There are few to no innocents in this saga. You are equally as adamant in your position as you have been since shortly after the Shifa rocket in the parking lot episode which maybe killed two to five people but Hamas claimed 500. Hard to say who is more correct. Perhaps you should consider how you would conduct a war (and that is what it is) with 400 km of tunnels and every apartment building having a room on every floor devoted to weapons storage of AK-47s, RPGs, ammuntion with a large number of combatants who consider the only good non-muslim to be a dead non-muslim. How would you do that?
Back on Jan 4 with your Battle of the Billionaires posting, after research your anti semitic angle at Harvard proved to be far more interesting than the posting. I discovered there are certain Jews that will reject anything positive about Jewish culture or any Jewish accomplishment. Israel considers Mr. Blumenthal in that category. I checked a few of Megatron Ron's tweets and all I could surmise is he falls in that category (like Mr. Wauck I never found any background) and his subsequent tweets quoted in this and other postings confirm that judgement. Consequently there can be tremendous bias (dare I say misinformation) in anything Megatron Ron says regarding Israel.
Every nation acts in their own best interests as they perceive them. Biden is acting in his own best interests (already noted by commenters) caused by election maneuvering and splits in the Democratic Party. Bibi is acting in the best interests for his nation. Israel and his citizens will not be safe for any good period of time until all the tunnels (400 km worth) are destroyed and/or sealed and a great share of the Hamas command and soldiers are in prison or dead. Bibi has said the rest of the year will be devoted to Rafah and mopping up else where. Much remains to be done.
Given the UN Security Council vote to condemn Israel with the US abstaining on Monday Oct 25, it would seem obvious that Megatron's theory of who owns whom and who is deceiving whom is not accurate. Regarding Megatron's comment that the IDF is broken and demoralized in Gaza is especially stupid given that in the last 10 days, IDF has conducted operations against two hospitals in Khan Younis and a second operation revisiting the Shifa hospital in central Gaza capturing 1000 palestinians in each place (Khan Younis and Shifa) most of which have been identified as known Hamas terrorists going back 10 years or more as well as killing several hundred terrorists who chose to fight.
As far as the bluff in Lebanon, I don't believe Israel wants to open another front until all the business in Gaza is done. Israel is doing its best to degrade supplies and Hezbollah command structure in Lebanon in the meantime. IDF is training divisions in the dead sea area for upcoming Lebanon operations so they will be ready. Sure it might be somewhat of a bluff, but Bibi hasn't so much as blinked so far.
Israel defines anti Semitism as criticism of Israel. In this country, it about harassment of Jews in general vis a vis Ivy league schools and the failure to speak out against it. Also issues regarding Tik Tok are far more complicated than Israel's interest in it, which are not mentioned here. Sorry this comment is so slow arriving but better late than never.
Biden has the choice of pissing off the muslims in Michigan whom he and Obama allowed to flood into the country, or to piss of AIPAC. Either way, he loses. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. At least Trump will only have to grovel to one of these groups.
Yesterday’s House vote to either force the sale of Tik Tok or ban it entirely from the US is the most dangerous and anti-American act since the passage of the PATRIOT Act. The law will give the US president SOLE AUTHORITY to determine which businesses can and cannot operate in the United States. It is a full government takeover of our basic liberties.
You may have seen this, but Thomas Massie made a solid Trojan Horse case in his Twitter and House Floor observations yesterday. Probably the only guy whose team read the Bill in full, he notes its broader applicability, beyond the CCP-controlled app ostensibly targeted here, to any websites or online presences deemed "subject to the direction or control of a foreign person of entity." Since every negative report these days about the Ukraine effort is categorically (and, of course, collusively) described by our government and media as Russian-directed misinformation, what chance to even the most accurate SitReps stand?

And perhaps you should consider the justice of what Jews--enabled by the West--did to the Palestinians from 1917 on.

Thanks for at least being polite--albeit sadly misguided and biased.

Bibi certainly is. What a psychopath.
On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

Thanks. I had seen Massie's analysis only in a brief twitter form.
