Dominate the deep sea. Hm?

That is not possible. That is fear mongering.

At depth, there will be so much pressure there will be chronic problems. Finding what might be elements of one kind or another with sonar is one thing, it is quite something else to harvest it and maintain a sovereign authority to claim it.

It is not possible to maintain a national security interest at depth. International waters are not governed by a single authority.

Thank you, President Biden

I believe President Biden talked with Israel’s citizens in a speech that reflects the commitment of the USA to Israel. It is unconditional because we are both nations of moral people that value life and the expression of peaceful religious freedom. 

I think Israel and Egypt are in very difficult positions that really reflects the violent nature of the circumstances in Gaza when it comes to the distribution of humanitarian aid and who will actually be the recipients.

There is a strong history within the border area with Israel and Egypt of terrorist activity on both sides of the border. Once the aid starts flowing there is concern it will make it into the wrong hands and the people will be deprived of that humanitarian assistance.

This violent presence is the innate nature of Gaza and has been for decades. It is a very difficult region of the Middle East when it comes to mitigating that violence and serving the people.

A large part of the distribution of the aid is putting assets in place that can mitigate interference by terrorists. In all honesty putting assets in place is mostly impossible. The people themselves will have to mitigate distribution.

Israel has consented to allow the aid into Gaza following the speech made by President Biden. The timeline to that is not yet determined.

Israel has a hornet’s nest of problems in securing the country from further terrorist attacks on their citizens. No country, be it Saudi Arabia or Iran should be stirring the pot of violence in the region if they actually care about the well being of the people of Gaza.

The hospital was hit by terrorists inside Gaza

The target seems intended for Israel.

The region, including Saudi Arabia needs to get on the right side of this incident and commission Israel to continue to disarm the terrorists’ networks that are killing people at will in hopes of genocide of the Jewish people.

“A Pogram” (click here)

The attack into Gaza was well rehearsed and intended to slaughter innocent citizens of Israel. The terrorists were sufficiently armed with grenades, firearms and ammunition to carry out assassinations of innocent people.

Israel has the right to exist and defend itself!

The Jordan Summit was premature.

Israel hasn’t been secured yet. The summit was for terms of peace. There can be no peace until Hamas and any other radical groups have been disarmed. 

The summit should have met for an information exchange proving the violence and where it stemmed from and what exactly peace looks like.

The summit should have begun a framework of understanding where the dangers are and how to best disarm the radicals. Abbas has denounced Hamas and the violence. Now, the participants in the summit have to begin to understand what Israel is facing to bring about peace.

Egypt and Jordan does not know what Israel knows about Gaza. It seems to me the country’s leaders involved need a reality check.

It is my understanding the Jordanian Queen Raina is Palestinian from the West Bank. I doubt she can bring an understanding of Hamas and Gaza to any summit. I sincerely doubt she approves of the Israeli deaths and hostage taking. She should make a plea along side the King for the end of aggression by those in Gaza to begin to deescalate the war.

Israel is concerned about humanitarian relief reaching Hamas near the southern border. Israel must find an opportunity to stop the shelling and allow movement across the Gaza border into Egypt. Once people are in Egypt they can receive humanitarian relief. 

Perhaps Egypt and Israel can work together to secure the crossing. 

Israel owns the moral high ground.

The shelling by a Jihadist group that caused 100s of deaths at a hospital only proves the fire power the IDF has to end in Gaza. It also proves the extreme danger in the region as the number and strength of munitions by these groups maybe unknown. 

The attack by a jihadist group on a hospital shows extreme anarchy and danger. Israel is correct, the best outcomes for the Palestinian people is to leave Gaza.

I know Israel is saying the deaths in a hospital is an accident by a jihadist group, but, I am not that generous. Such an event will bring international outrage against Israel. Israel is not the problem, it wants peace. The problem are the radicals lining up to kill the people of Israel.

Checkmate (click here)

Any excuse is a good excuse (click here)

Can’t forget North Korea as a fourth partner with the false narrative (click here)

There is no reason for the communists to be bad actors except they have been preparing for this for a long time. 

I want to step back from the obvious, and “Checkmate” alludes to this, but where would Russian plans for confrontation of the Free World be without any opposition to the Russian invasion into Ukraine?

There are those that believe the Free World is blind to the communist plans, that is not the case at all.

The Ukraine people taking up arms against the Russian genocide ended enormous plans to use Ukraine for Russia’s own war theater against the Free World. Ukraine is a very self-reliant country and a fantastic ally that help complete the picture of strength for any country.

The Free World has an indebtedness to Ukraine for demanding the protection and return of its homeland with intact borders. Mind you, Ukraine did not have to take up arms, they could have surrendered. Ukraine knows it’s own power and strength and Putin tried to break them through the use of nationalism and attempted control of the politics of Ukraine.

Now is not the time for American Republicans to play politics with Ukraine readiness, training and strength. That is Putin’s Russian playbook, not that of a Free World political party.

All that said, the USA is an ally to Israel and has been for a very long time. The movement of USA assets into the region of Israel’s expanding national security invasions into Gaza is the response of a strong ally. It is also about a presence to keep the peace beyond the borders of Gaza. This is Israel’s war to ensure the security of its citizens and end the reign of a terrorist group called Hamas. It is the moral high ground.

There is an enormous economic forum in Beijing for China to attempt to shore up the movement of Wall Street from its domestic wealth. The economic forum will turn into a reminder of the ties an enormous number of third world and BRIC countries have at a time the nuclear countries of Iran, China, Russia and North Korea have plans to destroy the Free World. 

In other words, China is hoping to dominate the world stage and bring the Free World to its knees even if it takes nukes to do it. China has a lot to lose if it pulls such a stunt by invoking a demand for a war alliance from economic customers seeking peace with most Imams demanding it. 

At any rate, I could write a dissertation about this, but, the bottom line is President Biden is on his way to the Middle East to shore up his own ideas of National Security. The is no time running out as Iran states for the Palestinian people. The border with Egypt needs refugee camps to provide initial humanitarian relief and process people to their homes outside of Gaza and redirection to the West Bank of all others.

I guess at the most liars like North Korea and Putin should be informed this attack into Israel will have a resolve that will stabilize the region and prevent a return of the existing insecurity with a terrorist group, Hamas. There is no reason why Russia, China, North Korea or Iran or any others should expect a larger war victimizing the entire population of the Middle East. Syria had its genocidal war with Putin’s permission and tanks. That civil war was a false success and hubris about it should be tempered with the truth and logic. 

The facts are clear, one of the reasons all these bad actors are itching for war in attempt to bring down, as Xi puts it “To end the liberal governments of the world,” is because they can all end up at the world courts facing their own crimes as the very leaders of countries where the citizens basically hate them but suffer from oppression.

The Free World is currently locking down domestic security so enemies and crazy people can’t attack from the inside of borders. 

There is just no reasons for these tensions at all. Lying and building propaganda only ensures the communists place in history and the defeat of a war that should never have been fought. 

I wish President Biden great success. Everyone at the UN General Assembly heard his words. They know who he is and what the USA stands for. China should sincerely minimize its agenda to turn its economic forum into war mongering.

Good night.

Egypt Border

It is unfortunate there is a delay of the people leaving Gaza. They should be allowed to proceed. The commercial airspace is difficult at best in Israel. The people leaving Gaza are doing as directed in order to save their lives and their children’s lives. 

There can be issues with credentials and one person can delay the line for days on end. Appropriate steps have to be taken to relieve these problems. I am a little curious how a region of the world which participates very willing in the movement of pilgrims is experiencing this congestion. There are NGOs available to help, let them help.

I realize Israel wants to stop every member of Hamas from leaving Gaza, but, the humanitarian crisis is important and people need relief.

Israel should realize that murderers never get away with it. Since the convening of the Nuremberg Trials Nazis have been discovered, arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced. That will happen here as well. Every Hamas member will live looking over their shoulder as they are now wanted for murder and human rights violations.

The humanitarian crisis at the Egypt border needs to be addressed. Egypt will need the expertise of the USA to allow an orderly flow of people out of Gaza. As they pass through the border they should be ready to declare their destination and then movement forward to aid and travel.

Of concern is any movement into Gaza that brings terrorists or other bad players to the war.

Especially of concern are women, children and the elderly as they are the more delicate people leaving Gaza. It is best to allow movement out of Gaza as it will diminish the casualties and allow Israel ease of movement into the region to begin to flush out Hamas and destroy their war infrastructure. 

President Abbas stated the Palestinian people denounce Hamas and the violence that organization carried out against Israel. The West Bank can be a destination for Palestinians once calling Gaza their home. President Abbas should be making plans to receive them while guaranteeing Israel there will be no further confrontation, but, only an agenda toward peace.

This is a war between Israel and Hamas. There is no need to escalate the war. The Palestinians need to move out of Gaza to a safer place. It will be easy to identify all those leaving Gaza through video recording of the border crossings.

The Palestinians are far safer without Hamas among them. The Palestinians were not cared about by Hamas. It is time to move forward with evacuations and movements to safer ground.

I looked at the videos coming out of Gaza

It can be difficult to watch. The people are told to evacuate to southern Gaza. That is their absolute best option in whatever manner they can.

The people of Gaza are screaming at the world to stop Israel. Did those people ever scream at Hamas to stop?

There are all sorts of fear of an ever widening offensive by other terrorist groups and even Iran. 

Really?

Where are these groups and Iran with humanitarian relief in southern Gaza. Where are they to assist in evacuation?

So.

 

The world should shiver in fear of those without an ounce of religious tolerance or humanitarian capacity. That is the problem, they want to kill and don’t even care about their own.

Just stop. All the fear mongers have no place in this.

Gaza

 https://thehill.com/policy/international/4251728-red-cross-warning-gaza-hospitals-morgues/amp/

This is a report from “The Hill” about the International Red Cross regarding the situation in Gaza.

A couple/few of things come to mind:

1. This is a war zone. It was not created by Israel, it was created by Hamas.

2. This is no longer a habitable region and people should evacuate. In the news conference it was made very clear people were to move to southern Gaza where there would be relief from the war.

3. The attack by Hamas was barbaric. There is no reasonable response to this except to destroy every munitions aspect of Hamas potential. That means many buildings including civilian buildings will be destroyed. Why? Because Hamas used civilian infrastructure as human shields.

4. Part of the reason this attack occurred was because Hamas was extremely covert and used their own people to hide their munitions potential. The only way Israel could ever know the readiness of this terrorist plan would be to have foot soldiers going from building to building to assess the militarized situation. That was impossible because it would not be tolerated and Israeli soldiers would be killed on a regular basis by Hamas.

All that said, Hamas had plans. They were well made plans. These plans were not defensive, they were offensive. Hamas was going to launch these plans at some point with the same death toll if not worse because this was a plan for genocide. When plans to kill focus on children as a target, including infants, that is genocide. If one recalls when September 11th occurred the Palestinians were one of the few peoples rejoicing at the death of Americans and that included Jewish people as well.

I do not have sympathy for any aspect of Hamas and their militarized infrastructure including a reported tunnels infrastructure where some are probably taking shelter.

The Right Political Wing in the USA has an expression when they don’t approve of any aspect of life, “It has to be removed by the roots.” In this case that clearly illustrates the extent Israel has a task of monumental extreme. This is a situation that will not easily resolve. It will be years if not a lifetime of Israel’s military presence. It will eventually settle down and it will be the Palestinians that will have to establish peace.

Gaza will never be a homeland to the Palestinians. It never will again. I remind that Gaza was an expression during the time of Arial Sharon to establish peace between these two nations of people. Gaza will be retaken and dominated by Israel and no organized terrorist network will be tolerated ever again.

New Hampshire Republican Primary Ballot

The New Hampshire Republican Primary Ballot is unconstitutional.

The 14th Amendment to the USA Constitution prohibits insurrectionists from running for office. Donald John Trump appears on the New Hampshire Republican Primary ballot. The ballot violates the USA Constitution.

Donald John Trump rallied fellow insurrectionists in Washington, DC and then proceeded to assault his Secret Service agent when he was driving back to the White House. There is a no doubt Trump is an insurrectionist. Absolutely no doubt.

Many of the men and women that were rallied by Trump have faced a judge and have been sentenced. Many of the leaders of groups that followed Trump are now serving lengthy prison terms. 

Israeli children

The children were targets of Hamas’ plans. They intend genocide. When children are targets of plans for war that is hatred of the ethnicity. Hamas hated the people of Israel. 

That is why the prayers by the Jewish people at the Al-Aqsa Mosque resulted in the deadly assault. Hamas did not feel generous toward the people of Israel when they wanted to pray. 

There are reports about different reactions at Friday prayers in the Muslim faith. There are some Imams with firey hatred, but, most Imams are calling for peace.

There is one report of the IDF at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. I think they are worried for more violence there.

Secretary Austin

It is a solace to know the USA is on the job in Israel. His statements today were all inclusive. He stood on the laws of war as well as delineating Hamas as a terrorist organization and the attack a terrorist attack. There is no hatred expressed so much as resolve to protect Israel as a strong partner and a people chronically under threat around the world. 

The attack by Hamas was in reaction to religious intolerance and quite unexpected. Hamas cloaked itself well in politics that hid an unthinkable agenda. There will be no more trust if these monsters and the Palestinian Authority must have maintained distance from this agenda and continue to do so in the future.

Embassies of Israel and its allies need to add additional security while this war plays out and is ended. There are members of Hamas hiding behind hostages that have a global reach. There are terrorist organizations that are sympathetic to Hamas and that cannot be ignored. To say this moment in time is a tinderbox is an understatement. I see anything occurring outside of the immediate war zone as fires that wrongfully ignite due to values of hatred. No doubt those fires will be extinguished as quickly as they occur.

I thank Secretary Austin and the Pentagon for its readiness, and President Biden for unwavering leadership. For as much as the Free World wants this to be ended it is foolish at this point to believe that is possible.

We are dealing once again with global terrorist threats. We all must be strong in our resolve.

Americans in Gaza

There are Americans in Gaza. Women, children and elderly. They attempt to flee to Egypt but the route was bombed. There must be a way to rescue them. Maybe by water. Boats that can get near shore can transport them. Israel would have to specify a safe loading zone.

Reflecting on the Americans in Gaza, they are best to surrender to Israel. If they are captured by Hamas they will become hostages. Perhaps Israel can find a place where Americans can surrender themselves safely. At that point they can be verified to be Americans that had no role with Hamas or the attack and then released to return home. I think that is the safest way forward and one that will meet with Israel’s approval.

Harvard’s President is correct.

The student groups are to caught up in their own messaging to see the forest for the trees.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/10/10/metro/harvard-israel-statement/?et_rid=873637846&s_campaign=globesmostpopular:newsletter&et_rid=873637846&s_campaign=globesmostpopular:newsletter

The idea the attack on innocent civilians was justified in some way is bizarre. There is absolutely no justification for any of the vicious terrorist attack on innocent civilians. No justification at all.

The idea also that both sides need to end the violence is also bizarre. Israel has a right to domestic peace of which measure after measure was taken including Iron Dome to absolutely no avail killing some of the most dearest and pure hearted of Israeli citizens.

There is absolutely no doubt this was an attack on unarmed civilians by terrorists called Hamas. 

There is no one more than me that wanted to see peace with Israel and the Palestinians. Most Americans, including Jewish Americans demanded over and over for decades for a Two State Solution. That solution had to include an understanding of the international religious understanding placed on these lands. Obviously now and painfully so, that peace would never be forthcoming.

Israel has a right to exist and have peace within its borders. That reality was rattled to the roots by this attack by Hamas. The truth of the religious intolerance is evident now. There is no diplomacy that can erase the truth telling of this attack upon innocent people.

Dear God open your eyes.

These young people, now dead, were magnificent. There was no expression of peace, kindness and inclusion greater than theirs that horrid night. Innocent people were gun down in their homes. They were slaughtered. There is no ignoring the facts. 

If diplomatic relations are to return it will have to be with a Palestine Authority that condemns the violence and accept the fact Gaza will be a very different place without any power to Hamas. Hamas will be disarmed, disbanded and eliminated from any political standing. This will never happen again.

Everyone regardless of homeland should look forward to the day Israel needs no Iron Dome and a peaceful and prosperous Palestinian State exists as their homeland. 

The potential for a larger Middle East conflict

To some extent the Free World enemies are smiling at the extremist attacks by Hamas of the innocent in Israel. With that reality comes the potential for a Middle East confrontation of global concern.

To begin, this war began with attacks on civilians in Israel over an event regarding prayers at a holy site of international interest. This type of aggression has been witnessed in both Syria and Ukraine which involved Russian influence.

This war desired by Hamas also involves innocent women, children and the elderly, no different than Syria or Ukraine. The Geneva Conventions are very clear regarding the protections of civilians and this on all these fronts are human rights violations. I am fairly certain Israel will be pleading before the World Court as does Ukraine on a regular basis.

However, it is my belief China and Russia along with their allies are itching for a fight. Also consider separately Iran for a variety of reasons including domestic unrest as well as hatred of the Free World internationally. Part of this escalated hate internationally with the Free World involved the assassination by Trump of two Iranian generals.

Those deaths violate even USA policy and should be brought before the World Court. The USA was not at war with Iran, but, Saudi Arabia was in conflict with the Houthis and Jared Kushner was running foreign policy for the USA in the Middle East. Everyone knows Kushner was gathering wealth from at least one Saudi charity while serving his role in the Middle East. All of those issues are deeply corrupt, but, not a focus of US Justice Department. I would think the Saudis would run an investigation though.

The point is, Israel has every right to carry out a war with Hamas to secure domestic peace. I also have not read any reaction by the Palestinian Authorities regarding the attacks on civilians by Hamas. If the PA takes a strong stand against these attacks and is found to be innocent of any planning or involvement, the Two State Solution can survive this.

The focus regarding this war is one that involves human rights and international religious freedom. Hamas had no right in attacking civilian populations at all. If they attacked military targets they could have an argument, but, this began with nothing but pure religious based hatred of Israeli citizens. I am still astounded by the extreme hate carried out by leaders in Gaza.

On many occasions Prime Minister Netanyahu stated the holy sites were in danger because of extremist groups like Hamas. He stated that many times and now we know why. He obviously has a clear understanding of such hatred in the region. 

These lands are steeped in religious definition for the Abrahamic faiths and for visitors all over the world. The fact there is this level of religious hatred in the region is a concern for all countries and the nations of people within them. The hatred needs to end with a realization love of God takes many forms and tolerance of differences is a global concern. Within that context is NO reason to escalate tensions among countries outside of Israel.

This war is about Israel and everything we hold dear with these people. This is about ending religious extremism that propagates violence of any kind. This is about peace in the Middle East and the best way forward.

Hamas has always had the reputation of violence and hatred. It was thought by giving them a political status with the Palestinian state the violence would be contained, but, obviously that is not the case. Hamas has been a simmering war for a long time now and prayers by humble people triggered a vicious attack on innocent people.

One of the most disturbing sites of this attack by Hamas was a gathering near the Gaza border with music that celebrated peace. The young people gathered there close to the Gaza border wanted it to be known quite loudly they were interested in peace and inclusion. They danced and sang with pure hearts of love. All that was nothing more than an opportunity to express hatred by Hamas. 

The focus of this level of atrocity has to be expressed by all the major countries in the world and the attacks and continuing assaults by Hamas denounced. This attack by Hamas includes citizens of many countries and that cannot be ignored or minimized.

There is absolutely no reason for any country to take up arms against another in the name of Hamas. This is a specific action by Israel with full justification for it. I am confident Israel is, has been and will continue to follow the rules of war.

Biden’s doing all the heavy lifting.

Working with NATO to defend Ukraine and end genocide.

Working to defend South Korea and Japan.

Deploying a striker group to assist Israel to end the violence caused by Hamas in Gaza. In all sincerity I don’t see Israel stopping at the current border. I believe Israel will take back Gaza after Sharon’s generosity failed and resulted in death.

The USA can actually remove Palestinians from danger out of Gaza. They will be refugees, but, safe from harm.

Biden doesn’t see the USA as muscle bound. He sees it’s military strength as an asset to end conflict. It is about peace and not aggression. Enforcing the peace has been the the mission of the USA for a little no time. 

Appalling

I suppose it shouldn’t be surprising the Republicans are playing politics with a war between Israel and Hamas.

There is no evidence Iran is involved. Iran armed the Houthis far differently. If they were arming Hamas it would be a different profile attack. 

Israel has and is always vigilant regarding munitions moving around the Middle East. It is why out of the blue there will be a strike against a truck of munitions moving from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Hamas or the PA. 

Israel monitors all of these munition movements. The US does as well and stops Iranian boats heading for the Houthis or otherwise.

But, as to the Republicans, they don’t know what they are talking about, but yet trying to ignite some kind of hate dialogue to serve heir politics.

Now is the time for politics aside and a solid front against such violence and support for Israel. There are many people dead and the rockets are still being fired.

President Biden…

 …must address the people of the USA and bring an understanding as to what occurred and why. What exactly is our role now that Israel has declared war.

There are more than 1100 dead in just a short time. Is evacuation in order to bring those most effected to the USA? And what of the Hamas Palestinians? I can’t help but believe there are women, children and elderly that need protection from war. What of them? 

What is the Palestinian Authority saying? They need to denounce the violence.

There are going to be far reaching problems.

https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2023/10/frustration-bubbles-among-palestinians-over-israeli-saudi-normalization

The Saudi answer to the outburst should be interesting considering the normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia. 

Israel

Peace through prayer was too much to hope for. Hamas will be sorry if not already. Israel has a right to exist and have peace for it’s citizens.

The war is not likely to stop soon. The Palestine children should be allowed to leave.

There is speculation Israel and the USA should have known Hamas would do this. I firmly believe the attack by Hamas was due to Israel’s citizens praying at the Temple Mount also known as “Al-Aqsa Mosque”

https://forward.com/culture/563479/hamas-al-aqsa-flood-israel-gaza-attack-2023/?amp=1

To many in the world the Temple Mount should be a place of worship for everyone. For Hamas and other Muslims the “Al-Aqsa Mosque” is for worship by Muslims only and any other worship is sacrilege. When Israel’s citizens prayed on the holy days that resulted in increased tensions with Hamas enough to begin war.

It was an unexpectedly severe reaction by Hamas. There was no previous intelligence. It was spontaneous. The failure in knowing is only to expect such a severe reaction. Such a response was not anticipated. 

People were praying. Praying. That deserved this?
