HOW THE HAMAS ATTACK TOOK ISRAEL BY SURPRISE
Daniel Greenfield October 31, 2023
A week before its attack Hamas agreed to another truce with Israel. The agreement negotiated by Qatar, Egypt and the United Nations traded an end to border attacks for more imports, a bigger fishing zone and more work permits that allowed over 20,000 Gaza Muslims to enter Israel.
The agreement reached between Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and Sukkot, the conclusion of the High Holy Days season, offered an end to the explosives and rocks being hurled at Israeli soldiers on the border and the incendiary balloons starting fires on Israeli farms.
...............
Qatar, a state sponsor of Hamas and an ally of the United States, claimed that it had “succeeded in de-escalating the situation in the Gaza Strip by mediating an understanding.”
Hamas ended the border riots and Israelis went into the Sukkot holiday with an apparent calm. The Israeli army and security forces continued to focus on the West Bank, where much of the violence appeared to be coming from, rather than the Gaza Strip which seemed quiet.
But the border attacks and the negotiated ceasefire had all been part of a feint.
Hamas had been working on a large-scale attack for two years. During this time it had calculatedly tamped down some of the violence and appeared amenable to informal truces in exchange for benefits. The results appeared so impressive that Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan bragged to Foreign Affairs magazine about “deescalating Gaza and restoring diplomacy”. These claims would be removed from the online version of the article.
More seriously, Israel’s intelligence apparatus was so focused on Iran that it had stopped eavesdropping on Hamas as a waste of time. Two years without a major confrontation had convinced too many in Jerusalem and Washington D.C. that the situation was under control.
2023 had been the deadliest year in some time, but the violence was coming out of the West Bank. And that’s where the Israeli military and its domestic security forces were focused.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Islamists engage in terrorism, but it was a catastrophic mistake to think of Hamas as merely a terrorist group and to reduce it to its tactics. The Hamas attacks discarded terrorism and turned to guerrilla warfare, drawing on everything from classic Mohammedan warfare to ISIS attacks to Marxist campaigns in Southeast Asia. Hamas stepped out of the box to launch an operation that overwhelmed Israeli forces still thinking of it in terms of counterterrorism rather than all-out war.
To win a war, you must know the enemy. Israel had lost sight of who its enemy really was. But so has every nation in the free world facing a religious war that is over a thousand years old.

When did Trump mention “Central Casting”, what was the context?
Interesting.

If and when Kim Reynolds of Iowa endorses Ron DeSanctimonious, who is absolutely dying in the polls both in Iowa and Nationwide, it will be the end of her political career in that MAGA would never support her again, just as MAGA will never support DeSanctimonious again. Two extremely disloyal people getting together is, however, a very beautiful thing to watch. They can now remain loyal to each other because nobody else wants them!!!

Kim Reynolds told me that she was going to remain NEUTRAL because Iowa was, “Thank you President Trump,” FIRST IN THE NATION. She wanted to campaign with everyone. I told her that I should have “remained neutral” when she asked me to help her get elected, and that I didn’t want or need her to campaign with me. I am now 41+Points up in Iowa!

Wow! Just found out that Corrupt and Racist Attorney General Letitia James of New York State is financially backed by George Soros. No wonder this “TRUMP CASE,” being presided over by a highly partisan and out of control Judge who found me guilty before the trial even started, wouldn’t allow a JURY, and said Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, was worth only $18,000,000, when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount, has become an embarrassment to the New York Judiciary. No new businesses want any part of this charade. WITCH HUNT!

I’ve had a calcium score test and it showed no problems.
But my cholesterol is deemed a tad high.
When I asked my Dr about it, and why was it ok the time before, and not at the next measurement, he said in between those times, they changed the standards to a lower threshold.
Sperm donation group? I’m trying to keep a straight face. Will there be regular meetings? Will they schedule a sea cruise? Battle ribbon? Standard tattoo? Legal aid to avoid child support claims? Will the shoulder patch be a modified “Big Red One”? Maybe they will meet next door to the AA meeting place. Locally, the AA guys meet next to a tavern and adjourn to it to relax from the stress of the meetings and confessions. Will confession to the Popester be required. Will they take pictures of the donors? How about the demanders? Can I be on the panel that tries to rule out the liars?
I’m gonna hurt myself if I keep this up? too bleeping funny
.
Is there a date on that vid?
And does trump force one have the curved up wingtips or does the air force one have them? (Or both)?
But what about the video, when was that?
See my question to LJ about the aircraft wingtips...
All along the way there’s been constant reference to ch 11.3 of the Law of War Manual and how it somehow helps restore Trump to the Presidency, etc. I have a complete copy of the book and have read most of it. The title of ch 11 is “Military Occupation.” The entire chapter defines how an occupier is to treat an occupied country/combatant/enemy. It says nothing about a military taking over its own country’s government. And there is nothing in the rest of the two inch think book that defines how a military could/should replace its home government.
While there may very well be other mechanisms that can be used to clean up a government this book isn’t it, so far as I can see. And that leaves me baffled why it stays in the discussion?
Trump’s 757 has the turned up wing tips which help with low speed and stall stability.
How would you build one? We might be interested.

EMP shield? First you have to decide what it is that you’d like to protect from a magnetic pulse. Big? Little? First, look up “Faraday Cage” to get a hint of the basics. Then think “lightning rod.”
Protecting something outside might first require building a tall pole with heavy wire to the ground. Then building a box around it strong enough to support a wire mesh cage, also grounded.
When you decide what to protect get back to us with the rest of your questions. There are knowledgeable folks hereabouts.
My dad was 132nd FA in WWII. His hearing started to go in his early 40s.

Many ThankQs OWB!
Then the question is, when (if ever) did PDJT use Trump Force One during his first term?
If he never used it then, then it means that this vid, that that still was posted from, was taken after hidenbiden occupied (as in enemy occupation) the Whitehouse.
Numberonepal said the twitx is from this April. If the photo was stand alone I would use Tineye.
I’d have to see photos of both AFI and Trum Force 1. I never noticed curved wingtips. If I have time I’ll try to look for images of both.
