Interesting take:

Israel and ‘The Godfather’

https://theothermccain.com/2023/10/08/israel-and-the-godfather/

Excerpt:

.....This attack came on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. For young people in Israel, that war is something they study in history class, but now its significance — Israel’s struggle to survive when hit by a sudden attack from its enemies — must be perfectly apparent to them.

.....A younger generation of Israelis must finally abandon the illusion of “peace” with the Palestinians.

No more festivals. No more dance parties. Nothing but all-out war now — the young people of Israel ultimately have no choice. They must kill or be killed.

.....Do you see how The Godfather is relevant? It was not Michael’s choice. That choice was made for him by his father’s enemies, who first attempted to assassinate Don Corleone, and then succeeded in assassinating Michael’s older brother Sonny. But Michael was the smart one, and with cool cunning he waited for the right moment to retaliate, to “settle all family business,” including with his brother-in-law Carlo Rizzi, who had betrayed Sonny to Barzini.

Israel must not only destroy Hamas, but they must also retaliate against Iran, which sponsors Hamas. Nothing personal. “It’s strictly business.”

The excerpted site is a PJ Media neocon RINOish writer but this op-ed saying the young of Israel needed to ‘wake-up’ to reality fits in with those saying IDF et al knew or allowed it to transpire and the purpose was waking up the Israeli youth.

so, do you suppose a similar “wake up call” is in the cards for the USA?

On This Date in History: Murderous psychopath Che Guevara’s reign of terror comes to an end in Bolivia

https://cubanexilequarter.blogspot.com/2023/10/note-to-his-admirers-comandante-ernesto.html

Excerpt:

On October 9, 1967, Che Guevara’s reign of terror finally came to an end in Bolivia. When it came down to it, the left’s “heroic communist revolutionary” went down as a whimpering coward begging for his life. There was no hail of bullets in a gallant fight against imperialist enemies, but a yellow-bellied coward who surrendered without firing a single shot from his fully-loaded rifle and pleaded with his captors to spare his life.

So as the left mourns the death of a murderous psychopath known as the “Butcher of La Cabaña,” we mourn and honor the hundreds of innocent victims the Marxist coward killed during his bloody reign of terror.
