  1. PRESENT ISRAELI LEADERS CANNOT WIN

    This is an American NeoCon operation as much as any of the others…Iraq Libya Ireland – above all NATO against Russia via Ukraine

    2. The purpose is to dominate Israel by using the reactionary judicial court as the stalking horse for the Hamas and Fatah. These betrayers remain the same. It was after all they who gutted Israeli fighting ability and very likely gutted the necessary intelligence about Hamas

    3. The corollary here are the islamists against Gadhafi, and the Stepan Bandera faction against Ukraine and Russia. In Israel the NeoCons of Biden have already identified the forces of the counter revolution. The Barak and Gantz actions which opened the door, actually giving the signal to Hamas murderers of Jews, are the equivalent of Azov and Right Sector of the Maidan Coup

    Unless this is recognised Jews will lose

    A whole new conceptual thinking has to be fought for

    This is not a time for the historically Stalinist popular front in Israel which is a phony unity and blocking of seeing reality.

    There has to be unity yes but not to hide the truth but to have a productive unity which can see that THE SAME FORCES WHICH SET OUT TO SMASH RUSSIA are pulling the same stunt against the Jewish people of Israel.

    Leon Trotsky called this a strategic issue, full unity against the enemy, but in order to open up the discussion. No clouding of the issues.

    Especially to be clear that the destructive aims against Putin and Russia by the NeoCons of America and Europe are being equally put in place against Netanyahu.

  2. I concur with you Ted, it is for Israel to decide whether to conquer Gaza. We need to get international NGO’s to get Cruise Ship and other large ships off Gaza coast so Gazans can be free to flee. A completely humanitarian action. Gazans do not want to live their for the most part.

    Egypt and Hamas have been keeping there. Some have emigrated over the years with great expense and difficulty. Qatar always needs foreign labor and has lots of money plus it loves Palestinians. Take the money they have been spending in Gaza and use to help the Gazans get to safety.

  3. WaPO REPORTS:

    The visit to Israel, Blinken’s second in just a few days, comes after President Biden warned that a new Israeli occupation of Gaza would be a “big mistake” — one of his firmest efforts to signal restraint to Israel as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza reaches critical levels.

    That’s for israel to decide not for Biden to dictate.

  9. Hi, Ketzel

    Some here loved Scott Ritter, when he attacked the Ukrainians as “Nazis”. Now that Israelis are also being called “Nazis”, the following is shifting a little.

    From the Liveblog of Sunday, October 15, 2023
    Israel halts security exports to Colombia as president likens IDF to Nazis
    Today, 10:35 pm

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israel-halts-security-exports-to-colombia-as-president-likens-idf-to-nazis/

    We’re at war. Propaganda is ubiquitous. So is hatred.

    PS. That’s Colombia, the country, not Columbia University.

  10. FELIX_

    Well Felix you know my history in Dublin, another point in that “resume” is that when I would be walking in the street the young ruffians would shout at me “Ya dirty Jewman go back to Jerusalem”.

    So Ireland, always truly Jew Hating is still living well up to form. They refused to take in refugees before and during the War, despite Rabbi Herzog’s desperate plea to his “close” friend De Valera from 1941 on. He’d heard snippets of the ongoing Holocaust.

    That Fine Gael Bastard stood up in the Dail and shouted out “not a single Jew, we already have far too many”..(3500-4000) Was it Oliver Flanagan??
    Bobby Briscoe eventually Lord Mayor was passed over twice when it was his turn to be LM, until years after the War. A close personal friend of my family, a member of our Synagogue (my father was President for over 30 years) and a decent, charitable to all races, man.

    I knew poor Ettie Steinberg well, I recall seeing her wedding to which my older family was invited. It was very big Community news being married to a Belgian,,, her brother Myer, living just down the road, was my sister’s boy friend for a few years.

    And tiny (less than 5′)_ Rebbe Braun, age about 80+ would be
    shambling along the street with his tzitot hanging down would be subject to stones , spitting, curses, none of which he was even aware of being in the clouds of Rashi, or other Talmudic dissertation.

    I got a certain amount of revenge as you know, when I began boxing.

    I was physically fighting against the ruffians since age 8.

  11. I thought I deleted the extra links to the Scott Ritter piece, sorry all, I didn’t mean to do so many posts. But Scott Ritter is used as a source here and has a following among conservatives. I have been saying here and elsewhere that Ritter appears to be a Russian agent, for a long time, and his history as a registered sex offender discredits anything he has to say. If you look up his bio, it seems that he was compromised early on, for instance, even before he was arrested in the underage internet sex sting, he married his 19 year old Russian interpreter that had been provided for him by Russia.

    In other words, his personal life has been related to his work. Does anyone think this young wife of his wasn’t a spy? And I had no idea of his personal history, none at all, when I realized his content was off and had a gratuitous anti-American slant. There are ways to critique American policy without doiing what he does, which is shill for the other side.

    Character is important. Antisemites and anti-Americans are people of the lie, and it’s too bad that so many good American patriots and pro-Western people in general, regard Ritter as a hero and patriot, when he has been an enemy agent all along. BTW, he was a weapons inspector in Iran, charged with monitoring Iran’s nuclear program. I don’t know whether he was covering up things to aid their bomb project, but some investigative reporter should look into corruption, blackmail and bribery with sex and money, among Iran nuclear inspectors.

  12. Ireland is going bananas in support of Hamas…This Palestine ideology (and it is mainly an ideology) comes from Haj Amin el Husseini close associate of Nazis and also from Stepan Bandera

    The lessons are very much in history…need though a party to clarify for the people

  13. The ideology of Palestinian is a Fascist ideology. Originated with Haj Amin el Husseini and met up with the centuries old ideology of Antisemitism promoted by the Catholic Church, reinforced by Islam, in that order

    And Fascism is to qualify as such always – a mass movement.

    So it is in Ireland you can see and feel

    Another characteristic – not rational, relied on emotions. Hitler’s torch procession

    Looking back when Hamas pushed gays and Fatah off high building in 2007 also that was the qualitative moment.

    And when Hamas fired on the retreating tanks in 2005 that was the moment

    It was a terrible thing to go on and ask those poor Jews to live next to the fence. Shouldn’t have happened and now points to total removal of building in Gaza

    Who needs concrete today.

    Return it to nature to make up for the pain of suffering Jews.

    Jews live alone and others separate

    That was the whole lesson of the Holocaust especially in Eastern Europe

    This is the big lesson of Antisemitism

    Need unity on that basis and only that. The reason why lies in study of history of Eastern Europe.

  14. Ted, Donald Trump was not mocking Netanyahu. Here’s the exact quote:

    Speaking to Fox News, Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said Netanyahu “has been hurt very badly” due to the attack.

    “He was not prepared. He was not prepared and Israel was not prepared. And under Trump, they wouldn’t have had to be prepared,” he said.

    If anything, he was sympathizing with Bibi. Please listen to the following:

    Trump MOCKS Media After They LIE About His Statements On Israel

  15. The western province of Herat in Afghanistan has been hit with a magnitude 6.3 earthquake – its third since powerful quakes on October 8 killed more than 2,000 people.

    The United States Geological Survey said the quake hit just after 8am (03:30 GMT) on Sunday, with the epicentre 33km (21 miles) northwest of Herat city, the capital of the eponymous western province.

    This quake coincided with the annular solar eclipse over the US. All three quakes were in Western Afghanistan, along the road to Iran and Israel. The Taliban had been petitioning the Iranians and Iraqis for permission to sent troops to fight Israel.

    I understand this as a “signature moment”, that God is beginning to intervene on behalf of Israel, more significantly than usual.

  16. @ketzel2 In fact, its a blood libel about the war of independence. He even goes beyond Friedman who falsely claimed he supported Israel before Lebanon in defaming Israel. I didn’t read past the first page because I didn’t want to create a free account. It’s from 2 days ago, moreover! It sounds like he is rooting for Hamas. He is completely discredited. Nothing he says should be believed. He’s obviously just another unemployed free-lance spook who is spouting, frothing, more like, whatever disinformation his latest clients are paying him to disseminate.

  18. I have seen no evidence that Scott Ritter ever stood with Jews. His understanding of Banderism is flakey because he did not create the critical geographical and
    contemporary link between Bandera and Haj Amin el Husseini and total all encompassing role of both together in the Holocaust of the Jews

    Having said that the role of some Jewish forces to line up with NATO against Russia is the great betrayal of Judaism.

    More than anything this throws open a window into the danger to Jews from contemporary Jewish leadership and why a new leadership will have to be built

  24. Good News in Israel: Country is Unified and United

    More soldiers reporting than requested even to reserve than called up even. Motivation of soldiers is super high.

    Citizens organized collection of clothes and food for those that had to leave their homes.

    Teenage Girls Organized Volunteer Babysitting (Child Care) for Parents who need who are in Army or Services such as Medical Care (Doctors, Nurses, etc)

  25. At the moment, Israel has not commented on its plans for Gaza. It has merely committed to killing every terrorists. As long as it targets terrorist collatteral damage is not a war crime.

    Gen Avivi said israel is trying to get Gazans to move south into Egypt but Egypt is refusing. Avivi says Egypt will eventuially have no choce. Let’s hope.

  29. X said it is removing accounts affiliated with the Hamas terror group, in an effort to curb the spread of “terrorist content” online.

    The platform has a policy against “Violent and Hateful Entities Policy,” according to which the company is taking steps to remove accounts that support Hamas or are sharing graphic media related to the invasion. The company also said it is monitoring the platform for antisemitic speech and is working with other platforms to prevent it from spreading through different networks.

  30. “Egypt has discussed plans with the United States and others to provide humanitarian aid through its border with Gaza Strip but rejects any move to set up safe corridors for refugees fleeing the enclave, Egyptian security sources said on Wednesday.”

    Israel must create such corridors without permission.

  31. Trump on Wednesday appeared to mock Israel for failing to anticipate the weekend Hamas onslaught and for not going on the offensive against Hezbollah amid several deadly clashes along its northern border. He also launched personal attacks against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he accused of “letting him down,” and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, whom he called a “jerk.”

  33. Ted,

    If you liked the Metaxes-Logan video, I think you’ll love the Eric Metaxes – Joel Rosenberg interview that follows it:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwfpQfwlHp4

    For those who don’t know, Eric wrote the blockbusters “Bonhoeffer” and “Letter to the American Church”

    https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eric-Metaxas/author/B000APFO3I?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true

    As I said elsewhere,

    Danger: Christians

    Eric’s parents fled to the US from Communist East Germany. His book Bonhoeffer deals with the issue of the German church having overwhelmingly supported Hitler — not on any theological basis, but because it was simply expedient to do so. Eric warns the American church, that this exactly where much of the American church is today. That is why I say, these videos are mainly addressed to Christians.

    Rosenberg is a Christian of Jewish parentage. He is speaking from the “Dome of the Rock” in Israel. His words are probably most appropriate for US Jews, because he is predicting that within a matters of days, the pro-Israel rhetoric of the Democrats, including the US Jews, will shift to STRONGLY anti-Israel, in which

    AMERICAN JEWS WILL LOOK LIKE ANTICHRIST IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA

  35. Lara Logan: Coordinated Sustained Attack By Hamas On Israel Was Unimaginable Until Now

    https://patriotdetroit.com/columnists/eric-metaxas/video/lara-logan-coordinated-sustained-attack-by-hamas-on-israel-was-unimaginable-until-now

    Lara is extremely well informed on these matters. I recommend this video. She did more than finger Iran as a culprit, which is obvious to just about everyone, but strongly implicated Deep State actors. I’m still in the middle of listening to the video.

  36. The following should be of interest mainly to Christians; but I think it is appropriate here:

    Christianity Today Staff Made Extensive Campaign Donations Between 2015 And 2022…All Went To Democrats
    By Megan Basham

    Oct 11, 2023 DailyWire.com

    https://www.dailywire.com/news/christianity-today-staff-made-extensive-campaign-donations-between-2015-and-2022-all-went-to-democrats

    “Between 2015 and 2022, nine Christianity Today employees made 73 political donations. All of them went to Democrats. This tally includes President and CEO Timothy Dalrymple, who gave $300 in two separate payments to failed Georgia Senate candidate Sarah Riggs Amico.

    Amico’s platform, which includes protecting abortion “without exception” and repealing the Hyde Amendment to allow federal tax dollars to fund abortions, contrasts sharply with the views of evangelicals who overwhelmingly say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. She is also at odds with traditional Christian beliefs when it comes to gender, sexuality, and religious liberty.”

    Christianity is said to have been founded by Rev. Billy Graham (I have not fact-checked this) I know from my fund-raising days, that popular Evangelical magazines, such as Christianity Today and Charisma have a readership that is 90% , mostly middle-aged (in the 1980s) and Middle Class, suburban women. I would not be surprised, if studies reveal that “megachurches” have the same demographic.

    A deep split has developed in “Evangelical” Christianity, especially in the past few years. I was booted out of one such church, partly, at least, because of my open support of Israel, in 1918. That church afterwards split apart.

    Christianity has been infiltrated by bad actors, at every level..

  37. Morsi was Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt = Hamas which is Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Brotherhood spawned Al-Quida!

    All terrorist groups with a fundamentalist Muslim belief in conquering the world and every is either Muslim or Dead.

  38. Steve Scalise is the new GOP nominee for Speaker, which means that he will likely soon be Speaker and the Rep controlled congress will be able to allocate funding for the current war.

  40. MICHAEL-

    My recollection of those times is that the guy’s name was Mohammed MORSI, and he was Egypt’s President for about a year before Al=Sisi put the Kybosh on him. He was sent to prisoj and I heard a few yesrs ago that he died there.

  41. Unbelievable scam artist Michael

    Are you getting a cut out of this

    Hank Kunneman is a pastor, however, his main earnings come from Youtube or his books, in which he is the author. His latest estimated net worth (2021) was near-about $500 thousand to $700 thousand.

    I see now where Bannon gets his ideas

    Consult the Vatican. They’re the really big earners.

  42. Get over it Michael. You were speaking utter crap. I defend the real astronomers of Newgrange and their science achievements of 5000 years ago. You are underneath the massive verbiage a real thickie
    And what are you saying that I cannot reply to your bogus

  43. Hi, Ted, “Ali Baba?” Maybe China. OK’

    Sisi seized the reins from a fellow named Mosri, who was, as I recall, very close to HAMAS and Erdogan… Islamic Brotherhood, I think. If Mudar is so anti-Sisi, is he pro-HAMAS and pro-Erdogan?

    In my gut, I’m actually with Sebastien on what to do with the Gazans. If that girl in the truck, who was brutalized by the terrorists, were my sister, I don’t know if I could sleep until every Gazan were in Muslim heaven, being bossed around by 72 fat, ugly houris who hate men and eat garlic all the time. I would like them to be trapped in Gaza, futilely resisting the IDF to their bitter end.

  44. Sebastien

    It is the right of the individual. Is he a good actor or not is the question?

    An English actor may be better to play Michael Collins if he is great enough in acting

    Politics stay out and aside

    Full freedom of art

  46. Michael S

    You are worse than a barbarian with your crap from Jack Posobiac and queer Bannon on natural 80-year biological “saecula” (q.v.), which is crapology

    In fact if an idiot like you had appeared in Newgrange Ireland about 5000 years ago those Mesolithic people would have stuck feathers up your stupid ass and marched you around the Boyne as a stupid simpleton. Because they were actually astronomers. Fools around Bannon.

  49. Mudar tweeted 5 hours ago:

    Sisi’s closure of the border with Gaza is the completion of his dirty conspiracy with Ali Baba, the “king” of Jordan and Iran, to strengthen Hamas and impose restrictions on the oppressed people of Gaza.
    Sisi’s action means that there is no escape for the Gazans from the brutality and recklessness of Hamas and there is no source of food, thus establishing the terrorist Hamas over the corpses of the oppressed people.
    The world must weaken Hamas by punishing those who secretly support it from worn-out regimes like Sisi’s regime.

    He has been telling me for at least a year that al Sisi is our enemy.
