Hi, Peloni
You manage to weave the Maidan Uprising into so many of your posts, I’m beginning to attribute them to an affect of your language — as though perhaps I can just translate what I’m about to say into Cyrillic characters, and you will understand me 🙂
The narration that came with the video noted that if the former governor of New York can’t walk the streets in safety, who can? It’s a sign of the times — which reminds me of a scripture:
Gen.6
[11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
[13] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Thank you for restoring my post.
Did Israel let anyone know its plans before destroying the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981?
I am afraid that now they are shouting their plans from the rooftops to get an excuse NOT to retaliate this way against Iran (as in “The US won’t let us!”).
@Michael
I rescued your comment. Thank you for bring it to my attention.
Shocking report by the way. The introduction of violence into political discord is an important aspect of the anti-democratic forces which have been taking hold over the whole of the Western world. In fact, such activities are not dissimilar to those which took hold over Ukraine both before, during, and most dramatically after the American led Ukrainian coup of 2014 when the the anti-democratic control over Ukraine became all too well entrenched to irradicate. Should Trump return to office, these are the tactics which will be utilized to first stymie his authority and his reforms, and will likely be used to ultimately attempt to overthrow his presidency. Hopefully he will have a better response to deal with this looming sword of Damocles than was exercised during his first term, during which time his response was far from successful. As was true with Ukraine, the enforcement of equality before the law, versus the absence of it, will determine the future course of the US, and since we are talking about America, it will also determine the future course of the world.
Ted & Peloni, my latest post has disappeared.

Israel can not let Biden and his cronies micro manage the war Israel is fighting. Biden/Blinken and company believe they should do this but they are completely clueless and Israel needs to chart its own security path.
Bibi and others have ignored some of the dictates of Biden and company very successfully changing things on the ground.
NBC is reporting that Israel has still not informed Washington of their planned response against Iran. Some speculation is being made that they are hoping to learn the answer to this question from Gallant during his visit while others are speculating that Israel may make their response while using Gallant as a diversion distracting Washington with this expectation.
Barak Ravid: “In recent weeks, the Biden administration has developed a growing lack of trust in what the Israeli government tells the United States about its military and policy plans in the multi-arena war it is waging,”
This is the best news possible.
@Reader
Edgar is correct, taking small steps before diving in on the strength training is very important. Best of luck with it.
READER-
I’m glad that YOU remembered US…… Even retired is OK. I was with guys who were 70-75. Depends on if you can do a little walking around. Not much.
Let me know how uou get on with the exercises. I’d be interested on knowing What they are and how to do them. I need them too but slowly does it.
I have a hip with the cartilage worn away. I walk like a sailor. but right now am building up my shoe to add the required 3/4-1 inch. I’m using cork.’
Then I’ll learn to walk straight all over again.
@Reader
The Philadelphi Corridor was not evacuated, as just the 162nd moved north. Today the North is where Hamas has unleashed its greatest salvo of projectiles in many many months, validating the move to crush the Hamas in the North. I hope to see the General’s Plan put in play, to starve out the terrorists by withholding food and water while allowing civilians passing thru checkpoints going south. October is going to be an interesting month.
Here is some news that I find disturbing.
This article appeared on A7 yesterday and was quickly pushed behind other news:
Was this whole affair with a new goal of the war designed to cover up the plan to leave the Philadelphi Corridor?
Did IDF leave anyone there or did it leave the place totally unprotected?
@Edgar
@peloni
Thank you, guys! Glad to “see” you, too.
I am glad you still remember me.
BTW, what happened to Felix?
I actually finished reading recently the 3 volumes on Trotsky by Isaac Deutscher that Felix recommended.
My aliyah plans are kind of frozen (but not given up) right now, I was planning to move North, and now it is impossible.
I am retired, so I doubt that I am really fit for Mishmar Ezrachi.
BTW, the latest rage, it seems, is strength training for seniors (most problems that come with age are caused by muscle atrophy), so I am going to try that (nothing extreme at all).
Many, many more bodies not yet recovered from Hurricane Helene; National Guard finally showing up in some areas; New hurricane (“Milton”) heading for southern Florida.

@Reader
I am very glad to hear from you again. You have been gone for too long. I hope you are doing well and are upto sharing your keenly spirited views once again. As I have noted before, we don’t always agree, but you do make it necessary to think quite intently about what I believe. In any event, as Edgar states so well, your return is quite welcome.
READER-
Haven’t heard from you for a long time. Your return is welcomed.
How are your Aliya plans? NOW would be most propitious time..
If over IDF age, you could serve in the Mishmar Ezrachi, which patrols at night checking every neighbourhood. They are well organised and do a REAL service.
I did this, equipped with a (likely) WW2 Winchester 303, in a band of about 6-8., We had a Van, and were dropped off in pairs with a later rendezvous. We had regular target practice.
I am reading Joachim Koehler’s book Wagner’s Hitler:The Prophet and His Disciple.
The chapter entitled Pioneers has absolutely amazing information about who really created Hitler and pushed him into his leadership position with the main goal of implementing The Final Solution to the Jewish Question (the rest of the book is certainly worth reading also).
Some of the above folks talked him into writing Mein Kampf while he was in prison in the 1920s and helped him with editing the manuscript, etc.
BTW, the first (apparently) man to suggest gassing the Jews (together with mosquitoes) was Emperor Wilhelm II (and this thought also occurred to a few others decades before WWII).
Just found this:

Jew hatred is always about religion, no matter what the haters say or which new slogans they invent, or which religious views or lack thereof they profess.
Reports of a near non-stop attacks on Hezbollah infrastructure and weapon depots in Beirut overnight. Massive explosions throughout the evening.
Abed Amaala tweeted that,
He couldn’t possible know. I think he is guessing.
Ismail Qa’ani, commander of the Quds Force of Revolutionary Guards, is being reported by Channel 12 as having been killed. Iran is disputing this claim, but he has not been seen in several days, and was notably absent from Khomeni’s recent propaganda speech, something which he routinely attended. It is believed that Qa’ani was killed in the same air raid in which Hashem Safieddine, Nasrallah’s replacement, was killed. What makes this even more likely to be true is that Iran has now released footage as proof of life for Qa’ani which was recorded days before he would have been killed. It should be recalled that Qa’ani was Suliemani’s replacement. Hence if this claim proves to be accurate, which it currently does appear to be, the replacements for both Nasrallah and Sulleimani would have been taken out with the same bomb.
Israeli airstrikes target Russian airbase and its weapon depot in Syria. The Syrian air defense claimed to have intercepted 50 projectiles with the help of the Russian military.
PELONI-
It suddenly dawned on me about Arutz 7. Out Rosh HaShana rubs straight into Shabat. So no publication change until out Shabat .
I’m getting stupid in age.
PELONI-
Re Arutz we just can’t tell. We’ll see tomorrow.
As for your explanation of the 2nd ‘flood’… I think your explanation is ‘dicey’. I’d thought of that, but…………that ‘2nd’ barrage had been already exhaustively dealt with by both Arutz and Israpundit several days ago.
This new article being near the top of the list, indicates to any normal thinking person, an entirely new barrage.
Indeed the very description was given as ‘Iran’s second missile flood has begun’ , seemingly ongoing, and intimating it was/had been destroyed by ISRAELS’S F-35s alone..
The earlier 181 barrage had the help of US and UK planes. indicating that this one is an entirely new event.
It’s logical to think-if not a new attack, is…that Israpundit made a boo-boo.
@Edgar
I was wondering about Arutz as well.
Regarding the title referencing the second barrage, the first barrage was the attack back in April when Biden told Bibi to take the win and Israel did not respond. It confused me as well at first.
I hope your guess about Israel destroying Hezbollah is accurate, but I think it will depend on how many casualties Israel will suffer while pushing Hezbollah north of the Awali. The report by Dr. Gada Ennab is interesting alternate possibility, namely that Israel has sufficiently weakened Hezbollah by decapitating its command structure while beeping many of their members into taking an unexpected medical leave of absence, thus allowing the Lebanese the potential of taking back control of their country and forcibly disarming Hezbollah.
Another possible alternative is that perhaps the New Jordan will take Hezbollah out with the support of SA.
But personally, I would prefer that Israel, having cut the head off of the Hezbollah dragon, was seen to deal that evil institution its final death knell.
PELONI-
thank you for the info. It means to me that the IDF, is enlarging its activities more than double the distance into Lebanon, thus signalling that, as well as Hamas we intend to destroy Hezballah………….Just my guess…
All good news. But I wonder what the headline article means by the info that Iran has released a second barrage. I can find nothing on it anywhere.
Arutz 7 has not changed its news page for 4 days. I wonder why. I can understand 3, but the Chag is over in Israel, and usually the news page is completely new………….??
@Edgar
Mideast Eye reports that the Awali River is 60-90km from the Israeli borders which is about 37-56 miles. Gen. Avivi made the case for using the Awali River as the new border some weeks ago, and it appears that the IDF may be acting on this.
TED-
I see that the IDF has told Lebanese to evacuate beyond the Awali River.
I know the Litani is about 20 miles from border but how far is the Awali??
Do you know??
Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon have escalated, with 100 Hezbollah operatives killed in airstrikes and ground combat in the past day, according to Israeli assessments on October 4. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) issued urgent evacuation warnings to civilians in 37 villages along the border, advising them to move north of the Awali River. The military stated that Hezbollah’s operations have forced Israel to act, but it emphasised efforts to minimise civilian casualties during airstrikes targeting Hezbollah’s weapons facilities. Lebanon’s health ministry reported that 37 people were killed in Israeli strikes the previous day.
Additionally, the IDF claimed to have conducted airstrikes on 15 Hezbollah sites in Beirut, hitting weapon depots and critical infrastructure. Tensions intensified after Hezbollah allegedly used the Masnaa civilian border crossing to smuggle Iranian weapons into Lebanon. In response, Israeli airstrikes created a large crater, cutting off the main road to Syria. The IDF also claimed to have killed several key Hezbollah commanders, including the head of its communications unit and a precision-guided missile expert. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi vowed to continue targeting Hezbollah positions across Lebanon to prevent the group from re-establishing its strongholds.
VOTE EARLY, or you may not get the opportunity to vote at all.
Today, 8 soldiers killed in Lebanon invasion.
That’s a big hit.

I wish you could tell me how you sleep so well.
i really mean this. It would be a great favour.
i sleep very poorly even with sleep meds. So poorly that
i can-and do-doze off during the day without any med encouragement.
To sleep through sirens and explosions ………I want some of that…
i can’t explain it, I have 2-3 90-120 min snooze times with no meds.
As you may know, I live with my daughter and her two daughtersin Jerusalem.
She just came down to tell me I splept trhrought the whole bombardment including the sirens.
Meanwhile her daughterw were terrified and secure in their bomb shelter.
I found out about the attack after I woke up and watched the videos..

@EDGAR
I am glad because Iran will be the big loser as I have said,
I didn’t think it would so stupid.
TED-
Believe it, it’s happening right now. Arutz 7 says 181 ballistic missiles. no one hurt so far..
Iran has just now acted against it’s own interests just to preserve it’s present hegemony over it’s well financed terrorist groups now fighting
Israel.
Iran hasn’t seemed to notice that the terrorists are almost on their last legs particularly Hamas, and their action was a waste of hardware and an actual opening of a WAR. Because Israel will not be just defensive here . Israel will attack with great force. It likely will lead to regime change before the Mullahs were ready to combat it.
‘
Current info on terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. One dead terrorist and looking for the second. 6 people seriously wounded and more hurt with different level of wounds. Ten or more shot by terrorists.
Terrorist attack in Tel Aviv by two terrorists with automatic weapons. More than 10 wounded. On going event with maybe 2 more terrorists. Details not certain currently on Israeli TV news.
Actually Iran is in the process of attacking and this time we will attack back strongly. The USA and Israel have told Iran that. The IDF spokesman has confirmed what the USA said.
US will help Israel in defense. I would hope that they would help attack Iran but the chances of this are not super high.
This is an opportunity to hit their nuclear facilities, gas facilities and IRGC and other leaders.
US just warned Israel of a big imminant attack by Iran.
I don’t believe it.
Iran has too much to lose.
Hello, Edgar. You said to me,
That’s a colorful description 😀 — like combining a Kamala Harris word salad with a black hole

I must say, that trying to understand you is equally perplexing. Touché !

PELONI-
YES so true, what you say. Begging Arabs to stay when they were fleeing like lemmings, and giving them the vote was even worse in it’s way than Oslo, Obscene as THAT was.
Oslo will soon be just the garbage of history and dumped in a deserved cess pit, but BGs giving the Arabs full citizenship with the franchise will always be with us- a never ending 5th column.
@Michael
I hope so. There is a great deal riding on this being the case, and not just for those voting in the US.
@Raphael
We are having a technical issue with the News Letter, and we are attempting to resolve the matter currently. I had hoped that it would be resolved today, but it seems that we will have to wait til tomorrow and hopefully things will be back to normal.

@Edgar
Every word you wrote is too true. BG was a master manipulator, and seemed to excel at the art of swindling when he wasn’t ordering the murder of Jews in Etzel. He cost Israel a great deal with the betrayal of the Altalena and cause a huge political scuffle in France for their role in Operation Bid, of which the Altalena was to be just the first of 4 such ships laden with arms, munitions, and a 1000 trained Jews from the DP camps. He was a control freak extraodinaire, even as he had a vision and passion, though his vision and passion led to the great betrayal of all when he exteneded voting rights to the Arabs in what was to be the Jewish state. Also, he lacked any aptitude with which to deal efficiently with the Americans, and that came to cost the state a great deal in later years.
I also agree with you about Wiezmann, though he was too addicted to dealing directly with the national leaders which was the same trap that BG found himself commonly ensnared. It is a great pity that Jabotinsky or a man of his caliber was not present to show both the swindler and the statesman, ie BG and Weizmann, the way to win support from a democratic nation is by addressing the people directly, and not exclusively their leaders. Bibi learned that lesson well, and he excels at implementing it.
PELONI-
Just what I’ve alwats posted over and over against the most vicious malice.”I’ve posted that the PM is Israels only world Statesman , Chaim Weizmannwas another but basically before Israel was founded and then Ben Gurionpulled a quick swindle whilst Weizmannwas pleading with Truman Filched the PM job which weizmann deserved far more than anyone else.
BG would have delayed declaring for another 6 weeks but W cabled to declare immediately.'”It’s now or never” famous words lost in history.
Weizmann’s character and mental strength showed all through pre-war Zionism, far more ythan any…..!!
MICHAEL-
What I mean is that you are normally sane and competent, BUT….when you go on your religious rant rolling off sheets of Torah and Gospels, there’s no stopping you then. like an endless belt on a machine.
I received a daily Israpundit post on 09/29/24, and I cannot open any of the stories. The lead story was, “The Name Deception”. Is anyone else having trouble with that post, or is it just me? Also, I have not received an Israpundit post since then, which is a bit unusual.
Hi, Edgar
If my piety is extreme, the world is in deep spiritual trouble. Good to have you back, even if you didn’t go away. 🙂
Peloni,
This is “October Surprise” month, in the US election cycle. The Dems will no doubt try to drum up a war or pandemic, as is their wont; but maybe President Trump will provide the action:
Maybe the Republic will be awake enough,this time around, to take notice of these matters before we’re all sold at auction by the traitorous Supremes again.
