With the financial crisis back front and center in Europe, Israel picked a good day to remind markets that geopolitics remains as much of a gaping risk factor as ever, and after Palestinian militants on Tuesday launched what Reuters described as their heaviest mortar bomb barrage against Israel since the 2014 Gaza war, Israeli aircraft retaliated striking more than 30 Gaza camps according to AFP.
More than 25 projectiles were launched from the Gaza Strip and Israel's planes attacked three of the Iranian-backed armed group's facilities. There were no immediate reports of casualties from either side, with Israel claiming that the Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted the majority of the missiles, but one exploded in the yard of a kindergarten, damaging its walls, about an hour before it was scheduled to open for the day.
"The IDF is currently operating in the Gaza Strip. The explosions heard are related to this activity," the Israeli forces said in a statement released on Twitter. "A barrage" of at least 28 mortar shells was launched towards several locations in Israel, according to the IDF.
Comment: It looks like Israel is ready for another round of massacres and destruction in Gaza, just in time for the World Cup to take over the attention of the entire world. The same thing happened during the last World Cup with Israel's '
Operation Protective Edge', by the way.
In case you haven't watched it, this is the hell that Israel brings to the people of Gaza:
Comment: What kind of analysis has been done and what factors have been looked at to determine that the NHS is inherently racist? Making a determination of 'unconscious bias' with regard to race based on a generalized picture just doesn't fly. Subscribing unconscious racist intentions onto interviewers as well as the reasons for how some BAME interviewees perform through identity politics measures fails to see that there is more to people than their race, be it white, black, Asian, etc. This low-resolution perspective of 'white privilege' doesn't take into account the many variable and complex factors that can be involved. In any case, it was right for Marsh to step down. She's obviously so swept up with the current of 'progressive' hysteria that she is unfit for the job.
