    There might be a few rogue countries with or in a position to acquire a tactical nuke, even if just a small one or dirty bomb, that might be tempted by a couple billon dineros to be willing to sell what tiny amount of soul they have left if Israel goes biblical using conventional means…and if they think that there can’t be any fingerprints remaining on the scene. The potential for a scenario like this gets more realistic every day in this contentious world.

    This counts because it shows that the people of the US (you and I and all our friends and families) rallied around Nationalism in support of our country and armed services and, yes, our president.

    I proudly had a US flag on my car and at home.

    The reason this is apropos, is that 9/11 united us (GB Jr going from 49% approval to 85% approval) like it will likely reunite Israel from the anti/pro Benny camps.

    Others on this board have stated that this attack will thwart the Pro-Benny camp, causing the Israeli people to turn on him.

    I am hoping and praying that Israel turns on Benny.

    Agree with the last bit. Hopefully for me at least the Tampa shields hold.

    Joking!

    You know it’s bad when Adam Schiff is the only voice of reason in the room…

    Only one of the three leading candidates, Rep. Adam Schiff, expressed unequivocal support for Israel amid its response to the Hamas fighters who surged across its border and kidnapped and killed hundreds of civilians.

    “Right now, Israel is being brutally attacked. It is a victim of terrorist attacks,” Schiff said. “And the only sentiment I want to express right now, when Israel is going through its own 9/11, is unequivocal support for the security and the rights of Israel.”

    Schiff’s response contrasted with Rep. Katie Porter, who condemned the loss of lives on both sides, expressed concern about Islamophobia and put some blame for the attack on the U.S. government, and Rep. Barbara Lee, who called for a ceasefire and prayers for both Israelis and Palestinians killed in the weekend attack.

    Dislike all you want, @Sohogator as that is your right. I am just curious about exactly what it is that you disagree with?

    I would have thought by now you’d understand that Israel’s reach is largely manipulated by policy out of Washington. This instance will be no different. It’s just a matter of time before the Biden administration throws shade at Jerusalem for their responsive attacks against Hamas and Hezbollah. Give it a few weeks and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. Iran is going to be protected. For some reason, this administration believes Iran can keep their word. Bibi sees all of this and knows he can only operate within the constraints with which Washington allows.

    And I’m proud to be but very modest a supporter to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. If I could give more I would. Jewish people sure have suffered a lot in history and sadly, yet it still continues in these times.

    So, you are disliking my statement based on something that may or may not happen?

    Biden will likely support the hell out of Israel unless it attempts to use nukes against Iran.

    Are you saying that you support Israel to use nukes against Iran?
    If so, that is very asymmetrical and will likely lead us into Armageddon.

    I'm sorry that you cannot see this now. Perhaps in the morning, when you've had time to think clearly, you will see the error in your thinking.

    I was hoping you'd have the intellect to debate with me, and to express how exactly you disagree with me instead of going off into the great night...

    Sir, you are a true Mensch. Too bad your arguments are so. damn. weak.

    Please debate with me. I'm not saying my ideas are 100% right, I'd just like you to tell me why my ideas are 100% wrong.

    Your ideas are rather pathetic IMHO so in the interest of not having my reasonable responses deleted I’m having to put you on ignore…

    Which ideas, exactly? Please tell me which ones and defend your thesis.

    Oh, I get it now. The the old "I'll put you on ignore because I do not have the mental capacity to debate you" strategy.

    Brilliant!

    “We don’t have anything that shows us that Iran was directly involved in this attack, in planning it or carrying out, but that’s something we’re looking at very carefully,” he said. “And we’ve got to see where the facts lead.”

    Blinken is not a fool. He’s a con man.

    Same. In any event I think its days are numbered.
