At least 900 people have died and more than 2,500 others have been injured in Israel after the militant group Hamas launched an unprecedented incursion from air, land and sea on Saturday, Israeli authorities said.
Hamas fired thousands of rockets toward Israel and an estimated 1,000 fighters crossed into the country from the neighboring Gaza Strip. Israeli officials said at least 100 civilians and soldiers have been taken hostage.
The Israel Defense Forces has since declared "a state of alert for war" and launched retaliatory airstrikes on Gaza, a 140-square-mile territory where 2 million Palestinians have lived under a blockade imposed by neighboring Israel and Egypt since Hamas seized power in 2007. Palestinian authorities said at least 687 people have died in Gaza since Saturday. Unlike Israel, the Gaza Strip has no air raid sirens or bomb shelters.

â Unlike Israel, the Gaza Strip has no air raid sirens or bomb shelters.â
Yeah. And unlike Hamas, Israel says, get out of there because we are going to bomb.
And whoâs fault is it there are no sirens or shelters.
These MSM try to make it seem itâs unfair for Israel to counterattack.

You have to wonder which is worse, Biden taking a “Lid” and doing NOTHING, or Biden taking some type of military action and really f*cking things up.
Maybe “Hidin Biden” sucking down a pudding pop is a good thing.

“And whoâs fault is it there are no sirens or shelters.”
What would be “shelters” are full of rocket and other arms making materials.
They have no radar so air raid sirens would have limited use anyway. Probably an Israeli warplane or drone over Gaza city 24/7 now anyway.

The coverage of the attacks by Hamas against the Israeli people is extensive, but have you paused to notice a very peculiar dynamic?
As familiar to most news consumers, various media war correspondents are embedded throughout the Israel and Gaza region. Flak jackets and helmets are worn by CNN, BBC, Fox News and all the international agencies who are covering the Israeli War. All of that footage is common and familiar.
Television streams are lit up with the continuing coverage and the audience is brought in live to the fight, despite the dangers and the military combat that is taking place throughout the area. Brave war correspondents are doing what they do, showing the public exactly what is happening on the ground as the fighting continues.
Yet, the extensive footage triggers a reminder of somethingâŚ.
The war in Ukraine has been raging for 20 months, and not once, not even one single time, did we see simultaneous international war correspondents delivering their reporting, showing action on the front lines, donning their protective gear and taking the audience toward the battles in a similar fashion.
The contrast between the War in Israel and the âWarâ in Ukraine could not be starker when viewed through the prism of what a real combat war looks like.
Why is that?
You know the answer to that question.
You might not want to absorb the truth behind this stark reality, but the war in Ukraine is an intelligence war, a creation of the U.S. State Department, CIA, and allied intelligence networks.
All of the information coming from the Ukraine War doesnât come complete with accompanying war correspondents to give context to the statements made by the military officials on the ground in Ukraine, because there isnât any way to connect to something that just doesnât exist.
The âWarâ in Ukraine is World War Reddit. A war carried out and advanced by the intelligence system that created it. As the night life and dance festivals in Kiev continue, it would be challenging for the international war correspondents, the actual media, to deliver broadcast ground reports from Ukraine without using green screens and fabricated livestreams.
Thatâs why we have never seen them.
The Ukraine War is an intelligence operation, and with it comes the need for high control over the propaganda to support it. It would be troublesome for those carrying out the Ukraine operation if people were brought into the âfightâ by media.  Worse still, it would be very challenging to retain support for an intelligence operation, if the American and global population realized it is propaganda.
Weâve seen more footage of the war inside Israel in 48 hours than we have seen inside Ukraine in two years.
Carry onâŚ.

Obama’s observation and warning holds, “Never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to F-ark things up...”
maybe his advisors should tell him to go back to the basement strategy since the campaign has started and oh yeah, Covid is rampant.

With the outbreak of war in the Middle East, and our inability to fund 2 wars at once, let alone one war, Zelensky has been spinning of late seeing his gravy train here potentially coming to an end. A normal President would be dragging him to the negotiation table right now. We are going to need Russian crude on the global market once the Saudis have engineered the oil cartel to take theirs off the Western market like they did during the Yom Kippur war in 1973, especially when Biden has been choking off American production for the last 2 years. Unfortunately, we do not have a normal President. We have one who is afflicted with dementia.

...Gaza, a 140-square-mile territory where 2 million Palestinians have lived under a blockade imposed by neighboring Israel and Egypt since Hamas seized power in 2007. Palestinian authorities said at least 687 people have died in Gaza since Saturday. Unlike Israel, the Gaza Strip has no air raid sirens or bomb shelters.WTF?! Those poor Gazans (aka Hamas members and supporters). Blockaded since 2007? How can anyone still be alive there? What a load of sh*t this is.
