10. 15 years versus only the time

since 10/7. Also do you mean to imply that the residents on the Israeli side of the border have control over the Israeli government? The numbers reported by the Western media are coming from sources like the UN agency assigned for that area etc. Why the discrepancy? I don't know. I doubt anybody does.

Also the history of Israeli intelligence planting explosives in communication devices is not new. All the way back to just after the horror in Munich and forward since then. Media has been acting like this is all brand new when it is not and it is just the scale which is unprecedented. It is also of note that the CIA could see the risks for civilian casualties but we're being lead to believe Israeli intelligence could not. Pretty doubtful. When called to the Security Council about the civilian deaths and casualties from the pager blasts the Israeli envoy said they will "do whatever it takes". So OK then that is the announcement to the world........ no limits to any conduct or action. While at the same time parties are claiming to not want a wider conflict.

US Deputy Envoy to the UN Robert Wood, apparently unaware of the concept of irony, decried Iran continuing to pour weapons and supplies into the conflict. Lady Irony was seen outside the UN weeping and lamenting "Does nobody wish to acknowledge I'm still here?" She was last seen being beaten and handcuffed by authorities and her whereabouts is unknown at this time but her close friends Lady Principle and Lady Consistency have gone on record that they are sticking by their long time friend and they note that the 3 Ladies together have a long history of having the last word over fools.
