Theologian JD Hall to Tucker Carlson:
The Muslim rulers didn't tax churches during the Ottoman period. They were very kind to Christians.
As a matter of fact, they took care of our holy sites. Islamic authorities rebuilt the Church of the Holy Sepulchre three different times over the centuries.
They had a law protecting Christian pilgrims on their journey. Nobody messed with the pilgrims.
🇮🇱🇱🇧⚡️– Smotrich, Israeli Regime Finance Minister:
"My son asks me to leave part of Lebanon for him so he can destroy it later, and I told him: Don't worry, there will be enough for everyone."
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:
When people say Israel will be destroyed, I'm thinking, they don't understand, do they?
That this is not in the hands of any man or any country or any army on this earth.
This land is in the hands of the Creator of the universe. And my confidence in Israel's capacity not only to be here, but to last and to stay, is not because we have a great military and because Israel has a great military. It's because all of us have a great God who has made a promise, and He will keep that promise.
🚨 DISGUSTING: Oracle CEO Safra Catz openly confesses her employees wear Israeli military uniforms while working inside Israel's Pentagon.
She explicitly admits providing profoundly scary technology to advance the Zionist military agenda.
The corporate complicity is terrifying!
It should be very clear to everyone by now that the Israelis have dramatically different strategic goals than we do & will take our support while only pursuing their interests & expect us to just accept that as the status quo.
What should also be clear is that this status quo works against our strategic goals.
Bibi is helping to illustrate this:
Finally! This is the kind of energy we need from our leaders. I hate to give @JDVance credit, but he’s obviously correct here. It’s infuriating to see them assume they can boss us around when we’re their only remaining ally and they owe us everything.

"The United States government, as a business, seizes the money of countries it doesn't like... It's totally lawless behavior, by the way. It's just gangsterism."
Distinguished Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on the ILL-FATED US-Israeli war on Iran:
"This war never should have happened. It was based on absolutely delusional premises.”
"I think the UAE is probably the most interesting case because it has shifted significantly along the continuum. At the beginning of the war, Oman was on one side, taking a very clear position: neutrality, diplomacy, and the view that negotiation was the only viable way forward. At the other end of the spectrum was the UAE, which at the time was talking about defiance and projecting strength. Its posture was centred on coercion and deterrence.
Now, however, the UAE appears to have moved. It has reportedly pulled $3 billion from Pakistan as punishment for Islamabad taking a more conciliatory approach towards Iran. At the same time, Abu Dhabi now seems to have come around to embracing the MOU and the wider diplomatic process, including support for Qatari efforts.
What is particularly interesting is that there are clearly tensions within Abu Dhabi, and also between Abu Dhabi and the northern Emirates, over how to deal with Iran. MBZ’s position has been one of defiance, strength, and deterrence, rather than entanglement and engagement. Then you have Tahnoun, who has suddenly reappeared on the surface. He had been largely absent from public view for months, but has now returned to lead on this policy issue.
Tahnoun’s strategic mindset has always been built around entanglement and weaponised interdependence through commercial networks. This approach shaped the UAE’s earlier policy: allowing the IRGC to do business in the UAE in the expectation that, in return, the UAE would not be attacked. That equation clearly did not ultimately deliver the desired outcome. Nonetheless, there was no obvious alternative.
Tahnoun’s argument appears to have been that the UAE cannot win this militarily. Israel is not going to win the war on behalf of the UAE, because Israel cannot win the war for itself. The United States does not want an all-out war. The GCC partners around the UAE do not want a war either. As a result, Abu Dhabi has little choice but to come to the negotiating table.
It therefore seems that Tahnoun has won this internal debate, at least for now, over MBZ’s earlier and more assertive approach. The underlying calculation appears to be that a united GCC position may ultimately serve the UAE’s national interest far better than a situation in which everyone pulls in different directions"

The last time we partnered with Al-Qaeda/Salfi Jihadis in Syria to take out an Iranian backed element we didn’t like (Assad), the result was over a decade of carnage, the birth of ISIS, & a migration crisis for Europe.
We should learn from our past & stay out of this mess.
Syria is ran by the former leader of Al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch, and much of Syrian’s armed forces are comprised of former AQ & ISIS members. We can’t change that now, and we need to deal with them based on our interests (mostly CT ops against ISIS & AQ), not a new proxy war that benefits Israel & will increase the level of chaos in the region.
