We must demand immediate action, and take serious responsibility over our own safety.
In a recent article I pointed out that the conflict in Israel is very important, but it’s a distraction from another major goal: an attack against the United States that would make 9/11 pale in comparison. Remember, Israel is the “Little Satan” but the U.S. is the “Great Satan.”
Jean DuBois makes a similar point.
Though the world now rightly focuses on Israel, the world’s sole Jewish state is largely irrelevant as regards the real threat to world peace: militant Islam. If you really want to address root causes, then look no further. Israel and the Jews are but a convenient distraction, a red herring, just the canary in the coal mine.
Sadly, but tellingly, and putting Israel aside, the vast majority of armed conflicts on our globe involve militant Islam on at least one side of the conflict.
Israel’s campaign against Hamas is going better than expected (and here), which may force the Islamists to advance their timeline. The terrorists’ commanders flee the battlefield while their top leaders live like kings in Qatar. Previously I noted this:
One common thread among all terrorists is that they are cowards. They are quite brave when beating and killing defenseless women and children, but they run screaming when confronted by a real military. I’ll bet those busloads of women and children trying to exit Gaza are filled with former terrorists sporting ladies’ dresses and full makeup.
Reports that claim Hamas uses their own civilians as human shields and places military installations in schools, mosques, and hospitals have been confirmed consistently. As cowards, these terrorists are quite willing to kill great numbers of innocent civilians through any means possible, in Israel—or the United States.

We’ll get hit before Christmas.
Black Friday.
LOADS of soft targets.
You left out one player that benefitted: the government-military-social media complex. After 9-11, the Feds created new agencies, expanded their power to surveil citizens, and directed government and military contractors and social media companies to violate the Constitution. January 6 led to a further escalation of Federal and corporate actions against the rights of US citizens.
It was said that 9-11 resulted from a failure of imagination. Let’s not lose sight of the possibilities now. New attacks would cause great fear - tyrants swould love citizens to give up liberty for the promise of security.
Uh, ‘would,’ not “swould.’
Yes they are, especially in states and cities where there are no concealed or open carry permits allowed by the citizens. On a good note, this is why we can create militias to defend ourselves from enemies foreign and domestic.
I’m more worried about being rounded up and thrown in prison as a J sixer.
Mr. GG2 and I are fine with dealing with some muzz illegal drawing down on us in the Wal-Mart parking lot. We’ve been in a bad mood for 3 years. 😆
I never said these contributing factors were the ONLY ones.
From everything I’ve seen, the Egypt warning was vague and had no specific details. And anyone who deals with security matters like this will tell you that vague, non-specific threats are so routine that it’s usually pointless to react to them in any visible manner.
Personally, I would say laziness and complacency have been the normal course of life in Israel since I saw how gullible and foolish that country’s population was in complying with Nazi COVID restrictions and vaccine mandates.
as far as i’m concerned it’s a miracle we haven’t had a real hit since 9/11...
Yep, an established commie tactic.
