Appearing on CBS, Michael Herzog, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S., tells “Face the Nation” that after the unprecedented attack in Gaza that left at least 600 dead, “we have to destroy the Hamas war machine.” “This is war,” he said. Additionally, Ambassador Herzog confirms that Americans were taken as hostages back into Gaza. WATCH:
MARGARET BRENNAN: Are there Americans among those hostages?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: I understand there are, but I don’t have details.
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: We’re joined now by the Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Michael Herzog. Mr. Ambassador, first, I want to offer you our condolences.
AMBASSADOR MICHAEL HERZOG: Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
MARGARET BRENNAN: We know that your Prime Minister is promising a sustained campaign. Do you have any sense of how Israel will define success?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: Well, Israel is at war. Yesterday, we were attacked by a terror organization. They infiltrated Israeli territory and killed hundreds of Israelis. At least 600 were butchered yesterday, including whole families, elderly, women, children, babies were taken out of the mothers laps and murdered. This is war and we have to fight that war and win it. We have to destroy the Hamas war machine. You know, in war- back in war- we have to fight it.
MARGARET BRENNAN: How is it that Hamas managed to take Israeli Defense Forces by surprise? Did they shut down communications?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: Well, it was a surprise attack. There was definitely an element of surprise. But I think we’ll have enough time to investigate that once we conclude that war in victory.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You said you want to destroy the Hamas war machine. Hamas is armed and funded by Iran. The Biden administration says they don’t have evidence that Iran was linked to this particular attack. Does Israel have evidence they were?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: Well, we suspect Iranian hands behind the scenes, as you know Hamas and Iran are closely tied. Iran provides material support, funding, weapons to Hamas. They are tied in what they call the Axis of Resistance, of course, resistance to the existence of the State of Israel. They are part of the same coalition. So, as far as we are concerned, this is an Iranian led coalition and we suspect that Iran is involved.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Does that mean Israel will take the fight to Iran?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: I’m not going to say what exactly Israel is going to do. But I will just say that whoever strikes Israel, we’ll strike back.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Sir, this is just stunning to see what has happened in the past few hours. But there are questions within Israel, as you know about how such a strong military was taken by surprise. There has been a massive expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank area, and with that a buildup of forces to protect them. The former ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, has publicly raised the question of whether that’s why the border towns over and around Gaza were left unprotected. Were they? Was that a factor?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: Well, I don’t buy that argument. I think that analogy is irrelevant to the current situation. Yes, it was a surprise attack, but I don’t think it has much to do with the fact that the IDF was preoccupied in the West Bank. They prepared a surprise attack, they reached the border fence, they came with paragliders, and through the sea. And as I said, there will be sufficient time after the war to investigate what exactly happened. Right now, we are at war and we have to fight that war and win it. We are attacked by a terror organization funded by Iran. And that’s where we are right now.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But you have said that perhaps Hamas miscalculated by looking at all the domestic problems Israel has within its own politics right now. Do you–
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: –Absolutely.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Do you think that that was actually, though, a factor when it comes to military readiness? Did it leave your forces vulnerable?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: They may have- maybe they were under the impression that given the internal debate in Israel, that Israel is weakened so that they can provoke us. They thought so, I think they’re definitely mistaken. You have to know Israelis to understand that when Israel is under attack, Israelis close ranks and they fight together. And there is no opposition coalition right now in Israel. There’s no debate. All reservists are volunteering. We- our embassy is flooded with phone calls from people who want to go back to Israel and fight Hamas. So in that sense, I think it was a gross miscalculation on their part.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But did it impact readiness? Because there were concerns of, you know, your reservists having objections, political objections, and refusing to serve.
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: No, it did not impact readiness, I think Israel is strong. As I said, Israelis are closing ranks right now and we will fight back.
MARGARET BRENNAN: In- back in 2006, you had a soldier taken captive and held in Gaza. It took over five years to get him back. And Israel did so in exchange for 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. At what cost is Israel prepared to get these new hostages out?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: I think it’s premature to discuss that. I think we- we just attacked yesterday. We understand that there are probably dozens of kidnapped Israelis and others in the hands of Hamas. We’ll have to deal with it in due time. The whole issue of hostages is a very sensitive issue. I think you know it from your situation, the US, and we- we’ve had experience in that in the past. It’s a very complicated situation. But I think it’s premature to discuss any deals or prices or whatever. Right now we are at war.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Are there Americans among those hostages?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: I understand there are, but I don’t have details.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You don’t know the numbers or ability to retain them?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: No.
MARGARET BRENNAN: What is it that Israel and your Prime Minister is asking of the American President right now?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: So, it was a very good phone call between President Biden and our Prime Minister yesterday. The U.S. administration sounded a very strong voice of support for Israel, from the nation for the terror attack and support for Israel’s right to self defense. We are in discussions with the administration about the situation and about our needs. I want to take the opportunity to thank the administration for the solid support of Israel and its rise to self defense.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And before I let you go, how is Israel going to allow some of those Palestinian civilians who are trapped within Gaza to escape so that they aren’t victims of these strikes?
AMBASSADOR HERZOG: Well, the fact of the matter is that Hamas uses civilians as human shields.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
Hamas knows this will draw a military ground force and Gaza administration. Do they have something more up their sleeve?
Only hate of God’s people.
“The Blood Deal”.
“President Trump made peace between Israel and several Arab countries through the groundbreaking Abraham Accords, which ignored the Palestinian question for the first time and also led to the moving of our embassy to Jerusalem after decades of hand-wringing.
Iran and its proxies hated that peace and swore to destroy the deal and prevent the main country that matters, Saudia Arabia, from coming to peace with Israel. This is the proximate reason for the events of October 7.
An existential crisis for a free people is our desire to do the right thing, the moral thing, versus the reality of evil facing us head-on.
The main objective of the invasion of Israel was twofold:
Show that Israel is vulnerable and divided, especially since Israel is in the midst of a deep conversation on the powers of its Supreme Court and the Knesset.Capture as many hostages as possible.
Use the emotional power of that horrible and calculated action to gain leverage.Information is still coming in fast and furious. Hamas thinks it has gained considerable leverage to disarm Israel and broaden the conflict. We must make sure that it can do neither.
Those hostages are no longer kidnapped individuals. They are, profoundly and regrettably, prisoners of war. No one should negotiate with hostage-takers; you cannot wage war by putting those same prisoners above your objectives.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/10/the_blood_deal.html
Notwithstanding Hamas killing Israelis in this contemporary incursion, there is still deadly SILENCE about forcing Palestinians out of their homes, destroying the homes, and building settlements for extremist Israelis; the same who spit on Muslims AND Christians in the Holy Land.
Killing every single human in the Gaza Strip is not going to make the future any more secure.
No, it will not secure any future for Palestine so why would Hamas risk its own people for this attack?
Why would Iran encourage them to do so? Did they tell these terrorists that a great victory would result, no doubt?
It is no surprise that Israel will retaliate, anyone would in these circumstances, and those that pushed this attack surely know that better than anyone.
Yes, Gaza is in trouble now. How did no one see this coming? Why would Hamas act so aggressively against innocents in Israel? Is this a contest for who hates the most?
poppycock
Lots of poppeycock.
When an attacker has a knife to your throat, do you really give a rats ass, about his “motivation”, or “grievances” or societal, historical b.s.?
Two recent stories of leftist activists being murdered by the very sickos they purported to represent, tell the story of where that road leads.
Why not just go back to argueing about who should be Speaker?
So tired of ALL of the poppeycock.
Did Hamas not force Israelis out of their homes? There is deadly silence about terrorists destroying homes and settlements as well as the taking of Americans as hostages. The goal of Hamas is to kill every single non-Muslim in Israel. This is the goal of all Arab nations who continue to parrot their mantra that Israel has no right to exist. They don’t care about a secure future for anyone who isn’t a Muslim.
Agreed. The Abraham Accords would have been a start to real peace in the Middle East.
The Islamic countries need to STOP saying “Israel has no right to exist.”
Ya know… Islam conquered the Christian Byzantine empire many 100s of years ago. Should WE now say….ok, we are more powerful than you, so we are taking back OUR LAND and huge chunks of Muslim countries to … restore the Christian Byzantine empire?
Why does Islam believe Israel– the holiest land to Jews– must be Muslim land. Islam has Mecca and Medina. They can’t Israel… period.
Dead enemies commit no more crimes .
BS
Yes it definitely will.
No-the ONLY way is to completely get rid of Gaza. Allow the Palestinians to leave. Why do Arab countries never take their own refugees????
You cannot have a bunch of terrorists living side by side with Israelis.
For years since 1948 these people have repeatedly raised their murderous ideology
They dont want peace.
Ever.
You left out the complicity of the Biden regime. They also wanted to sabotage the Abraham accords. They went out of their way to alienate MbS.
No surprise to those who were here with useful insights 6-7 years ago. Much of what remains is often inane and often down ranging between silly to outright preposterous. Anyway, another gift from the Treasonous Biden-Blinken and Granholm junta depicted by EJ Antoni who as usual points out what state media stenography pools never will. IF they know at all.
Agreed.
It’s almost like the heavily patrolled and guarded Gaza Border was left unguarded. There were no IDF or police officers seen anywhere. I thought that Israel had a large force of soldiers constantly watching Gaza, heavily manned checkpoints, armored patrols and electronic surveillance watching every foot of the border???
What happened?
People, including those who work in security services, get lazy and complaisant, and watch the clock waiting for their shift to be up. Pays the same either way. Looks to me that the same thing happened here prior to 9/11. People saw things that were not right, but why complicate your life by digging into them? Ninety-nine times out of a hundred they turn out to be nothing anyway. It’s just human nature, and unless you have fanatical leadership kicking ass, your organization goes down hill and becomes ineffective. Security went to sleep in Israel and now we have this.
Complacency probably played a role.
Satan happened.
What happened? Israel’s woke communist supreme court happened, and its sycophants in the IDF following and likely Mossad as well who years ago would not have missed this coming. Detail on this and much more isn’t difficult to find using trustworthy sources. Example – Caroline Glick with Frank Gaffney last July. Search the coverage on this and much more at Gaffeny’s Securing America website on Israel, the CCP threat/s, Iran, Great Border Bum Rush, treasonous Biden junta and much more. Fox Nooze for Stupid People let alone the other known state media stenography pools will never touch what Gaffney and his expert guests do. The Search function there is excellent there under “The Show” then “TV Show”. Sample: https://www.securingamerica.tv/with-caroline-glick-4/. Then recentlyon Oct. 6 with former Israeli Amb. Yoram Ettinger detailing Biden junta’s treachery against Isreal. You might want to stay for Col. Grant Newsham (retired USMC). Quality investigative reporting delivered by no BS first hand professionals that’s long gone from this broken country. Promise.
I remember reports a few years ago that Israely citizens carried full auto weopons.
And every Israeli is a black belt in Judo.
And they never run out of milk or eggs.
And gas is cheap.
Never believe the media re Israel.
just as you wouldn’t believe the media re USA.
The cameras on the Gaza border were hacked/disabled.
I’ve heard of hidden explosives and scorched earth actions as the Israelites move in. Please continue to pray for Israel.
So do I
Am Israel Chai.
Muslim fanatics worship death. They are not too particular either about who dies. They like dead muslims almost as much as they like dead Israelis or Americans.
Don’t worry. Brennan will get to the bottom of this. Ugh
And he’d probably find himself Brennan at the bottom of it
He is at the bottom of this.
SecDef Austin announced the dispatch of the USS Ford Aircraft Carrier Strike Group to the Eastern Mediterranean as a show of force and solidarity with Israel.
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2023/10/08/us-will-send-carrier-strike-group-eastern-mediterranean-support-of-israel.html
U.S. and Israeli militaries routinely exercise together and have achieved a significant degree of interoperability in terms of air operations and missile defense.
Key issue is whether the Biden Administration is willing to use force as necessary to shield Israel – think Hezbollah in Lebanon – while the IDF takes care of military business in Gaza – which is going to take weeks, if not months to complete.
Probably to intimidate Israel so that they don’t do what they need to do….thoroughly destroy Hamas.
my thought exactly, was just coming here to voice it
Don’t forget – Austin left American citizens in Afghanistan, and we have a “rainbow” Navy. We have an incompetent president and a “clown show” congress. We are in dangerous territory!
But hey, flight suits for pregnant pilots, and plenty of puppy play perverts in the ranks,…so theres that.
Not to mention the huge cache of weapons they left behind. I am convinced that these got to Iran and then to Hamas
The unyielding Islamic. war machine has never deviated from their medieval objectives. No matter what form it takes in time and place the goal is still the same. Eliminate or convert the infidel. By any means necessary.
So much is wrong with this perverse, insane mindset that I can’t even begin to enunciate. Yet it has been perpetuated for so many centuries.
The darkness of the human psyche collectively shared by so many. Without even a tinge of conscience or self reflection..
Not to downplay the historic tensions between the Christian West and Islam, but the problem is the unyielding Iran war machine and its long-running, unwavering proxy campaign to wreck Israel. Iran’s goal is to establish regional hegemony at U.S. and Saudi expense and to claim leadership of the Islamic world.
Well Iran will 1st have to depose the wanna be Caliph of the new Ottoman Empire.
This fight between those that produced the modern world and mysticism began well before that.
Watch 300.
You may be correct, but Pedro’s assessment seems pretty accurate for the current circumstances.
Looks like the POTATUS regime paid jiziya to the Mullahs in Iran to help the Hamas terrorists.
Everyone needs to keep their head on a swivel and question everything. We are in it now as those in the shadows are becoming desperate.
Here is what Benjamin Fulford just said:
Both Mossad and MI6 sources confirm the attack on Israel by Hamas was orchestrated by Benyamin Netanyahu in order to create an excuse for the mass slaughter of the Palestinian people. Thiis is meant to be a sacrifice to Satan intended to start a nuclear holocaust. The Israeli military and Israeli people need to arrest Netanyahu and his Satanic gangster followers. They are the ancient enemies of the Jewish people and we need to finish them off once and for all.
Then Netanyahu just said he would make a desert out of Gaza Strip. To me, this smells a lot like 911. Are we going to fall for another racket—which war surely is. And it starts in the most unexpected places and times. No one is talking about Ukraine anymore are they?
fulford is nuts.
Ummmm… No.
And to accuse BN of this is beyond the pale. Go away troll.
What Fulford said sounds like something AOC or Maxine Waters would say. LOL.
Think it is time for you to go away
Not true.
Bibi would hardly use a nuke because of the radiation which would kill Israelis and make Israel uninhabitable for centuries
Fulford is rabid Israeli hating nut.
Sigh. Clowns to the left of us, clowns to the right of us. Where is your clown nose?
Netanyahu is a dead man walking after this atrocity. The Israeli people will vote him out soon after peace is somehow restored. The real question is who will replace him. Another woke Israeli like the one before him or someone even more hard-core than Netanyahu?
It is difficult to believe that such vaunted spy agencies as the CIA, MI6, and Mossad were all caught by surprise by the Hamas attack. Not likely.
Joe walks the ambassador’s statement in 3..2..1.
This guy is not our ambassador. He’s Israel’s.
Herzog’s English is definitely not any kind of American dialect that I recognize. I’ll bet he is an Israeli that learned English, albeit with an accent and somehow got dual American citizenship, maybe through coming to the US for a university degree.
When he spoke of Israel’s hopes and plans, he always used the pronoun “we,” as though he owned the Israeli viewpoint. (Which he most likely did.)
It seems that an objective, native born American diplomat assigned to be Ambassador to Israel would not have used the term “we.” Instead, he would have referred to any plans as the Israeli government’s or the Netanyahu administration’s plans.
Israeli Ambassador to America.
Okay. My mistake. The accent and use of “we” makes sense now. Thanks for correcting this. I wish I could delete my previous post.
Sure and does that matter to the brain dead in the White House? 🤷♀️
The Biden Regime is probably licking their chops. Pallets of $$$ in exchange for American hostages!
It’s very easy, 1 American or 100k dead.
The Israelis need to raise the black flag and wipe Gaza off the map. If someone wants to protest, ignore them. If Israel wants the territory, keep it. If they don’t expel all survivors, if any and raze every building. Leave no stone set upon another stone.
100%…this is it. No cease fire. Hamas must be permanently obliterated.
Gaza is Israel. So is the West Bank.
The other 99% of the Middle East can more than absorb their brothers dedicated to the religion of Satan.
Especially since these Muslim countries have emptied a lot of space by sending hoards of their brethren to illegally invade a multitude of countries in the West. Why is it that the Saudis don’t seem to be taking in any muslim refugees? Or am I wrong about that… You would think they would be happier living somewhere with people of similar culture and values, but then that’s not the objective of coming to the West, now is it…..
Did anyone see the photo of the young captured Israeli girl being pushed into an SUV by a BLACK Hamas terrorist? She had blood on the seat of her pants
Where are these black Hamas terrorists from????
Here you can clearly se eby the hair he is african
Absolutely, this is the final straw.
Sounds like you’re proposing a Final Solution to the Palestinian Question.
You actually went there.
CTH is full of this now. Admins need to get a handle on this before trolls like this drive away the regulars.
I hope and pray that Israel quickly and successfully with overwhelming impact crushes this before other things can occur.
If not, expect incursions and attacks from multiple fronts.
Should that eventuality occur, and there is an invasion, pay attention to activities to the north in the vicinity of the Jezreel Valley.
If there is ever a multinational, large scale engagement there or about to be one, prepare for Intervention.
(The Plains of Meggido)
The Afghanistan Taliban want to assist Hamas and are looking for permission from Iran to pass through Iran to get to Israel.
That would put US Armor left behind in Afghanistan in the Tel Megiddo valley.
End times prophecy stuff.
Get right with God.
Methinks they’re already there. With all sorts of goodies.
Jezreel Valley. The place where Armageddon is to take place.
Brennan is Lady (not Lord) Haw-Haw.
Sundance is rightfully critical of the Ukraine war propaganda. But when it comes to this recent atrocity in the Middle East, he seems to have suspended all critical thinking and has immediately bought into the view that we should support the Israel war effort without considering whether this is another propaganda effort.
Here is an alternative take: https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/theyre-repeating-the-word-unprovoked?
Anyone can see that this attack was “unprovoked”. Only an Israel hater like this writer you linked to will let a Palastinian claim it was “provoked” and then proceed to support that argument.
The NY Twin Towers population had not provoked anyone yet a false flag was committed in NYC, Shanksville PA, and Arlington VA that killed thousands of Americans who were minding their own business. Purpose of false flag: to scare unsuspecting Americans (i.e., the majority) into willingly (and ignorantly) supporting the removal of our rights under the 4th Amendment in a legal Trojan horse called the Patriot Act.
Ukraine has been losing support among Americans to continue to feed the war machine. If our own government would fell th twin Towers to achieve its dark purpose, why don’t you think they wouldn’t in some dark way help the enemies of Israel launch a murderous attack on Israelis so as to grab our attention and sympathies and thus support more taxpayer $$$$$ for the industrial-military war machine’s benefit?
I think it’s perfectly plausible and should not be dismissed until all the facts about this incident have been truly revealed and point elsewhere..
Johnstone is an epic moron. She is actually defending terrorists. She has always been dim, but this is a new low. A war breaks out and her spastic seizures start about propaganda. The left in this country have lost their collective minds – and she is one of them. I have my own personal issues with Israel, but they didn’t start this. I have way – WAY bigger problems with Islam.
They used the word “unprovoked” a lot too when defending the US on 911. Anyone who supports the mass murder of innocents as acceptable for disagreements and disputes will never get a seat at the table. Period.
The Left is always inclined to blame anyone but the terrorists for their atrocious acts of terror. I can’t believe it now, but I actually used to be a Liberal before 9/11/2001, (OK so I was brainwashed growing up in a bleeding heart liberal area. Please forgive me!) Shortly after the attacks on 9/11 NPR in the SF Bay Area started spouting their view that the US had provoked the 9/11 attacks. So it was all our fault. Over 3,000 dead but it was OUR fault, not the terrorists who flew the planes. I was so appalled by this that I was woken up out of the obscure cloud of denial and illogical nonsense where liberals usually live and cured of this brain disease. Thank God for that. I have not listened to even one of NPR’s snooty yellow journalism broadcasts ever since. They are America-Hating Marxist infiltrators. It’s sad how so many people are brainwashed by them and think they know everything because it was on NPR. And we are paying for their poison with our tax dollars.
Both takes are wrong in my opinion.
“….. suspended all critical thinking…..”
Who TF do you think you’re fooling with this BS?
So you post someone else’s differing view or opinion on this issue and that just automatically makes Sundance’s view subject to be absent from critical thinking?
How do you he didn’t read this or something similar?
Answer: you don’t.
Amateurish influence operations at its worst.
Someone thinking Sundance and all the Treepers are a bunch of uneducated, unintelligent, not very well read, and not aware of current events idiots.
You might could have slipped this through on some to cause doubt (deflection) had you not cast aspersions on a much beloved and well respected host with an impeccable track record on analysis and journalism. Tactical blunder.
Nice try. Not.
Thanks for playing!
regardless, the videos and horror of the attack say much about
civilian deaths and hostages
perhaps it is propaganda by Hamas? not funny but LOL
pure stupidity
Johnstone is saying that the longstanding political conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is provocation for the Palestinian invasion. I don’t believe that is correct. A provoking action is one that occurs proximate to the response. A long simmering conflict does not fit that definition.
The savage Hamas barbarians slaughtered at least 260 young people dancing at an all-night peace festival. Survivors say the terrorists swarmed the crowd flying in paragliders and opened fire. Kids in their 20’s.
I suppose that was provoked, too, according to this leftist writer.
them glider guys would have made good targets while still in the air
what happened to some of the citizenry carrying their military weapons that I’ve always heard of?
And, nobody noticed a lot of palestinians taking up paragliding, as it requires a LOT of PRACTICE to learn to effectively fly them?
Actually, unless there is a strong wind, those low-powered ultralights practically fly themselves.
About 1 hour of practice (unless the trainee is a dimwit) and they’re good to go… Also remember this was a one-way flight for them. Any damage to the craft on landing was of no consequence.
“Without a Second Amendment Private Gun Ownership Low in Israel:
…it is notable that Israel does not have a U.S.-like Second Amendment and private gun ownership among Israelis is low.
The BBC reported that “Israeli gun ownership is low at about 2% of the population.” In contrast, the findings of a recent study by Rutgers University’s New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center estimated upwards of six in ten Americans own guns…
…The difference, in large part, is the Second Amendment. Israelis are allowed to own guns at whatever level their government approves whereas Americans have a birthright to gun ownership that is protected by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Israelis are also limited in the type of firearms and quantity of ammunition they can own. The BBC observed, “Usually citizens are allowed to hold a pistol and a limit of 50 bullets.” In all but the bluest states, Americans can own almost any gun imaginable — including machine guns — and can have as much ammunition stored and ready as they can afford…
https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2023/10/08/without-second-amendment-private-gun-ownership-low-israel/
yeah, but there were no older, capable people in the vicinity?
The ‘Obama’ administration paying Iran 6 billion buys a lot of death.
Level Tehran, turn it into glass. It’s time to rid the world of terrorists, even in the US, especially those in Congress and those aiding and abetting.
How are the wars in Afghanistan/Syria/Libya going…..oh. Never mind. Appears we have a lot of ‘glass’ to produce. I sense endless profitability for some………
Americans taken hostage?
Real Americans or dual citizenships?
It doesn’t matter.
how many billions will Biden give them for hostage release?
more billions for them to attack Israel
There are a lot of Americans who visit/stay in Israel during the Holy Holidays. Also, there are a lot of Americans who work and study in Israel. Or what if they are just Tourist wanting to see the Holy Land?
Is it ok for them to be hostages if they have dual citizenship?
yeah, the video of a combatant (who looks African, by the way) taking a young woman out of the back end of a jeep and forcing her into the side door
she’s wearing army-green pants
her bottom is blood-soaked
we know why
at least those of us who can put 1 and 1 together
ABSOLUTELY. I wonder where that African is from?
correction: gray pants
just saw the clip again
Sick of the cover ups of incompetent generals and the intelligence communities. The village idiot should have fired the FBI, CIA, DIA, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs for 911.
Texas… your turn to stand up and be counted. Get rid of Abbott tomorrow. Stop pretending and stop making excuses.
RIGHT ON !!!!!
We are surprised with spy balloons and Israel is surprised by paragliding.
But we are in control they say.
I say this is reality of misinformation at best.
I have such emotion. The interview states phone calls are coming in from US Jews who want to return to fight!!
God bless these awesome men! I hope they pound Hamas into oblivion. I’m sick to my stomach with the news.
When I was single I went to Israel and did four days volunteer work with the IDF. I tried to join but there are strict laws about having Jewish roots in order to join. I was allowed on base for the four days to volunteer in non combat role. I sanded tank helmets down for refurbishment.
God I have been praying almost without ceasing for Israel. I love them so much.
DD
Unfortunately though there are far more American Jews of the Democrat persuasion who have left Israel to wither on the vine over many years.
Dan Dale….Sar-El?
God Bless you Dan
Me too. I couldnt stop praying the Shema for all the dead and living last night and the night before.
Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one. And as for you, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
And for those who think this is a Jewish prayer
The Shema is quoted not just in the Old Testament, but also in the New Testament by Jesus himself in two of the Gospels (Matt. 22:37; Mark 12:28-30).
WIPE THEM OUT
Great. So Bidan will put forward a massive military aid package for Israel. With a kicker for Ukraine. And refuse to separate them. And the FED can now abandon the inflation fight.
Until Israel commits to unrestricted warfare without regard to “collateral damage” they will never be truly secure within their own country. Eliminate the Palestinian authorities, all of them, and put the whole nation under their own civil control. Brook no protest.
Israel has declared war this time however and they should carry it out to the end and actually win the war. But what will happen is no doubt exactly the same pattern as in the past. The Palestinians start it, they get their asses kicked, and then they, other Muslim nations, and the west starts pressuring them to stop. And the same cycle that has been going on will continue.
END IT NOW once and for all. Make Israel within its own borders secure and then concentrate so much force on the border with Lebanon and Hezbollah dares not start any crap.
True, but even once they have all of historic Israel they will still be at war.
Satan and his minions will never rest until God puts an end to them all.
Madge a week from now interviewing Blinky: “What do you say about the sources who are telling me that the policies of Trump Administration toward Israel and Putin made this more likely?”
Here is the road map for where many are.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/hackers-access-leak-23andme-user-data-targeting-ashkenazi/
Terrorism here…..so Covid exit stage right!
This is a obvious failure of gun control. (/sarcasm) Here’s the thing. The same individuals to point at guns for a mass shooting event (and not the mentality of the one holding that gun) are not only pointing directly at Hamas (and not the guns), but arguably you could say that those individuals could be held accountable for them having the necessary resources to posses such firepower in the first place. 1. $8 Billion military equipment left to the Taliban (as they has Hezbollah for passage to the battle field) 2. $6 Billion released to the Iranians (largest financier of Hamas) 3. Re-established a $1 Billion “aid” payment to the PLA after it was stopped by the Trump Administration)
How much would you like to bet that 100% of the “American” hostages are dual citizenship and not “Americans”?
It doesn’t matter.
It matters only to the extent that we accept the media and their counterparts in the intelligence community lie to us.
They will take a small grain of truth and wrap it in a mountainous lie in an effort to control our thinking.
I’ve come a long way since my GW Bush supporting days.
I don’t trust the pictures and videos, let alone the words of the talking heads and their “experts”.
I question everything… EVERYTHING!
And ask myself…”why now?” and…”who benefits?” And … “what is the endgame here?”
Especially when the usual Warhawk’s on both wings of the establishment bird are spouting the exact same talking points.
It matters. It matters a lot.
Thanks to Biden*, it’s now open season on Americans. 6 billion for 5 prisoners. The Iranians can’t believe how lucky they are. Take American prisoners and watch the cash roll in. How stupid can this dolt be?
Biden is not stupid.
Face reality, he is doing exactly what Obama and his crew told him to do.
Biden is Obama’s third term.
It was supposed to be Hilary, why do you think Obama’s crew allowed her to set up that private server and then had the DOJ/
FBI pardon her for it.
Leverage to ensure she would do what Biden is doing today.
Same reason they hold leverage over the Biden crime family.
President Trump merely delayed this. Which is why we had the DOJ/FBI Russia “investigation,” Mueller, two impeachments, a stolen election in 2020, the political persecution of J6 attendees, and the lawfare prosecution of President Trump now.
I don’t believe there will be a 2024 election, let alone a fair one, or any outcome where President Trump will once again be able to take the oath of office.
Trillions at stake, as well as the lives and freedom of Obama and all his operatives throughout government that allowed and facilitated the last 14 years.
You are wrong. Biden is stupid. He funded his retirement by selling out the USA, but his world is crumbling.
By attributing this to Biden’s stupidly, people fail to make the connection to the puppet master behind the puppet.
Let’s not pretend that this is being done because Biden is stupid, it’s all part of the Obama / deep state / leftist plans.
I can think of many deals our real President would use to end this.
None of this would have taken place if Donald J. Trump were still in office.
From Ukraine to Israel…it wouldn’t be happening.
No one else can correct this mess either. No.One.Else.
LakeLureLife…….Precisely!
And, I think there is some validity to the theory they are trying to destroy everything to the point even PDJT can’t fix it, just in case he wins.
On EVERY major area, U.S. Economy, Global Economy, Military front, etc. they are consistently F’ing things up.
We thought Jimmy Carter was weak and a dolt but Biden is a thousand times worse & he’s a lying criminally insane sociopath also.
Did Palestinians living in Israel as “Israelis” avoid the purge? If so, how. I saw video of terrorists targeting homes but walking by others. Just wondering.
could be as simple as hanging a balaclava in the front window
Or, I don’t know,…painting blood over the door?
I have a sneaky suspicion that now that the Ukrainian money laundering operation is still ongoing another has been created just in case. Military industrial complex influence working for maximum efficiency. Meanwhile our borders are wide open and nothing being done.
Isn’t it ironic, AG Garland trying to imprison President Trump, the biggest defender of Israel while Biden aids their enemy. Garland, your ancestors would label you as a collaborator that should go before the Kapo Trials.
Self hating Jew, the most dammed of all creatures upon this Earth.
Israeli
kidsbabies locked in cages in gaza? Cant verify.“Israel formally declared a state of war on Sunday as the death toll from an unprecedented Hamas attack a day earlier rose above 700, with the fate of over a hundred people abducted and taken to the Gaza Strip still unclear,” The Times of Israel reported Sunday evening.
Those looking for a battle between good and evil, will not find it in Ukraine v. Russia, but they will find it here with Israel v. Hamas.
Neither side is listening. Each side thinks they are right and morally secure. And that God is with them alone and against the other.
I doubt God would be on the side that slaughtered women and children and dragged their bodies through the streets
Islam worships the moon god.
Apparently you are ignorant of history. Only the Jews are God’s chosen people; whereas, Hamas worship satan.
Aaaaaand another troll speaks.
Danm broad at CBS keeps nagging the Ambassador as to how this could happen, leaving out “I thought you Israelis are so good at protecting yourselves, what happened jerk?”
That’s the impression I got, I could be wrong…probably am but I don’t like her–never have, my bias is out there for all to see!
I stand with Israel; for Hamas…and Iran, total unconditional surrender would be my goal for sure!
As to Obama and his ilk…go away, far away and shut up forever!
I have spent the good part of the day reading ‘Jew hate’ on the internet. The amount of it is overwhelming
By the way, they apparently have found military equipment that was sent to Ukraine, in Gaza.
American automatic rifles. This surprises no one. There has been ZERO accountability for anything the US has sent to Ukraine. On purpose. Otherwise the money laundering would be apparent to all.
One of the many problems with the useful idiots of the west is that they view a 7th century murderous cult through the eyes of 21st century apathy and ignorance.
Hamas attacked for a number of reasons. The ongoing coup against Netanyahu, that leftists in the military were refusing to serve, and the support and money Iran received from the Biden regime.
I have heard that the Taliban is run by Pakistani Intelligence, which was involved with the creation of the Muhjadeens in Afghanistan that morphed into Al-Qaeda. The following post if you follow the dots would then lead back to Pakistan and their connections amongst the Intell agencies who are all connected. I believe the good people of Israel find themselves in the same or worse situation than us, treasonous/corrupt/criminal politicians, and their Intelligence agencies.
With thanks to T.Turtle who posted this on another thread today.
“Taliban Releases Statement Following the Israel-Hamas War — Urges Islamic Nations and International Community to Act Against Israel”The Taliban was also responsible for arming the Hamas terrorists. Earlier this year, Newsweek reported that the US weapons left in Afghanistan had been smuggled to the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip.
The Cradle reported:

Americans were among the hostages as well as the dead. Why hasn’t this shell of an administration joined the attack? Oh, wait, they already sent Hamas the $85 billion worth of stuff from Afghanistan.
Drop a bomb on Hamas

“We”?
If ever there were a time for a regime change, it’s now…….in the United States of America!
Currently we have only FOOLS steering the ship.
We need President Trump back in office now, ASAP!
Any voter paying the least bit of attention should see the complete difference of having Donald Trump as President vs Joe Biden or any other lefty candidate with each passing day.
A month ago President Trump predicted the $6 Billion that Biden gave Iran would be used for terror attacks and hostage taking across the ME.
As usual, President Trump was right again. How many more times does he have to be proven right for some voters to get the message?
Of course there are American hostages. Terrorists now know the American White House will pay lots of money for hostages. More American hostages = more money.
Iran got $16 Billion, for 5 Americans, so Hamas figures they will all retire on what they get from these American Hostages,…we may be looking at another “Day 243, of the Hostage crises.”
Somebody pull Ted Koppell out of mothballs, and get him up to speed.
I am horrified at what is going on and condemn Hamas terrorism thoroughly. All terrorism. All criminal activity.
But I cannot help having some observations and questions and more questions. If you think about this in a very wide perspective, this has come at quite a “convenient” time for many people.
It is a complete and total distraction from the internal problems that Israel has been having……the protests, the questions about the court changes.
It makes Iran the bad guy here (and Iran may be the bad guy, I certainly don’t know), but the State Department has said they do not know if Iran is involved. I would bet they DO know and that Iran is probably not directly involved any more than the US NGO’s who support the Palestinians.
In the last 3 or 4 weeks, I have been seeing an effort in the media to picture Iran as a bad and suspicious actor. In the past, there were the “women’s protests” which were not as widespread or supported in Iran as our media made them appear. Though that was supposed to raise a groundswell of support, it fizzled. In fact, on February 13, 2023, there was a widespread demonstration in support of the government – 20 million people all over Iran.
It comes at a time immediately after a $6 billion dollar release of Iran’s own money that we had confiscated from them which made a lot of Americans angry thinking it was our tax dollars being sent. It wasn’t.
It comes at a time when Iran has made peace agreements with Saudi Arabia and Syria via Chinese diplomats which tended to isolate Israel in the region. Iran has been developing ties with Russia and is increasingly circumventing US sanctions.
It comes at a time when the Ukraine conflict has lost US citizen support and the weapons manufacturers and military contractors are most likely concerned about future profits. Congressional and Biden money laundering is increasingly a public outcry.
It comes at a time when free speech is under attack. The horror of these events gives an opening to clamp down on any anti-semitic speech and there is a lot of it from left wing and right wing.
A reminder, Iran is #5 in the world in resources – ahead even of China which is #6.
I do not trust the Biden administration. They have shown no concern for the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian or Russian lives. They will have no real caring for the lives of Israelis either. They will view this from the perspective of “How can we profit from this crisis?” as they have every other crisis during the last 3 years.
Fake the Nation…I caught myself just in time before this latest distraction got the better of me. As I thought we all already knew, it really has gotten to the point where if the msm is telling you something its for the purpose of deceiving you. Remember, this all gets worse if we dont stop the election fraud that the media says doesnt exist. Fight the urge to be entertained and use your energy to fight the fraud..Good luck everyone.
Turn Iran to glass then the Gaza strip. Wash your hands of it this will be the ONLY way. Like Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but the entire country.
The narrative is running into a wall of truth prepare. Pray
