I have not said anything to suggest that I hold any hatred towards you or your coreligionists in any way, shape or form, not in this thread or any other. I hope I don’t have to state that my post about the Lebanese Christians was related specifically and exclusively to the Lebanese Christians, and amusingly not about you at all. Just for clarity, my post regarding Nasrallah below this one was also shared without any relationship or connotation towards you or your christian faith. These were both simply news stories relatable to the conflict ongoing in Israel today, and I raeally shouldn’t have to explain this to you. I am not anti-Christian, and as Ted aptly put it, i am also not anti-Michael, for what it is worth. You seem a bit fragile or confused or something, so take a minute and reflect on the content of my previous posts and you will recognize that nothing I have shared here was meant as an abuse to either you or your religion or your anything else. This may be perhaps the silliest post I will hopefully ever have to write, so let us end this silliness and make no more pretenses that I have been hateful towards you when I have clearly not been.
@Peloni you believe the TASS report? I am highly skeptical to be understated.
Hezbollah is Iran’s defense against an Israeli attack. They are not the savior of the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood called Hamas. Hamas is just a tool they use.
@Michael
Reign it in.There are no anti-Christian or anti Michael comments or posts here.The only criticism is of the unelected Biden administration’s policies.
Peloni,
I’m pretty sure you know I’m not Lebanese. I imagine, though, that you DO know that the vast majority of Jews who fled RUSSIA in the early 1900s, came to the US — precisely because we were a CHRISTIAN country that gave everyone a fair shake. Still, you persist in hating me and mine because we are Christian. That’s your problem, not mine.

Hi, Bear
I’m sure Peloni still loves them. I don’t know about Ted. No direct word from Peloni on the matter. He’s busy blaming the Americans for WWII.
Israel is unified. I read one person’s commentary at the beginning of this war that the Israelis were so divided that they would lose the war and Israel disappear. Folks Israelis are really united and will win the war. I am worried about post war.
Study: Nearly 50% of Israeli citizens volunteered during first weeks of war
Far-reaching Hebrew University analysis shows ‘pre-existing social divisions set aside’ to create over 1,000 diverse civil initiatives

The eruption of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7 saw nearly half the Israeli population engaged in some form of volunteer work during the first two weeks of the conflict, according to an academic study released Thursday.
“This is a mega-event for Israel and for Israel’s civil society. The scale of activities, the areas of activities… there are things that we haven’t seen before. We’ve had wars, military operations and the COVID crisis, but the scale and the magnitude [here] are very different,” Prof. Michal Almog-Bar, Head of the Institute for the Study of Civil Society and Philanthropy in Israel at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and lead author of the study, told The Times of Israel.
The authors of “Civil Society Engagement in Israel During the Iron Swords War: Emerging Trends and Preliminary Insights” found that “approximately 48.6% of the Israeli population engaged in volunteering during this critical period” and that “volunteers played a significant role in effectively addressing the multitude of needs that emerged on the ground during the initial two weeks of the war.”
@ Peloni there was a WSJ article quoting US Military about anti Aircraft Systems to Hezbollah from Russians. When they get unloaded hopefully in Beirut Airport, Israel will know about it and blow them up.
@Bear
Is that report confirmed? When I read it yesterday on Twitter, it was clearly not yet confirmed, but just another report. Have you heard that the report is confirmed? I am not convinced that the report is real, but facts are stubborn things, if facts they be, of course.
@Ted
I am not finding it.
I am looking for an article that I published in which Biden claimed to have Israel’s agreement. If Israel did in fact agree, it would be suicde. Does anyone knw in whcih article Biden clkaimed to have israel’s agreement.?
Russian’s it is reported are going to send Hezbollah air defense systems. Anyone here besides the registered Trotsky worshiper still feel good about the Russians?
Summary of Politico report by OSINTdefender
I have long seen a distinction in the policies being pursued by the DOD and Pentagon when compared to the State Dept and Intel Agencies in Washington. This is a particularly acute example of the dichotomy of policies which oppose eachother in the current administration. Hopefully the Pentagon’s policy will be allowed to prevail so that the war will be won with relatively low costs. The alternative is likely to have a far less pleasant outcome for everyone but the terrorists. No doubt this is the reason why Blinken and Biden are rushing to return to Israel just as the lock is placed upon this Hamas stronghold. It will be interesting to see how Bibi and his govt respond.
Gaza city has been surrounded. So a new siege will begin…unless it is required that as they bomb Hamas into oblivion that they also serve them breakfast and dinner…The inhabitants of Mossel, Lybia and Syria would be quite jealous of the Penthouse treatment which Hamas is being treated. A million civillians were killed in the US war in Iraq. Half a million children died in America’s bombing of Serbia. Unkown numbers were slaughtered in the Gaddafi man-hunt in Libya. But in Israel, we must feed them before we can attack them. New double standards selectively enforced upon the Jewish State.

I posted about the 331fallen a couple of days ago. It was in Arutz 7. Likely it didn’t print. It was a sort of response to the news of the 15 IDF deaths in Gaza-including the 9 in a lightly armoured vehicle..

It doesn’t seem like many Arab leaders actually sympathize with the Hamas creatures.

There should be a new settlement built for every fallen IDF soldier, and each one should be named after the fallen hero.
331 IDF soldiers have fallen since the beginning of the war.

CIJR presents “The British Treachery and Israel” with Geoffrey Clarfield
Geoffrey Clarfield, who I recognize from your two symposiums, recently gave a lecture on the shocking plot by the British to overthrow the Israeli govt back during the 50’s by a military assault and re-establishthe British Mandate. In the discussion, Geoffrey relates the skullduggery of the British to betray Israel to the potential scemes of the current regime in Washington.
Recently I saw an article in which it said that Britain wanted to destroy the new State of Israel and return to the area as a mandate.
Please help me find this article.

Hi, Tanna
Someone will have to dig through Israpundit to find what I posted — definitely before Wednesday. It was prophesied several days before then, that something big was about to happen in the tunnels below GCS. If the police were not already given a heads up by informants, they definitely had that prophecy to go by.
In China, former PM Li Keqiang died, rather prematurely, at 68. His was the only voice remaining from the “Pre-Xi” era. He favored economic reform, but was silenced by Xi — along with Defense Minister Li Shangfu and Foreign Minister Qin Gang
To make a long story short, Xi has effectively purged all potential rivals, and fired all his advisors who had any wisdom.
Michael, the GCS thing came in out dinner through text notification. this was new as of Wednesday the 25th. siting across the table, eyeball to eye. Not a reference to what you had said earlier. we shall see.
what did you post about China?
Hi Tanna
The GCS thing was prophesied several days ago. I posted it on Israpundit, but it has scrolled off.
BTW the news I just posted about China is earthshaking.

Both Li and Qin were unconventional choices for their respective jobs, believed to have been hand-picked for their posts by Xi.

There are many reasons and possible reasons for limited incursions:
First the enemy should not know what you are planning and when.
Flexibility makes one less vulnerable.
You prepare the ground finding vulnerabilities and enemy traps.
Also Israel has from the air now divided Gaza in half and is furthering dividing it on the ground to control the battle space, not to allow the enemy resupply or reinforcements.
@MIchael I thought fascists were supposed to make the trains run on time.
You know the difference between a leftwing and a rightwing antisemite, from my observation? Leftwing antisemites have Jewish friends who they try to turn against other Jews

Where did they find so many white people?
@Edgar
Your conclusions are probably correct, with the current operation simply making the hole previously poked thru the Gazan defenses that much bigger while also trying to push Hamas back to the negotiating table over the hostage issue. Of course, I am not hopeful for the hostages, many of whom are likely spirited away thru the Egyptian border as with the Hamas leadership as you suggested. The Egyptian border is always porous for the right price.
Also, for all the bluster and public support of Israel being projected by the US, I am very certain that they are making a series of threats and warnings behind the scenes to try to counter Israeli resolve.
One more thing, the naval support in the Mediterranean is just amazing. I read a partial list of the major vessels present and it is quite a shocking list to read. I had expected that the second carrier group, along with the marine forces at least, would be moved to the Persian gulf before activities on the ground became more involved to act as a point of restraint on Iran, but it seems that this was not the case, or at least not yet. It would appear that there is a greater interest in posturing in the Mediterranean than providing a counterweight to Persian aggression closer to home. This more than anything appears quite counterintuitive, but time will tell.

PELONI-
The way I’ve read it, there have been a few preparatory-exploratory incursions, and the heat of the raids have depended on the resistance of Hamas. The major offensive is still to come.
And I think this is a good thing. . If the huge destruction incursions are just preparatory, then the Major offensive will obliterate Hamas-in Gaza at least.
They’re likely to pop up elsewhere as I believe that most of the leaders have already escaped to safety in Egypt.

The Metis may be “assimilated ” into the overwhelming Canadian culture as you say. I have yet to find any distinct Canadian Culture.
The Metis are a distinct Group and recognised as a separate, indigenous People in Canada. They have their own Leaders, Councils and officials. I met a metis about 25 years ago and we became fiends, and corresponded for at least 10 years until I left Canada for a while.
He chose “Metis’ over “Canadian”……
