Khaled Abu Toameh (@KhaledAbuToameh) – Prominent Muslim Israeli Arab journalist:

"If Israel were an apartheid state, I would not be allowed to work for a Jewish newspaper or live in a Jewish neighborhood or own a home.

The real apartheid is in Lebanon, where there is a law that bans Palestinians from working in over 50 professions.

Can you imagine if the Knesset passed a law banning Arabs from working even in one profession? The law of Israel does not distinguish between a Jew and an Arab.”

Israel sucks at "apartheid."

NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute:

President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan.

According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war:
“This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.”

In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives.

Key points in the offer:
• $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs
• Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime
• Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub
• Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons
• Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella
• Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb
• Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel
• Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime “secular and moderate” Iran

In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected.

Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as “a historic turning point” marking the beginning of a new regional order.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

But why is the op to turn people against Israel?

Two main reasons, aside from the weird ones.

1) To split Americans, especially Republicans (or MAGA or conservatives or "the Right");
2) The US-Israel alliance is the foundation of a peaceful future for the free world.

We've already talked some about (1) in the past. The idea is to use Israel as a wedge to divide Americans deeply. People who firmly oppose antisemitism will never respect or traffic with people who went into it again, and meanwhile, it's incredibly contentious.

It was a safe bet by the enemies of America that a huge portion of the American conservative base, especially Evangelical Protestants won't turn against Israel and will turn against anyone who turns against Israel. This is a useful bit of knowledge for (very Russian-feeling) divide-and-conquer political warfare operation.

[Our friend Insurrection Barbie (@DefiyantlyFree) did a splendid article on here a month ago outlining some of how this works in detail. You can be absolutely sure she hit a target by how they howled about it.]

I won't linger on the split America / MAGA / GOP / conservatives / "the Right" part of this story here. We need to talk about (2).

2) The US-Israel alliance is the foundation of a peaceful future for the free world in the 21st century.

As valuable as it is to break the "conservative side" and mentally poison Americans for a generation and maybe undermine Trump, the real agenda here is to undermine the foundation for the US-Israel alliance.

That alliance, you need to understand, is the foundation for a peaceful, prosperous world in the 21st century. It's chief opponent is the "Multipolar World" model advanced primarily by Aleksandr Dugin and his surrogates in the Western media, to which the Russian government, Iranian regime, CCP, and World Economic Forum (yeah, that Leftist globalist thing...) are all fully committed. It increasingly appears the Vatican (partner of the WEF as well, at least through side channels like the Council for Inclusive Capitalism) is on board with this program too.

Let's get real. Western Europe is failing and is on the precipice of disaster. The UK has joined them in this, as has much of the Commonwealth. Canada is openly making economic and SECURITY arrangements with the CCP. Australia is dipping from the former Western Alliance. South Korea got taken over by Leftists who want to give the country to China, and their former president is under persecution (as are Christians).

In other words, what we have thought of as "the Western Alliance" for the last 75 years is coming apart, and the competing model is the "Multipolar World," which is ultimately giving the East to China and the West to Islamism for the remainder of the century (with maybe an extra step or two). We need a new Allied Forces in the world against this new Axis.

Yes, btw, your favorite podcasters who are suddenly no longer making sense have joined the Axis Powers. That is how you should understand it.

The goal is to diminish the United States while the various Axis Powers rise: Russia, Islamist network (centered in Iran), and CCP. The Multipolar World model demands at least three (and here, four) roughly co-equal powers with different spheres of influence in the world, not a US-led hegemony of freedom, opportunity, security, and prosperity.

Russia gets the North. China gets the East. Islam gets the middle and Europe. America can dwindle and falter in the Western Hemisphere, pressured from both north and south and internally at ideological war.

For this to work, America has to be diminished on the world stage. The plan there is to isolate and foment internal discord while increasing external pressure. Classic Woke strategy. America will be isolated from its old allies, will not get new allies, and will be seeded internally with division and strife until it cracks. Meanwhile the whole external world will pressure it to break sooner.

In America, this agenda is actually called "America First," not as President Trump (probably unwisely) uses it but as the Panicans and Groypers have hijacked it. They are now clear that they mean America Only... and that they're working with Dugin. Dugin's model has always been to isolate America and split it apart from within, so we can see this model is not actually America Only but America Isolated (and eventually destroyed).

The thing is, American strength and resilience isn't the only impediment to this plan. The US-Israel alliance is a major impediment to this plan. If things go well, a free Iran will join that alliance. If things go better, so will India. If things go even better than that, so will an un-menaced Taiwan, along with Japan and maybe a righted South Korea (which is a tech supercorridor that cuts all the way across the Eastern Hemisphere, btw, and it's even sometimes called "Pax Silica" to replace Pax Americana).

Not only does it cut across the hemisphere, though; it also occupies, controls, and protects the key transport, travel, and shipping lanes through the geographical center of the world (connecting almost 6 billion people). China, Russia, and the Mullahs want to control that, but if the US-Israel alliance succeeds and grows, they're out to lunch.

Trump understands this. Netanyahu understands this. Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran also understand this. So do America's domestic enemies. You need to understand this, too.

What's being fought for is control of the world stage for the 21st century and likely part of, if not most of the 22nd. Right now. That's what's at stake while you see your favorite podcasters piss and moan about everything they can in order to get in the way of what's happening.

Either the world will fragment and allow the unchecked and uncheckable rise of Russia, CCP, and Iranian-style lunatic Islamism, or the US-Israel alliance will remain strong enough to defeat them and recruit other important giants into another century or two of a free, secure world in which lunatic dictators and ideological crackpots are sanctioned, disempowered, and on the run, if not destroyed.

The US-Israel alliance is a devastating blow to the Multipolar World ambition because it puts American strength and interests, not to mention freedom and security, squarely in the middle of the world. And Israel is unique in that its central motivation is its own security against existential enemies, who it will always fight and, short of Armageddon, always defeat. US and Israeli primary interests align, as do our secondary and often tertiary interests.

The alignment of interests there is key to the success of the alliance, although alignment of underlying values is as well. It's the same kind of alignment we used to have with Western Europe and the Commonwealth against Communism, but now that they've all but succumbed, we need a new plan. You can call it a new world order if you want, but the point is that we're already in a place of major change and have essentially two choices. Only one of them is good.

If you want a peaceful, secure, prosperous 21st and 22nd century, or any hope of them, you need to be backing the US-Israel alliance because it's the keystone of that hope.

If you want Western Europe and the Commonwealth to have any hope of being pulled back from the brink they're on, you need to be backing the US-Israel alliance because it's literally your only hope. You guys in those parts of the world are slated to join the Islamist and CCP wings of the spoils if this goes wrong. Enjoy your hijabs and social credit systems.

So I repeat something I said that went viral yesterday. If you have turned against the US-Israel relationship, or more specifically against Israel itself, recently, especially since October 7, 2023, you are a useful idiot for the cause to destroy everything you hold dear. You have been the victim of a massive psychological operation to advance the interests of your enemies, and that's why you now agree with LEFTISTS on just about everything. It's not us; it's you. They buck-broke you, boys, and now you're a retard. (You will not be able to contact an attorney for this, and you are not entitled to compensation, but if you get your shit together soon enough, you can at least undo some of the damage and recover your future and soul before it's too late.)

You should be supporting this alliance. You should be supporting a freed Iran to join this alliance. You should be supporting the destruction of the Multipolar World operation and vision. You should be supporting those who oppose Dugin and his surrogates. And so on, and so forth.

The choice is yours. In Liberty.

[The Persian Jewess @persianjewess]

Hatzalah were among the first to respond on 9/11.

Volunteer Hatzalah units across NYC self-dispatched within minutes, arriving at the towers before most other EMS units could fully mobilize.

8 Hatzalah volunteers were killed in the line of duty when the towers collapsed.

Hatzalah continued assisting in rescue and recovery efforts alongside the FDNY, NYPD and other EMS units for days after the terror attack.

War Resolve

In the past, casualties were the important and real limiting factor in any war.

Today, people are worked up over a transitory increase in the price of gasoline and the most evil regime on earth is banking its survival on the West being more concerned about money than lives.

Consequently they even execute teenagers without fair trials to create fear among the population to prevent an uprising. And the global anger is over gas prices not the executions.

It will take resolve to see it through. The Iranians appear to have enough command and control left to launch desperate attacks on the region and suppress people at home. The aims of the operation have not been met until that chain is broken and the regime can no longer inflict terror on the world. And that may well take another month or so to accomplish and so the world will have to decide if it can withstand a temporary bump in gas prices to rid us of one of its most evil actors whose despicable actions are even more evident each passing day. Hopefully we can find that resolve because the good of ridding the world of this regime, ending its terror network and ending its threats against the West far outweigh a spike at the pump that will quickly be forgotten once this is finished.

This sad, broken, stupid person was director of the national counterterrorism center?

Really?

His whole letter is just an argument that it's all one giant Israeli conspiracy. And it isn't even a good version of that argument. It's just a crazy reddit post on federal stationery. He got completely lost down that rabbit hole.

Lost enough to taint his own wife's death with this garbage.

No, Israeli officials didn't dupe Trump into an anti-Iran posture that Trump has championed consistently since long before ever running for office.

And no, Israel didn't dupe America into the Iraq War in 2003. Israel actually told America in real time not to go to Iraq because it was taking its eye off the real threat in Iran. That was Prime Minister Sharon's argument.

(Yes, Netanyahu once gave testimony in Congress in favor of the Iraq war. He was a private citizen at the time. If that was enough to drag America to war, you've got bigger problems than Israel.)

But it gets so, so much worse.

This poor sod literally claims he lost his wife to "a war manufactured by Israel." But he lost his wife in Syria fighting ISIS -- a fight he actually supports in this very letter.

So which is it?

It's tragic reading this kind of insane babble from a broken man.

More to the point, this isn't a man capable of understanding or articulating policy. He certainly wasn't in the room when any of these decisions were made. If he was, he wouldn't be telling old lies about old wars.

It's good that he's quitting. When all you can see is the demonic specter of the "Jew" blocking out everything else in sight, you no longer have much to offer your country.

No, America isn't this stupid. No, Israel isn't this nefarious or powerful. And no, your wife didn't die for Israel, but for America.

What a sad, broken, stupid, incompetent man you had running your counterterrorism, America.

And what a sad, pathetic party the Republican Party will become if this is its future.

[SharrellAnne @SharrellAnne2]

Gold Star wife here.

When ISIS killed your wife, you supported going after the people responsible. You understood exactly why we were fighting and never called it “Israel’s war.”

My husband, Alan, was killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq. And now, after decades, the fight is finally leading back to the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

You understood it when it was your loss. Now you’re minimizing it when it’s mine.

You don’t get to redefine this war just because it’s not your grief anymore.
