They never thought that Israel would have the stomach for the long fight and resist the pressures by the United States.

The military and intelligence strategies employed by Israel in Gaza and in Lebanon have confused Arab strategic “experts.”

Anti-Israel Arab research institutes as well as Egyptian and Syrian researchers and think tanks, have come to the conclusion – and some have admitted – that Israel’s firm stand in the past year is not what they expected.

In light of the significant losses suffered by Hezbollah and the escalating concerns in Tehran regarding a potentially unpredictable Israeli attack, the regime’s current strategy appears to be one of damage control. Iran believes that so long as there remains a foundation to build upon, it can eventually reestablish its influence in southern Lebanon.

To this end, the Islamic Republic seeks to cultivate an image of total warfare through a series of disparate yet calculated attacks via proxies. This approach serves not only to project strength in the eyes of its supporters but also to gamble on the possibility that the United States will exert pressure on Israel to halt its strikes against Iranian militias.

Rabbi Jacob Herzog tweeted the following today:

“We have brought you news of things you were unaware of.

Queen Rania of Jordan, you made a good choice. You understand my meaning, and I understand that you understand me. Let’s keep this between us, please.

It’s better this way, Queen Rania. We give you good news: Your daughter’s husband’s brother will only be imprisoned for one year, and he will be released after serving two-thirds of the sentence. And ‘one who leaves brings many good things.’

No regional war. The war with Hezbollah will not expand.

A new poll of New Yorkers reveals a surprising tale.

By Daniel Greenfield September 26, 2024

In September, the Jewish Democratic Council of America rolled out a poll which claimed that 72% of American Jews backed Kamala, and that Jewish voters didn’t really care about Israel or antisemitism, only about “abortion”, “climate change” and the “future of democracy”.

The poll by the Democrat firm GBAO Strategies was ridiculed as rigged even by the people who have spent years repeating back the results of similar past polls claiming that 70% of Jews voted for Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Exit polls usually don’t register Jewish voters and virtually all polls of Jewish voters are conducted by Democrat and liberal groups. And they’re just as worthless, but they fit people’s preconceptions of the Jewish vote.

Zelensky will seek more weapons and a longer leash so he can recklessly use US missiles to strike Russian cities and infrastructure. A recipe for World War III? You bet!

Leo Hohmann | Sep 23, 2024

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky began his visit to the United States in Pennsylvania with a stop Sunday at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, where he thanked American workers producing the 155mm artillery shells Ukraine uses to kill Russians in a nasty border war with its fellow slavic neighbor to the east.

I wonder how those American workers feel making weapons for the leader of perhaps the most corrupt country in the world, Ukraine, which is being used by a corrupt Washington Unitparty to poke the Russian bear in the eyeball. Maybe they’re not aware of the geopolitical ramifications of their work. I doubt many are or they would be looking for other, less provocative jobs.

Washington warns Israel against ground invasion into Lebanon

A senior Biden administration official said on Monday that the United States opposed an Israeli ground invasion into Lebanon to push the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror group from its border. U.S. officials have previously cautioned that an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah could have “catastrophic” consequences and that the Jewish state may “pay a heavy price without achieving its goals.” Undoubtedly, a ground operation is laden with risk. Yet since Hamas launched its war against Israel on Oct. 7, Washington has often tried to constrain Israel’s military operations by publicly casting doubt on the Jewish state’s ability to achieve its war aims. And Israel has repeatedly demonstrated that Washington’s fears were unsubstantiated.

Morning Intelligence Report

by MG Paul E Vallely, US Army (Ret) and SUAUS China Team | August 14, 2024

Taking advantage of the Freedom of Speech in America, the CCP has been engaging in a massive media war against America on American soil for decades. Recently, the CCP has further intensified its attack, especially on young Americans using various social media/streaming platforms, such as TikTok, YouTube, etc. This article presents only a few examples.

The CCP’s Chinese-language media in America often tend to be overlooked by Americans. Maybe this is due to the language barrier. These media aim to brainwash overseas Chinese with CCP’s propaganda. Exploiting their love for their home country, the CCP manipulates them to side with the CCP. It is a sad reality that to many overseas Chinese, loving China still means loving the CCP, while anti-CCP means anti-China, as they have been intoxicated to believe so.

Many of the Palestinian Authority’s most sophisticated officials, stationed around the world, have lauded the mass murder, gang rapes and baby-burnings of Oct. 7.

Dozens of Palestinian Authority diplomats around the world celebrated the Oct. 7 massacres, according to a new study. The revelations have important implications for anybody concerned about the prospects for Middle East peace.

The study was undertaken by GnasherJew, a group of British Jewish investigative journalists, and reported by The Jewish Chronicle based in London. GnasherJew is best known for exposing the antisemitic remarks made by Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of Britain’s Labour Party.

We’ve all experienced something like the following. The topic of politics comes up at a party, and someone in the group, seeking some way to say something smart but not divisive, will just toss out that we need to get rid of the Electoral College, the Constitution’s structure for electing the U.S. president and vice president.

The expectation is that everyone present will readily agree. And usually that is precisely what happens because few people have ever heard the other side.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued to strike Hezbollah sites in Lebanon on September 25, the third day of Israel’s “Northern Arrows” operation. In addition, the head of Israel’s Northern Command spoke to commanders of a key IDF armored brigade about the need to be ready for maneuver and action in Lebanon. The IDF said it was calling up two reserve brigades for operations in the north. Hezbollah also sought to illustrate that it possesses significant capabilities to strike at northern and central Israel.

The third day of Israel’s Operation Northern Arrows began with Hezbollah launching a ballistic missile toward Tel Aviv. The Iranian-backed terrorist group claimed in a statement that it had used a Qader-1 missile to target Israel’s Mossad headquarters. Hezbollah has blamed the Mossad for the exploding pagers that wounded thousands of its members on September 17. The ballistic missile was intercepted by Israel’s David’s Sling air defense system.

There is no legitimate way for Israel to take out a terrorist.

Daniel Greenfield | Sept 25, 2024

The myth that Israel’s tactics not its existence is at issue died with the murdered Jewish families on Oct 7 and the Hezbollah terrorists taken out by pagers on September 17 and 18.

No sooner did the encrypted communications devices handed out to members of the Islamic Jihadist group begin exploding than human rights experts and the UN began condemning the single greatest targeted attack on a terror group as a violation of international law. Those same organizations and activists had nothing to say about the Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israeli towns and villages that turned tens of thousands of Jews into refugees in their own country.

Peloni:  How crazy would the Americans have to be to follow the clarion call of the man who saw his own nation sewn into an ever reducing Rump, who betrayed his own constitution on a number of details not the least of which was his own re-election, and who has an ever insatiable appetite for endless war.  Indeed, as Zelensky is running out of Ukrainian youths who might be shoved into an unmarked vehicle and delivered to the Ukrainian front, he now countenances that this lack of available cannon fodder should be filled with the youth of America.

He also wants Putin replaced

Volodymyr Zelensky speaks at U.N. General Assembly (YouTube)

I think his summary is fair enough. But it is not the real text. Zelensky really thinks he can get NATO (led by the United States) to commit air power and troops to fight in Ukraine. That is why he is campaigning for Kamala Harris in swing states, including Pennsylvania, because he knows that the American troops cannot be dispatched until after Harris wins the election.
