It’s not the ground invasion; it’s a larger tactical strike operation with pauses to gain overhead intel. Without any doubt, the targeting and ordnance is from the command and control of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), but the aerial feeds (in review) are likely U.S. DoD support flowing directly back to the IDF.
Israel appears to be ramping up the direct targeting of Hamas operations in Gaza. Unfortunately, Hamas has the mechanics of their terror machine enmeshed with the civilian population centers and key infrastructure. This allows Hamas to conduct Pallywood propaganda operations in the aftermath. Culturally, the Palestinian people live amid a social value system that rewards victimhood – the more dramatic, the more useful.
(Via Daily Mail) – Israeli warplanes have tonight unleashed airstrikes of ‘unprecedented’ intensity across all parts of the Gaza strip, as it announced it was ‘expanding’ its ground forces’ operations.
The aerial onslaught came with a warning from the IDF to Palestinian civilians still living in Gaza to move south as soon as possible, amid fears that the long-awaited ground invasion of the enclave may take place within hours.
The bombing, which observers described as much more ferocious and louder than previous days, coincided with electricity and communications blackouts in much of the besieged enclave.

According to one report the Israelis even unleashed ‘bunker buster’ concussion missiles to try and destroy the extensive Hamas tunnel network under Gaza.
IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari telling reporters at a press conference today: ‘In recent hours we have increased the attacks in Gaza.
‘The air force widely attacks underground targets and terrorist infrastructure, very significantly.
‘In continuation of the offensive activity we carried out in the last few days, the ground forces are expanding the ground activity this evening.’ (read more)
The Israeli war against Hamas is likely to be a long duration event, encompassing several months. The network of tunnels that Hamas has developed under the Gaza strip will have to be targeted methodically in order to try and minimize “civilian” casualties. However, the tunnels are located in places for maximum “human shielding” such as the Shifa Hospital – example above.
We end up watching something akin to a catch-22. Israel can only take this methodical approach, lasting several months, because the U.S. presence is deterring other foreign actors from getting involved. Without the U.S. military presence, the slow and deliberate process of trying to avoid civilian casualties would have to be a lot faster and likely create more collateral damage.
Last point, as we watch the international news feeds of ground reporting on the Israeli War, I again note there was nothing even remotely similar to this type of 24/7 footage from Ukraine. It is a striking contrast to pause and consider the difference between the two conflicts as represented by real time media footage.
No real-time Ukraine footage because Ukraine and NATO are getting their clocks cleaned?
Either that or there is no actual fighting taking place…but then it’s kind of hard to justify BILLIONS of additional us tax dollars! (Paging Mike Johnson – NO more “aid” to Ukraine!) Just sayin…. 🙄
All we’ve ever seen from Ukraine are still photos of after an attack. Like a Hollywood movie set………and I think that is exactly what we’re being shown
Well, Ben Stiller visited the war zone, so it must be real.
He was in Tropic Thunder.
oh that was funny right there
Any celebrity there is obviously helping with the movie set
An American cinematic masterpiece.
Ah, yes, technical assistance lol.
There’s plenty of footage from Ukraine. Just not in the corporate media. Zerosum or russianswithattitude on twitx, tons on telegram. Lots of bs there too but same as everywhere I guess you just gotta sort it out for yourself.

Good call on Simplicious, simply the most authorative analyst of Russia Ukraine war. Big Serge on Substack is also great .. Hes literally rewriting the book on maneuver warfare
visit moonofalabama.org to see daily update on UKR. war……or war24/7news…
A potempkin war?🦨
You must watch our propaganda fake news💁🤷♀️💁
There is plenty of footage. Lots of it!
Remember when 9/11 happened and mainstream media stopped showing the Towers falling…because it was too “traumatizing “ for some people..same thing with Russia -Ukraine conflict 💁🤷♀️💁
Try Telegram…..for starters
There was a movie – ostensibly about the Clinton presidency
“Wag The Dog”
Not remotely true.
There is aerial footage of Ukraine soldiers getting blown-up by land mines.
Tanks exploding…
You missed ..plant your flag time at the slag heap the last couple of days.
The Russians plant their flagpole when they reach an area. Troop company flag on top..then Russian flag below.
Ukrainians get peeved and shoot at the flag pole.😂
One video was hilarious…after the dust settled…they got the flag pole ..but only got the company flag. Russian flag was still flying.
Me…..I started singing the Star Spangled Banner 😁
Usually it is just blood, guts and gore….but once in awhile there is humor.
and in photos Putin is mostly smiling/smirking
and Zelensky looks desperate with his hand out
for more US dollars
Fake WAR
Nothing fake about the hundreds of thousands of young men killed.
Just like CNN and Ben Stiller told you. In truth we know nothing of anyone who has died in Ukraine. How bout the thousands killed in the war on covid? More fake news.
Innocent blood has been shed but not the way you ve been told to think it has.
Col McGregor has done heaps of reporting from the war zone. He estimates 4-500,000 Ukes dead. Maybe 80-100,000 Russians.
I believe him.
Finally something that everyone can agree on. Conservatives and Liberals, Democrats and Republicans, EVERYBODY Agrees there is a real war in Ukraine. Its like One Big Happy Uni-Party. The games must go on.
Why cant we have that kind of mutual understanding with the 2020 election?
The dead bodies go away if their audience stops watching. As Covid went away when the guinea pigs stopped testing.
McGregor has not got anything right yet.
Well, what is the death toll or do you think the whole thing is made up?
Tried to get any info on the USA soldiers on the reconnaissance mission into Gaza that McGregger said got “ shredded”. All i got back was crickets. Doubt that ever happened.
Shitferbrainz with Delta operators in Israel on his recent ‘visit’, most photos now have faces blacked out because of “White House screw up”:

BS…Pinot Noir….
war is death
that’s why one shouldn’t start any
and, if you find yourself in one
strike a dagger in your enemy’s heart
dragging it out results in more deaths
make no mistake, this is Biden’s war
I’ve no time for Western involvement in Ukraine—but Macgregor definitely is misleading over Taiwan, pushing the Peking CCP line; and he hasn’t a clue about history (apparently has never heard of Waterloo or Trafalgar). If he is unable to get publicly available information correct, how can anyone trust him over difficult or impossible to verify information?
To steal a line: If you don’t listen to Macgregor, you are uninformed. If you do listen to Macgregor, you are misinformed.
Both sides (USG/NATO/Ukraine and Russia, along with their respective fanbois) are lying, both sides are pushing propaganda. We’re not going to know the truth of the Russo–Ukraine conflict for at least 10 years after the conflict finally ends, if even then.
Try Telegram.
There are quite a few people I have been following since the beginning.
Patrick Lancaster..he has been following since the beginning 2014. He has a YouTube Channel.
good one…
Certain authors who have demonstrated highly, highly detailed understanding of the subject and whose conclusions completely undercut the MSM and NATO and our own neocon elite say different. There have been enormous casualties, especially for Ukraine.
Some of us actually know people from the Ukraine. You are simply making stuff up. There is a war, people are dying, places are being destroyed. Pretending otherwise serves no good purpose.
Of course they need additional billions of dollars. After all, that latest writers strike in Hollywood is makin’ these productions freakin’ expensive!
Also, Z needs another mansions somewhere peaceful in the world and his wife is looking forward to a shopping trip in Singapore or London.
VikingMom,
Do concieve of ANY way that “they’ are going to be willing or able to provide US, with transparent accountability for where the $60-100 Billion already sent “to Ukraine” ended up?
No, of coarse not.
So, if Johnson takes the view”more than happy to DISCUSS more $ for Ukes, once you give us transparent accounting of the $ already sent,…that ends the discussion, while looking perfectly reasonable.
End result, no $ for Ukraine, but our side seems perfectly reasonable, AND when they can’t or won’t provide accounting, the obvious question is, …WHY NOT?
WHAT are they hiding?
And, if they can’t or won’t account for the $ already sent, WHY would we agree to MORE?
IF that is what Johnson is doing, then kudos to him…and yes, if he simply says “No more money until we get a full accounting of what has already been spent” then I would be thrilled. But if, as has been reported, he is turning the issue over to Dan (Neo-con) Crenshaw, then we have been snookered once again.
I will give him the benefit of the doubt for now but the next week or two are going to be VERY instructive, IMHO!
He mentioned ole one eye, once as being one of a group of vets that are working together, and everyone freaked.
“Patience, Francis” we will have actual ACTIONS to use, to Judge the new SOTH quite soon.
Nov 17th the CR expires, and for that and other reasons, he has to hit the ground running.
Frankly, I am not optimistic, and am disappointed my #1 choice “Nobody” and #2 choice “Somebody ELSE” were pushed out of the Running.
I felt having “NOBODY” was a great “back door” way to “shut down the Govt.” and would STILL like to see this whole ploy flipped, by LETTING it get shut down, permanently.
So, definetly NOT ‘Defending’ MJ, just saying I don’t see any ACTIONS yet, upon which to judge whether I should cook my crow and eat it, or put in back in the freezer.
Very
We are always being snookered
it just takes a bit of time to
determine the how’s and why’s
I am cautious about Johnson
because all of a sudden we were
gifted an apparent MAGA speaker?
At the start of Ukraine, there were people on the internet saying some of the war pix were from years ago. So again, who knows?
he’s already stated he is in favor of more money for ukraine.
I have been to the Ukraine on business and have, or did, two customers there. I saw early in the war video taken in Kharkiv clearly showing the hotel I stayed in with damage, and the manufacturing plant in another location was destroyed. I’ve heard from neither customer in over a year now.
There is a war in the Ukraine. I have no clue how anyone can doubt this. The russians invaded, this is clear.
there can be both a war
and faux optics
Sure, in every war or military conflict there is propaganda put out by both sides. It’s a war and all tools are used.
I didn’t say or suggest there wasn’t false reporting. The statements pretending there is no war are from idiots or liars.
Might I suggest you search Youtube and other social media sites. There are many real-time videos of the fighting in Ukraine.
And no accounting for the billions upon billions of taxpayer money handed over for….what??
Mansions for the Ukrainian oligarchs all over the world?
Diamond jewelry for “Mrs” Z?
The “laundromat” for how many ever DC entities are getting their 10, 20, 30% (more??)
It certainly isn’t for the churches there. They’ve all been shut down.
Whoever knows…nor are we likely to.
But, hey!!! Whatever it takes for “democracy” to flourish, right?
We aren’t even toting up the cash into the Congress Critters laundry businesses.
That’s what they’re afraid of…betcha 😎
Almost all foreign aid is a scam. A percentage gets kicked back to congress and when the president isnt Trump, to the president too. Remember when they gave 60 million to pakistan for gender studies? But if your pakistan you say sure ok, you take the 60, give back 20 million as agreed, and move along.
Foreign Aid is the act of taking money from poor people in a rich country and giving it to a rich person in a poor country.
And continue to beat your women “lightly”….
is that how they determined that homosexuals
should be thrown off buildings?
It won’t be democracy flourishing in Ukraine. It will be BlackRock. Get ready for an eye-watering proposition for rebuilding the country of Ukraine by Blackrock, so agriculture can be restarted, for Blackrock, because all the Ukrainians left and foreign contractors will need barracks to live in, while working for BlackRock. Only then can they keep buying more US real estate in foreclosure and sky-scrapers in big cities for 5 cents on the dollar.
ISN’T DEMOCRACY GREAT WHEN YOU ARE A HIDDEN COMMUNIST IN YOUR BASEMENT RUNNING A ROGUE ADMINISTRATION?
So Trump sought to settle the European issues with Russia and forge renewed US-Russo ties through India to contain China. It was a brilliant strategy. Not to mention Trump’s work with Turkey, Pakistan, and even his hardline against Iran was having an impact in the Middle East. The Gulf nations (GCC), we’re making peace with Israel (whatever happened to that momentum?).
Trump’s ties in Latin America were strong. He had the Central American countries in check around immigration. Mexico was cooperating with the U.S.. South America was moving back towards a U.S.centric view, away from China.
To say Trump’s foreign policy initiatives were a great missed opportunity for the U.S. and the World is a massive understatement! Think about all the regions in the world where Trump was making progress in. Even in North Korea there was progress!
Only with our “allies” in Europe and Asia was there tensions, yet Trump had their number too. He just needed the second term to get them right.
Stolen Elections have consequences indeed.
USA GDP is WAR. How sad is that!
Not only that but a vast portion of the American middle class is dependent on high paying gov jobs. And those jobs are dependent on deficit spending. Stop borrowing (or printing) money and the entire show might collapse.
Vast??? Overall public sector employment is 14.5% or 20.5 million. That percentage is divided between state, federal and local agencies. Federal employment accounts for roughly 6% or 9million of that total. Not exactly a huge amount. Private business and corporations (public and privately held) account for the lion’s share of the employed workforce.
The borrowing and printing of money (both having the same overall effect) needs to be stopped, no disagreement there.
Not US. It’s going out the door to Ukraine, ISR, & other countries
Or, because the Russians actually DID conduct operations in such a,way as to minimise civilian casualties, because they percieved it as being in their best interests to?
This could all be avoided if those PALASTINIANS would just go back to where they came from!
you mean Jordan?
Yeah, as there is no map with the country of “Palestine” there is no Palestinian language (they are ARAB, and their culture is raising their children to be martyers, and is only 60? years old.
Patrick Lancaster, independent journalist, has been transmitting footage for the last year with Russian ground forces. He was in the worst areas showing what’s actually happening. Check out his YT channel. I don’t agree with him on his recent reporting about Hamas, but no one is perfect.
“I don’t agree with him on his recent reporting about Hamas“
so… if he is lying now, was he lying then?
Who said anything about lying? I don’t agree with his perspective. He uses actual footage in the Ukraine conflict. And interviewed Ukrainian citizens in those war-torn areas, which exposed the lies that the MSM were reporting. In his Gaza reporting he is only interviewing the PA, which is the same perspective as the MSM. He needs to do interviews from the survivors and families of the israeli dead in that attack.
I like this. Looks like at least one tunnel is destroyed!
https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/21001
Mikgen – awesome tunnel footage!!
many thanks for posting this most excellent video. I pray the bombs can destroy the web underneath the hospital. thanks again!!!!
Thank you for sharing that was awesome .. For a peaceful people, per the communist news network, there sure was a lot of secret tunnel destruction footage..
I will have to follow him. Thanks for channel name.
And the SJWs insist no culture is better than another…
This article here is what you call contradictory evidence.
Anything that Israel is blamed for will be visited 10x on us. Most see Israel as an extension of US hegomy.
The media will follow that narrative.
Evil tends to reveal itself eventually. A righteous response is necessary.
They put the munitions under the hospitals because Satan likes death and hates life and they follow Satan.
Say hello to my little GBU-72
In coming!
Thy Will Be Done
.
On Earth as it is in Heaven…
Amin!
“Culturally, the Palestinian people live amid a
social valueglobal political system that rewards their self imposed victimhood – the more dramatic, the more useful”.And through it all, they remain their own worst enemy.
Wish the Israeli troops the best. They must feel very nervous and the momentum to make their people proud .
Hope they have few losses to report.
I would hope if the Israelis go do this that go all the way.
The IDF is methodical in its military mission, to minimize civilian casualties and ultimately be victorious. Hamas on the other hand, prefers propaganda, using civilians as shields. To hamas, how the propaganda is perceived is more important.
ahh, in other words, Hamas are Democrats
Absolutely💯.
The only reporters allowed in Gaza are those pushing the Hamas narrative. MSM plays along, pushing Hamas propaganda. The myth that there is a “Gaza Health Ministry” is just one of many lies. The existence of an “occupation” is a lie. That Israeli hostages are actually treated well is a lie. That the Israelis killed 500 Palestinians in a strike on a hospital was a lie.
Notice Hama Crisis actor
What do you think of these clown actors? Nice new costumes also.
Nice tennis shoes, couldn’t find some boots?
Good catch on the shoes….
Another fashion faux pas brought to you by the alphabet…and once again, Aggiegirl is once again clutching those pearls…white shoes with black trousers…the indignity!
And after labor day too!
Change the color scheme, and they look an awful lot like they should be piling out of a U-haul truck, forming ranks and marching here in the U.S.
Or the 4’th Psyop Group on a team outing.
Same FEDS, different costumes . . .
Those black sox and brown shoes…Aggiegirl will have to get her Mikimoto’s restrung….y’all are killing it!
And about that American individuality…they all seem to have the same sunglasses? Did Bausch and Lomb give the govt a deal?
I still insist that they were waiting for the gay bars to open on Dupont Circle. 😆
The FBI? LOL
Where are the khakis?
It’s a miracle!
How else is he going to make those payments to his orthodontist (who’s probably Israeli)?
Note the guy in the hospital bed has not one bruise on him.
the IDF was embarrassed by the hamas invasion and the Israeli casualties.They were embarrassed enough to eliminate hamas.There is no substitute for victory and the winners write the history so all those crying a river for hamas, indulge yourselves
Ron Paul – Israel Created Hamas
I refuse to buy into either side. There are lies and evil in all of this.
Can we ever stop meddling in other countries’ affairs? Decades of proxy wars, and what good has come of it? We are still bogged down militarily all over the world, and all we’ve achieved is the erosion of our own economy and culture, and never-ending disputes involving more death and destruction than if we had never interfered.
It has become sickening to listen to people everywhere righteously cheering for the death and destruction of one or another political entity that we have been led to believe has caused grievous harm to some some place or people. It’s as if the whole world has become a gruesome nightmare, featuring bloodthirsty madmen.
More and more these days, I’ve begun to believe that there is something (worthwhile)to be said for isolationism.
Agree.
Most days I feel like I am watching a train wreck in slow motion.
It sounded to me like Ron Paul said that the US created Hamas through Israel.
Glad someone else remembers. The same people who told us that Iraq had a nuclear weapons program and were behind Al Queda are telling us that Iran is behind all of this. Many of the exact same people. Remember Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to Congress and telling us that Saddam had a nuclear weapons program it could be another: Holocaust!!!!
The real reason has to do with Iran joining BRICS and becoming impervious to their sanctions program. The neocons by destroying Iran can also further box in Russia by cutting off access to the Gulf through Iran.
Yet here we are again and most Americans will fall for it. Can anyone tell us why we should believe them this time? Charles Manson would have more credibility than these people.
They want to break the logjam to their war plans caused by Orthodox Christian Russia helping secular Syria in their fight against the Saudi & Co-CIA terrorists they call “ISIS” & the one they told us did 9/11 “Al-Qaeda”
General Wesley Clark “We’re going to take-out 7 countries in 5 years.”
Sorry replied to Dutchman below instead of you. It was reported that Russia will allow Iran the use of it’s air base in Syria since Israel is bombing the Aleppo Airport.
Israel has been wanting to break the Shia Crescent which would be secular Syria. Syria was fighting the very terrorist groups “ISIS” & “Al-Qaeda” that we were told did 9/11 and was fighting in Iraq & Syria, even though Congress never declared war on secular syria, and if the war on terror was real and not fake like it is, Syria would be an ally along with iran, and saudi Arabia & most of the Gulf states are enemies.
Dr Assad & his family have long protected the large Christian community, and the various other minority groups that comprise secular Syria.
In short look at Dr Assad’s Western secular attire. The Syrian war was contrived to break the Shia Crescent for the big one of the 7 nations that general clark discussed Iran. I watched pre-Iran Syria operations group Syria on the Travel Channel and it was secular, ‘diverse’ and peaceful.
Their ISIS thugs they sent to overthrow Assad murdered and displaced Christians who had lived in their communities since shortly after Christ walked the earth. Now the ones left are scattered to the winds.
Your very astute friend. One of the group here that is very awake & aware. I hope you stick around.
Assad is a mass murderer.
He will kill children with chemicals and lead. He is a monster.
All out assault against CHRISTIANITY!
Johnson supporting more money to Ukraine- day ONE.
Same day, or within 24 hours, Zelensky/Ukraine “outlaws” completely, beyond existing atrocities, the entire Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Hello!
People aren’t thinking, they are holding their Bibles as justification while aiding and abetting in their own destruction.
They are looking at the black and white, and are totally blinded by the gray that is coming to get them.
Agree…same people..same lies.
Even recently….Russia running out of ammo.
Putin dying.
Russian is losing…
Blah…blah..lie after lie.
One of the latest was a Ukrainian missile fired into a marketplace.
The media actually doctored the photos that showed direction it came from .
The reflection was on the windows of cars 🥴 they photoshopped it out.
Then you had the direction people were looking…
Two weeks later it was determined…Ukraine fired the missile.💁🤷♀️
It’s not like it is ancient history..the Russian conflict has only been going on for 18 months!
Sullivan during an interview/press conference one week before the Hamas attack said…..
The Middle East is the quietest now than it has been for the last two decades.
And …🤷♀️💁🤷♀️
People still believe the propaganda.
The propaganda….and hypocrisy is just…off the charts.
I am amazed that more people have not realized..don’t trust the media, politicians, and especially Biden and Kiddos.
Certainly the CIA, along with Congress, created Osama Bin Laden.
I used to see his name spelt “USAma Bin Laden” then they changed the spelling because it came too close to the truth. I went on the UN website and it was spelt “USAma Bin laden”
Hamza Usama Muhammad bin Laden
https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/content/hamza-usama-muhammad-bin-laden
I heard a news report that after Israel bombed the Aleppo Airport again, Russia will allow Iran to use it’s air base in Syria to land it’s aircraft.
So it looks like it may be game on.
Long before that, my friend.
Israel won’t blow up the hospital. Hamas will and blame then Israel. The media will then blame Israel and excoriate them. Then weeks later after the fact tell the truth. Propagandists at work. Sean Hannity and his FOX news fair and balanced WEF media controlled propaganda network should hang from the highest tree.
Then Hamas will send one of their poorly made missiles into Jerusalem and it will hit the Dome on the Temple Mount and Hamas and the media will blame Israel. Looking for it to happen. Just saying.
they already faked it
The best plan would be to avoid entering Gaza on the ground. The Israelis will take many casualties. Their reputation will suffer. So will the US’. The BRICs will be repelled, which is what the Uniparty wants.
Israel fell asleep, and allowed the savages to walk in and kill people. They have to properly secure their borders with or without an attack. So what purpose does an attack serve? Revenge? Killing the savages is fine, but invariably, many others die. That hurts Israel in the long run.
Open borders are a scourge. Better to focus on that problem alone. There’s a lesson for us here too. Rather than warring outside our borders, why not war at our borders, and defend them against the savages?
Disagree. Israel will be far safer without Hamas terrorists in the vicinity.
Except, for the Israelis, as for us, the enemy is within.
Good luck Israel….
but….
BRING OUR TROOPS HOME….NOW.…!!!!
Like an aggressive cancer, the best the Israelis can do is maybe put Hamas in remission for a few years. The title speaks volumes, “…Hamas in Gaza” Hamas is in lots of places. It is a metastasized cancer. They will not be able to do enough damage to kill the cancer without killing half of Gaza. And that’s before you realize that most of those “civilians” are Hamas, too.
What they may accomplish in a few months is enough bloodshed in Gaza that the young men celebrating their murder spree in Israel think twice before trying it again because they watched their buddies get vaporized by a bunker buster a few weeks later.
The only real winner? The Permanent War Party. This is the perfect war – a low-intensity urban conflict against a mob of 7th-century goat herders and unemployed malcontents that can never be won. Send it! $$$$$$
Sometimes I overthink things, and wonder why the regime would want to draw Iran into a war. The regime loves Iran. But the neocons have wanted a war with Iran – and by extension Russia – for decades. Then I step back and look at Ukraine and about $1T in weapons and support for a war that is coming up on its 2-year anniversary playing to a tie at best and a carefully-muted Russian advance at worst so as not to destroy Ukraine completely. (they need Ukraine, we don’t) This thing in Gaza is like the Crimea – the pretext to a stalemate proxy war.
Those are very, very, high profit margin wars.
Not a stalemate in Ukraine.
Russia appears to be sticking to their original plans. War of attrition.
Right now there is some fierce fighting going on at the slag heap. It looks like that area is the newest version of the Bakmut meat grinder.
Russia just cut off another supply line that Ukraine was using there.
Ukraine is still losing close to 500 troops per day.
Russia got a few more Ukrainian airplanes, at least one helicopter and at 2-3 more Leopards just the last couple of days.
Definitely not a stalemate.
Don’t forget Obiden poked the bear by pushing Zel. to join NATO. Putin said that if Zel. did so he would take them to war, and he did. Obiden wanted this war.
“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”
― Golda Meir
‘Palestinian civilians’ is an oxymoron since their children are brought up at a very young age to hate Jews. They are just future foot soldiers of allah, nothing more. Images of youths throwing rocks at IDF soldiers was for the consumption of the legacy MSM to feed the ignorant the impression that palestinians were just poor defenseless people trying to get by, while those heavily armed Jews made life miserable for them daily. Too bad that so many people fell for it.
They aren’t palestinians, they aren’t civilians, and they are not militants; they are TERRORISTS, bred into a culture of death, and generated BY the Bankers to be used by them, when needed.
They weren’t born to walk on water
They weren’t born to sack and slaughter
But on their soul, they weren’t born
To stoop and knuckle under
They can again learn to steal some thunder
They can again learn to work some wonder
And when the gauntlet’s down,
It’s time to rise and climb the sky
And soon the moon will smoulder
And the winds will drive
Yes, Israel grows older but it’s soul remains alive
All those tremulous stars still glitter, they will survive
Let their hearts now grow colder and as bitter as a falcon in the dive
ISRAEL UPDATE – ATTENTION!!!
-Palestinian media : “Israeli tanks invaded Gaza. Confronting them.”
-Heavy artillery sounds from Gaza are heard in the nearby towns of Israel.
-The above is after the Speaker of the IDF said that “The IDF will expands its activities”.
-The Speaker of Netanyahu to foreign media: “Tonight the turnaround begins, Hamas will feel our rage!”
-Reports that all cellphones and Internet are down in Gaza.
David, thank you for your daily ground reports from Israel on the Open Thread. Appreciate your efforts to keep us updated, including your detailed translations into English.
May you and your loved ones stay safe in the coming hours and days. And may Israel prevail and be forever free of the threat of another Oct 7. Shalom.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you,David. God Bless..
There is another major factor limiting the scope and duration of any operation conducted vs Hamas … the bulk of the Israeli Defense Force is a well trained “mobilized reserve force”,
As happened in the prolonged operations in 1983 vs Hezbollah in Lebanon and the earlier major incursion to actually occupy the Gaza around 2000, the economy of Israel took a hit because of prolonged enlistment of reservists.
The IDF has very careful balance between mobilize vs economic impact.
The IDF may not be able to mobile a large enough force and will be limited major limited objective incursions to do damage the Hamas infrastructure and eliminate Hamas operatives.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and more importantly a Christian man, now says that he supports additional money laundering for the fake war in Ukraine.
The turtle must have shown him where the $$$ laundromat ATM was.
I liked the previous speaker better already. Just think of the money we could save.
I share your observation on this my friend
Sure didn’t take long for the swamp to get to him.
He won’t get anything done if he stomps on that one right off the bat. Some stealth is gonna be necessary.
And yeah, I’m hoping, praying, begging to be right this time.
stealth, my ass
So, we have about 5 politicians that are loyal to the USA. What made you see the light? Not the lightbringer?
which 5 you talkn bout ? Im honestly down to 0 right now.
Agreed.
MP,
Do you envision any possible way that anyone can or will provide transparent accountability, for WHERE the $ already sent “to Ukraine” actually went?
Assuming your answer is “No, no freakin way” then can’t you see the trap the new Speaker has set for them?
“Sure, be more than happy to discuss MORE $ for that black hole, er,..Ukraine.
Just as soon as you can show where the $ we already sent, actually WENT?
WHAT do you MEAN, “NO”? You’re expecting MORE, its reasonable that we require you to account for whats been sent, FIRST.”
THAT is the scenario he is setting up, based on his statements so far.
I haven’t eaten crow,..YET on my previous position that this whole “new speaker” is yet another layer of controlled opposition,..but I haven’t yet said “I told ya so” cause his words are near meaningless, its his ACTIONS that will resolve the ?, and it shouldn’t take long, so lets not rush to judgement.
I appreciate the trap scenario you laid out but it all sounds too Q-ish and I officially learned my lesson after the 2020 selections. I dont see any 3d chess players working for good anywhere within the administrative state.
Dont you see, the Uni-Party can do Whatever they want. There is no accountability, There are no consequences, and there is no justice. We dont even have a real government right now. Dont you see? It was a real life coup in 2020 . Its a Un-elected executive and many in Congress and the Judiciary which gets worse with every passing election, with an agenda to persecute anyone who gets in the way of a complete gutting of what this nation stands for. If someone in Congress wanted to genuinely stop it, the mafia state would eliminate that threat with no oversight that would include Johnson.
Both of you have valid points.
The key is – CAUTION
Then I suggest you hire your own snipers and tell them to eliminate the enemy. Why do we sit on our hands and clutch our pearls if we think all is lost and we have no white knights? It is what the enemy in control does. Use tit for tat.

My man!
Did you hear about his support from Club for (no) Growth?
No…do tell!
lemme guess, he supports it because Dan Crenshaw told him too?
That’s why he got the job. All about the foreign aid and MI support for other countries.. Everything else is noise.
The rats still have to come out their tunnels to fight the IDF.
But….Come out they will. With their BELL RUNG!!!
Can the Israelis trust Joebama’s intel?
Who do you think Joebama gets his intel from?
A bit off topic but something to be aware of. I have friends and family in the country of Panama which is in the midst of a country wide protest that has turned violent with many blockades. They have reported large numbers, in the hundreds, groups of single military men heading for the costs Rican border. They are ME and not speaking Spanish. They reported they are very fit and all sporting military looking backpacks. Heads on a swivel folks, locked and loaded.
Correction on previous post. Military age men heading to Costa Rican border.
I followed what you were saying,..as it has a ME tie in, as hamas etc. HAVE threatened retaliation at U.S. for helping Israel, I am not sure your heads up is actually “off-topic”?
It’s not. As I understand it, Panama is still a corrupt banana republic?
A quick googledeegoo:
How many Muslims are there in Panama?
According to a Shia Muslim leader, the Muslim community, including Shia and Sunni, numbers approximately 14,000 and is centered primarily in Panama City, Colon, and Penonome, with smaller concentrations in David and Santiago in the western part of the country.
So one can assume, ‘they’ have help.
Please share any other info you hear of, from down there….!
War is coming, it was laid out in the 19th century by a Democrat confederate general whose statue that is in Washington DC, that is never talked about being taken down. That is why the open borders and pushing in of millions of “nihilists & atheists” as he called them back then.
Am an old Zonian-pre treaty…I can see that happening. The few Ex Pats that I know, I am not close to so I don’t hear much from down there anymore. But it is frightening to know that.
Did your friends say how they were traveling? By bus/chiva or walking thru the jungle? Along the Pan American Highway?
Tell your friends, “Gamboa Forever”.

Anyone who believes Israel does not have tactical assets in Gaza right now is missing the point.
These Initial air strikes have three missions; to probe enemy defenses, disrupt communications, and especially in this case, to herd leadership to known “safe zones”. At that point the ground forces will conduct quick counteroffensive attacks.
The mission is not to invade and hold ground, it is to degrade and destroy the enemies war fighting abilities.
The really tough part is this: what to do after the current leadership is destroyed. I get tired of reading here and on other blogs that the Israelis need to destroy the Palestinians completely. Be realistic, that’s not going to happen. There will always be survivors. It might take 5 years, 10 years, maybe more to regroup, but regroup they will.
We need some serious brain power to think that part through. And I mean really smart practical guys, the ones who only come around once every couple of hundred years….
By the looks of some of the captured terrorist being interrogated, I’d wager they are giving up the cookies. They look guilt ridden.
You would have to be a completely amoral brainwashed person to not at some point come to see the abject evil that they have perpetrated. I know there are many that way, but I also think that there are some that were caught up in the fervor and just engaged in evil acts that God is now tormenting their souls with.
MacArthur, 1945, military occupation of Japan. It was wildly successful. There’s your template.
Although realistically speaking, that came after two nukes…
Agreed.
How about, this is your land, enjoy it, stay in it, don’t leave it? Cause trouble, and you’re on your own.

Really smart people go to the source of problem solving.
Read your Bible while talking to God. He will answer.
I submit a VSG has come along, that knows what to do.
Defund rather than funding, and ignore and so make irrelevent the “leaders of the Palestinians” and cut deals with Israel and Gulf States.
IF 2020 not stolen Tehren would have cut a deal, and the arabs calling themselves “Palestinians” would have gotten rid of a leadership that was abusing them.
American Friends,
I know there were misunderstandings regarding the tunnels. You may not know but Israel entered Gaza on various rounds and had to somehow resolve the tunnel issue and eventually the technology was developed. In the last round in Gaza the whole strategy was a big deceptive move that made them think that we are invading from the ground and make them go into the tunnels and then burring them in the tunnels with the special bombs. It was only partially successful as not all bought into the deception.
The only two problems in dealing with the tunnels is not technical but humanitarian. Tunnels under hospitals and schools and UN facilities. And, hostages are in the tunnels.
Bellow are two recent ,the last few days, videos that show how tunnels are blown up. Notice there are two videos.

David, thank you for your timely contributions to our conversations and concerns. God bless and keep you and all our friends and families in Israel.
Appreciated!
Ty David. Where the funding & weapons is coming from is what we really need to find. I hope these rats are taken care of along with the rats directors. I have my suspicions.
Best to you and Israel
The main finance sources are Iran and Qatar. I also posted the following as a part of my update yesterday regarding 10/7 attack. . :
A lot of the equipment that the terrorist had were manufactured in Gaza but there were also thousands of arms which arrived to Gaza through Egypt. Things from the Syrian war including hundreds of explosives which some were used to breach the fence.
Israel is looking into it, the smuggling routes.
More than 10,000 weaponry means were located. Thousands of magazines, different sizes of explosives including for anti tanks, and RPGs (anti tank missiles )from Russia and North Korea, special thermo missiles which were used to create very high temperatures and burn houses with families. 1500 AK47s, thousands hand grandes, tens of anti aircraft rockets, tens of night vision means, hundreds of sniper rifles (called Dragonov), heavy machine guns, Explosives that imitate an IDF explosive for breaching fences and doors. Boobytraps, gliders that can drop explosives, Large Egyptian boobytraps.
Note: It looks like Egyptians let it happen if not helped.
Sounds great.
You got sources that you can share?
I am glad you asked. You led me to a long search and clarifying a mistake that I had. I will explain it and will also clarify for others.
The technology that was developed is for detecting tunnels. One can detect it with accuracy and drill straight into the tunnel or destroy it in other ways. I remember the combat engineers blowing up tunnels.
I saw using water or concrete and also bunker buster bombs that are probably what you see in the video above.
See source :
https://www.israelhayom.com/2018/06/27/developers-of-terror-tunnel-detection-system-win-israel-defense-prize/
In one of the rounds with Hamas Israel deceived them into tunnels and then blew up the tunnels from the air. I remember seeing images of the collapsed tunnels. So now that I looked into it I see those were probably bunker buster bombs. See reference:
https://nypost.com/2021/05/14/how-one-idf-tweet-led-to-false-reports-of-gaza-ground-attack/
Then last is the latest operation in the Lebanon border that was meant to destroy Hezbollah tunnels. In this one the detection technology was used and they then either flooded of poured concrete to seal it.
It is called Operation Northen Shield:

I so appreciate your posts! I am grateful to see each and every one.
Stay safe.
take over the hospitals
remove the people
bomb the shit out of it
and the tunnels below
Free the hostages, then surrender. Game over.
Neither the savages or the political elite in this country want that.
Powder dry, faith in our Lord, be ready.
Hamas have opened the gates of hell and the IDF have entered to clean it out.
Could the tunnels just be flooded?
We have the technology to blow them up. This is in the past couple of days. Shalom.
but your question is good.
Can you verify with evidence, please.
The ‘SPONGE bomb’ Israel are hoping to use to disable Hamas tunnels: New gadget expands and hardens, filling underground passageways
_____
Based around a liquid emulsion, the chemical compound can be dropped into a tunnel before rapidly expanding and hardening, potentially trapping attackers down alleys or securing safe routes for Israeli commandos while searching for hostages.

God help us. Please.
It pours …….. right down in those holes. Be sure to say — Do you surrender first.
The MK-77 is the primary incendiary weapon currently in use by the United States military. Instead of the gasoline, polystyrene, and benzene mixture used in napalm bombs, the MK-77 uses kerosene-based fuel with a lower concentration of benzene.

Pray for Israel. They are surrounded by some of the most evil people ever, who have been bankrolled by most of the west. Trying to be as humane as possible while fighting for your existence is gargantuan. And most of the world hates you when you do. Using innocents to shield your fighters is special. And Hamas used most of those billions for war. They also tax everything that moves and a tidy 16% of income.
I agree but I think they have a major problem of traitors/criminals/globalists/Luciferians in positions of power & influence much like America and other “cucked” nations. I am hoping they can root them out as well as the Globalist terrorist clowns from Hamas. How closely are they related to the ISIS & Al-Qaeda terrorists that secular Syria, Russia etc were fighting? Does Hamas get brand new Toyota’s also? Does their weapons come from the new Operation Cyclone drop in Afghanistan? Or the Ukraine money laundering operation?
We are on the knifes edge of WW3 and Armageddon.
No wonder they like soccer so we’ll over there. Drama sells.
Go Israel!!
Wahabi Salafi Trolls and Psyop Practitioners. Busy working on the latest “news” for Middle Earth, oops I mean the Middle East
“pause and consider the difference between the two conflicts as represented by real time media footage.”
Unlike the Ukraine Israel offers the reporters a nice 5 star hotel, great meals and night life in the midst of their reporting. In Ukraine to report you had to get dirty, cold and out in the country.
At the same time it is very important to Israel that the world see what is going on. Imagine the Hamas failed missile strike that hit the hospital if they had not been so public?
Ukraine is a money laundering operation and sacrificial pit to kill a bunch of people.
Most excellent analysis.
And the underlying theme is this:
Whether or not has “boots on the ground” in Israel is indifferent.
We are INVOLVED !
I remember when the Macedonian army surrounded and captured the terrorist NLA and surprise surprise. Amongst the terrorists captured (many from the CIA terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army) were US military trainers!
Wherever their is chaos and death, CIA is there.
Wherever Terrorists are being armed and trained, CIA is there: Azoz in Ukraine, NLA in Kosovo, ISIS in ME, Al Quada in Afganistan, Antifa in U.S., they are there, training, arming, financing.
Yes sir!
And you can back up about 40 years I know of and about 70 + or ~ that I believe.
Well, there you go.
Ok, I’ll bite. Give us a metric that we can use to compare to actual performance to check progress. How many children and other civilians being killed is too much?
It is a war crime and a crime against humanity. If I break into your house and beat you down and lock you into a closet in the basement, when you attack me -whatever I do back is not self defense.
I think a clear explanation of what the Palestinian people have been through in the past 80 years would have 80% of Americans saying “kill them all” if we had been subject to it.
Your analogy is flawed. Palestinians have been raining missiles down on Israeli cities for many years. That should never have been tolerated for a second. But, the tunnels must be rooted through and destroyed in order for Israel to secure its own lands. If you rain missiles down and destroy my house, don’t be surprised when I come over and knock your house down and destroy your ability to continue doing evil. Don’t expect me to weep over your slain body.
The Palestinians have been committing war crimes against Israel for years. Are you afraid to be treated according to your own morality?
Has anyone ever read Brigitte Gabriel’s autobiographies? It is a good start in trying to understand…
I am a somewhat black/white, perhaps shades of grey person
If your enemy is existing next to you on land that you gave up
so everyone could have a “peaceful existence”
and that enemy keeps lobbing missiles at you, then
jumps the shark and kills thousands of your people
in an unprovoked attack
then it is time to take over that region while driving
them out.
Every war, is chock full of crimes, and if its a big war,,sure its a crime against humanity.
And in every war, if you add all military deaths and injuries from all sides, you multiply by 10-20 at least, to estimate civilian casualties and injuries, thats the way it is.
Hamas starts it. Where were you the first day the actual news was reported about the first strike into Israel? Israel retaliates but never starts the fight. But the false media over all the air waves and idiots on the “View” report otherwise because they are paid propagandists for our 4th government coup.
This article was written in 2016:
https://fathomjournal.org/separation-is-not-the-answer-gershon-hacohen-on-israels-security/
This point of view was clearly evident prior to 2016. The United Nations was aware of this. That being said, the United Nations worked hand in hand with Hamas by allowing Hamas to incorporate their command and control structures within/underneath hospitals and schools. The United Nations actions are that of a war criminal.
The United Nations is complicit and accepting of the beheading of babies and the shooting of grandmas in the head.
The United Nations is a war criminal and owe reparations to Israel. One source of funds would be for Israel to obtain title to United Nations property in New York.
As to your final point, there is a great difference between the conflict in Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza.
Gaza is 25 miles long and 3.7-7.5 miles wide. A very restricted area, not more than 175 square miles. The Russian territory in Ukraine is plus or minus 40,000 square miles with a front that is several hundred miles long. Where are you going to set up your cameras?
The attacking force in Gaza is an ally and we want to show all the bombing and shelling and death of Hamas. Because the media line is exacting revenge/retribution. The Biden administration’s intention is to show the American people how strong we are, how brave, how exceptional. BTW, it is being reported that Delta Force is accompanying the Israeli IDF in their ground attacks.
The attacking force in Ukraine is Russia. The Biden administration didn’t want to show the fighting because it would show that Russia was not attacking civilians, that Russian troops were killing a lot of Ukrainian soldiers. It would show that the “Kherson offensive” that Wikipedia still lauds as a great victory was just Ukraine walking into positions that the Russians had strategically abandoned.
The fight in Gaza is in a small contained area that can be seen from helicopters, tall buildings. The fight in Ukraine often is over the horizon at a distance and the artillery explosions can’t be viewed to see what damage is being done.
The fight in Gaza is a populous area….lots of people, lots of cell phones. The fight in Ukraine is often for forests, fields, riverbanks, and small villages. It’s not splashy and a lot of civilians in small towns were moved out before fighting began.
The bombing by Israel is done in daylight and many explosions throughout the night. The bombing attacks in Ukraine often occur at night, when the only thing to take video of is the sound of Geraniums and a bright explosion in the distance.
Israel has made no rules about cell phone pictures and doesn’t care what is shown about the location of this weapons or air defense system because Hamas is not able to capitalize on knowing those locations. Ukraine doesn’t want people to take pictures of the arrival of shells which might give information to Russia about air defense. Neither side wants to give away through pictures the locations of artillery, tanks, weapons, and accomplishments in real time. Russia posts lots of video of the fighting, of the defeat of this or that rubble pile or armored vehicles, but MSM doesn’t show those because it might give Americans the idea that Ukraine is losing badly.
The fight in Gaza is a heavily armed Israel fighting a militia size force. They are going to be winners for all Americans raised on Hollywood endings.
nonsense
I fully support Israel going full Kaizer Soze on Hamas and anyone who supports them.
Israel = Good.
Palestine = Bad.
Do I have that correct?
Am I posturing appropriately?
(…it’s not so black and white and there are plenty of willfully self-imposed blind spots…)
Do you mean something like ignoring all the war crimes committed by Palestinians over many years by raining missiles onto civilians?
Perhaps you meant the rapes we witnessed just a couple of weeks ago? Maybe it was the murders of all the innocents.
Perhaps you meant the war crime of holding civilians as hostages?
Patience has run out with the evil of the Palestinian people. Their civilians will be treated with all due concern.
No. I mean something like ignoring all the war crimes committed by Israelis.
Apparently, we’re only supposed to see certain things while ignoring others.
The Great Pretending, and all that nonsense…
I’m tired of being inserted into everyone else’s conflicts and being told to look only at what they want me to see, and to believe only what they insist I believe despite having easy access to information which contradicts The Narrative, and also illustrates that there’s not one innocent party and another guilty party.
It’s their mess.
It’s not my war and I support neither side – they can figure it out on their own.
at this point, it doesn’t matter what happened previously
in the entire history of the world
enemies over time become “friends”
and friends over time become “enemies”
one just has to deal with it
and move on
Well, the difference in the “war” coverage of Ukraine and that of Israel/Hamas, is that Ukraine’s war was a green-screen production, allowing for “dignitaries” such as Lindsey Graham, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, et. al., to “tour the war zone” in complete safety.
Israel, on the other hand is engaged in a real war.
Council On Foreign Relations Clinton Administration’s illegal allowance of Iran shipments of weapons to Bosnia. (Saudi Arabia-Pakistan-CIA sent Jihadists)
USA: WASHINGTON: IRANIAN ARMS TO BOSNIA INVESTIGATION
Israeli Navy Seals (they are called Shayetet 13) have landed on Gaza shore yesterday. Attacked targets and left. One of the only videos ever of their usually secretive operations. I don’t know if it was on any media outside of Israel. Shalom.
I get a wide range of news including the outrageous BBC that interviewed a Hamas Rep last night. His deceptive facial expressions of “kindness innocence and gravitas” exposed his deplorable acting as he peddled the Hamas “Pallywood” propaganda to the extreme without interruption or any questioning by the BBC female host of his outrageous narrative. Will “the world” ever accept that radical Islam is a deeply inculcated (Nazi type) death cult that ignores all the facts and never responds to appeasement.
The majority of Jihadists like ISIS can never be convinced to willingly end their death cult mindset with money or cordiality as the foolhardy Biden attempt proves. Only a few rare individuals have ever escaped the mind controlling cults.
“Israel Daily” from Israel is the exact opposite of that preposterous BBC “interview.” Last night, they showed the faces of the Israeli solders killed in the initial attack. One female soldier was 18 years old and the oldest was a 40 year-old master sergeant. All the others were 19, 20 or 21. This perpetual conflict will always lead to war unless one side is defeated or unconditionally surrenders. With numerous cults scattered across the Mid East that is unlikely to happen during the following millennia if a nuclear war doesn’t hasten a different ending.
P Trump’s policy to limit Iran’s oil production etc was one of his best peacemaking initiatives and every proxy war conflict that is funded by Iran is the absolute fault of the stupid appeasing Biden handlers.
👉Thanks Arlan you gave an accurate summation👈
unconditional surrender with this pack of heathens means they are all dead. So be it.
Yes, so be it!
Why not just send all the Palastinians back to where they came from?
Do you also recommend sending violent criminals back to their own homes?
Islam allows lying or sometimes even DEMANDS lying if it brings the Islamic side an advantage when at war.
The notions of Taqqiya, Tawriya, Kitman, and Muruna (see The Religion of Peace website) are the four ways to deceive. And it’s called a ‘religion’.
