^ You do realize that the vast majority of US funding to Israel is provided contingent on Israel spending that money in the US, right?

It pretty much props up large portions of the US defense industry.

"When Israel, along with the United States, together enforce Middle East security operations by forcibly neutralizing the threats surrounding Israel, they are also establishing a pattern of behavior necessary to then carry out the exact same security operations for America.

Their national security risks are identical in the way they are organized by their enemies: as ideological threats to their respective fundamental beliefs and values, and, as physical risks to their borders and interests.

Israel and the United States have exactly the same problem: they are threatened by radicalism. And there is only one way to combat organized radicalism: destroy it with ruthless resolve. I’m not arguing for indiscriminate violence, but rather, for the targeted eradication of specific, organized opposition to national sovereignty, and even national survival.

Indeed, Israel and the United States together have, allied against them both, forces that specifically seek to destroy them: to actually dismantle and remove them as sovereign nations. In Israel’s case this takes the form of radical terror based in ethno-religious fundamentalism. In America’s case, it takes the form of a radical terror, but it has become entrenched in our internal institutions, and so therefore has the deceptive appearance of a mere political opposition.

Simple political party opposition is not what seeks to destroy America: she is threatened by fundamental anti-Americanism no different than Israel is threatened by fundamental terrorism: it is of a particularly deep-seated hatred, combined with a highly organized, long-term operational commitment to structurally upend U.S. society."

Great and Little Satan...against the world.

See it for what it is though.

It was nice to finally see the red cross take some interest in the Israeli hostages in Gaza today...

I know some people still buy into the whole "Israel targets women and children" and "It's a genocide" notion, but Hamas themselves just admitted that is not true:

A selection:

"“The demographics are the most important thing in all this. We’ve heard the claims that about 70 per cent of the deaths are women and children, and these lists, especially the most recent, show that’s complete nonsense,” he said.

About 72 per cent of fatalities aged 13-55 are men, which is the rough age range of Hamas combatants, Mr Fox said. “We know that Hamas uses child soldiers, and these statistics show clearly that Israel is targeting fighting-aged men.”

A deeper dive...




Since the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023, Hamas and its sympathizers at the United Nations and college campuses have lied to the world.

They have denied the truth that Hamas raped its prisoners, invented atrocities by Israeli forces, and denied Israel has the right to exist.

They also made up how many Gazans died.

We know this because Hamas admits it.

The murderous terror organization’s Ministry of Health has quietly reduced the number of civilian deaths that it has claimed were inflicted by Israeli forces.

In its March 2025 fatality list, 3,400 “victims” simply vanish. Previously listed as people who perished last August and October, it turns out Hamas invented them.

That includes 1,080 children Hamas claimed were killed by Israel that never were.

Of course, the media and protesters parroted these numbers without question. Will they show any remorse now? Will they start treating official proclamations from the Hamas-controlled agencies as what they are — propaganda and prevarications?

Please. The useful idiots at Columbia University will keep falsely shouting “genocide” as they ignore the hostages held and tortured by Hamas.

The outrage goes beyond the number Hamas said were killed, Andrew Fox, author of a report for the Henry Jackson Society on Gazan casualties, tells the Telegraph.

“The demographics are the most important thing in all this. We’ve heard the claims that about 70% of the deaths are women and children, and these lists, especially the most recent, show that’s complete nonsense,” he said.

The truth? About 72% of those killed are men, ages 13 to 55. In other words, likely members of Hamas.

The Henry Jackson Society report goes into detail about how the Ministry of Health — a group controlled by Hamas — fudged the numbers.

“Serious errors have been discovered on the Ministry’s lists of fatalities,” the report states. “These errors include a 22-year-old registered as a 4-year-old, a 31-year-old registered as a 1-year-old and several men with male first names registered as female — artificially increasing the numbers of women and children reported killed.

“The lists also include people who died before the war and people who died from attacks by Hamas rather than the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

“They likely include around 5,000 natural deaths per year, including cancer patients who were listed by the Ministry for hospital treatment after they had already appeared on fatality lists.”

Israel has gone out of its way to minimize civilian deaths, giving warnings for areas to be evacuated ahead of military actions.

Again and again, the Hamas narrative has been debunked. Remember the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion in the early days of Israel’s counterattack? Hamas claimed 500 were killed by an Israeli bomb, and the world media rushed in with outrage. Investigations later found the death toll was much lower, and they were killed by a terrorist missile that malfunctioned.

So why is Hamas suddenly admitting that it overstated the death toll in Gaza?

One theory is that the terror group, whose members murdered, raped and kidnapped more than 1,200 Jews on Oct. 7, 2023, is scrambling to maintain credibility at a time when Palestinians are rising up in protest against Hamas’ chokehold on the territory.

Thousands turned out last week in places such as Gaza City to demonstrate, issuing chants such as, “Out, out out! Hamas get out!”

It seems you can add Palestinians themselves to the many people sick and tired of Hamas.

The only people who aren’t? The protesters who hide their identities behind keffiyeh scarves, chain themselves to fences and march through the streets harassing Jews. They are immune to the truth.
