ISRAEL AT WAR

The Free Press ^ | October 7, 2023 | Bari Weiss

You are about to withstand a barrage of lies about the war that broke out today in Israel.

Some of those lies will be explicit. Some of them will be lies of omission. Others will be lies of obfuscation. Or lies of minimization. Lies told by people who are simply too afraid to look at such an ugly, barbarous reality. And lies told by people whose true beliefs are too ugly to quite say aloud. Turn on cable news and you can hear some of them right now.

So let’s get some facts straight.

Israel was attacked last night. It was attacked by Hamas terrorists who streamed over the border from Gaza. They came on foot and on motorbikes. They came by truck and by car and by paraglider. They came to Israel to murder and maim and mutilate anyone they could find. And that is what they did.

It is impossible to know the numbers of the dead or the missing or the injured.

The official numbers as of this writing: 300 Israelis dead; 1,590 wounded. And dozens—maybe many more—taken hostage into Gaza. They include women, elders, and children.

But none of those words or numbers capture the evil of what unfolded today.

Young festival-goers running for their lives. Teenage girls dragged by their hair by terrorists. An old woman forced to pose with a Hamas rifle. A mother—a hostage—cradling two redheaded babies in her arms.

The left (including the regime) is gaslighting you to cover their full-throated support for the murderous terrorists who murdered massive numbers of Israelis. Were it not for them and tehir policies -- implemented knowingly, IMO -- Ham-ass wouldn't hve had the capccity to carry out this barbaric attack.

[Chgogal]

Agreed.

When has the Obama/Biden/Hillary/Iran Administration acted in America’s interest?

People may be appalled that I included Iran in the Administration description, but Biden has acted in Iran’s interest from day one. He has done nothing to limit Iran’s reach including our open borders. So I assume Biden is either working with Iran or for Iran when taking the Big Guy’s business dealings over the past years into consideration.

This story is so prevalent it makes me wonder what other, bigger headline they want to push off the front page.

Same Schiff, different year

[joshua c]

is the iran financed hamas attack on Israel

to keep Israel occupied

while iran finishes their bomb?

[Conservative4Life]

Xiden sent a boat load of cash to Iran for appeasement, I’m convinced that cash was used to bolster hama terrorists. Just wait until the attacks begin here. Then and Only then will people wake up a little to realize open borders is a bad idea as well as funding them. I just hope they his the politicians first.

[desertsolitaire]

I would speculate Gere that they have the bomb now. One or two. And are desperately trying to make many more quickly.

[Bullish]

Bulldoze Gaza.

[NWFree]

All the evil comes out of the woodwork to support terrorism

[Bullish]

...but Biden has acted in Iran’s interest from day one.

So did Obama every day of his regime.

Here we are 78 years after the end of the Holocaust and once agains thuggish killers dressed in black are pulling Jewish elderly, women, and children out of their homes and executing them, and then throwing their bodies into the street. But in 1945 we were fighting the SS murderers, now we are sending millions in subsidies to their modern Hamas killer squad counterparts. We the American people should demand not one more American cent to these Gestapo and SS killers.

“I have known several Palestinians.”

There’s no such thing.

“This story is so prevalent it makes me wonder what other, bigger headline they want to push off the front page.”

I’m surprised it does not get more coverage. We now have two major proxy war’s going. What is next?

And in some ways, Iran is a more troubling opponent than Russia. Russia is run by pragmatic sociopaths. Iran is run by ideologues who at least halfway believe their crap about the Madhi.

[TBP]

Tcehnically, the cash in in a bank in Qatar with specific limitations on how it’s to be used.

But even if you accept those limits as valid and as something the Mad Mullahs will accept (they won’t), it still frees up $6 billion other Iranian dollars to fund the terrorist attacks.

Money is fungible.
