I know I’m one of the few that still cares, but watching all these masses of people in Beruit, the Capitol, etc. my first thought is that these will be super spreader events. I’m still masking up until we’re out of flu season.

There was a lot of talk about this during BLM protests but it never seemed to pan out that way, might be different now since there's a lot less general masking but I think they'll be okay.

The latest from Seymour Hersh:

This sort of sucks. I'm sure Hersh accurately reported what he was being told by a source with info in the US, but that source doesn't seem to know poo poo. They don't even know what Netanyahu is thinking, while claiming to know the plans of Hezbollah and Iran.

quote:

The White House and Central Intelligence Agency are again at odds

There are intelligence analysts in Washington who estimate that Netanyahu, who is emerging as the strongman in Israel’s new emergency unity government, has no intention of letting any member of Hamas survive.

Netanyahu’s attitude, as assessed by the intelligence analysts, I was told, amounts to a determination “to wipe out Hamas.”

In the American intelligence view, the Hamas raid failed in every way.

The American assessment is that the Hamas leadership began planning the attack two years ago

The most vital supporter of the Hamas raid, I was told, was the Iranian government, whose leadership in Tehran was directly involved, in terms of money and materials for the October 7 attacks. “The Iranians,” the official said caustically, “want to attack Israel with every Palestinian they can find.” But “Iran did not realize how much murdering of civilians there would be. Hamas was crazed by blood.”

Despite Western fears, I was told, there has been no sign that the Hamas uprising served as an inspiration to Israel’s enemies.

In recent days, the Biden administration has deployed two American carrier groups, with squadrons of F-15, F-16, and A-10 combat jets, more than 10,000 Navy personnel and 2,000 Marines into the region in a show of support for Israel. “All the American services are jumping on it,” the official told me, “but Israel is saying, ‘Go Back. We don’t want your stuff.’” He went on: “There are no better pilots today than those in the Israeli Air Forces. Bibi’s got it under control and no Israeli is going to worry about the fate of the citizens of Gaza.”

So, asked the official, “Why is Biden banging on the door? Is the president going to tell Bibi: ‘You can’t do this’? Leave the Gaza refugees standing out on the border with Egypt.”

The official did not answer his rhetorical question. But he did ask if one reason for the president’s sudden trip “just might be to keep the Ukraine war off the front pages?”

Is the IOF really turning down US support right now because Israeli pilots are just that good?

We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.

FORMER ISRAEL PRIME MINISTER AND GENERAL Ehud Barak said Biden is a hero in Israel's eyes.

He said even Israeli leaders do not speak with such emotion and moral directness as Biden did.

So my fellow Americans I still say, IT IS ESSENTIAL that while we support Israel, we do not encourage Israel to act like Hamas and engage in genocide.

Biden's presence has perfectly caused Israel to pause (and think twice) about committing additional carnage. He also got Israel to allow entry of humanitarian aid.

Biden has continually denounced Hamas and continually shown support for Palestine and made clear the distinction between the two. He has also requested that 100 million in aid be sent to Gaza and the West Bank.

If anyone thinks that after Israel acts like Hamas and commits genocide, there will be peace - they are seriously mistaken.

What's difficult is the fact that some people (on earth) aren't that bright or smart enough to realize that a de-escalation is required. Some of them want more bloodshed.

It's odd to say, "I mourn the loss of all these Israeli children" and then say, "Hey, let's go kill some children."

We can do this folks. Just plan for peace. Make it happen.

A poll/survey/interview in Palestine in July showed that a MAJORITY of Palestinians are NOT in line with Hamas.

PLEASE DON'T BE that person so filled with hate that you ultimately don't help any cause.

Anger is 100% valid. Hate - not so much.

Yes, there are Palestinians who want nothing less than the total destruction of Israel and all Jews. But Newsflash - there are also Jews who want nothing less than the total destruction of Palestine and its people. Please don't be one of these people.

People (who are not these types of people) have valid arguments on both sides of the conversation. Depending on when one starts the history clock, both Israel and Palestine have valid claims to the land (figure out a way to listen to those claims).

It is the HATE that prevents progress. It's the hate that promotes false information. It's the hate that complicates things.

Is there a single person who was on the ground at the time of the attack who thinks it was an errant Palestinian rocket

Also, looking at the damage of the wreck, though it's no doubt less than what might've been initially anticipated, it's still way too much to be an errant rocket.

This may be what Israel was looking for by attacking the hospital. Create something so horrifying that it draws Lebanon, etc. into the conflict. At that point Biden throws in as well, and with direct US military support (as in boots on the ground), Israel has the cover it needs to invade Gaza.

Pairs with the article about the Israeli Army being useless, and what people have suspected since they parked outside Gaza and have trusted every part of the war so far - including escalation and deterrence - to the IAF.
