Report: Israel Penetrates into Southern
Gaza, Surprising Hamas

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 12/4/2023 12:54:17 AM

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spent the first 48 hours of renewed fighting by attacking targets throughout Gaza, and fighting deep into southern portions of the Gaza Strip — apparently surprising Hamas, which expected Israel to stay in the north alone. The U.S. had openly opposed an Israeli invasion of the southern Gaza Strip, saying that Israel had to account for civilians first. Whether Israel defied the U.S, or the U.S. participated in the ruse, Hamas does not appear to have expected the southern push. Israel also released a map to help civilians avoid fighting, with different areas of the Gaza Strip numbered. The U.S. suggested that the map satisfied its concerns,

Let's hope that "surprising" means killing lots of them.

Why would Israel give a flying flip what the US wants? As to strategy, we've lost every war since 1945. Doing what we say is not a path to victory or peace.

EXCELLENT! This is a dope slap to Biden and Blinken who are trying to stop Israel's well justified war against Hamas. The US dopey admin is trying to "protect" the "Palestinian" population but Hamas doesn't care about them. Israel cares more about the "Palestinians" than Hamas. Most of the rest of the Arab world are privately happy to have Israel eradicate Hamas. Let's hope that Israel's efforts are a smashing success and quickly achieved. Frankly, the best hope for the "Palestinians" is with Israel, who are most concerned and most capable of exercising reasonable caution.

Senator Tommy Tuberville (R., Ala.) said Tuesday he will release his hold on military promotions, effectively ending his months-long effort to pressure the Pentagon into changing its abortion policy. In February, Tuberville initially blocked the Senate votes from moving forward over the Pentagon’s new abortion-leave policy that gave troops access to abortion services while on duty. For the past nearly ten months, the Alabama Republican delayed the confirmations of more than 400 military nominees despite bipartisan pressure. In a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill, Tuberville reportedly agreed with Senators Dan Sullivan (R., Alaska) and Joni Ernst’s (R., Iowa) plan to release his holds on the military promotions for three-star officers and below,

The Department of Justice is preventing two would-be whistleblowers from testifying in the Biden impeachment investigation, House Republicans claim in a report on the status of their investigation released Tuesday.

Hundreds gathered at the United Nations on Monday for a special session spearheaded by Israel’s Permanent Mission to the UN, to raise awareness of the sexual crimes committed against women during Hamas’s October 7 attacks on southern communities, amid growing anger over the international community’s perceived silence on the issue. “On October 7, Israel suffered its most brutal massacre since the Holocaust; the atrocities were more barbaric than ISIS, some say more than the Nazis,” said Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan at the outset of the event. “Families were burned alive, children executed in front of their parents and parents executed in front of their children.

A corporation owned and controlled by Hunter Biden made several direct monthly payments to President Biden beginning in 2018, according to bank records released by the House Oversight Committee on Monday. The subpoenaed bank records obtained by National Review reveal Owasco PC established a monthly payment of $1,380 to President Biden beginning in September 2018. The committee says the payments establish a direct benefit Biden received from his family’s foreign business dealings, despite Biden’s claims that he has never benefitted from or been involved in his son’s ventures. “This wasn’t a payment from Hunter Biden’s personal account but an account for his corporation that received payments from China

Pro-Palestinian protesters marching through Philadelphia Sunday congregated outside Goldie, a falafel restaurant owned by American–Israeli chef Michael Solomonov, vandalizing its front door and windows and chanting “Goldie, Goldie, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide.” Solomonov, born in Israel and raised in Pittsburgh, focused on Italian cuisine at the start of his career. That changed in 2003, when his brother, David, who had volunteered for the Israel Defense Forces, was killed by snipers on the Lebanese border. Solomonov now owns a variety of Israeli- and Jewish-style restaurants, mainly in Philadelphia.

"Well, I'll tell you a couple of things very interesting. For one, the problem is extraordinarily bad.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) is taking worldwide criticism after appearing to deflect criticism of rape and sexual violence by Palestinian Hamas terrorists against Israeli women in its October 7 terror attack, saying Israeli misdeeds had to be considered. As Breitbart News has reported, there is ample evidence of sexual violence against Israeli women during the attack, though the Israeli military was not able to conduct forensic tests, and the apparent victims known thus far were killed and cannot testify. CNN host Dana Bash, interviewing Jayapal on State of the Union on Sunday, asked Jayapal — who leads the Progressive Caucus — about whether she condemned sexual violence committed on October 7.

During a conference appearance, the billionaire used the far more explicit form of telling someone to go jump in a lake to respond to the move. Musk also called out Disney CEO Bob Iger by name, accusing him of trying to "blackmail" X with money to eliminate free speech on the social media platform. What was the reason behind Disney's move? According to reports, the company was reacting to a manufactured Media Matters "study" in which they were able to produce some ads next to antisemitic content. As RedState noted,

I have stayed away from this subject for eight years; however, everyone in/around U.S. politics knows the Washington Post, owned by Big Tech Amazon, is effectively the PR firm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). No one inside the DC beltway does not understand this basic truth. Therefore, when the husband of State Dept official Victoria Nuland, a man named Robert Kagan, writes an op-ed in the CIA newsletter, effectively calling for President Trump to receive the Julius Caesar treatment, the non-subtle message is for the CIA to repeat their Kennedy performance and kill President Trump.

In return for their honorable service, they would be granted U.S. citizenship. Durbin’s rationale hinges on the military’s current recruitment struggles.
