Israel Bombs Lebanon's Churches

We spoke to various Christian leaders in Lebanon about Israeli attacks. Among them, Father Tony Hanna, who runs the church in the town of Qaouzah, seen in this viral image which features an Israeli soldier smiling in front its ruins.

CENTCOM's Bradley Cooper is kibitzing with Israel lobbyists and laying the groundwork for a major escalation with Iran with minimal scrutiny from the media and Congress

I do think that he generalizes pretty heavily in the clip, discussing the “explosion of people criticizing Israel” and blaming it on “the Muslim world” and foreign accounts. I do think you’re right that he’s previously talked about the genocide causing public opinion backlash but I think it is also difficult to find consistency with Fuentes. Glenn G revealed, for example, that Fuentes believes in censorship and free speech crackdowns in certain cases while opposing censorship against himself.

Nick Fuentes auditions for a keynote speaker role at NatCon 2027 by suggesting — without evidence — that the reason Americans hate Israel is not because Israelis live-streamed their massacres of Palestinian children for 3+ years, but because anti-Israel sentiment is being orchestrated as a foreign op

[Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz]

🤯 Nick Fuentes nails the reasons behind the explosion of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred on social media. He understands it better than most because he helped fuel it.

Former South Carolina Governor and current war profiteer Nikki Haley, who somehow became known as a foreign policy guru after a short stint in a ceremonial role at the UN, says Trump’s mistake was not pushing the finish the war button early on in a country with nearly a hundred million people

[Harrison Berger @BergerPosts]

@cacafuegoo He says it was driven by “the Muslim world” and “the axis of resistance” and asks how many of Jackson Hinkle’s followers are from abroad. So yes, that is exactly what he said. Watch the clip. It’s just Fuentes recycling tired Zionist talking points.

Imagine Israel banning the entry of lighters into Gaza!

One of the most suffocating everyday crises we face here is the shortage of lighters. More than three families sometimes have to share a single lighter, as if even the most basic necessities of life have become forbidden luxuries.

Apparently, lighting a cigarette or starting a fire to cook has become a security threat that justifies all this blockade! At this point, all we're missing is an international permit to strike a match.

[Harrison Berger @BergerPosts]

The U.S.-backed Israeli siege of Gaza is causing shortages and massive inflation. @Tamer_Alnoaizy reports for @draagnet that a single lighter, which cost 25 cents before the genocide, now costs $50 each:

[Dragnet @draagnet]

Exclusive dispatch from Gaza: No cigarette lighters have entered the besieged Gaza Strip in three years, and a single lighter now costs around $50.

Dragnet's Gaza-based contributor @TamerNahed reports that people have begun working as "lighter repairers" to make a living. In some areas, as many as ten families share a single lighter because most people cannot afford to buy one.

With Gaza's public electricity grid taken off-line by Israel, lighters are essential for starting fires to cook food and warm milk for babies.

It's funny because he really has been a Democrat for years, but figuratively put on a MAGA hat like much of Silicon Valley in 2024 and — like all great crony capitalists — benefitted enormously from it!

[Brett Erickson @BrettErickson28]

MORE: Before Task Force Iron Gate was announced by CENTCOM on November 7th, Brad Bowman, the Senior Director of the Center on Military and Political Power for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, went on C-SPAN earlier that day where he stated:

“So I do think you’ll see a CENTCOM announcement this morning, maybe even as we’re speaking, to go after efforts not just to sustain the naval blockade, but to see what we can do about some things that will be coming into Iran via land routes.”

Why does FDD have access to this information? Why do they have it down to the DAY that CENTCOM will be making this announcement? Why does this strategy directly seek to escalate the war despite the American people clearly proving in the midterms they want it over?

How many times can FDD tip their hand that THEY are running the show… and failing miserably?

I asked this woman why she had surrounded her tent with sandbags, as if she were building defensive barricades in a war zone.

She told me that she and her husband had placed them there to protect their tent from the sea waves, as they live directly on the beach, and also to shield themselves from gunfire coming from warships targeting the tents.

Then she said something that captures the scale of this tragedy: “I feel like I’m living in a prison, not a tent.”

The IDF is announcing they murdered several Palestinian kids because the Palestinian kids were in an “area” where stones had previously been thrown from.
