Iran’s intense, zero-casualty missile attack puts Israel in a precarious position

Iran’s missile strike on Saturday was a spectacular visual spectacle, sending crowds of Israelis scattering in both Israel and the West Bank. Israel’s Iron Dome was revealed to be vulnerable, as at least 7 Iranian missiles hit their targets cleanly. The entire purpose of the response appeared to be to reveal to the world that Israel’s much-lauded Iron Dome could be overwhelmed by a cluster attack of cheap drones, allowing real missiles an opening to strike. More spectacularly was the total lack of lives lost, unless Israel is purposely concealing any military deaths. Iran struck the bases from which were launched the jets that bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria. There was no berserker rage-murder of hundreds of Israelis. On the contrary, Iran’s attack was probably the most civilized military counterattack in history. Iran knows that Israeli bodies, any Israeli bodies at all, would galvanize the world against them.

But the casualty-free attack has deeply embarrassed Israel, and placed them in a very precarious position. Their pride demands a response, but they know that an IDF response will take Iranian civilian lives. They know that another casualty-heavy strike against Iran will bring out a real counterattack, one that will inflict serous casualties, while mobilizing the much larger nation against tiny Israel. This would be a no-turning-back moment, and war between the two would be inevitable. As much as Israel loves to beat its chest, at its heart, it’s ruled by a nation of cowards.

The world has seen the weakness of the Iron Dome, and the civility of Iran. My guess is that the next step will be a very mild counterattack by Israel, followed by another mild counterattack by Iran, as both lie in wait for the other to deal a casualty-heavy blow.

In a close-quarters fight, a blade is far more deadly than a gun

This is most insane instances of self-defense with a knife that I’ve ever seen. A single middle-aged man effectively defends himself against a gaggle of drunken teenaged animals with a pocket knife, killing one in the process. He goes from victim, who would’ve probably been drowned by the mob, to victor in a span of 20 seconds.

Everyone talks about concealed carry pistols. Carry a knife instead. Knives are far more natural to use than a gun. To defend yourself with a knife just pull it out and let nature take over. A gun requires a steady hand and training, both of which fly out the window in a street fight.

Will the West really allow Israel to keep Gaza? Will the Arab world?

I find it impossible to believe that the world will allow Israel to occupy and redevelop Gaza once their slow motion genocide of the Palestinian people is complete. In six months, all of Gaza will be vacant, the remaining Palestinians having either died of hunger or fled to Egypt. The rubble of a once beautiful civilization will be bulldozed, and the plans will be laid to redevelop the area at will. I’m having a hard time believing that this will be allowed to occur.

The Gaza genocide has been documented in high definition. The laughing psychopathy of Israeli soldiers and settlers as they commit their crimes is all on record. The numbers of the innocent dead, including 15,000 children, are there for the world to boggle over. How anyone, much less the Mid-East states, can allow Israel the land whose residents they’ve so gleefully butchered, is beyond me. What is preventing Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen from uniting to deliver a final, crippling blow to the Squatter State? Is it really the fear of a U.S. reprisal? Probably so. Unlike Israel, these other nations fear high casualties among their own citizens in a counterattack. I don’t believe that Najib Mikati in Lebanon, Khamenei in Iran, Assad in Syria, or Abdul Al-Houthi in Yemen, to be particularly psychotic. But they’re dealing with a US-backed Joker State that is prepared to take themselves out if it means taking everyone else out. An Arab coalition could eliminate the Dimona nuclear facility, but that doesn’t eliminate the risk of nuclear weapons. I’d wager that Israel already has nukes hidden at the heart of their enemies’ every major city.

Will Israel’s massacre and theft of Gaza be a red line for…anyone?

Another reason to erase the internet

This is a consequence of allowing your prepubescent child to develop an extreme porn addiction. This child is psychologically scarred for life, and he apparently doesn’t have parents who are able to rehabilitate him, and will instead indulge him. But then again, they gave him the digital drug, to be used at will. All from a screen. Just a small flashing rectangle. The internet was a mistake, and it’s now taken over our lives. The bad outweighs the good, and in an ideal world it would destroyed and erased from memory.

Open criticism of Israel is approaching critical mass

The number of high profile individuals openly criticizing Israel’s prolonged massacre of Gaza’s captive population is moving towards critical mass. The taboo is being broken, accusations of anti-semitism are losing all potency, and greater numbers of people are waking up to the horrors that Israel has inflicted on so very many. History itself will shift once Israel loses credibility in the eyes of the West. We have Elon Musk to thank for saving free speech, which has allowed this mass awakening. Imagine a world with a neutralized Israel. Still in existence, but with its rabid creed of Zionism extinguished.

In our inclusive age, male discomfort takes precedent over female discomfort

To be a woman now means merely to don a sundress. Nothing more, apparently.

Lost history: Jewish terrorists sent letter-bombs to President Truman in 1947

The “Stern Gang”, Zionist terrorists who began their violent operations in the 40’s, mailed letter bombs to President Truman in an attempted assassination. The bombs were fortunately defused by the Secret Service before reaching the Oval Office. Similar letters were mailed to British officials, as the Irgun and Lehi (Stern) Zionist terrorist groups began targeting anyone believed to be an obstacle to a Jewish state in Palestine. The Lehi group was also responsible for the barbaric murder of Folke Bernadotte, a Swedish diplomat who, during World War 2, negotiated the release of over 30,000 Nazi concentration camp prisoners. Bernadotte had been sent to mediate between Palestinian and Zionist leaders in hopes of reaching a fair compromise.

This history is completely lost, and instead we get a condensed version that the average middle-aged adolescent American can digest, along with the vicious, infantile slogans and bromides regarding “America’s greatest ally”, and “the most moral army in the world”. Sure, but an ally who tries to kill our Presidents, or may even had a hand in the successful assassination of Kennedy.
