It was clear from the start that this was coming. After all, there was nothing coincidental about the language that Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant used from the very beginning: Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen Terrifying language from Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: - "I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed...
Macgregor is convinced that we're going to experience a wave of terror attacks based on who's coming over our open borders. I have no information on that but assume he does.
The definition of the innocent is so damned fluid, isn’t it? It’s a shame really. The model of America as in its founding documents and how it once was taught has been hit with a multi dose of reality of woke speak. All of us are being forced to examine blatantly absurd ideas like covid vax salvation, preborn negation, childhood sex manipulation and mutilation, progressivism isn’t socialism or the EU isn’t another CCP party bureau and DAVOS isn’t Communism III. It alway come down to those policies I support weren’t suppose to hurt me until they do.
Tom Luongo's friend and podcast host, Crypto Rich, is Muslim. He had an Israeli on his podcast in the past to talk about Bitcoin. Rich had him back to talk about the Gaza incursion. It's hard to listen to, because Rafi Farber would not let go of his contention that the Amalekites have been trying to wipe the Israelites off the map for just as long. https://odysee.com/@cryptorich:e/israel-gaza-jew+muslim-talk:0
That's just a couple of degrees of separation from Mark.
I went looking for some serious and scholarly discussion about what contemporary Jews think of this Amalek story. Turns out --- surprise! --- it's pretty complicated. My eyes started to glaze over, but I think these are worth sharing:
If the war unfolding is not holy, it may turn out to be a war of simple human rights. As a matter of simple human rights, the Zionist State is a fundamentally discriminatory, apartheid state. Notwithstanding the implicit and explicit hypocrisy, the West has tolerated this...because. But the Muslim world may no longer be willing to permit an apartheid state to destroy the Palestinian people and permanently destablize the Middle East. And may now be in a position to unify substantially enough to confront the policies of the Zionist State.
Karl Denninger posits that freemen are fully responsible for the actions of their government. If Gaza's civilians are not held responsible for the attack on Israel, that can only be because they are not freemen.
Even “Palestinians” are made in God’s image. God must grieve when any of his handiwork perishes even justly. I think that means God takes no joy in the obliteration of the evil people who are responsible for committing atrocities on October 7.
It seems that a lot of previously unresolved and contained grievances and resentments are being unleashed upon the world all at once. I wonder how much of this is tied back to and a consequence of the Wu Hu flu. The release of the engineered bug set in motion events and a general psyche among people and leaders around the world that now has to play out to conclusion. I really think that the psychological aspects of how the manmade bug was dealt with really screwed up people’s state of mind. It triggered something. It was the spark to ignite the conflagration.
There are many in Gaza who are by definition innocent. Infants. Small children, brainwashed or not. Perhaps those non-combatants who are not allowed to flee with their lives. Certainly others that I can’t think of off of the top of my head. Israel is surrounded by huge populations that can and likely will be radicalized if the rest of Gaza is turned into Dresden. Turkey per MacGregor has 2 million reserves. Egypt is right next door. Iran and proxies have everything from infantry to city-block destroying conventional ballistic missiles. Plus cyber attacks that we are vulnerable to. And so on. How many jihadis will volunteer for the new Arab Legion? There are over a billion people in the Muslim world. 2% is a million man army. The dresdenization of Gaza and anywhere else there is fighting will be 24/7 on Jihadi TV everywhere. How about a Jihad after the unification of Islamic civilization? Pakistan has nukes. Do we know where they are or are they still moving them around to keep them hidden? Can we guarantee the security of our nukes at Incirlik? How close is Iran to having nukes? Perhaps Incirlik fissile material might come in handy for them. Will Israel use nukes to prevent large formations of enemy soldiers from overrunning its civilian population? Tactically or on cities? Will that stop the Jihad or just lead to bellum interruptum? Will Russia deter Israeli use of nukes? How about China? Pakistan has already offered them to Turkey. How many enemy soldiers have been infiltrated into the US across our open borders? What are they prepared to do? Will they coordinate with cyber war? How about a hypersonic strike on all deployed carriers, cyber war against our critical infrastructure, and simultaneous attacks with hundreds or thousands of enemy soldiers here at home? We would be so busy getting ourselves back together that Israel could very well be on its own. In which case: use nukes or have a million jihadis killing civilians? We are going to find out if we still have deterrence. If not your home town could look like Gaza.
That depends on how deeply Russia gets involved. Israel has the US at its back to bail it out--as happened in the past (also with Britain in the Falklands). US is stretched a bit thin re the kinds of things Israel needs, like 155mm.
This is happening with the full throated support of politicians on the left and right. Half the fleet is parked in the Mediterranean to make sure nobody interferes with it too
The US has been the sponsor and guarantor of the state of Israel from the very beginning. (How that was done is a fascinating story: https://againstourbetterjudgment.com )
Israel's actions will further drag down America's reputation not just in the Middle East, but worldwide.
Don't imagine we haven't collectively earned it. Just pray our insane foreign policy doesn't touch off a much bigger conflict: we're not ready for that.
If this is going to be long term he'll need to find a way to send all those reserves back to their jobs. And to calm the Islamic world re all those dead Palestinians.
Dual citizenship of any sort = big problem. It's a problem for us, and it's also often a problem for the second country. People living in the US voting back home with a skewed perception based on their years in the US.
And yet we still remember the stories told by our Irish grandparents and their hatred of the English ie hedgerow schools, candles in the window lighting the way to a secret forbidden Mass and of course starvation.
Ireland actually does a pretty good job at limiting the impact of the "dualies" vote. Nonresident dual citizens are prohibited from voting in Irish elections unless they own Irish real estate and, even then, only on referenda that directly affect that property.
Makes sense for the Irish situation. Here it's a bit different. We have US citizens who are dualies. They may or may not vote in their other country, but they vote here based on influencing US policies vis a vis their other country. Israel is one example--and a complicated one due to non-dual US Christian Zionists and their political influence. Poland is another example, in which many Poles in the US very much favor harder anti-Russian policies than Poles in Poland may favor--it's complicated, of course.
Armenia is a good example. By all accounts the current president is under the direction of the wealthy Armenian diaspora, not so responsive to actual residents of the country.

Mike Johnson, the new GOP Speaker of the House, tells Sean Hannity:
- "We can't allow Putin to prevail in Ukraine"
- US "boots on the ground" may be required to "stand with Israel"
- Supports Israel directly attacking Iran
- Russia, China, and Iran are "the new Axis of Evil"
I am sure that the majority of illegals invading our Country will not assimilate.

Stay strapped...

Religious Wars are the worst of all wars.
No compromises will be given, and martyrdom is encouraged.
What we call "atrocities" will be totally and morally righteous.
Scary times.

Are they freemen?
Look in the mirror, friend. Are you fully responsible for the actions of your government?
Prisoners in the biggest open air prison in the world.

The Muslims have escalation dominance when it comes to religious fanaticism. I wonder what God thinks about all this?
Speaking of escalation dominance who has it when it comes to firepower inclusive of their respective industrial capacity?
That depends on how deeply Russia gets involved. Israel has the US at its back to bail it out--as happened in the past (also with Britain in the Falklands). US is stretched a bit thin re the kinds of things Israel needs, like 155mm.
God only knows. But St. Peter will be busy.
I'm reluctant to share that. For my ears only.
Not in Americas name?

Nope, no calls for genocide here.
