Is it my support for genociding Palestinians to blame?

No, the Muslims are homophobic. That must be it.

North Korea attacked in reverse.

First the reports were of them being captured. Then we got the reports of them being in Ukraine. Now the reports confirm they will arrive within the next weeks and months.

If we don’t do something soon, the soldiers are going to learn to walk and start speaking.

Israel Hayom - Israel to classify West Bank as 'combat zone'

Recent events have triggered a major policy shift in Israel's approach to the West Bank, Israel Hayom has learned. Previously designated as a "secondary arena" requiring stable maintenance since the war's onset, recent attacks have convinced top officials that this stance is no longer tenable. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) now operate under a new paradigm, viewing the West Bank as the second most critical front, immediately after Gaza.

While this directive is still in its initial stages, with substantial changes on the ground expected to take time, a series of operations across the West Bank are imminent. "The Jenin operation is just the beginning," security officials emphasize.

Palestinian security mechanisms, driven by self-interest rather than goodwill towards Israel, have been cooperating substantially with Israeli forces, including during Sunday's attack. A heavy-handed operation risks triggering a broader escalation, which Israel seeks to avoid. However, there's a growing consensus that aggressive action against the severe terrorism emanating from the city is necessary. As a result, we may see large-scale, intelligence-driven operations, coupled with encirclements around the city, a strategy already in play.

The prevailing assumption is that a major attack could be imminent. While last week's incident occurred in Gush Etzion, security officials warn that future attacks could target Jerusalem, Beersheba, or Tel Aviv.

First they came for Gaza, then for the West Bank, later they’ll go for Hezbollah, pam pam pam one by one they’ll mow the grass.

The axis of resistance should have functioned in a NATO-like fashion. All-in, one for all and all for one. Instead they’re allowing Israel to cycle over them one by one yet again.

Israeli finance minister threatens to block labor strike

Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called on Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to seek immediate injunctions to prevent tomorrow’s planned general strike.

In a letter to Baharav-Miara, Smotrich argues that the strike is “clearly political and lacks any legal basis,” according to a report by The Times of Israel.

He contends that the strike was declared to improperly influence diplomatic and national security matters, which he claims fall under the jurisdiction of the political echelon and should not be subject to labour strikes.

Smotrich also points out that there was no advance notice of the strike and that it was organised without labour leaders having full access to national security information. He warns that allowing such a strike could set a dangerous precedent.

Going on record as team nothing ever happens with the Prokhorovka direction and the collapse of the Donbas line. I think it’s too big and too defensible to fall quickly or to abandon without a fight. No big arrows until spring at least by which time Ukraine has a new army and some kind of next defensive line has been built.

As VP, she has her own constitutionally protected office.

If anyone, if even one person in the executive, is free from the authority of the president, it’s the Vice President.
