On 8 August 2024, I spoke with Judge Napolitano on his podcast “Judging Freedom.” We talked about the Ukraine war to start, but mainly focused on the likely retaliations by Iran and Hezbollah in response to Israel’s twin assassinations on 30 July in Beirut and 31 July in Tehran.
Richard. Assassinating the guy you are negotiating peace with, added to the fact that it was an attack in a foreign country demonstrates why Israel is a pariah country. Paying off every U.S. Congressman through AIPAC Is the great payola that is an affront to American democracy. While I was exercising my right as a U.S. citizen to petition my government by marching in DC, Netanhayu had the gall, while in Congress to say Me and others were paid for by Iran. Raping and murdering Palestinians in Israeli jails where there has been no due process, demonstrates the barbaric character of Israel. If you want to know more, see my last three articles on Substack. Michael Basta
Oh David, fuck right off with your bullshit FAFO response. What are you even doing on this page? The level of discourse is far beyond your abilities. Go sit in the corner and finger bang yourself while people who have something intelligent to write do so.
Does David need little Ns approval, acceptance or permission to be on the forum? And the FRO aggression. Maybe there’s a place in Hamas’ Gaza for her?
Chill out lady. Keep your online cussing to yourself if you want any approval. People that go from 0 to 95 in 2 seconds of discussion perhaps should be banned?! Just a thoughtful thought.
Banned? I think not. I’m pretty tame compared to some on Substack. However, because you have revealed yourself to be a grandparent, I will try and temper my responses.
So, you approve the genocide being implemented by Israel, and since you do, what in God's name are you doing here? However while you are here what did you think of those Israeli soldiers repeatedly sodomizing an inmate. Do you think he fucked with them first, and if so they were justified. That's where your sick "logic" goes.
Try a thought experiment. Take an ordinary Palestinian who heads into Israel to have his way killing, mutilating and raping both live and dead Jewish women on October 7. Returns home to a hero’s welcome, is feted with applause, social approval, cash, lifetime stipends from UN, and, eventually, unlimited virgins in wherever the heck Islamic hero’s go after the IDF eliminates him.
Compare to the social anathema treatment, criminal charges and assuredly punishment in Israel for such a crime against a jailed Palestinian.
Which is the more just society? Which do you approve of once the applause in one and punishment in the other is meted out?
No one had a hero's welcome, and those who resided in Gaza, men, women and children mostly, as well as Hamas, were greeted with an on going military assault which Israel continues to implement to this day, and is rightly defined as a genocide .
Why you have a need to justify the brutality inflicted on this man, who was sodomized, repeatedly which by the way is not uncommon in prisons that jail Palestinians. Sickening. Palestinians can rot there for years without any allegations against them, and brutality is common place. By the way your accusations as to what happened to Israeli's on Oct 7 is inaccurate and one inaccuracy is that women were raped. Since they also implemented the Hannibal Elective Israel killed many of their own. Also one would think you would express outrage that not only was Israel forewarned of the Hamas attack on a number of levels, but those warnings were ignored. The young women monitoring the gate, also reported behavior they thought suspicious, ignored and quite a few were killed since the military was not there to protect them when the assault occurred. In order to develop a good perspective on what happened and what is happening now you have to be informed of the facts.
"May God be merciful with him," his father told NPR. "To be a martyr is a huge thing, and this is what he pursued. I hope God accepts him as a martyr."
“The Israeli military released a recording it says was a phone call — placed during the attack — from one of the attackers to his family back in Gaza.
"Your son killed Jews," the voice says. "Ten with my own hands, mom!"
"Oh my son, may God protect you," a woman's voice answers in tears.
"Enough. Come back, come back," a man's voice says.
"What do you mean come back?" the son says. "There is no coming back. It's either martyrdom or victory."”
Both quotes from an NPR article. This is too easy. Heroes welcome. Although those two came back dead as a door nail as the saying goes. The Palestinians are a death cult. Their youth are tough to hate the Jews and that their existence is to kill Jews and destroy Israel. There will be no peace for them. Unless they reject their “leaders” (preferably by killing all of them” and beg for peace at any cost. Not holding my breath.
Study finds LGBQ people report higher rates of adverse childhood experiences than straight people, worse mental health as adults
A new study led by researchers at Vanderbilt found that 83% of lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer (LGBQ) individuals reported going through adverse childhood experiences such as sexual and emotional abuse, and worse mental health as adults when compared to their heterosexual peers. Also applies to straight children as well.
The zionists acquired almost all their land by murder and threat of murder against the rightful continuous occupants and cultivators of the land. They have no right to be there. The resistance has the right to “fuck with” the invaders, land thieves, and child-murderers however they must to win their lives, dignity and freedom. TO HELL WITH CHILD-murdering “israelis” and those who make excuses for them. Disarm and disband “israel.”
Aside from the more vocal responses to your post which I’m guessing you expected, I find it odd that you would not do some research when you have such a valuable resource as Professor Mearsheimer to give you some facts David.
There is no doubt that Iran and Israel would like to destroy each other if they could but they can’t. Instead through lobby influence, they are counting on the US to clean up the mess as Israel is unable to fight these countries without help, like my 2 year old toddler who throws a tantrum and asks Daddy to pick up the pieces.
I hope you avail yourself with facts and reason at some point David so you can walk around with less rage and maybe not throw out somewhat ridiculous one-liners that don’t have any real substance. Good luck to you
I assume that you are one of the squatters or supporter of the squatters… Israel is a military Barack in the Middle East.. it is not a country, it does not have roots so, it is a matter of time. This Barack without the support of the west it will disappear…. And I tanks you David for opening the eye of the people , thank you from the bottom of my heart, the world can see your ugliness, you are the worse version of if human. That why this Barack will fade away…
You are not a nation, you just a military Barack if the west, you are an extension of the white colonialism.., even the language of the people living in this Barack is a made man.
The French were wondering what went wrong about the 130 year of squatting Algerians, the historian agreed that they were kick out because of two main events , Ibn Badisse a scholar that revived Islam in the heart of the Algerians and the Brutal massacre of May 1945, were 45,000 Algerian were murdered by the French.. DEJA VU , Shekh Yassine who revived Islam in the heart of the Palestinians and now the on going Genocide so, it is a question of time. I always thought there were two way solutions, South African way and Algerian way to Palestine occupation but , I was wrong the squatters already made the decision for their future Generations.
Don’t be a fool. Israel killed the leader of a terrorist organization in a country that is sponsoring the terrorist groups that are surrounding and threatening it. The only thing disappointing about killing this murderer was not taking out the entire party celebrating the new Iranian president. Cut off the heads of the snake. Next time, let’s hope Israel kills the rest of them and destroys their oil and military infrastructure.
Interesting how Joe Biden became such a big pretend liberal since his "presidential win", since being liberal was not a thing of his past. Now, he has opened up our borders, supported Black Lives Matter even while cities burned, and on and on, and yet he and his administration are supporting a genocide implemented by a country that sees the people they are killing as little more, or perhaps less then animals. He more then anyone through his political career has gotten more money from AIPAC then most which is also supporting Israel's killing fields. Leave out democracy in referencing the US and things will be less confusing.
Just to point it out, Iranians helped; it wasn't just Israel.
I would not pretend to know if his death is good or bad, but it is still deeply satisfying as Iran is regularly attacking Israel and the guy was a terrorist.
When is the last time Iran attacked Israel? The last time I can recall was when they launched some missiles that were old, and were quickly knocked out, and that was sometime ago. So enough with the Iran regularly attacks Israel bullshit. Iran behaves with admirable integrity and restraint in the face of egregious provocations by Israel.
And, let’s not forget that the restrained barrage of missiles on April 14th was a direct response to the provocation of Israel’s April 1st destruction of an Iranian Embassy, killing many civilians.
These are the methods being used to incite war.
Israel has assassinated numerous Arab leaders, among them two principal negotiators.
One must conclude that Israel has no interest in negotiations.
As always, Israel will say that it is defending itself, and that everyone is so unfair to it. This is contradicted by the known facts.
If you have any interest in peace or justice, please note of all of these facts, verify them for yourself, so that later histories will make sense.
Israel has not defeated Hamas, and has not freed their hostages. It has no chance of victory against Hezbollah, much less against Iran. It is provoking these wars knowing,(or at least, believing), that the US is committed to assisting them.
The only sane way forward is peace through negotiation. This is the one thing Netanyahu does not want, and so it must be forced on him. Enough is enough.
“One must conclude that Israel has no interest in negotiations.”
Israel has an interest in destroying Hamas and, if required, Hezbollah. An interest in winning the Islamic war against it. As I’ve said, a people ( the “Palestinians “) that start AND LOSE 4-5, however calculated, wars with a country is destined for diaspora. Those are geopolitical catastrophes from which no comeback is happening. They are destined to become in future generations to be Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian, Jordanian etc.
Oh. This is rich. Every child in Israel is taught to believe that Palestinians are subhuman; that Arabs are too stupid to know that they actually want to be slaves, and it’s the Jews who have to teach them the error of their ways. And Israel goes on a 10 month long killing spree where it targets children and women in particular, destroys the entire civilian infrastructure of Gaza, cuts off food, water, electricity, medicine, everything and won’t let any of it in; thumbs its nose at the world; violates every international law regarding human rights; I can’t even go on, and you wonder why Arab or Iranian negotiators don’t want to shake their hands? I can tell you I won’t eat a meal with an Israeli or be in the same room as one, and I’m as American as apple pie.
Why would an Iranian, heir to a magnificent history and 5000 year old culture want anything to do with a jumped up little bullshit artist from Israel, whose been killing Muslims for years and fomenting nothing but trouble in The Middle East ever since 1948?
Every attack on Israel by Hamas or Hezbollah is an attack by Iran which is the commanding general and paymaster to both terrorist organization. They started with Iran financing.
They have been arming non-state actors such Hezbollah for decades. They refuse to recognize Israel and do not even tolerate individuals who shake hands with Israeli's. The refusal to shake hands or be a good sport on an individual level is what disturbs me the most in large part because it is incomprehensible to me.
He was also the lead negotiator at a critical point for hostage negotiations and his killing in a country’s capital during a presidential inauguration shows the current Israeli government had no interest in a ceasefire having failed their stated objectives of disabling hamas military wing and want to start something bigger.
The point being made is that this is not good for Israel and making a bigger mess will not increase Israel’s security, will not stop the Israeli brain drain (citizens leaving), and is not to the US interest. However as our politicians are unable to oppose the US Israeli lobby, we will be backing whatever the US does. It would be nice however if the Israeli government could be pressured into not making things worse for them and the United States.
I've seen very effective lobbying on occasion and it can move the ball enough to change outcomes but to say that politicians are not able to push back is factually wrong. No amount of clever marketing or pressure changes things that much.
Interesting point about the brain drain. It was many years ago that I spoke to a young man who left Israel because of pessemism on prospects for peace. He was basically abandoning ship and I am not so sure I would not do so too. Still, if people are prepared to fight for liberal hegemony (even if imperfect), I'm inclined to support them when they are attacked. That is the "least bad" option in a world of bad options. Politicians have to "dress it up" to make it sound better than that, but that is what it comes down to.
Iranian restraint would be smart. Israel is loosing the war of opinion as it practices genocide. Meanwhile Iran and Saudi are joining BRICS which will have a big meeting in Kazan Russia in October. This will further demonstrate Israel and America’s isolation. Time is against the genocide practioner. War is Israel and America’s only resource.
No they are not. The Chinese brought them together. Also both will become members of BRICS in October when Russia hosts the meeting in Kazan. Israel and USA are playing the war game. Iran, Saudi, Russia and China are playing the peace game. I project no Iranian retaliation before BRICS.
The revelation of systematic anal rape of Palestinian detainees by IDF soldiers seems like an ideal opportunity to shrug off a Zionist blackmailer if you're a member of Congress. "I can no longer support the State of Israel in good conscience after the revelation of these heinous crimes." If anyone criticizes you, you could just ask "Do you support the systematic anal rape of Palestinians by the IDF?" All bets would be off, and if you're a venal, immoral Congressman, you could at least make AIPAC double your payoff to get you back on board. Why doesn't every interviewer ask Biden at every interview, "Do you condemn the systematic anal rape of Palestinian detainees by the IDF?" "What is the President's current stance on systematic anal rape?" "What is the White House's policy on widespread support of systematic retaliatory anal rape amongst 47 percent of the Israeli population?" "Has the White House considered a change of policy on systematic profilactic anal rape?" Every single question to any employee of the USG should contain the words "anal rape" until the influence of this lobby is taken down at least to the level of say, the National Association of Mortgage Lenders.
Nice to see Hasbara trolls becoming more subtle, lol.
Fortunately for the Russians, Chinese, Iranians and North Koreans, they now have a ballistic missile shield that actually works.
The rest of us, in the West, will have to pray there is a technology that can sink the Israeli nuke subs before this deranged Theocracy launches the Samson Option against our helpless cities and capitals.
The irony here is that people who can’t listen to Richard Wagner’s operas - so beloved by the Fuhrer - can imitate his art with their own version of Gotterdamerung. They stole most of the stories in the Old Testament from older, wiser, superior cultures, and now they even steal the end of the Ring Cycle as their idea for the end of the world. Not very bright, but really good as stealing. Like any low level thug.
It's a little eerie watching NATO weapons and tanks roll into and through small, mostly civilian, Russian towns... Somebody speculate on why NATO is doing that.
Before speculating on why (Kursk), you have to identify who.. who planned it? Who is capable of strategically plotting the incursion (not Ukraine); identifying targets, reacting to the Russian response? (not Ukraine). Modern warfare is not a free for all.
NATO weapons, tanks, bombs, launching systems, engineering equipment were used. Western surveillance and guidance was/is used. Apparently, mercenaries (French, Polish) were also used. This was a (NATO) operation.
So what were the objectives, possibly?
Why did the west feign ignorance (obviously, as our generals put off Russian calls for several days).
Ukraine can't tie its shoelaces, in planning or surveillance in wartime capabilities, on its own. And it can't afford toothpaste...
The dumbest but smartest thing that the hubris, deranged, war criminal Netanyahu and his equally deranged out of control henchmen is that they have for the first time in 1400 years UNITED the Sunni and the Shi’ite Arabs across the region.
Regardless of opinion by those who have very little understanding of the complexity of the entire region what appears to be lost on all is ultimately what Israel will end up very afraid of is the …….. Arab Street!! The Arab Street know exactly what is happening and a far more exposed to real media - not the trash, false narratives and hideously censored stuff the West is chewing out to dumb us down.
So let’s watch how methodically this is going to play out. Iran has not backed down, they will play the long game and in their own good time. In the meantime the Israelis can just hang out in their bunkers and play swingers with each other. It seems they like that sort of tik toc stuff for record keeping.
But I watched the entire interview and it was really excellent. Measured and delivered masterfully by a highly educated and impressive. Man. But then I am a fan of his interviews with the Judge.
Thank you sir for imparting your important wealth of knowledge to those of us willing to listen attentively.
Fucking brilliant! Lissen up, peeps 🐥 ! Write to your representatives in Congress and find out where they stand on government approved systematic anal rape of illegally detained Palestinian citizens.
Damn! There’s honest Arabs living in Jerusalem, and I don’t want them hurt. Maybe somebody could just put some explosive charges on it and detonate them. I admire your geographic knowledge of the area.
Today's 20s should determine what the world will be like for the next 40-60 years. All people like to live in comfort, in their familiar world. And it is easy to confuse a person with the news, especially from biased sources, but if they understand the trends, they will maintain their ability for deduction. Our task today is to be in the modern information flow, to be able to use the acquired knowledge ("keys") as guidelines in practical activities and everyday life. According to the forecasts of the McKinsey Institute, by 2030 from 400 million to 800 million people, mainly in Europe, will lose their jobs. This will lead to a sharp drop in blue—collar incomes by 26-56%. If the main victim of AI and cheap foreign labour is primarily blue—collar workers, then the main impact of robotics will be somewhat higher - on the "intellectual" part of the middle-class layer: engineers, lawyers, accountants, machine operators and even teachers. The result will be: a) a sharp deterioration of the life style, impoverishment of certain segments of the middle stratum and maintenance employees , some of whose representatives will certainly join the ranks of the precariat (a class of socially unsettled people who do not have guaranteed employment); b) the impoverishment of the already poor to poverty; c) the emergence of not just a layer, but, as emphasized in the IMF report, a caste of the unemployed.
There are especially many young people and women among the precariums. The feminization of work (and in general the feminization//neutral-genderalisation of life) is a very important aspect of precarization. Reproductive functions will be the priority of the women from developing countries. And sooner or later, the politicians held on strings by the corporations, like the infamous Black Rock, will be swept away by the wrath of the ever hungry new poor and social migrants. In the case of Israel, it will be lead by Hezbollah. Like the CIA-fed Bin Laden, it will turn the weapons given to it against those who gave them to her. The unified anger of the Arabs will sweep away modern civilization. The history of the Roman Empire highlights the peculiarities of the trend.
The probability that Schwab and Co will come up with a new breakthrough solution is somewhere 5-7%. The end of history might be right there. But even if the US military lobby project manages to keep the corporative civilization afloat , this world is destined to exist for no more than 2-3 generations. Because they will be overwhelmed by this new barbarians. And we can't do anything about it.
Over the past 40 years, American cinema has been clearly dominated by two themes - zombies and the planet of the apes, on which dozens of films have already been made. The zombie theme reflects the African roots of a significant part of social migrants - with their cults and fears and modern methods of psychosocial manipulation of the masses of an urbanized society. New films about the planet of the apes are the message of the clairvoyants.
I think the Ukrainian move to capture territory in Kursk is a smart one as long as they don't stretch their supply line so far that their soldiers get trapped because they advanced too much. Ukraine should now just dig in and mine the whole place as much as the Russians have mined their land. The advance in Kursk may not have a military objective but it would be an excellent bargaining chip in negotiations. India has had three wars with Pakistan in the last 70 years and this is exactly the move they have made each time. India initially loses ground to Pakistan in Kashmir (which is the disputed territory) because Pakistan has the height advantage, but Indians always take a lot of unrelated land in the plains, so that they have something to bargain with in the negotiations which inevitably take place.
Channel 12 asked "Do you agree with the statement that a soldier is allowed to carry out an operation involving the rape of a prisoner with hands bound?"
For the professor Palestinian prisoner is equal to a terrorist?
Richard. Assassinating the guy you are negotiating peace with, added to the fact that it was an attack in a foreign country demonstrates why Israel is a pariah country.

Not quite sure what it is you’re babbling about.

Why would an Iranian, heir to a magnificent history and 5000 year old culture want anything to do with a jumped up little bullshit artist from Israel, whose been killing Muslims for years and fomenting nothing but trouble in The Middle East ever since 1948?
Every attack on Israel by Hamas or Hezbollah is an attack by Iran which is the commanding general and paymaster to both terrorist organization. They started with Iran financing.
Later histories? The idea is almost laughable. We’re on the Armageddon Trail to the Apocalypse! Ain’t gonna be no history reading’
If you have no idea what you’re babbling about (and YOU DON’T) try not to pretend.
They have been arming non-state actors such Hezbollah for decades. They refuse to recognize Israel and do not even tolerate individuals who shake hands with Israeli's. The refusal to shake hands or be a good sport on an individual level is what disturbs me the most in large part because it is incomprehensible to me.
Not big on history, I see.
He was also the lead negotiator at a critical point for hostage negotiations and his killing in a country’s capital during a presidential inauguration shows the current Israeli government had no interest in a ceasefire having failed their stated objectives of disabling hamas military wing and want to start something bigger.
The point being made is that this is not good for Israel and making a bigger mess will not increase Israel’s security, will not stop the Israeli brain drain (citizens leaving), and is not to the US interest. However as our politicians are unable to oppose the US Israeli lobby, we will be backing whatever the US does. It would be nice however if the Israeli government could be pressured into not making things worse for them and the United States.
I've seen very effective lobbying on occasion and it can move the ball enough to change outcomes but to say that politicians are not able to push back is factually wrong. No amount of clever marketing or pressure changes things that much.
Interesting point about the brain drain. It was many years ago that I spoke to a young man who left Israel because of pessemism on prospects for peace. He was basically abandoning ship and I am not so sure I would not do so too. Still, if people are prepared to fight for liberal hegemony (even if imperfect), I'm inclined to support them when they are attacked. That is the "least bad" option in a world of bad options. Politicians have to "dress it up" to make it sound better than that, but that is what it comes down to.
Iranian restraint would be smart. Israel is loosing the war of opinion as it practices genocide. Meanwhile Iran and Saudi are joining BRICS which will have a big meeting in Kazan Russia in October. This will further demonstrate Israel and America’s isolation. Time is against the genocide practioner. War is Israel and America’s only resource.
Iran and Saudi Arabia are enemies
No they are not. The Chinese brought them together. Also both will become members of BRICS in October when Russia hosts the meeting in Kazan. Israel and USA are playing the war game. Iran, Saudi, Russia and China are playing the peace game. I project no Iranian retaliation before BRICS.
The revelation of systematic anal rape of Palestinian detainees by IDF soldiers seems like an ideal opportunity to shrug off a Zionist blackmailer if you're a member of Congress. "I can no longer support the State of Israel in good conscience after the revelation of these heinous crimes." If anyone criticizes you, you could just ask "Do you support the systematic anal rape of Palestinians by the IDF?" All bets would be off, and if you're a venal, immoral Congressman, you could at least make AIPAC double your payoff to get you back on board. Why doesn't every interviewer ask Biden at every interview, "Do you condemn the systematic anal rape of Palestinian detainees by the IDF?" "What is the President's current stance on systematic anal rape?" "What is the White House's policy on widespread support of systematic retaliatory anal rape amongst 47 percent of the Israeli population?" "Has the White House considered a change of policy on systematic profilactic anal rape?" Every single question to any employee of the USG should contain the words "anal rape" until the influence of this lobby is taken down at least to the level of say, the National Association of Mortgage Lenders.
Nice to see Hasbara trolls becoming more subtle, lol.
Fortunately for the Russians, Chinese, Iranians and North Koreans, they now have a ballistic missile shield that actually works.
The rest of us, in the West, will have to pray there is a technology that can sink the Israeli nuke subs before this deranged Theocracy launches the Samson Option against our helpless cities and capitals.
The irony here is that people who can’t listen to Richard Wagner’s operas - so beloved by the Fuhrer - can imitate his art with their own version of Gotterdamerung. They stole most of the stories in the Old Testament from older, wiser, superior cultures, and now they even steal the end of the Ring Cycle as their idea for the end of the world. Not very bright, but really good as stealing. Like any low level thug.
It's a little eerie watching NATO weapons and tanks roll into and through small, mostly civilian, Russian towns... Somebody speculate on why NATO is doing that.
Before speculating on why (Kursk), you have to identify who.. who planned it? Who is capable of strategically plotting the incursion (not Ukraine); identifying targets, reacting to the Russian response? (not Ukraine). Modern warfare is not a free for all.
NATO weapons, tanks, bombs, launching systems, engineering equipment were used. Western surveillance and guidance was/is used. Apparently, mercenaries (French, Polish) were also used. This was a (NATO) operation.
So what were the objectives, possibly?
Why did the west feign ignorance (obviously, as our generals put off Russian calls for several days).
Ukraine can't tie its shoelaces, in planning or surveillance in wartime capabilities, on its own. And it can't afford toothpaste...
Nyet means nyet. Remember that 2008 cable from Ambassador Burns? Wikileaks published it.
NATO is trying to drain Russia and they will sacrifice every soldier Ukraine has. A cynical yet futile operation
The dumbest but smartest thing that the hubris, deranged, war criminal Netanyahu and his equally deranged out of control henchmen is that they have for the first time in 1400 years UNITED the Sunni and the Shi’ite Arabs across the region.
Regardless of opinion by those who have very little understanding of the complexity of the entire region what appears to be lost on all is ultimately what Israel will end up very afraid of is the …….. Arab Street!! The Arab Street know exactly what is happening and a far more exposed to real media - not the trash, false narratives and hideously censored stuff the West is chewing out to dumb us down.
So let’s watch how methodically this is going to play out. Iran has not backed down, they will play the long game and in their own good time. In the meantime the Israelis can just hang out in their bunkers and play swingers with each other. It seems they like that sort of tik toc stuff for record keeping.
But I watched the entire interview and it was really excellent. Measured and delivered masterfully by a highly educated and impressive. Man. But then I am a fan of his interviews with the Judge.
Thank you sir for imparting your important wealth of knowledge to those of us willing to listen attentively.
Fucking brilliant! Lissen up, peeps 🐥 ! Write to your representatives in Congress and find out where they stand on government approved systematic anal rape of illegally detained Palestinian citizens.
Tehran should be leveled.
Tel Aviv should be engulfed in flames, and I hope there’s a missile specially designated to obliterate the fucking wailing wall.
@Little Nell
The "fucking wailing wall" is in Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv/Jaffa? Are you wanting a two for one sale.
Damn! There’s honest Arabs living in Jerusalem, and I don’t want them hurt. Maybe somebody could just put some explosive charges on it and detonate them. I admire your geographic knowledge of the area.
U-tube NO longer exists.
DO not pay them.
They are now controlled by the Government.
Today's 20s should determine what the world will be like for the next 40-60 years. All people like to live in comfort, in their familiar world. And it is easy to confuse a person with the news, especially from biased sources, but if they understand the trends, they will maintain their ability for deduction. Our task today is to be in the modern information flow, to be able to use the acquired knowledge ("keys") as guidelines in practical activities and everyday life. According to the forecasts of the McKinsey Institute, by 2030 from 400 million to 800 million people, mainly in Europe, will lose their jobs. This will lead to a sharp drop in blue—collar incomes by 26-56%. If the main victim of AI and cheap foreign labour is primarily blue—collar workers, then the main impact of robotics will be somewhat higher - on the "intellectual" part of the middle-class layer: engineers, lawyers, accountants, machine operators and even teachers. The result will be: a) a sharp deterioration of the life style, impoverishment of certain segments of the middle stratum and maintenance employees , some of whose representatives will certainly join the ranks of the precariat (a class of socially unsettled people who do not have guaranteed employment); b) the impoverishment of the already poor to poverty; c) the emergence of not just a layer, but, as emphasized in the IMF report, a caste of the unemployed.
There are especially many young people and women among the precariums. The feminization of work (and in general the feminization//neutral-genderalisation of life) is a very important aspect of precarization. Reproductive functions will be the priority of the women from developing countries. And sooner or later, the politicians held on strings by the corporations, like the infamous Black Rock, will be swept away by the wrath of the ever hungry new poor and social migrants. In the case of Israel, it will be lead by Hezbollah. Like the CIA-fed Bin Laden, it will turn the weapons given to it against those who gave them to her. The unified anger of the Arabs will sweep away modern civilization. The history of the Roman Empire highlights the peculiarities of the trend.
The probability that Schwab and Co will come up with a new breakthrough solution is somewhere 5-7%. The end of history might be right there. But even if the US military lobby project manages to keep the corporative civilization afloat , this world is destined to exist for no more than 2-3 generations. Because they will be overwhelmed by this new barbarians. And we can't do anything about it.
Over the past 40 years, American cinema has been clearly dominated by two themes - zombies and the planet of the apes, on which dozens of films have already been made. The zombie theme reflects the African roots of a significant part of social migrants - with their cults and fears and modern methods of psychosocial manipulation of the masses of an urbanized society. New films about the planet of the apes are the message of the clairvoyants.
Israel cyberattacks against Iran?
I think the Ukrainian move to capture territory in Kursk is a smart one as long as they don't stretch their supply line so far that their soldiers get trapped because they advanced too much. Ukraine should now just dig in and mine the whole place as much as the Russians have mined their land. The advance in Kursk may not have a military objective but it would be an excellent bargaining chip in negotiations. India has had three wars with Pakistan in the last 70 years and this is exactly the move they have made each time. India initially loses ground to Pakistan in Kashmir (which is the disputed territory) because Pakistan has the height advantage, but Indians always take a lot of unrelated land in the plains, so that they have something to bargain with in the negotiations which inevitably take place.

Honestly I am sick of Israel. My fervent wish is for the Axis of Resistance to teach the Zionists a lesson they will remember for a long time.
Channel 12 asked "Do you agree with the statement that a soldier is allowed to carry out an operation involving the rape of a prisoner with hands bound?"
For the professor Palestinian prisoner is equal to a terrorist?
