Has Trump blown the call on Iran?

Here's their (Iran's) win profile:

Some version of the regime that was in place remains in place.

The terrorism arm of that regime, the IRGC, not unlike Hitler's SS, remains in place.

The muslim terrorist minority remains in charge.

In time, they believe (rightly) that Trump will both be gone (ASAP if you're one of the leftists infesting this page) either by the completion of his term, natural causes or, the preferred method of the left, assassination.

At some point, a fringe-left moron ala Biden/Obama could be elected. When that happens, the terrorists now running Iran will go back to business as usual. As a result, they will either buy or build a nuclear weapon while WE write "strongly worded letters."

Americans have frequently proven we're possessed of the attention span of a gnat.

These people are taking the long view, as so many of our opponents do, having learned from the outcomes of Afghanistan where we wasted troops and billions, only to simply walk away and hand it back to those we, allegedly, set out to destroy. All they have to do is stall and make enough promises to placate America to remain in control, knowing sooner or later we'll cave.

Both politics and wars are outcome-based business. The outcome here, as the outcome in Afghanistan, accomplishes nothing without total regime change, (And yes, I know we HAD "regime change" in Afghanistan. But we also had Iran (and others) providing massive aid to the insurgents.) Had we done what we should have from the start, mainly stopped Iran (or anyone else) from providing aid to those insurgents, we may have had a different outcome.

This agreement appears to merely kick the can down the road while those in Iran who have wreaked so much murder and destruction, are not held accountable for their actions in any measurable way, beyond replacing those leaders killed in the bombings... replaced in large part by those just as militant in their hatred and sworn duty to provide "Death to America(tm)" as those they're replacing.

The still relatively-intact IRGC (because we allow them to exist) would not allow any others.to take power.

To illustrate these concerns, try super-imposing this exact, same, template over either nazi Germany or Imperial Japan in 1945.

To defeat our enemies in World War Two, we knew what we had to do. (The Potsdam Declaration comes to mind.)

Imagine for example, if we had stopped attacking the nazis in Germany in late 1944, say around the Battle of the Bulge days (mid December 1944), and left the nazis controlling Germany and their conquered lands in charge and just walked away... like we appear to be doing now. (And people should remember that the Germans were also busy trying to build atomic weapons.)

This is what Germany would have been allowed to keep:

This is what Japan would have been allowed to keep:

And yes, I totally get that WW2 was "different."

That these countries actively engaged in invasion and occupation of foreign countries as opposed to using surrogates to extend their political/religious control over other geographies in their region is the primary difference, but their aim is the same: complete control over that real estate in the region while combined with the destruction of countries Iran sees as obstructions to that dominance.

The MODE is the same. The only thing different is the means.

As a country, along with our allies, we refused to settle for anything less than total victory, and as a result, for the past 81 years or so, neither country has been able to engage in a war of conquest.

To suggest that believing the current agreement, as I understand it, will in any way deter Iran from either pursuing nuclear weapons OR engaging in terroristic hegemony is the height of foley.

There is only one way to achieve that goal: the complete eradication of the current political/military leadership of Iran and the elimination of the IRGC as any kind of effective force to carry out Iran's aims for regional dominance... Exactly like Germany and much of Japan.

Nothing short of that will do.

And this seems to be light years away from achieving that goal.

If one sees victory as merely a military exercise to inflict maximum damage on military targets to TEMPORARILY negatively impact those capabilities through the IRGC's destruction, then yes... it amounts to a victory by TEMPORARILY reducing those capabilities, ala Germany's war-fighting capability post Treaty of Versailles... because, for the most part, Germany remained unoccupied/unsupervised after World War One.

Had Germany been occupied post-World War One, there likely would not have BEEN a World War Two.

And World War Two was the result of that short-sighted insanity.

Failing to achieve absolute regime change... failing to hold those involved with terrorism, war crimes and reparations for the destruction Iran caused in the region guarantees a resurgence of similar efforts in the future... much like it would have been had we allowed World War Two to end without total occupation of the Axis Powers by effectively rewarding them with continuing dominance in Germany and Japan... Allowing those with similar views to continue both military and political dominance in Iran guarantees a resurgence of the same attitudes, visions and efforts to achieve the same impacts the pre-attack regime utilized.

In the long term, this effort appears to have solved/accomplished nothing.

As I've stated, if we know Iran will violate this "agreement," (and they will) then WTH is the point?

I supported Trump's efforts here. But I also see this as a miserable outcome compared to what we should have to show for this. 

Why is Trump doing what he's doing:

See, here's the thing. Because leftists hate Trump, nothing he does is "right" or acceptable to them. 

He wants to take out Iran to keep Iranians from getting nukes, something even fringe-left nutjobs like Obama and Biden worried about. Even that alcoholic Pole Dancer was worried.

But except for giving them billions of dollars in cash, what did they actually DO about it? 

Nothing. 

They TALKED a lotta shit, but they never DID shit, except to hand over pallets of cash... something else that didn't bother the left. 

So now, leftists blame Trump for high gas prices and the fight in Iran. 

It wasn't that long ago when gas prices blew up under Biden that we were all assured that presidents had no effect on those prices. 

If Trump had done EXACTLY the same thing their leftist heroes had done about Iran, and they managed to pop off one or more nukes in THIS country, they'd blame him for THAT as well. 

He can't win with the left. They're programmed to hate, and that's what they'll do, allowing nothing to get in the way of what they feel, geopolitical ignorance notwithstanding. 

Trump knows this. The hate-based politics of the left, including leftists wanting him DEAD, means they can't be "reached." They can't be "reasoned with." 

They have the same mentality as a hamas terrorist. 

So, he, rightfully, ignores what they want or don't want. Why should he care? He knows they all want him to fail. He knows they hate America and Jews and want this country to fail. He knows they put party ahead of country. He knows they hate the rich; except of course, billionaire democrats like JD Pritzker and Tom Steyer, and millionaires like Bernie... since to be a leftist is to be a hypocrite. 

So he's going to do what he thinks is right. 

The left hates so much, they're just background noise. 

And that is as it should be.

Tis the season. To avoid becoming a target.

Sadly, in addition to celebrating the birth of Jesus, it's the season to get shot by terrorists.

I've made it clear, and reiterate that in the modern era of crime generally and terrorism particularly, we all should be armed; an armed society being a polite society notwithstanding.

The point of this post is simple. And it can save your life.

Typically, we're going to a great many locations that shooters would tend to go... otherwise known as "soft targets."

There isn't enough security available to provide armed guards for them all.

If you react to the criminal activities of this era, then you're already armed.

You're not going to be wandering around with a locked and loaded M4 rifle. But you likely may have a handgun that you've practiced with, understand the function of, and can take off "safe" (if you carry with it in safe mode) and can operate in pitch darkness, without looking.

You're generally aware of cover and concealment that's available. You're generally aware of the people around you and ABSOLUTELY aware of where your family members in the soft target environment are at all times.

Which brings us to the point of this post.

Put yourself/family in situations like those of the recent shootings.

What.
Do.
YOU.
DO?
(The Bondi Beach massacre should put to rest the insane idea that either voluntary or involuntary DISARMAMENT somehow protects you OR society. See, the criminals/terrorists killing us really DON'T care about your anti-gun laws that we typically don't enforce regardless.)

The time to ponder these issues is NOT once the bullets start flying.

NOW is the time.

In a "negative shooting environment," there's only so many things you (or anyone else) CAN do.

My priorities are to protect my family and protect the innocents around me.

But what would you do to achieve that goal?

As it turns out, the massacre by Muslim terrorist shooters saw at least 3 heroes who disregarded their own safety in confronting and attempting to disarm those murdering unarmed people in a soft target environment.

All 3 were shot. Two of them were killed. The most successful was shot twice but ultimately disarmed one of the shooters. And it is of note that this man, Ahmed Ahmed, is a Muslim as well.

But these people didn't go through a checklist of religion or race before they acted.

They acted. They may not have thought through their efforts first.

But for the couple who wound up dead, their math was relatively simple: these guys are likely going to kill us anyway, so let’s go down swinging. And their effort, their sacrifice was as noble as that of any heroic figure who put the lives of the innocent ahead of their own.

The video of Ahmed indicates something different.

Unarmed, he had both cover AND concealment. Had he continued covered and concealed, he likely would have survived this shooting.

His math was different.

He instantly made the decision to likely risk/end his own life to stop the threat. He picked his spot.

And he acted.

And he nearly died in that process.

What would I have done in the same circumstance? What would you have done? What would you have your family do?

Well, if you’re armed, you can do a hell of a lot more than become a target.

I would like to believe that 8 years in combat arms provided me with the programming and abilities I would need, particularly since I would be armed and most shooters are NOT prepared for returned fire.

The situations go far beyond the “if only” phase post mortems once the smoke clears.

I’m not going to tell you what to do or not do. YOU have to find out on your own.

*I* know what *I* would do. And that would include defending your life with my own.

But that’s my PERSONAL decision, made not in the heat of the moment, but after a great deal of consideration, a great deal of training, a great deal and a great deal of studying the actions of those others pulling the triggers to make their political/religious/societal point.

NOW is the time to plan. NOW is the time to determine what you would or would not do. NOW is the time to discuss this with your family in an age-appropriate way. NOW is the time to, perhaps, introduce them to the reality of the world we live in today.

Since, if you find yourself in the midst of one of these situations, it’s way too late.

Why I don’t believe the hamas agreement will work.

A few months back, Trump was pushing Putin on a peace deal that would have permanently partitioned Ukraine into two separate entities, one in the Western sphere of influence, and the other permanently into the Russian camp. (The three western districts of Ukraine now occupied by the Russians, along with the Crimea that Obama gave them) the nexus of a minerals-for-peace deal. Not unlike the Czechoslovakian partition. Not unlike the partition of Poland post German invasion. (Few are aware that the Soviets were, effectively, bought by the Germans by giving them about half of Poland to occupy.)

I knew then, and repeatedly stated, that Trump was getting played.

Was he?  How much of that agreement is now in force?

None.

Much like this so-called deal with hamas terrorists, LLC.

Even the left seems giddy at the prospect of ending the war those they so whole-heartedly support actually started some 2 years ago, killing 1200, maiming 3400 and kidnapping 250 or so. In one day.

Rape and murder were the order of the day, and Gazans celebrated much like Germans did when they invaded Poland some 11 months after then Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain told the world he had achieved “peace in our time.”

Everyone seems focused on what we know of the “agreement.”

Some things are obvious:

1. Hamas exists to eradicate Israel. It’s a part of their charter as an organization.

“The original Charter identified Hamas as the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine and described its members to be god-fearing Muslims raising the banner of Jihad (armed struggle) in "the face of the oppressors". The 1988 charter defines the struggle to be against the Jews and calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic Palestinian state in all of former Mandatory Palestine, and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel.[4][5][6]”

2. Israel essentially gave up the Gaza strip, taken from Egypt in the 6 Day War of 1967. In 2005 in return for “peace.” Agreements were signed at that time that led Israel to engage in the forced removal of 10,000 Israeli settlers from the region.

“Palestinian Israeli withdrawal agreement 2005

The Palestinian-Israeli withdrawal agreement of 2005 involved Israel's unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip and the evacuation of Israeli settlements. This agreement was part of a broader peace process aimed at reducing conflict and shifting governance to the Palestinian Authority. However, the disengagement plan was controversial and led to Hamas's takeover of Gaza, turning the region into a hub for terrorism. The agreement aimed to improve Palestinian freedom of movement and economic activity within the Palestinian territories and to open the Rafah Crossing on the Gaza-Egypt border. Wikipedia+4”

3.  Since the so-called “land for peace” deal went through, the allegedly “peaceful” area of gaza has been the source of over 18,000 rocket and mortar attacks against Israel. Estimates are the 12% of these attacks resulted in misfires where the rockets actually landed on their fellow gazans, resulting in between 100 to 300 Gazan casualties.

“Since 2005, when Israel withdrew from Gaza, Hamas and other Gaza-based terrorist organizations have fired more than 18,000 rockets and mortars at Israel. These rockets have a variety of ranges, but overall, many can now hit a majority of Israel’s central and southern population centers, including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Beersheba, and Rehovot. Hamas’ launches have been erratic, however. There have been as few as one rocket fired at a time, to up to thousands launched within hours or even days. 

4. On October 7, 2023, the worst massacre against Jews since World War Two took place from these same gazans.  Gazans and others in the Muslim world celebrated for days at spilling the blood of and frequently raping Israeli civilians, including children.

“The attacks began with a barrage of at least 4,300 rockets launched into Israel^[31][32][33] and vehicle-transported and powered paraglider incursions into Israel.^[34][35] Hamas militants breached the Gaza–Israel barrier, attacking military bases and massacring civilians in 21 communities, including Be'eri, Kfar Aza, Nir Oz, Netiv Haasara, and Alumim. According to an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) report that revised the estimate on the number of attackers, 6,000 Gazans breached the border in 119 locations into Israel, including 3,800 from the elite Nukhba forces and 2,200 civilians and other militants.^[36][31][32] Additionally, the IDF report estimated 1,000 Gazans fired rockets from the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of participants on Hamas's side to 7,000.^[36][31][32]

In total, 1,195 people were killed by the attacks:^[24][h] 736 Israeli civilians (including 38 children),^[41][42] 79 foreign nationals, and 379 members of the security forces.^[43][i][44] While attending the Nova music festival, 364 civilians were killed and many more wounded.^[45][46] At least 14 Israeli civilians were killed by the IDF's use of the Hannibal Directive.^[47][48] About 250 Israeli civilians and soldiers were taken as hostages to the Gaza Strip.^{[33][49][50][51]} Dozens of cases of rape and sexual assault reportedly occurred, but Hamas officials denied the involvement of their fighters.
______________________________

Israel, rightfully, and finally, reoccupied the gaza strip, to seek out and destroy those involved in the planning and execution of the October 7 massacre.

It's clear they should have reoccupied the area the moment terrorists began implementing the 1988 hamas charter by firing missiles and mortars into Israel. Why they allowed the terrorist scum running gaza to fester to the point where their direct action would result in the spilling of blood on a massive scale is an as yet unanswered question.
Questions remain vis the issue of this massive intelligence failure of both Israel’s vaunted intelligence organs as well as the intel organizations of the United States.

Now, we find ourselves celebrating Trump’s efforts to implement peace in the region.

On the surface, this is a huge accomplishment. But the surface doesn’t concern me as much as the fine print.

ALL of those involved in the destruction of 2 years ago, from the planning to the logistics to the actual execution must be hunted down and removed. ALL of hamas must receive the same treatment they wished to impose on Israel, including hamas supporters.

Israel MUST reoccupy the entire area, permanently, and remove even the last vestiges of hamas control, not unlike the steps taken by the Allies at the end of World War Two.

ALL those involved with hamas need to be held accountable for both their actions and their associations, again, not unlike Allied actions at the end of World War Two.

And sadly, with hamas maintaining control over at least half of gaza, this agreement is doomed to failure.

We need to find out what US responsibilities are in the region. How much this is going to cost the taxpayers, for example. Does this deal involve military commitments on our part?

Where, when and how much?

And ultimately, when this agreement fails, as it will inevitably fail, then what?

These actions must take place for there to be any chance of actual peace in the region.

Anything less merely puts off the inevitable violations of the agreement. What do we do then?

This group, their financiers (Iran) and their supporters (most gazans at the beginning of Israeli retaliation, now? Not so much…) will not stop on their sworn mission of the destruction of Israel. At best, it will merely be a pause.

There’s a reason the phrase “we do not negotiate with terrorists” actually exists.

This is one of those times. And I fear both the US and Israel will regret this agreement which will automatically handcuff both us… and Israel… when it’s inevitably violated.

Did NYC sign their own death warrant yesterday?

Well, it would seem that NYC took the first step in becoming a shithole like London, by allowing a terrorist-supporting neocommunist thug to likely become mayor. This MAY, however, turn out differently due to NYC's adaptation of ranked choice voting.
Because no one achieved the 50% threshold, there is to be another round of voting. The lowest vote-getter is dropped from the ballot until someone achieves the 50%+1 vote level. There are enough votes available, were they to coalesce behind Cuomo (who, as bad as he is/may be, is light years ahead of this cancer on government) and ultimately, defeat a militant terrorist-supporting example of the nightmare of a junior AOC in government.

However, were this nimrod to BE elected, ultimately the few remaining sane NYC voters will come to regret this horrific choice. It is of note that people everywhere, including the State of Washington, have the government they deserve. With this moron running the show, NYC will serve as the test-tube for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-style destruction. And on the plus side, NYC'll serve as THE example of what can happen when voters become so apathetic they stay home.

Understandable, to be sure, but actions have consequences. And if those voting leftists last year in this state haven't felt those consequences yet HERE, they will soon feel it when their property taxes explode again, when energy prices explode again; when a massive decrease in AVAILABLE housing, let alone AFFORDABLE housing takes place as the leftist legislature continue their efforts to punish landlords, when democrats extort ever-increasing amounts of money through punishing taxes... much like the refinery tax scam and their incessant effort to steal even more money via an income tax that they'll never stop pushing... they soon will.

It's sad what they're doing to this state. What laws they ignore when it suits them, their aiding and abetting illegals, their support of terrorists who they allow free rein to riot, their support of criminals and the ever-increasing number of homeless... their light rail fetish wasting additional billions... their misguided and obviously unconstitutional efforts at taking our weapons away... and their ongoing efforts to punish those driving internal combustion-engined cars and trucks... our gasoline now among the most expensive in the United States as a result of this tax ripoff.

New York may soon come to find out what increasing lawlessness looks and feels like as this guy guts NYPD, were he to be elected.

How long until the National Guard has to be deployed to restore order? And then what? 

New Yorkers in this case DO need to vote as if their lives depended on it. Because it's pretty clear they will.

Another example of leftist scum in Congress. Meet fringe-left scumbag Rep. Jasmine Crockett

With leftist scum like this 304 elected to ANYTHING, is it any wonder leftists embrace violence when they allow scum like this in Congress? Is it any wonder not one single democrat, politician or otherwise, has condemned the leftist attacks on Tesla, the company, and the owners of those cars?

Hopefully, charges of assault will be files against this turd.

After all, aren't leftists fond of telling us "no one is above the law?"

https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1904547920608710822

Violence related to the election? Count on it.

 It's 4:30am as I've started to write this. Sleep is hard to come by. I look at my cam monitor at the US Flag, lit up by a spot light tonight as it has been for the 5 years I've lived in this place. And I am worried.

Leftist political violence is nothing new, but it's certainly ratcheted up over the years. The months long debacle of free-range rioting in Portland, aided and abetted by an allied, incompetent city government, comes to mind.

Domestic terrorists taking over city blocks of the city of my birth, resulting in 2 murders, a serious wounding, robbery, extortion And leftist scum rejoicing, such as then-Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan comparing that thuggery *felons handing out weapons like samples, for example) labeling THAT insurrection as "democracy."

Two things are evident based on history since the start of this century: As fringe-left government continues to support fringe-left violence, by defunding police or Soros owned and operated district attorneys/prosecutors (Multnomah County District Attorney's Office, for example) dropping or dramatically reducing charges; activist judges ignoring sentencing laws and the like... foment additional violence by literally thousands who rarely face accountability for their actions who face off with neutered police, sending these same scum a clear message that their actions are supported by the governments across this country who allow this insanity as they strive to prove they're aligned more with the domestic terrorists infesting us.

There is no doubt that, possibly beginning even before election night, we are looking at another replay of the leftist version of Krystallnacht from 1938... Except, regardless of who wins on November 5th, rioting by leftists WILL happen.

And, as the fringe-left playbook dictates, government in these leftists cities will react the same way they've done in the past... for example when No Balz Walz allowed Minneapolis to burn.... and Ted Wheeler and then former Oregon Governor Kate Brown allowed Portland to be burned, assaulted, pillaged, raped and murdered not that long ago.

These riots will be in every city of any size. And the leftist response will again be to support these efforts; the damage, the destroyed businesses, and the hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in damages both caused and allowed by these same governments through their tacit and actual support of the perpetrators.

Years ago, I pointed out that politics WOULD become increasingly violent as that was both the trend and the reality as I observed it. Sadly, this is one of those instances where I had hoped to be wrong.

Former President Trump has been twice targeted (and possibly 3 times) by leftists stirred to act by the incessant, never-ending leftist drumbeat of hate directed towards him and his supporters.

Leftist politicians and their media acolytes never stop. Never let up.

And these attempts against Mr. Trump will not be the only ones.

Leftists have been programed to the extent that many even applaud hamas for the despicable massacre of children, women and men a year ago. Efforts to eliminate Mr. Trump will continue repeatedly when he is elected as it appears he will be. And, possibly even after if he were to lose.

To have the capacity to express such hatred and bigotry is pure 4th Reichism.

But it goes to the larger point.

As election time nears, you will sadly need to be hyper vigilant, particularly for those living in or around fringe-left enclaves where government and agencies support this political violence as they so frequently have in the past.

As these threats ramp up, elected officials should strive towards defusing the situation now, by pre-planning efforts with the National Guard to maintain the peace in the face of this obvious adversity.

Those efforts should be loud and public. And they should implement a system where those arrested (in the few cases they will be... most aren't, or in the alternative, most have their charges dropped against them) are actually held accountable for their actions.

Every effort should be made by government at every level to protect their citizenry in the face of these threats.

But we all know, in far too many cases, they won't.

If you're not armed, get armed. If you are, look into additional purchases of ammunition. Brief your families on safety. Set up emergency planning which will insure continuing communication and security.

Again, hopefully, I am flat, dead, wrong.

I pray that cooler heads will prevail.

But I also know that history will be repeated because much has been learned about it, but sadly, those who have attacked us in the past, for the most part, have also learned they have, essentially zero reason to avoid attacking us in the future.

"Tolerance" can be a great thing. But like peanut butter, consuming too much of it can cause problems. And there's zero reason to believe these issues of violence will be anything less than they've been in the past; since, after all, from the rioter's perspective, why wouldn't it be?

Prepare. Be safe. Avoid large gatherings that would be golden targets for these and other terrorists.

Clearly, antifa types (our erstwhile fringe-left congressman, antifa-Marie notwithstanding) are not our only threats.

Prepare for the worst... and hope for the best.

Just don't count on it.

And, for the record, I totally support everyone's right to protest. But your right to protests ends at the tip of my nose. You have no right to commit criminal acts. No right to block streets, take over neighborhoods, loot businesses, assault or murder those who disagree with you and the like.

Nothing says "social justice" like cleaning out a Louis Vuitton store.

The insanity of causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damages in cities which, by and large, support many of your demands cannot be overstated. It's as insane as the alphabet community supporting terrorists in gaza who, given their ability to do so, would execute the members of these groups in an instant without giving it a second thought.

To each their own. And remember: we all have the governments, as incompetent as they may be, we deserve.

Israel has been busy... and now terrorists in the region have a leadership vacuum.

 (I am surprised that they took this long to begin the process of hunting down terrorist leadership. After all, remove the head of the snakes and in the case of terrorists, that might not kill the snake but it will sure slow them down.)

Leftists, including Kackling Kamala, have been making demands on Israel to appease their terrorist base. And I get that, they need the terrorist-supporting and illegal votes in November.

Another one bites the dust.

Here's the problem: a cease-fire only benefits the terrorists. And when it comes to voting, who else are the terrorist-supporters going to vote for if not #roundheels?

The equation from Israel's side is simple.

To stop (or at least drastically reduce) terrorist attacks, they have to destroy terrorists in both gaza and the west bank. The only thing a cease fire would accomplish is a pause to allow the terrorists to resupply and rearm.

Part of that process includes the elimination of those in charge of these Iranian clients.

And since Iran is backing these terrorists, it likely will require the elimination of some Iranians as well.

Iran has to throw a fit for internal consumption; who can forget their last "revenge tour" that proved to be a debacle?

I support Israel. Period. They let terrorists fire thousands of rockets from gaza into their country. And they let that happen without retaliation, save for some air strikes.

Until October 7.

In warfare, there is no such thing as a "proportional response."

In World War Two, for example, the Japanese Killed 2,403 military personnel and 68 civilians.

Our (including allies) retaliation included as many as 2.3 million soldiers and as many as 800,000 civilians against Japan.

In Germany, 5.3 million soldiers and up to 3 million civilians. And it is of note that essentially, Germany did not attack us to kick off a war.

Israel is fighting for their existence, which a part of the hamas charter indicates they should not have. When you fight for your survival, you will no more be concerned about the niceties when it comes to your enemies than the enemies who raped and slaughtered 1400 mostly civilians, wounding/injuring 4600 more and kidnapping 240 more for hostages were concerned about the niceties for their victims.

Is there a risk of a, heaven forbid, wider war? Of course. Should Israel ignore the leadership of the organizations attempting to destroy them? Of course NOT.

Israel is a nuclear power. For now, at least, Iran appears not to have achieved that lofty perch/Obama/Biden's best efforts notwithstanding.

Would those whining about Israel's response prefer that form of retaliation? What does everyone sniveling believe Israel would do if their national survival was at stake?

The vast majority of gazans claim to support hamas. The vast majority of west bankers claim to support hezbollah.

Well, here's the deal using our past responses:

"All the gazans are guilty of the crimes of hamas, on the same level as the leadership of the hamas - because they chose and did not stop their power when they committed crimes against humanity."

Here's the reality:

The IDF incursion would end tomorrow.

All the gazans/west bankers have to do is turn over every member of hamas, every hamas supporter, all weapons and all monies/aid hamas has stolen to the IDF.

Return all hostages (and the bodies of those hamas has killed)

Turn over anyone involved in the Oct 7 slaughter, even peripherally.

Agree to frequent inspections to make sure gaza/west bank end their attacks on Israel.

And understand that Oct 7 means permanent occupation. And "permanent" means "forever."

Do this, and the military action would end.

The choices are stark. The choices are simple.

It's up to the people on the ground.

And their continued support of hamas makes them equally culpable.

Meanwhile, Israel rightfully will continue to do their work. And the leadership of hamas hiding out in the 5 star hotels in Qatar should probably update their life insurance policies.

Their play time appears to be over.

Ceasefire in gaza? Horrific mistake.

Have you noticed it?

The hypocrisy of leftists and their fake outrage over Israel responding to Gazan terrorism and 1400 dead, hundreds raped and thousands wounded... Ongoing silence by feminists everywhere. Outward antisemitism and hatred of Jews generally and of Israel specifically by the left en masse and their situational ethics on display for all.

College campuses, including Huskyville University of Washington are allowed and become hotbeds of hatred and demands for genocide of the Jews/Israelis supported by several college/university administrations.

More leftist bigotry on full display. Another shameful episode right up there with US policy towards Jews in World War 2. Similar bigotry displayed when US policy sent thousands of Jews to their deaths.

Himmler would be proud.

Leftists everywhere who hope for the destruction of Israel have been demanding a ceasefire since October 8th.

"Humanitarian reasons" is their cry.

But those with functioning brain synapses and even a vague geopolitical understanding of the region know better.

ANY "ceasefire" (which hamas is likely to completely ignore) will serve no one but the terrorists. How'd the "ceasefires" work out in Vietnam?

The "ceasefire" is allegedly to return hostages. How many depends on what you've read.... 50 to 150. This, by itself, sets a dangerous precedent.

Do leftists notice that hamas terrorists have hostages and Israel, despite having hundreds of terrorists locked up, do not?

That said, we can now fully expect hamas to engage in the science of taking... and killing... more hostages in the future.

But more importantly, this day pause is a huge strategic opportunity for hamas to reorganize and resupply. In fact, the draft agreement includes a requirement that Israel END DRONE SURVEILANCE OVER BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH GAZA FOR THE DURATION OF THE CEASEFIRE. And the result?

More people will likely be killed as a result of this kowtowing to leftist whiners than are being saved.

Imagine a 5 day ceasefire a month after D-Day in Normandy. Imagine what would have happened.

The outcome here is likely to be similar. IDF momentum stopped in its tracks. Zero strategic advantage to Israel which, due to its short logistical lines, has zero problem with resupply.

So, one can reasonably ask themselves: who will gain the most from this effort? And why?

The bigotry of the left on full display: Nazi-like hatred for all to see.

For the past few decades, it's fallen out of favor for democrats to refer to their true nature as illustrated by slavery, the Klan, and assassination/lynchings of blacks and Republicans. Their racism and bigotry, as expressed by several black members of Congress and several other terrorist supporting members of the democrat persuasion have done all they can to appear as racist as possible without crossing the line.

In Congress, a resolution condemning Hamas passed the House overwhelmingly with 412 votes on Wednesday, with nine left-wing Democrats voting against it and six voting “present.” (A lone Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, also voted against the resolution.)

Democrat terrorist-supporting thugs such as Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) show off their terrorist tendencies by threatening to get physical with those holding them accountable for their bigotry:

On Thursday, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), a centrist, said on X, formerly Twitter, that the 15 Democrats who didn’t vote for the resolution were “despicable and do not speak for our party.” In response, one of the 15, Rep. Andre Carson of Indiana, called Gottheimer a “coward” and a “punk,” and invited him to settle their differences physically.

Until now.

Now, they've found a new target.  Now they've found a new outlet for their racism and bigotry.

Jews.

Black organizations from the organized crime fraud group Black Lives Matter to the so-called "squad" in Congress have made their bigoted hatred known.

Since the hamas terrorist attack that slaughtered 1400 unarmed Israelis (Including at least 32 Americans) and the kidnapping of some 240 more (including some Americans) democrats have made their hatred of Jews known.

Yesterday, Jewish students at Cornell University were plagued with actual death threats of such ferocity that NY Governor Kathy Hochul was forced to provide security by sending New York State Police to guard a named location close to the Cornell campus. The threats reached a point where Governor Hochul actually went to the Center for Jewish Living (A target of the death threats) to speak on the issue herself. The FBI has been notified: however, the question of their veracity as a federal agency is always under review.)

The Daily Mail did a story on a NYC reporter who hired a body guard:

Jewish NYC journalist Emily Austin hires BODYGUARDS after receiving death and rape threats by anti-Semites

College campuses across the country have cooperated with the Nazi-like hatred of Jews, by allowing, coordinating and supplying pro-terrorist demonstrators across the country, from the University of Washington to Harvard, Yale and several other fringe-left inculcation bastions in between.                                                                     

Columbia Jewish Students Say Death Threats Are Pouring in From Their Peers: ‘I Do Not Feel Safe’

Leftist professors, journalists and doctors have made no secret of their hatred and bigotry towards Jews.

For the left, hatred of Jews is generally an inherited trait. They operate mainly on hatred, so they have to have SOMEONE to hate: government, capitalists, laws of all kinds, you name it.

Over the decades, they were forced to STOP hating blacks. Many blacks have been fooled to the extent they've firmly chained themselves to the plantation. And if you don't believe that, just see the racism and bigotry poured out against those who actually LEAVE the Big House.

The filth ladled out against those who shake free from the bonds of the fringe-left hive is typical of the bad old days when leftists lynched those who wanted freedom, or the right to vote, or to actually live a life of their own making, free from the shackles of the democrat centralism practiced by the leftist scum in charge today.

Today we have demonstrations demanding the eradication of Jews. We have Jews in America who are threatened with death daily simply for having had the destiny to have been born in a Jewish family.

Demonstrations ironically equating Israeli's generally and Jews particularly with Hitler, et al, which is somewhat ironic given the historical facts of Palestinians lining up to enlist in the Waffen SS during World War Two:


Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini, meeting with Hitler.


Amin al-Husseini, salutes Bosnian Muslim Troops of the 13th Waffen SS "Handschar" Division, 1943

Like leftists everywhere, they have no care or concern over peaceful demonstrations. After all, how can one be peaceful while simultaneously calling for the end of an entire race?

And for the most part, city governments and campuses are willing participants to this prelude to yet another Krystalnacht.

Most every one of these protests involves hate speech, for example, but what do any of these authorities do about it?

Nothing.

But imagine, if you will, if things were just a tad different.

Do you believe for one moment that these same organizations that allow and frequently foster this hatred would be so forthcoming if the protestors were, say, white supremacists? Or the ubiquitous "Proud Boys?"

And the target of such a grouping was, in fact, a racial or sexual minority?

Hell, no.

So, one if forced to ponder: why do they allow these hate-fests now? Why are our tax dollars going to support these terrorist-inspired scum?

Simple: most every one of these places is governed or controlled by leftists who, at some level, essentially agree with the protestors/demonstrators.

Block traffic?  No problem. Who gives a rat's ass about the public who expect law enforcement to, well, enforce the laws? Hate speech? Well, we all know that hate speech rarely applies to those of a religious persuasion.

Unless, of course, they're Muslim. Then, say the wrong thing and you can expect to get locked up.

But Jews?  Nah. It's open season.

We have a Second Amendment. I urge everyone who either is Jewish or who sympathizes with the Israeli plight to utilize that most basic of Constitutional Rights.

Secure a firearm. If you don;'t know how to properly use one, then learn how. Keep it with you ate all times and know when and under what circumstances it's proper to use it.

Remember, when seconds count, the police (if they respond at all) are only minutes away.
