The
U.S. and other nations backing Israel "should anticipate" militant
attacks on their soil and assets abroad as the Jewish state launches
deadly airstrikes on Gaza in response to a large-scale, surprise assault
at the weekend, experts warn.
On Tuesday, U.S. President Joe
Biden expressed support for Israel as he denounced Hamas for the "sheer
evil" of an attack that has reportedly killed 1,200 people in Israel
with dozens more taken hostage by the militants -- designated a terror
group by the U.S. and some other Western nations.
Israel's
retaliatory airstrikes on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip have killed at
least 950 people, including children, according to the health ministry
there, as buildings were reduced to rubble inside the densely-packed
enclave of 2 million people.
Benny Mamoto, a counterterrorism
expert and a former official with Indonesia's police counterterrorism
agency Densus88, said the unfolding violence could spread well beyond
the contested region.
"[Militant groups] will look at the
response of countries whom they think are pro-Israel. When there is a
statement of support, they will become a target," said Mamoto, adding
that such nations should be vigilant to any threat. "Their targets
[would] include symbols of a particular country like embassies as well
as its national interests like hotels, businesses, citizens and
government officials. ...This is what I discovered during my time
interrogating terrorist detainees."

I understand there was a bomb threat against a Scoot airline flying to Australia, and it had to return to base. This is going to happen to disrupt aviation going forward. Bet on it. The mental game is just beginning.
A threat may cause passengers to think twice about flying. A threat that turns into a real blast in midair will ground world travel for a long spell. Do we take threats as mere threats, and dismiss them as just threats because no bombs were found in most cases, or take a more serious view that it could turn out to be real? It just need one threat that turns real to complicate things.
Now, about somebody saying that we need to sympathise with the Palestinians, while there is a need to condemn Hamas. Sympathise over what the Israelis did to them over many years, seizing their land, expanding Israeli occupation and throwing Palestinians off their land? Do Palestinians have the right to fight for what they were forced to give up? In other words, sympathise with the Palestinians over their misfortune of being denied their rights, and yet supporting the Israelis for what they did and are doing to the Palestinians? What logic is that?
The Media is now fabricating atrocities committed by Hamas, based on hearsay with no proof being delivered. All the MSM is hyping up and concentrating on is the number of Israelis killed, ignoring the thousands of Palestinian innocents, women and children, who died with all the bombs raining down on them in those high rise buildings. You can be sure war crimes will be on their lips against Hamas, while Israel will come out clean as a whistle.
Hi Anon 10.00am
This Hoax was by a. Convicts Generation Aussie in Sinking Land.
The Papies had all these Scoundrols living on the slavery of the Sinkies who resided here killing a Malay Old Gentleman having their BBQ dinner.
Foolish of them to be colonised again with their itchy backsides and also their foul mouth of condemning the Hamas as Terrorists just to please their White Masters.
Also having their Daft Ministers getting all these defunct and useless Western so called Techos to be here.
