Was Iran behind the surprise Hamas attack on Israel?

WSJ: Iran Planned and Ordered Hamas Attack on Israel, Death Toll Passes 800, As More Details Of Brutality Emerge (Updates) 

As Israeli military strikes terrorist targets in Gaza for the second day, more details about Saturday’s shock terror attack are being uncovered. New revelations show Iran’s direct involvement in the multi-pronged terror offensive.

The Iranian fingerprints were visible from the beginning of the terrorist operation, with top regime officials and lawmakers cheering the gruesome act of terrorism that left at least 700 Israelis dead and 2000 wounded. Around 130 Israelis hostages — including women, children and elderly, are thought to be in Hamas’ captivity.

Hamas Savagery Worse Than ISIS – Reports of Mass Rapes, Abusing and Beheading Bodies of Israeli Soldiers   “Several of these rape victims appear to have been later executed. Others were taken to Gaza. In photographs released online, you can see several paraded through the city’s streets, blood gushing from between their legs.”

Are American Weapons From Afghanistan and Ukraine Being Used Against Israel? 

Even worse, wherever the arms have come from, the Biden regime is largely responsible for bankrolling this bloody jihad against Israel. Not only did Old Joe and his henchmen just send six billion dollars to the Islamic Republic of Iran, amid empty and ridiculous promises that it would only be used for “humanitarian” purposes, but the day before the war began, the Biden regime quietly approved an additional seventy-five million dollars for the Palestinians.

Hamas Senior Official: “Planet Earth Will Come Under [a System] Where There is… No Zionism, No Treacherous Christianity”

Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Zahar said on a December 12, 2022 show on Al-Masirah TV (Houthis-Yemen),”when we speak about the Army of Jerusalem and the Battle of the Promise of the Hereafter, we are not talking about liberating our land alone – but we believe in what our Prophet Muhammad said: “‘Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake, and I have seen its eastern and western ends. The dominion of my nation would reach those ends that have been drawn near me.'”

“The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no treachery, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity.”

What's behind Barack Obama's silence on Israel? 

With this motivation in play, Obama supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. He courted Turkey’s theocrat Recep Tayyip Erdogan as “a strong Turkey that would step in and take on the role of a strong power in the Middle East that would allow the U.S. to step back,” a Turkey expert told Politico in 2016. He left Iraq in the hands of Iranian puppet masters. And most infamously of all, he ceded the Syrian battlefield to, of all people, Vladimir Putin.

What’s unfolding in Israel today is part of the plan, the broken eggs of the policy omelette. By the logic of Obama’s foreign policy, a hard strike to Israel could catalyse the balance-of-power reset that the former president had envisioned and for which he laid the policy infrastructure. For Obama, condemnation of Hamas actions would make little sense: in his eyes, the group’s attack is no more than a playing-out of the power logic precisely because Hamas is an extension of Iran.

Today we are seeing the outcome not of mere policy failure, but catastrophe.

VDH: Reflections on Israel’s New Existential War 

Will Biden finally get the message from the attacks on the Ukraine and Israeli borders, that borders matter? We too are being invaded, with the encouragement of the Mexican government and to the advantage of the cartels. Biden should carefully digest the ranting of President Obrador who seems to feel he has veto power over the White House, as he demands our own borders remain open to his citizens for whom he cannot provide, while he seeks to influence U.S. elections.

In a sane world, the Biden administration would immediately cancel all talks with Iran, renew sanctions, and stop any cash transferences. (Why were the Obama and Biden administrations so fond of sending so much money to theocratic Iran)? It would stop all aid to the West Bank and Gaza. It would put a travel ban on anyone from Iran or the West Bank and Gaza and pull visas of any currently from Palestine in the U.S. It would immediately ramp up defense spending, especially on missile defense, dismantle the woke commissariat in the Pentagon, and prepare for the unthinkable and existential abroad.

And there is likely zero chance that the handlers of Joe Biden will do any of that.

Government Is The Hidden Hand Directing The Culture Wars  But state power removes all choice and variety. As the state increases its control over domains like public school curricula and corporate subsidies, fewer ideas and directions are given a chance to succeed. Culture wars fester within such narrowing policy confines because values and beliefs are either represented or excluded.

Conflicts instigated through state power always spill into other areas of society. When the political representation or exclusion of one’s beliefs is at stake, a culture war can become an environment in which any means of defense seems fair game. Social institutions, corporations, and popular media can all be weaponized and wielded against one’s enemies. The result is as familiar as it is exhausting: unending conflict and controversy, with every institution, organization, and event in society politicized and nowhere to hide from the unceasing cross fire.

Powerful earthquakes struck northwestern Afghanistan on October 8, killing more than 2,400 people   The quakes hit 35 km (20 miles) northwest of the city of Herat, one with a magnitude of 6.3, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said.

They were among the world's deadliest quakes this year, after tremors in Turkey and Syria killed an estimated 50,000 people in February.

In Sweden, Elderly Denied Milk While Billions are Spent on Muslim Migrants...When you know Sharia is the law of the land.   What’s happening to the elderly poor in Eslöv, Sweden, deprived even of milk, is in one form or another happening all over Europe, where economic migrants, overwhelmingly Muslim, are soaking the welfare states for every possible benefit, and the money that is spent on them is taken from the amounts that would otherwise be available to the poor and elderly. And as the numbers of those economic migrants inexorably rises, so will the economic burden of supporting them, and the first to suffer will be the indigenous poor and elderly. There is no end to this, unless the anti-Muslim migrant parties come to power and again run their welfare states for the benefit of those who most need that help, beginning with  the poor and elderly indigenes.
