Comment: Interesting new angle by Knightly.

Yesterday, Israel conducted strikes on the Qatari capital city of Doha,
allegedly targeting (and supposedly killing) key members of the Hamas
leadership.
An unprovoked attack in direct violation of another nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Textbook breaking of international law.
This is not unusual. Israel's contempt for international law is nothing new and is far from under-reported.
The wrinkle is the response from world leaders, which has been somewhat chillier than you'd expect.
The attacks were roundly criticised by puppets the world over - Canada's Mark Carney, Britain's Keir Starmer, Australia's Albanese, France's Macron and more.
In her State of the Union address, EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen warned the EU should "consider our bilateral support" for Israel.
Even Donald Trump's White House distanced themselves from the plan, which is as close to a full repudiation as you'll get from that quarter.
Earlier in the week, the Spanish government announced they were closing their airspace and naval ports to any planes or boats carrying weapons to Israel.
Expressing anti-Israel sentiment is becoming more and more common on a political stage where support for Palestine was once purely the domain of Cuba, Venezuela and other designated "enemies" of The West.
Israel is responding by doubling down, unleashing further strikes - this time on Yemen - earlier today.
