What is the OSINT Bunker?
The OSINT Bunker is a defence and security-based podcast aimed at expanding people’s knowledge of the geopolitical landscape using open-source intelligence. It fills a niche that most people (most people reading this anyway) have for up-to-date, accurate and balanced information on ongoing conflicts.
What is OSINT? For those who don’t know, OSINT stands for open-source intelligence, which refers to any information gathered from public sources about an organisation, event, individual etc. In practice, that tends to mean information found on the internet, but technically any public information falls into the category of OSINT, whether it’s books or reports in a public library, articles in a newspaper or statements in a press release.
Episodes typically cover the UK and international defence matters.
I think the Gaza civilians have also had their 9/11 moment.
They’re in the ‘find out’ moment of the FAFO saying. Hamas is the elected majority of the PLC. This is what they wanted.
The political wing of Hamas certainly won a majority of seats in the 2006 Palestine Legislative Council election by vote of Palestinians in both the Gaza strip and the West Bank.
However I doubt the people were content for Hamas to abandon democracy and to fully take over Gaza in 2007 and effectively turn it into a one party state, where their ‘military’ wing could then hold sway and hugely ramp up their terrorist actions.
I think to compare the two things is wrong, just as I dispute those who compare the 3 1/2 million civilians we killed with the bombing offensive to the holocaust. By the time the bombing campaign really got under way victory was assured with the USA and SU both committed, even if the time it would take was still open. By choice of the Muslim and Arab worlds Israel has spent the last 74yrs in a situation comparable to the darkest days of 1940, or what they would have been if the Nazi aims were our extermination. Even with the… Read more »
good post Chris – intelligent commentary.
Absolutely so.
I might point out that here in England where the import of a radical militant agenda from an alien people who escaped from what they perceived as intolerance and economic hardship in the traditional homes are bringing that baggage with them to our cities and doing so with impunity with the fey Met police in particular not having a clue to the reality of the hate generated.
Thanks L, you raise valid points.
I think we no the terrorists, and their not Palestine! Pathetic post!
Your pathetic website doesn’t give the choice to edit a comment, it was Palestinian!!!! Wej scum!
Ah, the keen eye of Trev! It appears you’ve stumbled upon the hidden feature of our website that somehow, in an act of sheer mystery, eludes the eyes of the select few: the ability to edit comments. Fret not, for this feature is not the stuff of legends, but rather a simple click away. If it seems to play hide-and-seek with you specifically, I’m here to guide you through this digital labyrinth. Now, onto the meat of the matter, your colorful use of the word “pathetic.” It’s a strong word, Trev. It evokes the kind of raw emotion one might… Read more »
Notice the not so subtle use of the term….wej… in that individual’s attempt to mask his real intent of hate not dissimilar to those waving the so called Pal flag a nation which does not and has not ever existed just a middle eastern people who cannot live in peace.
If there there was no Israel they would be at each others throats as always.
Hello George. Off topic, but as I have your attention….. thank you for the excellent work you and your team output on this site. I enjoy the insights and posts from those in the know.
