[The attacks] came by land and air with Hamas gunmen flying into Israel using paragliders while other units cut wires in border fences and bulldozed walls to enter the country.

Harrowing videos captured by Hamas insurgents using helmet-mounted GoPro cameras and smartphones showed how unsuspecting Israeli soldiers were gunned down in their barracks while others were beaten, tied up and frogmarched away or bundled into cars and pickup trucks.

My question is: how could they cut through fences and run all over a base without sentries seeing them and sounding an alarm? And do we send soldiers into war with helmet mounted cameras?

You’ve captured the essence of my skepticism about the attack. The surveillance on their borders is state of the art and the many watchers aren’t frivolous. They can see a spider trying to cross into their territory … okay, a cat … and are customarily very responsive to breaches of any kind. The only conclusion that remains is that someone wanted the incursion, though the reason remains unclear. Was it to have the excuse to clear out Gaza and return it to Israeli residents and property? Was it part of the worldwide Q plan to damage the Jewish-democrat alliance? Since support for the Ukraine conflict is waning, was it to create a new conflict that would serve as an excuse to strip citizens around the world of their tax dollars to support the new conflict? Whatever the reason, it seems to have been actively permitted to happen.

Vietnamese government agents tried to plant spyware on the phones of members of Congress, American policy experts and U.S. journalists this year in a brazen campaign that underscores the rapid proliferation of state-of-the-art hacking tools, according to forensic examination of links posted to Twitter and documents uncovered by a consortium of news outlets that includes The Washington Post.

Targeted were two of the most influential foreign policy voices on Capitol Hill: Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tex.) and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a member of the Foreign Relations Committee and chair of its subcommittee on the Middle East. Also targeted were Asia experts at Washington think tanks and journalists from CNN, including Jim Sciutto, the outlet’s chief national security analyst, and two Asia-based reporters.

Does the US really have any friends? Why are we so busy “helping” all over the world?

Am I an awful person for even thinking “Wag the Dog”?

Those helmet mounted cameras came from Kabul. Just another Bidenbennefit to the Hamassholes. Carl Higbee, on Newsmax, was just talking about how much of the Gaza gear he was recognizing from his time in Afgannyland.
