Newsmax reporter: Isn't the attack on Israel an elaborate false flag to weaken the relationship between Jared Kushner and the Saudis?

Jared Kushner and the Saudis. He should skip his little pink ass over to go live them, they like the occasional blue-eyed devil.

Update from a friend in Israel

The death toll has been increased to 1200 people as they find more bodies. Of that number 123 were soldiers. They found brutalized bodies, beheaded as well (i don't know if they were babies or not but still pretty awful) the number of hostages is now estimated to be over 200.

There are still terrorists hidden in israel, and a few gunfights in the south.

The political drama has yet to resolve itself but it does look like there will be an emergency wartime cabinet, but the specifics are not yet clear

The northern border was quiet all day but in the evening there were small clashes, for now things are quiet again.

There were many rockets sent from gaza today and hamas expressed its intentions to destroy the city of ashkelon in retribution for the air strikes in gaza.

They also stated that they will start to murder hostages if the idf does any air strikes without warning civilians first.

Today for the first time press was allowed to go into the towns in Southern Israel where the brutality happened, from what I understand they were not allowed in the homes.

More and more Israelis are speaking out about the fury at bibi and his government and see him as responsible (not entirely responsible but yeah...)

The cabinet is meeting tonight and presumably they will decide what the next steps are.

As usual my sources are channel 12, times of israel, and kan

Hamas used crypto to fund their baby-beheading rampage.

Expand full comment

Don't a lot of terrorist organizations use crypto? I mean, that is kind of the point. Government can't track your wealth or transactions.

I don't believe things are as untraceable as we are led to believe. We invented the internet (thanks Al gore) and I believe we understand it better than anyone and probably have access to every inch of it in one way or another.

OT. Weeks like this demand space news!

"Gaia Mission Discovers Half a Million New Stars and 150,000 Asteroids"

"The latest data release from the European Space Agency’s Gaia observatory just dropped, and it’s a massive one: the spacecraft has identified half a million stars in a nearby cluster, nearly 400 gravitational lenses, and the orbits of some 156,000-odd asteroids.

... "'With the new data we can study the cluster’s structure, how the constituent stars are distributed, how they’re moving, and more, creating a complete large-scale map of Omega Centauri,' said Alexey Mints, a member of the Gaia Collaboration and the Leibniz-Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam, in an ESA release.

Yes. In the midst of so much horrible stuff happening, it's also a great age of astronomy. Astonishing discoveries one right after another.

yet another reason to wish that Carl Sagan was still alive -- he'd be overjoyed by news like this.

Expand full comment

Gaia made a chunk of my work obsolete, and I'm here for it. It's an astonishing achievement, basically measuring positions of stars something like 100 times more accurately than anything that has gone before -- and there is a HUGE amount you can do with such a leap in precision. All of a sudden, we have a reasonably accurate distance to every star within a couple thousand light years!

New York Times: Biden, who is old, talks about Israel:

Biden said that he first visited Israel over 50 years ago as a newly elected senator. Biden is facing scrutiny over his age and ability to lead. His long experience with Israel will no doubt be emphasized by his advisers — and, likely, his campaign — in the days ahead.

Trump is the one who is unfit. From a rally Saturday:

"Hannibal Lecter, how great an actor was he?" said Trump. "You know why I like him? Because he said on television on one of the – ‘I love Donald Trump.’ So I love him. I love him. I love him. He said that a long time ago and once he said that, he was in my camp, I was in his camp. I don’t care if he was the worst actor, I’d say he was great to me."

“Why did Joe Biden personally give Iran $6 billion to help them fund the attack?”

As a non-partisan journalist it is my duty to ask this ridiculous question even though it’s super easy to debunk. Hamas has been planning the attack for two years and not one penny of that $6 billion, which has been restricted to humanitarian aid only, has been spent.

Expand full comment

It's still in the bank. There's no way it could have been used. These things are years in planning, as we've seen. That's just a distraction.

Someone upthread is saying that Hamas financed this by cryptocurrency trading. If so, people who run the server farms have some 'splainin' to do.

Ugh, another new commenter here to school us all, on how Israel is just the worst.

This “schooling” could have been offered at any time in the last 10 years, but after hundreds of Israeli citizens were butchered, right now is the perfect time to offer a critique.

It’s amazing that when hundreds of citizens are slaughtered, the never before expressed opinions, come out.

There is no justification for these atrocities.

If you cared about Palestinian lives you would have worked to free Gaza from Hamas a decade ago.

You are just a murderous Nazi hater, a white guy from Europe, living the EU dream of hating Jewish people.

I suspect you didn't actually forget though because as you pointed out, they deserved it.

Expand full comment

It's not moral clarity. It's seeing the same crap arguments recycled over and over and over again.

There is literally no difference in blaming civilians being slaughtered in Isreal right now because they deserved it and blaming a woman for being sexually assaulted because the way she was dressed means she was asking for it.

It's the same brain poisoned "logic". It's the same excuses as to why the victim is the one at fault. It's the same whataboutism.

The actual circumstances may be different, but the crap arguments are always the same.
