k up.Does mean Bibi will have to be very careful how he gets places in the future, even the US.
All it would take is for someone to have a medical emergency, real or fake, and the plane will divert to the nearest airport.

While Bibi is Head of State, he's certainly entitled to such protection. E.g. addressing the UN in New York or such.

Whistle blowers claim that operations are being performed without anaesthetic as 'an act of revenge' Most moral army in the world unnecessarily keeping patients in nappies with all four limbs cuffed. Reported by employees of most moral army in the world.
Absolutely incredible
The so called ‘democracy’ acting democratic again…
The democracy who voted for a head of state who is now potentially going to be arrested for war crimes …

And so is Putin, but Putin will likely remain head of state until his death - Bibi, not so certain - unless his heart does everyone a favour in the near future
Difference is Putin isn't a defender and perceived as an aggressor whereas Israel is fighting a defensive war. Yes, Israel has made mistakes since 1967 by trying to make peace (land for peace, maritime borders for peace, peace for peace, money for peace ..with Arabs who don't want peace and perceive as a signal to attack) but I guess they won't hand back their own territory again.People very conveniently forget that Israel is an occupying force as determined by legal and international standards so the false statement of its just defending itself when in fact they are an illegal occupying force for the last 75 years is just the morally corrupt trying to rewrite history.

Is this a parody?A defensive war?
I suspect you might need to look up the meaning of both defensive and war.
Israel is taking steps (revenge?) against both an organisation and a people and it sure looks too one-sided to be considered a 'war'.
Campaign, definitely.
War would imply Hamas and the Palestinian people were actively doing what they could to attack Israel and had (at least) similar capabilities. Surely?

Palestinian people voted in Hamas/terrorists and now they reap the rewards of their decision. Fair or not, these are the same consequences as any other country would face if they attacked another country. They always have the option to surrender unconditionally. One-sided is irrelevant. For example Japan lost over half a million civilians in the final 6 months of WW2 - should the US have stopped because it was one-sided? No of course not.Another cat amongst the pigeons

Two things jumped out for me from the article:
_ Spain PM says "Hamas is not the Palastinain people"
- Bassem Naim, a senior Hamas figure, said the "brave resistance" of the Palestinian people was behind the move.
So, where are the Palastinain people on this all? Frankly I don't see how anyone can tell, or even ask them.
What they can do of course is put words in their mouth (and I'm talking about both sides here)

There's a term - a-symettric warfare. A defensive war?

It's nonsense to assume wars have to be equal, otherwise bibi and the Hamas chap would just face each other at 12 paces with pistols.
Nations spend a great deal to ensure wars are as unequal as possible, and sometimes you get unlikely results - was there not a story about David and some big chap? And didn't 300 Greeks hold off a million Persians giving time for reinforcements to arrive?
Anyway, the situation in Gaza / Israel is obviously a war, and has been since 1948 ( of varying degrees)
It doesn't excuse poor treatment of course, or acts of revenge on prisoners
(without getting drawn into equalence of Hamas's treatment of prisoners)
Nope no war crimes going on here ….IDF the most moral army in the world…
