COMMENTARY / OPINION
NOV 3, 2023 – Don’t rely on the nations to protect you.
Don’t rely on a secular state to protect you.
Don’t rely on the Israeli Defense Force to defend you. Their job is to defend the State, not you. [Emphasis added]
“Ashur will not save you. אשור לא יושיענו.” Hoshea 14:4
“Place not your trust in nobles, nor in mortal man who has not the ability to bring deliverance.” Psalms 146:3
Trust only in G-d Almighty.
Obey His law:
“One who is coming to kill you, wake up earlier to kill him” (Rashi, Exodus 22:1)
Arm yourself and your family, and have a network of neighbors who are likewise armed ready to defend themselves and their neighborhood.
Don’t wait on the phone for the IDF or police for 8 hours like sheep to the slaughter.
The government is not trustworthy. Its interest is not necessarily to protect you. We cannot know when they wil issue stand-down orders and sacrifice you or your child for some political expediency. Don’t rely on their whims.
Only G-d Almighty will protect you. Trust in Him alone and in none other
Why are the Oct. 7 atrocities being denied? Caroline Glick
11/03/2023 – On its face, Holocaust denial makes no sense. The physical evidence of the genocide exists. The testimony of survivors and of Nazis and their collaborators exists. And they are all irrefutable.
Beyond that, the Nazis were proud of the fact that they killed 6 million Jews. By denying the Holocaust, contemporary Nazis and Nazi fans seem to be demeaning their heroes. Why would they do that?
The mystery of Holocaust denial is no mere puzzlement from a distant past. Understanding its purpose is essential as we contend with our present predicament. Immediately after word got out about Hamas’s sadistic slaughter of more than 1,400 Israeli men, women and children on Oct. 7, Hamas’s supporters worldwide launched a concerted effort to deny that anything had happened.
Just as neo-Nazis both celebrate the Holocaust and deny it, so do those who rapturously greeted the stories of slaughtered and decapitated Jewish babies and men, and raped and dismembered Jewish women and girls, insist that Hamas didn’t commit any of those crimes.
“Why my generation hates Jews” Dr. Alex Grobman
There was no comparable act of terrorism in Israel’s 75-year history, but not for lack of trying – and yet, Gen Z sides with Hamas.Opinion.
Nov 2, 2023, 8:00 PM (GMT+2) – The savage attack by Hamas on October 7 raises a number of questions and issues. The first is the laws of war. Asa Kasher, Emeritus Professror of Ethics and Philosophy at Tel Aviv University, and a lead author of the Israel Defense Forces Code of Ethics, makes it clear that “Israel has a legal, moral, and ethical framework for approaching questions about conduct in war.”
The Laws of War
A fundamental interest is “how the IDF can effectively protect Israel, its citizens, and Israel’s own soldiers while adhering to moral principles, military ethical norms, and international law.” Israel’s “military response to the attacks so far,” he said, has followed these standards, and the IDF has taken multiple steps to minimize collateral damage.” Israel’s decision to enter Gaza to ensure Hamas is eliminated in order to preclude any future attacks, is not an act of “revenge,” and should not be portrayed as such. “The major principle at issue is self-defense.”
The core problem Kasher says is that though the Arabs glorify death, the Israelis venerate life. “We must free ourselves from the attitude that regards others’ lives with fear and trembling while holding the lives of our own combat soldiers in complete contempt,” Kasher advised. “International law wants to impose a position on us whereby soldiers are a consumable resource and that the lives of enemy civilians must be protected more than the lives of our own combat troops. Bandages are a consumable resource. Water is a consumable resource. Human beings are not.”
In other words, Kasher asserts, “Israel cannot forfeit its ability to protect its citizens against attacks simply because terrorists hide behind non-combatants. If it did so, it would be giving up any right to self-defense.” One must remember that most of the IDF soldiers, especially in the army and navy, “are conscripts. As citizens in military uniform, they are entitled to ask the state, as well as the IDF and its commanders, whether they are being placed in greater jeopardy to save the lives of enemy non-combatants who have been repeatedly warned to leave the scene of battle. An affirmative answer to this question would be morally unacceptable.”
Special Forces Veteran Tells Joe Rogan Terror Attacks Are Coming to U.S. Because of Open Border: ‘Should Scare You to Death’ (VIDEO) By Mike Lachance
Nov. 2, 2023 9:00 pm – Tim Kennedy is a Special Forces veteran who now works in television and other media. During a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, Kennedy warned that terror attacks are coming to the United States due to Joe Biden’s open border.
Millions of Americans see the danger that Biden has put the country in, but he does not seem to care, even after the horrors we just witnessed in Israel.
As Kennedy explains, it’s just a matter of numbers and time.
The Washington Examiner has more details:
Special forces veteran warns Joe Rogan the next US terrorist attack might be imminent
Decorated special forces veteran and retired UFC fighter Tim Kennedy told Joe Rogan that the next terrorist attack on U.S. soil might be imminent.
“You want to get a weird Google thing, Google how many known people on the terror watchlist have made it across,” Kennedy said on Wednesday’s episode of the Joe Rogan Experience after the host brought up the screening process at the southern border. “It’ll scare the crap out of you.”
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have comprehensive lists of people on terrorist and criminal watchlists, he said.
“The number of those that we have captured at the border is obviously just going to be a drop in a bucket of those that have made it across,” according to Kennedy. “In light of what just happened in Israel, where they flew paragliders over borders … and they crashed through walls, and then they were able to kill 1,400 people in one day … and that was 1,000 insurgents, total.”
Here’s the video:

“You look at the number of people that have been coming over the border for the past three years that we know are on watch lists. It should scare you to death. We’re going to have a real bad year.”pic.twitter.com/R64CDHBgBv

Psychopaths and their Psyops MICHOEL GREEN
Hypnosis by hypothetical hijackers and homicidal hand-gliders
NOV 2, 2023 – In this post, I shall use the term ‘psyop’ in reference to a ‘false flag’ psychological operation in which an atrocity is committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning exclusive blame on another party in order to influence the public’s objective reasoning, induce irrational fear, and/or impose an insidious agenda of tyranny.
10/7/23 was a psyop like 9/11/01, except for one significant difference.
In 9/11, the killing wasn’t carried out by Arab jihadists at all, but just blamed on them.
In 10/7, we know that Arab jihadists executed the killings, or at least many of them.
The psyop is that it was blamed exclusively on Islamic executioners with no mention of the real masterminds who bear full responsibility for the unthinkable carnage and crimes against humanity.
Who are the real criminals? Well, it’s not so simple. At the most obvious level, it’s those who sit in the highest echelons of power in Israel, whoever was responsible for (& complicit in) the enabling, funding, arming of the Arab executioners, for the open border, 8-hour stand-down order and media silence.
However, that’s also part of the psyop.
The Israeli govt. crooks are also just puppets.
The real puppeteers hide insidiously behind many layers of plausible deniability, but make no mistake about who is pulling the puppet strings.
It’s the same rogue elements who gave us 9/11, ‘Covid’ & its ‘vaccine,’ the Shoah, and all the other psyops of the past few centuries.
It’s the sociopathic villains who have consolidated most of the world’s assets, the so-called elite class of super-wealthy eugenicists, self-appointed predators of humanity. These predators, the ones who bankroll Bibi, Biden, et al, are the high priests of a death cult of epic proportions, worshipping a bloodthirsty Angel of Death of their own concoction. It is these globalist Satanic criminals who have weaponized world governments against their people, masterminded the radicalization of Islamic society, created the so-called ‘Palestinians,’ imposed statism (including ‘Zionism’) to enslave world population, fund both sides of every conflict to maximize carnage, control the narrative on both sides. They are playing us all for fools.
Yes, Arab jihadists and their supporters must be eliminated. Gaza must be purged of jihadists. Jews are entitled to live in our ancestral Holy Land in safety and security.
That’s all true, but it will ONLY be attained once Israel purges its own govt., media, and its entire establishment, of globalist puppets.
Until then, the carnage will continue. The killing sprees will proliferate. The noose of totalitarian tyranny will tighten around everyone’s necks. The world will be inflamed in the narrative of ever-increasing “us vs. them” conflict.
Dear world: I don’t care by Avi Lewis
November 2, 2023
I don’t care that you sympathize with Hamas
I know you wouldn’t tolerate any of the things they did to us if they would’ve done it to you
I don’t care that you’re outraged by Israel’s response to the massacre more than the massacre itself
I know you would do everything to eliminate such pure evil if you experienced it yourself
I don’t care that this doesn’t fit neatly into your carefully constructed narrative of ‘Israel as aggressor’ and ‘Palestinian as victim’
The truth hurts sometimes, but hey, don’t let facts get in the way of your feelings
I don’t care if you think we are at fault, that we had it coming, that Hamas’ actions’ didn’t occur in a vacuum (or to deny they ever happened)
If you feel that the poster of a kidnapped child hurts your cause, maybe yours is a lost cause
I don’t care about your calls for a premature ceasefire, about your demand that we provide them with electricity, that we stop fighting for ‘humanitarian reasons’
What of a humanitarian gesture to release our 230+ hostages – elderly, children, babies – snatched from their cribs?
I don’t care that you’ve rallied for Palestine as part of your march for LGBTQ rights, trans rights, workers rights, socialism, climate change, intersectionality, Black Lives Matter, fighting Islamaphobia and ‘all forms of racism’
Your gullibility would be laughable if it wasn’t so hypocritical. None of those things exist under Hamas
I don’t care that you ‘love Jewish people – just hate Israel’, that you have some friends that are Jewish, that maybe you’re ethnically Jewish yourself – and therefore you’re entitled to levy every libel in the playbook against us
Words matter. They lead to actions. When a lie is repeated often enough it’s accepted as truth. You are laying the groundwork for more attacks against us
I don’t care that you wave the flag of ‘human rights’, that you’ve become overnight experts in international law, that you shout fancy slogans you don’t understand such as proportionality, occupation and apartheid
Your humanity is selective. In your mind, human rights don’t apply to us because we are undeserving. You didn’t speak up when our women and children were horribly assaulted
I don’t care if you think we are colonialists, imperialists and settlers and that we should just go back to where we came from
We are back to where we came from
I don’t care if you believe in a one state solution, a two state solution, a federation, an internationalized Jerusalem or any other theory drawn up in your ivory tower
We won’t readily hold out our necks and endanger our lives in order to satisfy your thought experiments and placate your conscience from afar
I don’t care if you consider yourself anti-Zionist but not antisemitic
We’ve seen enough Jews around the world attacked over the last 3 weeks under the guise of ‘anti-Zionism’
I don’t care that you think we are too powerful, too technologically advanced, too sophisticated
If we didn’t build ourselves up to this point we’d get eaten alive by Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Iran and Palestinian terrorism
I don’t care that you blame us for 1948 refugees, for the fact that they have no state, for the keys that they wave in their fantasy of ‘right of return’
Three weeks ago we got a glimpse of what that ‘return’ looks like and what it means for our children
I don’t care if you think we aren’t real Jews, that Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism, that Jews are a religion and not a nationality and so we deserve no state
Your denials have zero impact on the strength of our ideals and the self-affirmation of our identity
I don’t care that you accuse us of flaunting the myriad of UN resolutions, inquiries and statements
They reflect more on the institutional decay of the UN than on us
I don’t care about your media coverage, the lies, the equivocation, the acceptance of Hamas talking points and statistics
You echo chamber is just a another weapon in their strategic arsenal
I don’t care that you accused us of bombing the Al Ahli hospital
It was only a matter of time before you found a symbol for Israel’s wickedness. The subsequent retractions were a fig leaf once the truth emerged that Islamic Jihad was responsible and that the hospital is still standing
I don’t care that you see us as a criminal state, a terror state, usurpers, baby killers, Christ killers, Khaybar Jews or any other depravity that exists in your mind
Your libels lay the groundwork for our dehumanization. Rings a bell. We will fight it
I don’t care that you’ve inverted the truth by accusing us of genocide
If positions were reversed and Hamas held the power we do now, you’d see what a genocide looks like
I don’t care that you’re angry, boiling and outraged
I don’t care that you’re glued to your TV screens and Telegram channels
I don’t care that you’re mad
I don’t care if you’re out on the street, waving your flag and chanting your slogans
We won’t die silently the way you want us to
For the first time in 2,000 years we are organized, we are motivated and we will defend ourselves
We fight for light over darkness
Morality over evil
Not that it matters to you – but we will stick to the rules and hold the high moral ground not because you expect it from us, but because they are a value for us
We will do so ethically and thoughtfully, for we are the People of the Book
Our power and strength are our necessity, because the alternative for us is:
Be’eri, Kfar Aza, Pittsburgh, Toulouse, Farhud, Hebron, Birkenau, Belzec, Babi Yar, Kristalnacht, Kielce and Kishinev
Do you think for a moment that we would return to that reality just to make you feel a little better?
You are deeply mistaken…
World,
For so, so long, I really, deeply cared
I cared about fitting in
I cared about what you think
I cared about being a model citizen
I cared about setting a personal example of how a tiny people in a tough neighborhood could still be a Light unto the Nations
How the world’s oldest minority – now a majority here – could treat its own internal minorities par excellence amidst the complicated and messy reality of ethnic conflict
How we could painfully dismember parts of our homeland and offer them on the platter of peace to Palestinians that want neither peace nor some parts (they want all of it)
How we could dazzle you with USB sticks, drip irrigation, operating system kernels, Nobel Prize winners, swallowable medical cameras, deep tech, quantum mechanics, generative AI and cures for disease
But now I’m finally accepting that you don’t care
You never did
You don’t see and you don’t hear
And because I cared about what you think so much, that so deeply hurts
But you don’t have my best interests at heart
You take issue with my base identity, with what I represent
Don’t expect me to wait for your approval this time
It doesn’t matter what I do, you’re not going to change
It doesn’t matter how I act, because your issue is with who I am
Now I’m going to block out your noise, and do what it takes to win this war
Today
Finally
I no longer care

Is Hamas the reincarnation of the Amalekites? Diane Bederman
The Eternal will be at war against Amalek throughout the ages for this cowardly attack on His people.
Nov 1, 2023 – Hamas, the Amalekites of today, are evil, bestial, monstrous cowards who feed on those who can least defend themselves. Nothing has changed over the millennia.
I owe my readers an apology. I thought #obAMALEK was the Amalek of the 21st century. Seems I was too hasty. He still may be the “leader,” but it seems the Hamas/Gazans are the reincarnation of the tribe of Amalek: the tribe who took down the weakest of the Israelites fleeing Pharaoh. I had hoped that the Holocaust would be the end of the tribe of Amalekites – but I was wrong as were millions of others. Never Again has happened again, and millions upon millions of people stand with the Amalekites. That explains why in a world of 8 billion people, only 15 million are Jews.
For those who do not know the story of Amalek, let me share.
Amalek was a descendent of Esau, Jacob’s brother. Jacob whose name became Israel. Sadly, Jew against Jew is not new.
As leader of the tribe, Amalek chose to attack the weakest of the Israelites; the women, children, and the sick, as they escaped across the desert away from the oppressor, Pharaoh, who had enslaved them in work camps (concentration camps) for 400 years. The attack was a vicious surprise. These are the actions of cowards; not the first nor the last, but cowards who went after the weakest.
Following the attack God promised to completely wipe out the memory of Amalek from the earth, and to wage an eternal war with Amalek in every generation. God swore that His name and throne would not be complete until Amalek was destroyed. The evil of Amalek was and is so great that the Torah tells us to obliterate the nation of Amalek and to never forget the evil deeds Amalek committed. His evil was so great that we are told in the Torah that wiping out Amalek meant leaving no trace of Amalek’s existence. “Nothing,” explain the sages, “could serve as a reminder of Amalek’s name—not even an animal about which it could be said, ‘This animal belonged to Amalek.”
It was the same tribe that King Saul battled hundreds of years later but, defying God’s command to destroy all of them, men, women, children, and animals, he spared their King, Agag, and with him, evil carried on hiding underground only to resurface. Saul could not wipe out the weakest. But, his inability to listen to God to destroy EVIL has led to the return of Amalek through time.
And today we are living with 21st century Amalekites, who, like their predecessors, go after the weakest; babies, women, children the elderly and even managed to take Holocaust survivors as hostages. Holocaust. The previous attack by the Amalekites under their King Hitler. Hitler – beloved by the Muslims. The photographs of Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, meeting with Adolf Hitler, or the wartime catchphrase “Allah above us in heaven, and Hitler with us on earth” testify to the strength of Muslims’ identification with the Nazi view of Jews.
The world responded to Nazism with firepower and then declared Nazis and white supremacists as evil. Yet, these same people give a pass to Islam?
What the heck is really going on? This explains it all. TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
NOV 1, 2023 – This is an edited and shortened version of one of the best articles I’ve ever read about how they built a “police state” in America and what we face in 2024. It was written by Sundance of the Conservative Treehouse long ago. If you don’t follow him – you should.
What better way to rig the 2024 election than launch another terror attack or bioweapon attack to take away our remaining liberties?

Shurat Hadin: ‘To defeat Hamas, we must isolate Qatar’ Yoni Kempinski
The director of the Shurat Hadin lawfare organization explains the legal front against Qatari institutions supporting Hamas.
Oct 31, 2023, 12:51 PM (GMT+2) – Atty. Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, President of the Shurat Hadin organization which seeks to utilize court systems around the world against Israel’s enemies, spoke with Israel National News – Arutz Sheva about the organization’s legal efforts to support the war against Hamas.
“We are calling on lawyers to join the fight for Israel after the horrific pogrom of Oct. 7,” Nitsana said. “The war will, ultimately, be decided by international law. To allow the military to achieve their goal of eliminating Hamas completely, we have to push back on any international pressure that’s been put on IDF soldiers to end the war early due to war crimes or harm to civilians. We go to the international courts and show who is the real war criminal. We file lawsuits against Hamas leaders for their atrocities, which are war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
Nitsana explained why a terrorist organization would be affected by court proceedings: “If we can get arrest warrants, the member-states of this court will have to arrest the terrorist involved. This is also true for Interpol – if the international court issues an international warrant, any country signed on Interpol will need to arrest them.”

Qatar, she said, is the organization’s primary target: “Qatar is the mother of Hamas. They gave Hamas money and oil and supported them from beginning to end. If you want to eliminate Hamas, you need to fight Qatar.”
Passivity is Killing Us by Victor Rosenthal
November 1, 2023 – Israel’s defensive strategy in recent years has been primarily passive. Passive defense does not target an enemy, but puts obstacles in his path. Our passive defenses include security barriers on our borders, with a billion-dollar one under and above the ground next to Gaza. We have built a technological marvel of a layered anti-missile defense system. Such means can – sometimes and to some extent – mitigate the damage that an enemy can do, and are an important part of a country’s defensive strategy. But even when they are successful, they do not deter or weaken the enemy. Indeed, they encourage him to improve his technology and his tactics and try again.
In the early days of the State of Israel, there were no Iron Domes or sensor-laden fences. We responded to terrorist attacks by vicious retaliation – for example, by the famous Unit 101, commanded by Ariel Sharon. That is active defense. Active defenses also have a flaw, especially for a country with little strategic depth, which is that an enemy can do a great deal of damage by a surprise attack before a response can be mounted. But an active defense has deterrent power that passive means do not. And, most importantly: a passive defense alone never won a war. The RAF won the Battle of Britain, but it took land invasions from the east and west to defeat the Nazis.
Over-reliance on passive defense can be dangerous. The Maginot and Bar-Lev lines were circumvented, and the Gaza fence penetrated. Iron Dome can be overwhelmed by mass launches of rockets, and is economically unsustainable. Hamas’ success in its murderous attack on southern Israel was made possible in large measure by our overemphasis, over a period of years, on passive tactics. With each round of fighting, Hamas improved its ability to get rockets through the Iron Dome. Because we haven’t seriously tried to destroy its infrastructure, Hamas was able to build and improve the tunnel system that we are now paying in Israeli lives to destroy. And because of our arrogance and overconfidence, the astronomically expensive security barrier proved almost worthless.
And there is another aspect that must be considered: the psychological effect, not just in Israel, but throughout the world. It has become generally accepted that Israel is a target, in way that Russia, for example, could never be. It became understandable that “frustrated” Palestinians could launch thousands of rockets at us while we bombed empty buildings in return, or Houthis in Yemen could launch Iranian missiles at our cities from 2000 km. away. Why not? We didn’t retaliate seriously.
Jonathan Pollard: Helicopter Pilots Were Given Stand Down Order
November 1, 2023
In a recent interview, Jonathan Pollard explicitly confirmed the only plausible explanation for what happened on Simchas Torah: there was a stand down order while thousands of Jews in dozens of communities were brutally murdered, tortured, raped, mutilated, and dragged off to Gaza.
The vital clip is available here, and a link to the complete interview with Kofy Time TV is in the description.
As copious video evidence has shown, the savages conducted their rampage methodically and at great leisure, without concern that an overwhelming military response was likely to arrive any moment. They somehow knew they had time to sit down and eat, take smoking breaks, pose for videos, loot the dead, and torture many of their victims.
If you managed, in spite of all odds, to break into Fort Knox, you wouldn’t take your sweet time.
Unless, of course, you knew with absolute certainty that the cavalry wouldn’t be coming for a while, because certain people in the highest positions of power made sure of it. As Pollard states:
“…It took six hours for any reaction to occur, when the army and air force bases were within earshot of what was going on. I have friends who were helicopter pilots, attack pilots, who were sitting in their cockpits ready to take off, fully loaded, ready to stop them at the fence. They didn’t get their orders for six hours.
“They could hear it. They could hear the fighting! They were called by friends in the border kibbutzim and moshavim that were being overrun and slaughtered, saying ‘Help us! Please! They’re killing our children!’
“They weren’t given permission to take off. That will haunt my friends [sic] for the rest of his life. He feels personally responsible for many deaths because of that – wrongly.”
I respectfully disagree with Mr. Pollard. The helicopter pilots and others who obeyed orders to stand down while their friends and neighbors were crying out for help are personally responsible. The people who gave them this order, and all those who relayed it down the chain of command, are most responsible, of course, and these people must be identified, apprehended, interrogated, and brought to justice immediately, BEFORE we deal with out enemies in Gaza and elsewhere. We cannot continue to have these people in positions of power, giving orders to our family and friends in the army and playing with the lives of our people.
No one who is likely to be culpable in this matter should even be allowed to leave the country.
However, those who obeyed the order to stand down are guilty as well. The Rambam writes as follows in Hilchos Retzicha Ushemiras Nefesh (the laws of murderers and guarding life) 1:14:
Anyone who is able to save [the life of one who is being pursued by a murderer] and does not save him transgresses the commandment “Do not stand idly over the blood of your fellow”. Similarly, one who sees his friend drowning in the sea, or armed bandits are coming upon him, or a wild animal is coming upon him, and he is able to save him personally or hire others to save him and does not save him, or he heard that goyim or mosrim [traitors] are plotting evil against him, or laying a trap for him, and he doesn’t reveal this to his friend and inform him…and all things such as this, one who does them [refrains from helping], transgresses “Do not stand idly over the blood of your fellow”.
The Rambam further states in 1:16:
Even though one doesn’t get lashes for violating these negative commandments, because there is no action involved, they are very severe, for anyone who causes one Jewish life to be lost is as if he destroyed the entire world, and anyone who sustains one life from Israel is as if he sustained the entire world.
There is no way to mitigate this. Those who followed orders while their brothers and sisters were being maimed and slaughtered share responsibility. They should be haunted by this for the rest of their lives, they are useless as soldiers – honestly, who needs soldiers who stand down like that? – and there is only one way for them to partially atone for their sins at this time.
But there is another angle to this that is perhaps even more disturbing. This was an extremely intricate operation. For it to succeed, numerous details needed to fall perfectly into place; even one hiccup could have thwarted the attack at the moat.
One of these critical details was that helicopter pilots who received distress calls and knew with certainty what was taking place would refrain from getting involved for many hours, until given explicit permission to do so. Whoever planned this operation – on whichever side of the border he may have been – and everyone up the chain of command had to be fully confident that soldiers in a position to thwart the attack would obey orders to stand down.
Sit quietly for a few minutes and chew on that. Let it fully sink in.
The indoctrination and conditioning are so deep that everyone up the chain of command knew that helicopter pilots were fully loaded and ready to go, but would ignore calls for help and let their people die. They knew with certainty that, in the moment of truth, our soldiers would be good little boys and girls and do what they’re told, no matter what.
Indeed, in the aftermath of this massacre, they are continuing to do just that, without regard for who is giving them the orders or their legitimacy to continue giving orders to anyone.
The IDF is not a Jewish army. It is a cult of obedience. While thousands of our people were abandoned to some of the most evil, savage creatures on earth, those who could have stopped it stood down – because that’s what good soldiers do.
May Hashem save us first and foremost from our enemies from within. May He rescue our relatives and friends from the cult of following orders, especially orders to stand idly while Jewish blood is being spilled. And may He avenge their blood from all those who bear responsibility.

[Ed.: This was obvious to many of us from the beginning of the attack on October 7th. We knew that this could not have happened otherwise. This Israeli deep-state government is enemy #1 for the Jewish People. The freakin’ A-rabs are merely #2. Jewish blood is cheapest in the so-called ‘Homeland’ of the Jews, the land of IINO.]
From a friend: On a podcast I listen to, the host had this question from a listener: “When do you think the US will have their first attack on our soil.” His response will make you round up your artillery. He had just received a text the night before from someone he trusted, but wouldn’t say his name. It’s likely a name we would know. What the guy shared was from a briefing with US Marine Force and US Israeli Mossad. He basically said that what happened in Israel on October 7 would pale to what is being planned in the US. There are sleeper cells across the country. If anything should happen to Iran there will be urban warfare. House to house. Neighborhood to neighborhood. In particular, stay away from LA, San Francisco, Santa Anna, and San Diego.
Paul Craig Roberts: ‘It is no longer correct to refer to any Western government as democratic: Every Western government is a budding tyranny’ LEO HOHMANN
And yet we go about our daily lives lying to ourselves and thinking we are free: Why?
OCT 31, 2023 – Paul Craig Roberts (pictured above), is the esteemed chairman of the Institute for Political Economy, an economist, educator and former assistant secretary of the Treasury under President Ronald Reagan. He authored an essay on October 30, 2023, in which he declared it is no longer correct to refer to the Western nations as “free.”
I’m glad someone of Roberts’ stature has finally recognized the obvious. I’ve been referring to the U.S. and its allies for the last three years or more as the “formerly free Western world.”
In his column, Roberts linked to one of my previous articles about the arrest of freedom advocate Reiner Fuelmich as just one example proving his case that the Western nations are no longer “free,” at least not by any clear-thinking person’s assessment.
My question is, why do the bulk of Americans, Canadians, Brits, Germans, Frenchmen, Italians and Australians still believe they are free? Are they so influenced by their educational indoctrination, their pampered upbringing and the media gaslighting that they have lost touch with reality?
Do they perhaps know they are not free but just don’t care, having long since been stripped of any ability to feel the joys of freedom by the nihilistic nature of today’s society?
Maybe they, as Aldous Huxley suggested, have learned to enjoy their enslavement in the modern technocratic society, where there are plenty of bread and circuses to keep their minds off the unpleasant nature of their existence.

Hezbollah & Hamas are here! TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
OCT 31, 2023 – Do I know for a fact that this is true? No, but all indications are that it is.

BLM-ANTIFA-HAMAS-HEZBOLLAH are all playing for the same team and they are NOT on America’s side.

I know that many people don’t like to hear this stuff. They’d rather avert their eyes. But, I think you need to be aware and alert.
What can you do? Pray, prepare, stock up, protect your families & buy more guns and ammo. Preparation is not fear. It’s common sense.
TONY SERUGA: Israel and Ukraine are just distractions from the great tyranny right here at home. America is being destroyed from within.

Iran’s Jihad against the West Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger
October 31, 2023
The Iran-Hamas-US connection
*National Security advisor Jake Sullivan said in an October 10, 2023 White House press briefing: “Iran is complicit in this attack in a broad sense because they have provided training, they have provided capabilities, they have provided support, and they have had engagement and contact with Hamas over years and years. And all of that has played a role in contributing to what we have seen [on October 7].”
*Iran’s Ayatollahs, who have been courted and appeased by the West, are committed to bring the West – and especially “the Great American Satan” – to submission. They are the chief architects and enablers of the Israel-Hamas and Israel-Hezbollah wars, determined to escalate them into a regional pandemonium, which would undermine Western interests.
*Iran considers its military and financial support of Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists – as well as many terror entities in the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa and Latin America – as a means to fueling instability, toppling pro-US regimes, and severely downgrading the US’ strategic posture. Therefore, Iran has been – since the 1980s – an epicenter of global, anti-US terrorism, drug trafficking and proliferation of advanced military systems. Iran’s rogue foreign and national security policy has been matched by its rogue domestic policy, which has been replete with ruthless oppression and suppression of the population, in general, and religious and ethnic minorities and especially women, in particular.
However, irrespective of this rogue policy, the US adheres to the diplomatic option, which has bolstered the Ayatollahs’ global posture since their ascension to power in 1979. Moreover, the US’ response to sustained Iranian attacks on US installations in the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Syria has been restrained, further eroding its posture of deterrence. Furthermore, the US has lifted most sanctions against the rogue Ayatollahs and is eagerly seeking another nuclear accord with Tehran.
*The lifting of most sanctions without Congressional consent – especially on the exportation of oil and natural gas – has enabled Iran to supply Hezbollah, Hamas and additional terror organizations and drug traffickers more advanced military systems (e.g., missiles, drones, electronics and explosives) to the detriment of the US and its allies, such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and Israel.
*”Iran’s oil exports have increased more than threefold over the past 3 years, a consequence of relaxed US sanctions enforcement…. US sanctions imposed in 2018 and 2019 severely constricted Iranian exports of crude oil. Exports fell well below 500,000 barrels per day from a pre-sanctions peak of 2.7 million barrels per day…. Even though negotiations to revive the nuclear agreement have failed, Iran’s oil exports continue to increase, as Washington opts not to enforce the sanctions. As of September 2023, Iranian exports are estimated at close to 1.5 million barrels per day or higher [at the current $90 per barrel, at least $50 billion annual income].” According to Reuters, August 31, 2023, Iran exports 3.15 million barrels per day.
Iran’s narco-Jihad against the USA
*Recently, Iran’s Ayatollahs and their Hezbollah proxy have stepped up their drug trafficking, money laundering and terror activities. They have expanded collaboration with Mexico’s drug cartels (e.g., Los Zetas and Sinaloa), training them in car bombing, and smuggling the highly addictive methamphetamine across the border to the USA. This is an extension of their Latin American narco-terror operation, which is centered in the Tri-Border areas of Argentina- Paraguay-Brazil, as well as Chile-Peru-Bolivia.
*The Ayatollahs and Hezbollah leaders have concluded that narcotic trafficking may be more effective than guns in bringing the Western “infidel” to submission.
*According to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Iran and Hezbollah established close collaboration with drug cartels in Mexico, Columbia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Brazil [and the Albanian Mafia], exporting cocaine to the US and Europe, and developing the most sophisticated money laundering schemes through Lebanon. They have managed to smuggle illegal immigrants from the Middle East into the USA, bolstering their terroristic and drug trafficking infrastructure in the USA.
*Venezuela has been an effective gateway for Iran into South, Central and North America, issuing false passports to Iranian and Hezbollah terror and drug trafficking operatives. It has also provided Iran with a business and military foothold close to the shores of “the Great American Satan.” The heavy traffic of IranAir planes between Iran and Venezuela has not been limited to innocent passengers…
Iran’s fanatic vision transcends Israel
*According to Dr. Yaron Friedman, a Haifa University expert on Islam and the Middle East, the driving force of Iran’s Ayatollahs is a 1,400-year-old vision, which transcends economic and diplomatic benefits and is not centered on Israel, but on the world at large, with a focus on the “infidel” West.
Wider War Will Bring Inevitable Attempts At Martial Law In America by Brandon Smith
SUNDAY, OCT 29, 2023 – 04:01 PM – Not long ago at the height of fear over the global pandemic the US underwent a change that many people argued would never happen. For years I have heard people say that authoritarian controls in America are “tinfoil hat conspiracy theory” and doom mongering – All the prepping, all the talk of community organizing, all the guns and the gear and the training were for nothing.
Then…the covid agenda hit like a freight train.
Our constitutional rights were no longer set in stone, but mere guidelines that government officials could bend or break in the name of “public health safety.” Laws no longer had to be passed through a series of checks and balances; mandates could be implemented as if they were laws without public oversight and enforced unilaterally.
There was talk (primarily among Democrats) of severe punishments for people who refused the pointless covid vaccines. They wanted vaccine passports, they wanted prison time for those that spoke publicly against the vax, they wanted people’s jobs taken away, they wanted their children taken away, and there were even plans to build covid detention centers to segregate and lock up “vax deniers.”
It boggles the mind, but this was serious debate within the US and it was all triggered in the span of a year. Nearly half the country was willing to abandon the Bill of Rights over a virus with a survival rate of 99.8%. The conspiracy theorists were right all along; our freedoms rest on a razor’s edge and preparing to survive and fight for those freedoms is perfectly rational.
Luckily, the covid agenda failed. The mandates were ultimately blocked by red states and in many rural areas they were barely enforced at all. Biden’s vaccine passport attempt was stopped cold by the Supreme Court, but I have long believed that the Supreme Court made this decision exactly because of the level of public resistance. They knew if they pressed the issue, civil war was on the table.
Medical authoritarianism collapsed because conservatives and independents were not onboard and they could not be shamed into compliance.
So many coincidences Chananya Weissman
The following video (in Hebrew) is a must watch:
Can it be? A collection of questions are forbidden to be asked regarding the October 7 attack.
Below is an English translation of the many “coincidences” that are mentioned in the video, each of which is supported with evidence. I leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions and take appropriate measures.
It could all be a coincidence that this war was already written about in the 18th century by the known Freemason Albert Pike.
And maybe it’s a coincidence that American international security advisor Henry Kissinger said 10 years ago that in 10 years Israel will cease to exist.
And maybe it’s a coincidence that the Prime Minister met with Kissinger 9 days before the massacre.
And maybe it’s a coincidence that the Prime Minister also testified 3 years ago they suggested he make a move that would set the entire Middle East on fire.
And maybe it’s a coincidence that the European Union supplied Gaza with paragliders 3 months before the attack.
And it could also be a coincidence that Walla writer Amir Bohbot uploaded a video a few days before the massacre: “Forget about Hamas, the story is here. Head of Military Intelligence, you played it.”
And it could also be a coincidence that a video was uploaded from the party a few hours before it about an attack that was going to take place.
And it could also be a coincidence that the best intelligence in the world didn’t know about the largest and most well-planned massacre in history.
It could be a coincidence that the intelligence missed the largest terrorist attack in Israel’s history when the head of Zaka, Yehuda Meshi, openly testified that they are informed in advance about every attack.
And maybe it’s a coincidence that specifically this time the intelligence also didn’t pay attention to Egyptian intelligence that warned about it.
And it could also be that just by coincidence the IDF didn’t pay attention to the fact that Hamas was taking down their cameras from the fence.
And maybe it’s a coincidence that Israeli intelligence didn’t think thing much of something that even an ordinary observer understood! And even warned about it!
And it could also be a coincidence that even the second warning did light a red alert by anyone.
And it could also be a coincidence that a few weeks before the massacre the observation balloons by the Gaza border were taken out of service, and the IDF chose to postpone taking care of them in spite of all the warnings.
And it’s also a total coincidence that even the intelligence forces of the Shabak didn’t function.
And it could also be a coincidence that a horrible order was given to the local task forces that they are forbidden to keep weapons in their homes.
And it could also be a coincidence that no one was on standby that morning.
And it could also be a coincidence that the entire top brass of Israeli security was on vacation that morning – the very morning that was full of severe alerts and warnings.
And it could also be a coincidence that 3 months before the massacre they took away the license from one of the most important people in the area to listen in on Hamas communications and report to the IDF.
And it could also be a coincidence that they ignored for more than a year the warnings of Raphael Hion, who heard Hamas speaking explicitly about what they were planning to do.
And it could also be a coincidence that the intelligence didn’t know about this secret plan that was broadcast on Arab television a few days before it happened.
And it could also be a coincidence that they made a mistaken decision not to update anyone about their conclusion that it seemed there would a battle on Shabbos in the Gaza envelope.
And it could also be a coincidence that by mistake an order was issued for the media not to publicize the infiltration of terrorists and thereby to save the lives of citizens!!
And it could also be a coincidence that the helicopters that arrived received a horrible order not to get involved in the battle.
And maybe by mistake, by coincidence that the army issued statements that they didn’t know what was going on for many hours when at that very time countless soldiers were already updated beginning that morning.
And it could be totally by coincidence that the terrorists felt so comfortable, as if they knew that no one was chasing after them.
And it could also be a coincidence that specifically that day the female observers didn’t see all those hundreds of terrorists, bikes, jeeps, parachutes, and thousands of citizens.
And it could also be a coincidence that specifically that day no one rushed to the fence.
And it could also be a coincidence that all the alerts of the female observers that they issued mere hundreds of meters from the fence simply didn’t get passed along any further.
And it could also be a coincidence that five female observers who were taken away on a helicopter have disappeared without a trace.
And it could also be a coincidence that no one properly realized that it would be appropriate to rush over the air force and stop all those terrorists already at the beginning.
And it could also be a coincidence that the army took so many hours to absorb the fact that they were STILL murdering men and taking women and children hostage – after 27 HOURS!!!

Tribal Warfare by Victor Rosenthal
October 30, 2023 – The deliberate viciousness of the attack by Hamas on southern Israel was an announcement of the tribal nature of the conflict. Although it is true that the initial assault troops were followed by a civilian rabble that participated joyfully in the mass murder, rape, and looting, the Hamas soldiers themselves received explicit orders (this is documented) to perpetrate a terrorist massacre with all the trimmings, and they did so exceeding the expectations of their commanders.
This wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t merely an outburst of the hatred that is drilled into all Gazans by their Hamas-controlled (and UN-supported) educational system, although that is what made it possible for human beings to become monsters. The savagery was fully intended by the Hamas leadership.
A tribal war is fought for territory, but it is also fought for honor. And honor is gained (or in the case of Palestinians, lost honor is regained) by humiliating the enemy. And this is done here in the Middle East by exaggerated cruelty, especially to the weakest elements of the enemy tribe. That’s why Hamas fighters and their followers tortured women in unmentionable ways and overcame the normal human resistance to hurting children and the elderly.
There is little distinction between civilians and soldiers in tribal warfare, except insofar as soldiers are considered more dangerous. An enemy is an enemy, and you kill enemies.

What Would King David Do? Chananya Weissman
April 10, 2023 – In this age of instant reactions and herd mentality, we need to step back and ask a simple question: What would King David do?
I encourage everyone to read through the parts of Shmuel and Divrei Hayamim that cover King David’s life. Even a superficial reading will fill you with true Jewish feeling and thinking, and an occasional refresher course will fortify your mind against un-Jewish ideas.
King David would not plead with the United Nations to condemn the recent slaughter of Jews in Israel. Under his watch, Israel would have nothing to do with the wicked farce that is the United Nations, let alone grovel for their recognition, sympathy, or approval.
King David would not plead with world leaders to issue statements in support of Israel. He would not ask them to affirm Israel’s right to exist or Israel’s right to defend itself. Who does that? How pathetic!
King David would not freeze construction of homes in any part of Israel, ever, in order to mollify those who don’t want Jews living there. Who ever heard of such a thing? How could a leader of any country adopt such a policy and face his people, or even himself?
King David would not respond to the slaughter of Jews by granting approval for limited construction of additional homes. One builds homes for his people because that’s what normal people do, not as a punishment to those who murder his people. Do you think the bloodthirsty Arabs are deterred because of this? Do you think they ever sat around planning a terrorist attack, and then called it off because an apartment was approved in some border town in response to the last one?
Do you think they quake in fear because we quickly clean up the aftermath of a terrorist attack and “go back to normal”, proclaiming that killing our people won’t deter the rest of us from going on living? Do you think that deters them? “Oh no, the Jews cleaned up the blood! They are drinking coffee and shopping again! Why should we bother killing more of them?”
Our enemies laugh at us. They scorn us. And they are right. We are fools and losers for pretending this is an act of defiance or deterrence.
Our enemies would not laugh at King David. They would cower in fear at the very mention of his name.
ALARMING OBSERVATION by Ed., the Daily Shmutz Editor
Here is the reader count since last night for the different categories posted in the Daily Shmutz:
COMMENTARY / OPINION 64
GEOENGINEERING WEATHER 11
COVID-19 10
NEWS 0 (!!)
ISRAEL 9 (??)
What’s wrong with this picture?
I work my little tuchis off all day, every day for free, in order to bring you news and information that is not found in the main stream media. This is to help my readers connect the dots, and to have educated perceptions of our rapid demise. When I see zero reads for the NEWS, it tells me ‘We don’t need no stinkin’ news’! When I see nine reads for Israel, I wonder where are all those Christians who just “LOVE Israel” at this pivotal point in our history and our future? ‘We don’t need no stinkin’ news about Israel!’ How can you connect the dots if you ignore the most important ones?
“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink!”
I do not expect to reach everybody, and I will have reached my goal if I even reach one of you! And toward that goal I will continue to work as hard as I can. But I strongly recommend that you read the NEWS and ISRAEL categories first, because they are the ones that will effect you first (besides GEOEGINEERING / WEATHER, of course).

Chomp Chomp, Gulp Gulp By James Howard Kunstler
October 28, 2023 – “Remember the good ole’ days when we lived in a country where no one had the answer to this baffling question: How could something like the Holocaust happen?” — John Nolte, Breitbart
Of course, you realize that if this tragic business in the Middle East gets out of hand millions of people might die, maybe even you and me. Any way you cut it, looks like Islam wants to rumble. Basic problem: the little slab of land on the Mediterranean at issue is in the possession of one group of people and another group of people wants to drive them out. There is no “two state solution” because there is only one place in that place.
The world has already forgotten the butchery of October 7. Islam won’t even go so far as to acknowledge that something happened there, or that it matters. This is a quandary for Western Civ which operates lately on the ethos that anything goes and nothing matters. Face it: that’s a luxury belief. A society in collapse learns painfully that the first thing to go is luxury, Louis Vuitton bags and foolish Woke thinking. Western Civ may not be able to pretend any longer that nothing matters.
The reason Israel is where it is is because Western Civ treated the Jews abominably in the 1930s and 40s. The result, establishing a state of Israel in its historic location, was a power move, of course, by the powers who won the Second World War, but it had the imprimatur of a sacred duty. We’ve forgotten the impact, even to regular grunt US soldiers who liberated the extermination camps of Europe, of the unspeakable barbarism they encountered. It maimed the psyche of Western Civ to discover what savagery its best educated member nation turned out to be capable of. Is there any question that Germany lost its mind in those years?
Western Civ has been busy losing its mind for about seven years now. It’s so tormented that it has been flirting with suicide, for instance, allowing its borders to be overwhelmed with swarms of declared antagonists to Western culture. The European Union guilt-tripped themselves into letting that happen. The process in the USA appears more sinister and calculated, a sheer political ploy. In any case, nobody is lifting a finger to stop it.Israel is a full-fledged member of that lunatic asylum. Israel is engaged in as much of a civil war between Left and Right as its godfathers in Europe and North America are enduring. On top of that, Israel decided to become the poster-child for Covid-19 vaccination “uptake.” It seemed like a valiant stand in the first flush of the Covid “crisis,” but now it looks more like they poisoned more than 90-percent of their population. You don’t hear much about it these days, but it’s lurking there, just like the massive vaccine damage that Europe and America have by stealth sustained lurks in the background of rising war fever and disintegrating economies.
Escalations Cannot Be Stopped – The White House Is Rattled; Escalations Might All Fuse Into ‘One’ By Alastair Crooke
October 28, 2023 – Tom Friedman uttered his dire warning in the New York Times on Thursday last:
“I believe that if Israel rushes headlong into Gaza now [unilaterally] to destroy Hamas — it will be making a grave mistake that will be devastating for Israeli interests and American interests”.
“It could trigger a global conflagration and explode the entire pro-American alliance structure that the U.S. has built…I am talking about the Camp David peace treaty, the Oslo peace accords, the Abraham Accords and the possible normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. The whole thing could go up in flames.
“Unfortunately, the senior U.S. official told [Friedman], Israeli military leaders are actually more hawkish than the prime minister now. They are red with rage and determined to deliver a blow to Hamas that the whole neighbourhood will never forget”.
Friedman here is talking, of course, about an American alliance system, pivoted around the idea of Israel’s military prowess being invincible – the ‘Little NATO’ paradigm that acts as the essential substrata for the spread of the American-led Rules Order through West Asia.
It is analogous to the substrata of the NATO alliance, whose claimed ‘unchallengeability’ has underpinned U.S. interests in Europe (at least until the Ukraine war).
One Israeli Cabinet member put it to the veteran Israeli defence correspondent Ben Caspit that Israel just cannot permit its long-term deterrence being undermined:
US Leadership Wreaks Mayhem and Destruction Across the World By Vasko Kohlmayer
October 28, 2023 – “US leadership holds the world together,” declared Joe Biden in a recent televised address to the nation.
Of all the untruths that Joe Biden has uttered in his term as president this one is perhaps the most egregious. It is enough to look at the past two decades to see just how wrong President Biden’s claim is.
Instead of holding the world together, America’s political leadership has, in fact, inflicted wholesale chaos, death, and destruction in many places across the globe. It has attacked and invaded sovereign nations, shattered societies, created instability and caused the deaths of millions.
One Mistake Before Armageddon By Paul Craig Roberts
October 28, 2023 – Each of us faces each day threats to our health, happiness, and life. Overarching it all, we collectively face death from nuclear weapons.
The development of nuclear weapons was a human stupidity. They cannot be used, but their existence threatens the life of the planet. So why have them? Accident, emotional response, loss of reason are all human faults that can come into play at any time.
During the 20th century Cold War these dangers were underlined by the Cuban Missile Crisis. President Nixon led the way to sanity with arms control agreements with the Soviet Union and his opening to China. Presidents Carter and Reagan kept the momentum going for reduced tensions and peaceful coexistence.
The turnaround came with the Soviet collapse. The neoconservatives took advantage of Russian weakness and prevailed on President Clinton to break the promise given by the George H.W. Bush administration to Gorbachev not to move NATO to Soviet borders if Gorbachev permitted the reunification of Germany. The George W. Bush and Obama administrations continued the hostile policy that Clinton renewed.
Today all the arms control agreements that reduced tensions and the danger of nuclear confrontation are erased. The last one–never ratified by the US–was revoked by the upper house of Russia’s parliament last Wednesday. Tass, the Russian news agency, reported that “Achieving the goal of preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons is not deemed possible in the current international situation, given the destructive position of the United States.”
We Are About To Witness One of the Most Pivotal Moments in Modern History By Michael Snyder
October 28, 2023 – Most people don’t seem to realize that one of the most important moments that any of us have ever witnessed is about to happen. When the Israeli invasion of Gaza officially commences, nothing will ever be the same from that point forward. The entire Middle East will erupt in flames and the global economy will go completely haywire. But Israel doesn’t have a choice in this matter. If our babies were killed, our women were raped and our grandmothers were kidnapped, we would be going to war with Hamas too. Unfortunately, much of the Islamic world is uniting behind Hamas, and so Israel could soon find itself literally fighting a war of national survival.
I know that Israel does not want to fight a multi-front war against multiple Islamic enemies.
But once again, after what Hamas just did to Israeli women and children, there is no choice.
Hamas must be destroyed, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that the timing of the ground invasion has been decided…
The Day After by Victor Rosenthal
October 29, 2023 – I’m going to make this short, because it really is simple.
After Hamas is completely extirpated from Gaza, militarily and politically, and its leadership wiped out, then what?
The Biden Administration wants to see the Palestinian Authority put in control, which, they think, will finally enable the two-state solution they have been trying to impose since the 1970s. Israel cannot allow this.
The PA, dominated by the terrorist organization Fatah, is no more prepared to suffer a Jewish state next door than Hamas. The only thing that prevents PA Arabs from doing precisely the same thing that Hamas did on 7 October is the day in, day out activity of the Shabak and the IDF to arrest or kill terrorists and interrupt their plans.
If you don’t believe this, look at what the PA says in its own media. But even if this weren’t true, and the PA actually was a “moderate” institution interested in peaceful development of a Palestinian state, what prevents it from being taken over by extremists? After all, this is precisely what happened in Gaza after Israel withdrew its soldiers, expelled its civilians by force, and even exhumed its dead from Gazan cemeteries in 2005 (think about why this last step was necessary).
As long as there is Palestinian sovereignty in Gaza, there is no doubt that it will develop into a base for terrorism. Those residents of the Western Negev that survived the pogrom of 7 October will not return. In effect Israel will cede a large part of her country to her enemies.
One the dumbest people on the planet.
