particular ad has wording to reflect the current situation. These bonds have been selling in Canada for many years.

Hamas using rockets to kill civilians is terrorism. Israel using airstrikes to kill civilians is counterterrorism.

Putting Hamas government on trial for terrorism would be correct and putting Israel government on trial for genocide would be also correct...

The ugly thing in the present situation are the civilians getting killed.

Saudi Official: Your majesty. Blinken is visiting. How shall we welcome him?

MBS: How did President Xi welcome him? Do the same thing.

As far as I'm concerned, both are just doing ineffectual bombing on eachother.

But that status quo is fairly good for Hamas. Damage to Palestinian civilians give Hamas more recruits. Unlike Israel, Hamas can't conscript people the normal way. Right now, Palestine only cares about freedom, while Israel needs to maintain a colonial extraction regime. Every strike on Israeli infrastructure contributes to foreigners being less willing to invest in a risky area, settlers fleeing home to their original country etc.

The lack of ability to mobilize is the biggest issue holding back the Palestinian side.
