I hate it when my post title and subtitle are both questions. However, when it comes to the situation in Israel, while it’s obvious what’s happening there, it’s a little harder to divine the bigger mean. What’s happening is that Hamas has fired over 1,000 rockets into Israel’s populous Western seaboard, while Arabs are on a rampage in the Tel Aviv suburb of Lod. The Israeli military has responded with hundreds of targeted strikes.
As matters stand, this seems to have gone from terrorism to open war but that depends on who’s defining things. Also, if this is a war, will it last for a while or be resolved quickly with a clear outcome? As to why it started, aside from the Ramadan angle, a good case is that the Arabs have been emboldened by Biden’s hostility to Israel and his pro-Palestinian tilt, along with his manifestly weak leadership. I can only hope that my Zionist friends who voted for Biden have the decency to feel guilty.
The latest report from the Times of Israel describes escalating military action from both Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces (“IDF”):
Hamas launched a massive barrage of rocket fire on southern and central Israel in the early hours of Wednesday morning, killing a man and his daughter and sending hundreds of thousands of people, from Tel Aviv to Beersheba, fleeing to bomb shelters.
The large-scale fusillade of rockets was apparently launched in response to the Israel Defense Forces destroying a building in Gaza and killing two senior Hamas operatives in a targeted strike.

Iran is stepping up the proxy war with Saudia Arabia in Yemen with a large weapons shipment intercepted by the USA. They are working through Hamas to increase attacks in Israel too. They need to do it now, during the Biden window.
What editor would let this headline get past his desk?
Israel has always been at war with east asia, er, hamas. biden’s residency has emboldened the players, but Israel is ready.
I won't be here
Yep
Heard from Jerusalem friends about an hour ago that many tanks and APCs are headed south. They live on the southern part of town, so this might very well be the beginning of a major offensive. Very unusual for them to report troop movements.
New York Times editors? They are swell and don’t worry much about “stuff”, especially the truth. //sarc//
Great photos, thanks.
The headline makes no sense whatsoever.
A few months ago we had a White House ceremony with historic peace treaties being signed.
Today we have a very different White House emboldening terrorists and enabling their use of nuclear weapons.
The media makes it sound like the IDF is killing Palestinian women and children with no mention of the rockets coming from Gaza.
That’s an impressive haul of weapons. Hat tip to the sailors that had to hump all that stuff up to the helo deck, lay it out very carefully and precisely, and no-doubt count and re-count several times taking inventory. Then they’ll get to hump it all back down to secure storage until it can be transferred to another ship or shore. Probably into the hanger would be the only space big enough.
Good news. As for reporting troop movements, there is very little that can be done to hide tanks and APCs moving. There are almost 2 million Arabs living in Israel. They have eyes too.
This latest blow up in the Middle East is false flag to cover actions of the swamp.
Actually, things were pretty chilled over there, especially after President Trump got some historic peace deals signed. Then, the election was stolen.
What is going on in ARIZONA?
They're pretty much proven there has been cheating and vote fraud. Michigan is next.
What is going with the China Flu?
Demand for 'the jab' has reached an all-time low. Folks aren't even showing up for the 2nd shot; people starting to do away with the mask. Fauci under fire.
The mohamits will cross a red line and get wiped out by the IMF AGAIN! (fixed your typo)
The concern here us that usually, the U.S. kept Israel on a leash. I suspect that may be over - for now at least. Israel has rightly lost respect for this regime, and is now dealing with what we experienced last summer. Big difference: the IDF is not the Portland Police.
Final note: Not directing this at you in anyway, but too many on our side think that if a story is not on CNN or the NYT, no one sees it. But the numbers show the opposite is true.
I believe they call it trimming the grass over there,
The entire world knows that there are enough fools in the USA to allow the 2020 election to be stolen, to allow a clown to assume the Presidency, and to allow clowns and fools to control Congress, the Supreme Court, and the US military.
The situation could not be more dangerous.
