    In our defense, we did give the Maui victims $700 each. You can’t expect perfection, but we tried.

    This was a top secret and highly coordinated attack by Hamas. It seems unlikely they would attempt this attack without some sort of contingency plan to stave off the much stronger is Israeli military. So I am assuming they already had outside support lined up before this attack took place. This should get interesting.

    Will the "No Money for Ukraine" group support more money for Israel?

    While a disaster for Israel, the attack is a real gift to Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Yep. In case anyone was curious what Iran would do with the $6B of tribute we just paid them. Leave it to America to fund both sides of a war.

    I believe they started fighting around 1,000 BC when the Jews took control of Jerusalem under King David. Strange that so much conflict over the only middle eastern country without oil.

    Clearly this was planned for a while. This isn’t drunk guys on a Friday light lobbing molotovs over the wire. This is a well
    Coordinated multi pronged attacked with specific objectives. Attacks were launched via air and land with amphibious assaults as well. I’m seeing videos in West Bank of scores of militants entirely armed with M4s. It’s not unusual for a few to carry M4s But not all of them. There is zero doubt this was Directed by Iran, But the question is why does Iran want this conflict at this large scale right now ?

    God is the inspiration and justification for both sides, albeit God's of slightly different flavors and of course prophets.

    Well, I would, since it was a terrible decision. But how effective that is all depends on the Administration. If they come out and make excuses, equivocations, and denials that there is any connection between giving Iran $6B and an organization that Iran funds suddenly being able to launch an unprecedented attack, then probably, yeah, the attacks would be well deserved.

    But if they come out and say, “You know we really tried to deal with Iran in a civil manner. We ignored the IRGC’s breaches of our agreement and made out like Trump had no cause to cancel it. We took a giant dump on Saudi Arabia for Iran’s sake, not thinking that we might need the Kingdom for economic warfare against Russia. Even still, we never got another deal, and Iran is actively supporting Russia in its conquest of Ukraine. And most recently we gave them money in exchange for hostages they had no right to take in the first place, just to see them increase their support of international terrorism. Well, like the rest of America, we are now tired of being played false and made fools of by Iran. Step 1 is we are throwing out on his ass the goober who has been responsible for every boneheaded astrategic piece of advice that the President was misled on, with such consistently bad results. Jake Sullivan, thanks for your service. I hope you’re a better lawyer than you were a National Security Advisor …” then maybe the Administration can get ahead of much of the justified criticism it is likely to take in the days ahead.
