I assumed it was Israel from the first sentence. Those loonies need to be disarmed ASAP.

It's not just that they have nuclear weapons like missiles, they are mad enough to try smuggling one into another country and claiming it was some kind of terrorist attack and nothing to do with them. The only thing protecting anyone in the region is that Zionists don't want to contaminate Greater Israel.

Anyway, it looks like Iran is playing the grown up here. They will probably bring it up at the UN first, and then retaliate at the time of their choosing. Or maybe not, that would certainly scupper Israel's scheme to get the US involved.

Gaza's IVF embryos destroyed by Israeli strike

When an Israeli shell struck Gaza's largest fertility clinic in December, the explosion blasted the lids off five liquid nitrogen tanks stored in a corner of the embryology unit.

As the ultra-cold liquid evaporated, the temperature inside the tanks rose, destroying more than 4,000 embryos plus 1,000 more specimens of sperm and unfertilized eggs stored at Gaza City's Al Basma IVF centre.

The impact of that single explosion was far-reaching -- an example of the unseen toll Israel's six-and-a-half-month-old assault has had on the 2.3 million people of Gaza.

The embryos in those tanks were the last hope for hundreds of Palestinian couples facing infertility.

I expect US politicians who believe that an embryo is a person will ignore the fact that one bomb just murdered 5,000 of them.

All the more reason why the evil war perpetrated by Hamas needs to end - by HAmas surrendering unconditionally.

All this suffering, all down to a terrorist group you defend with every fibre of your being. It's almost as if you're Jeremy Corbyn.

ICC considering issuing war crimes arrest warrants for Netanyahu, others - report

The International Criminal Court may be considering issuing international arrest warrants in the relatively near future against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials for alleged war crimes, N12 reported Thursday night.

Around 125 countries are members of the ICC, including essentially all of Europe, and are bound by treaty law to honor the ICC’s arrest warrants, though there have been examples of countries protesting such warrants and refusing to honor them.

The Thursday report said Netanyahu met urgently with Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, and Foreign Minister Israel Katz to address the issue and to appeal to Western allies to assist.

In addition, the report said Netanyahu discussed the issue with top British and German officials who were visiting Israel this week.

I think it's very unlikely that Netanyahu and the others will ever be brought to justice, but even if they escape it will further isolate Israel and make it harder for them to continue with genocide.

They can come over here and try it if they wish. We've already established that we can do it over there, to their citizens, inside their borders, with impunity.

What have they done about that? /crickets

There are no rules and there are no innocents in warfare.
