President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moved closer to an understanding on Israel’s plans to attack Iran during their phone call on Wednesday, Axios reported on Thursday.
The report, which cited US and Israeli officials, said that the US had accepted Israel is going to launch a major attack on Iran soon and is only concerned that striking certain types of targets could dramatically escalate things. However, Iran has vowed it will respond to any type of Israeli attack, and the situation could easily turn into a full-blown war that would involve the US.
An Israeli official told Axios that the Israeli plans are still a bit more aggressive than the US would like. The US has been warning against striking nuclear facilities or oil infrastructure, and recent media reports have said Israel will likely target military infrastructure.
Netanyahu convened his security cabinet on Thursday to brief them on the situation with the US and is expected to get approval for him and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to set a timeline for the Israeli attack. The Times of Israel reported that the US and Israel will continue conversations on the plans in the coming days, signaling the attack is not imminent.
NBC News reported on Tuesday that the US was considering supporting Israel’s attack with direct airstrikes of its own, although US officials said intelligence support was more likely.
The Jerusalem Post reported that the US was offering Israel a “compensation package” of military aid and full diplomatic support if it only hits US-approved targets in Iran. The US has also committed to defending Israel from any Iranian response.
Iran fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel last week in response to a string of Israeli escalations, including the assassination of Hamas’s political chief, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran. Immediately after the attack, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the US would work with Israel to ensure Iran suffers “severe consequences.”
Hang on, folks, the ride is going to get even bumpier.
Thanks for the warning, Bette.
Most interesting times………………..
Margaret Thatcher is reputed to have said that no one has ever died for a consensus. That might have been true in her time. Likely and sadly, not ever since.
"the attack is not imminent" – did they agree to postpone it until the elections are over? It looks logical. A war with Iran will push oil price up quite drastically which of course helps Trump to win. They can lie anything about what happens abroad but not about the fuel price at gas stations in U.S.
You keep believing that like the rest of the suckers. No one cares about oil prices except the peons who drive themselves.
I am not sure what you are sucking but, obviously, it damages your mental health.
Hack you are such a wanker
Thank you, I appreciate that.
It looks like Trump will win anyway. And Netanyahu supposedly prefers Trump.
So, I'm thinking the attack will happen right before the election, so the jingoism is running rampant. Gets lots of votes.
Wars seem most popular early on, before reality sets in. Then the war is forgotten before the next one.
War with Iran will be sold as quick but will not be such.
More mangled bodies for Tunnel to Towers and Wounded Warriors to plaster all over TV and plead for more money. I am sure young people see the blasted away humans, once service people, now begging for help, and think,,NOT ME MOFU!!!
We checked into the Wounded Warriors fund. We could not believe the salaries of the executives.
Those commercials make me sick. If just once they'd tell us how those poor souls got mangled for no other reason than to feed the pigs at the trough. We're always left to assume they lost their body parts for a noble cause.
But first the MSM has to ramp up to manufacture consent.
Netanyahu got EVERYTHING he wanted from the Kamala-Harris regime including an additional $26 BILLION to carry on and widen his genocidal War.
Meaning? That Trump wouldn't have had done the same?
President Trump didn’t send $26 Billion to Netanyahoo during his 4 years in the White House.
True. Only about $20 billion.
Of course, that’s not accounting for inflation …
When did President Trump send $20 Billion to Israel? Provide us some dates that we can look up to verify your “facts”.
Over the course of 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Look up a chart of US aid to Israel by year, and look up the years he was president.
I’m not talking about the 4 or 5 Billion $$$ in foreign aid the US automatically gives Israel every year. I’m talking about the additional $26 Billion the Kamala-Biden regime and the Uniparty swamp gave Netanyahoo in April to continue the genocidal War.
You’re talking about a guy you couldn’t distinguish from Harris except on personal appearance, is what you’re talking about.
I wish there was a pill I could give you to relieve your Trump Derangement Syndrome.
You’d be better off taking such a pill yourself, since you clearly suffer from the variant of TDS that causes you to believe a standard-issue warmonger politician is something other than what he always has been, is now, and keeps promising to be later.
And he didn't move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, then calling Jerusalem the Capitol of Israel. He also didn't object to Israel annexing the Golan Heights and the West Bank. He also didn't say that Israel should "finish the job" in Gaza.
I repeat, President Trump didn’t okay $26 Billion to be sent over to the Netanyahoo regime during his Presidency like Kamala and Joe have. That $26 BILLION is obviously insurance in the event Trump wins the election. Israel will have plenty of US cash to prosecute the Wars.
If you think Trump wouldn’t ask Congress for MORE money for Israel — and get it — just so he could brag about how no one’s as pro-Israel as him, that thing you’re doing that you think is thinking isn’t.
Neither did Clinton or Obama. They aren't presently the president either. But given their backing of Israel, I would imagine you would think they also would have approved of that $26 billion. Now, given Trump's backing of Israel, which by any standard was far greater than Clinton or Obama, why would you think Trump would be different? He certainly hasn't given any indication with his rhetoric.
So do you think Nikki Haley or Jeb! Bush or Ron DeSantis or Ted Cruz etc. would be a better GOP nominee than Donald “America First” Trump ?
Wasn't what I asked. Trump has said he would give Israel what they need to get the job done. And he chastised Biden/Harris for not being sufficiently loyal to Israel and telling Jews in this country that Israel will be destroyed if Harris is elected. And based on his over the top gifting of Israel in his first term, for the life of me I can't understand why you would think he'll be any different in his second term. And please don't tell me about Trump not going to Israel. Netanyahu will gladly kiss Trump's ass for that same kind of money Biden/Harris provided because he knows how to play Trump. Everyone does.
Maybe Trump is devoted to Zionist project because:
1. He can't imagine how he would be able to make America great again without help of American financial elite which is pro-Zionist.
2. Even if he wins the elections, he wouldn't be able to retain the job without support of "Zionist lobby".
You need the support of someone. Interestingly, the husband of one of his daughters is Arab/Lebanese.
Yes Trump would and I believe will do so happily. 🙂 Bring it!
Trump once elected, if he is, will not need money to run another election so we may all be very surprised if he puts the boot to the Israel blood lust against Gaza and Lebanon. Trump/Vance 2024. Tulsi 2028.
Yes, I for one will be very surprised but I have a feeling I won't have to worry about that happening. Netanyahu is not averse to snuggling his nose up Trump's ass and that's all Trump cares about.
The Deep State is concerned with neither Trump nor Harris. They are talking heads without power to do anything.
Dominance of the Near East is a prime objective of the Deep State. Israel is used as a "cats paw" to assist in that dominance factor.
We are no better than the Wehrmacht.
You’re right — he won’t need money to run another election. Without that to restrain him at all, he’ll be freer to grift away and keep all the money for his real estate scams, etc.
Thomas, come on now! Shame on you, he did not even accept pay in his first term and actually lost some billion $ in those 4 years.
You know better than to make such claims.
Why shame on me? I’m not the one who conned you.
Thomas,,STOP IT!!! 🙂
Your desire to believe the scams you’ve been sold creates no obligation on my part to pretend that you aren’t falling for them.
Thomas, today politics is all scam, USA is about scamming one another, it has degenerated to a pathetic point. I don’t want a choice between Trump and kamalala, but after doing due diligence Trump will protect my B.O.R. and Constitution far better than the other choice! I am also not willing to throw away my vote on a 3rd party like I believe you are about to do, Thomas, you just be you. 🙂
I already cast my vote. It won’t make any more difference than your vote will, but I didn’t feel the need to shower with an steel-bristle brush afterward.
Trump 2024, Tulsi/ViVek 2028!!
Why do you hate America so much?
Thomas, I think one proof of a person that hates the USA is that they would support open USA borders and allow anyone to just walk in, in fact even encourage it. “hate America”,,I live in the USA, not “America”, I hope you understand the difference. 🙂
Yes, I understand the difference. The USA is a regime. America is a place and an idea. I live in the latter and only acknowledge the former to the extent I’m forced to.
Supporting open USA borders is pro-freedom, pro-America, and anti-regime. And it’s not like the disgraced former president and the empty pantsuit are easy to distinguish from each other on that issue anyway. If anything, Harris would likely be more anti-immigration-freedom than Trump was, which is to say more like Obama and Biden were.
Thank you for confirming my suspicions.
Are you kidding me? Kamala is married to Doug Emhoff for goodness sakes!
I believe they used Venezuela to refill the strategic reserve (and then re-imposed the sanctions). So Biden used it before after Nordstream destruction, successfully for the domestic market, and very profitably for Wall St.
The September 30 oil buy for the SPR came from Exxon Mobil, Shell, and Macquarie. The companies buying Venezuelan crude are Chevron, Gunvor, and Trafigura. The availability of sour crude from Venezuela may have had a slight downward effect on global oil prices, including SPR buys, but not much. PDVSA (Venezuela’s state oil company) said it was only going to increase output by 200,000 barrels per day. The US alone consumes 97.3 million barrels per day.
…The US alone consumes 97.3 million barrels per day.….
Might want to double check that 😋
Not sure how I got from 18.7 million barrels per day to 97.3 million. Good catch.
Otherwise your data is spot on. Think the 97 is global consumption from a few years ago.
Virtually this entire report is bullshit:
"The US has been warning against striking nuclear facilities or oil infrastructure"
Bullshit. No one cares about Iran's energy program and no one cares about oil prices, either – except the oil companies who will see them shoot into the stratosphere and give them windfall profits for years during the war.
"the US and Israel will continue conversations on the plans in the coming days"
Which means the US needs time to move its assets in support of the strike and to continue coordinating its participation in the strike and advising Israel how to do it – same as it does in Ukraine.
"US was offering Israel a “compensation package” of military aid and full diplomatic support if it only hits US-approved targets"
Bullshit. The US couldn't care less what Israel hits – or with what, including nukes, probably.
3 power plants
2 refineries
1 chemical complex
Watch that space
"No one cares about Iran's energy program"
True – but oil companies DO care about who gets to extract the oil under Iranian soil.
"and no one cares about oil prices, either"
False – an increase in oil prices (or a "supply chain disruption") is ALWAYS a great excuse for every loyal capitalist business of any size to a) jack up prices claiming "increases in overhead" and b) blame "rising minimum wage" and "high fuel costs" for their naked greed.
Apparently the "supply chain issues" and fuel costs "because of Russia's war" are why a medium soda (cost of 4 cents) and two sides of fries (a potato, maybe 75 cents) at McDonald's has to cost me CDN$12.75.
That and a local pizza house that raises the price of everything by $0.50-2.00 literally every time they print a new batch of menus – 3-4x a year.
Energy costs are directly correlated to inflation, which is directly correlated to corporate business greed, which disproportionately affects the middle and low income earners.
You're right – I forgot to mention the price gougers.
And since I like pizza, yeah, I've seen that even ordering two medium 3-topping pizzas – which on Domino's two for one deal are around $13-15 – if you add on extra ham and pepperoni you end up paying $30.
And for me, I have to get Gluten Free crust do THAT’S an extra $4. None of which goes to Big Wheat, thankfully, ha ha !!
Lol….
Tossed Dominoes a long time ago. Terrible Pizza.
Labour cost is big in fast food. No one wants to pay the workers who sometimes live in public housing or with some other government assistance though working full time.
Don't buy the Pazza!!!
Thankfully, we let Iran know this could be a possibility. Iran listened.
Have a nice day, in peace, not war!…
"An Israeli official told Axios that the Israeli plans are still a bit more aggressive than the US would like." I don't believe it. Blinken is Netanyahu. Centcom's Commander is in Israel already.
Who is the most war-mongering?
The one who drops the bombs or the one who finances the bombing!
"Can't it be both ?"
Or the citizens who pay the taxes to fund the financing?
Or the workers who build parts for the weapons?
I'm down with your take. Fortunately as an anarchist I don't pay taxes. Or work, being retired.
And I definitely don't vote for the people who do any of that.
Not that simple, Richard. Soc Sec is mainly invested in US Treas, and Private/Union/IRA 's, in everything … emphatically Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed, Northrup Grumman, General Dynamics, …. profiteering is as bad or worse. They've got us all. "Universal soldiers and we really are to blame."
/.
"anarchist",,Hmmmm…
Or maybe you don't have enough income that you don't have to pay taxes. But please tell us how you avoid jail if you are required to pay taxes. Is there an anarchist box you can check that makes you exempt? And do you pay property taxes? Sales tax? Or do you just tell them you're an anarchist?
There are tens of millions of Americans legally required to file and in some cases net-owe taxes who simply don't, and you might be surprised that in many cases this can go on for decades with no repercussions. Mostly this happens with (again tens of millions!) of people who get trapped in the gig economy, do a lot of job and address bouncing, live informally in a relative's basement, have a stretch of homelessness and/or addiction and otherwise lack traditional middle class stability, usually imposed upon them and sometimes by choice.
A very tiny % of people set out to live this way in order specifically to dodge (mostly war) taxation, and I can even recall a few books published from the Vietnam era up through at least the 90s on war tax avoidance with practical tips. For a lot of people, life is coming at them too fast and hard to file, and they know that having been paid as independent contractors/informally that they're not getting that EITC anyway, in fact they'll owe. Some people miss a year and figure they'll get back on track 'when things stabilize' then it's 11 years later and non-filing just becomes a habit. I believe the EITC exists in part to keep people with marginal income from habitual failure to report. Incomes have been poor enough for a large chunk of the public that many families would otherwise be pushed beyond the tipping point of compliance without the EITC by simple short term self-preservation.
If you have a mortgage, two kids and the same employer for 15 years, you are probably going to get caught in IRS gears at some point… although this too could take a surprisingly long time, a reason for budget proposals for massive numbers of new IRS employees. If that's not a description of your life, probably not. If in our wildest dreams a decent % of the stable people also said "Enough, I'm actively not filing any longer until we reign in the Pentagon." I don't see as a practical matter how DC could do anything about it.
Both. The purpose the same; dominate the Near East oil.
well, thank goodness … I was worried these guys would never kiss and make up …
Uncle Sam has been welcomed into that select Israeli club, Murder incorporated.
Great song by Springsteen.
I may be the other way around.
And Joe was just "livid" a couple weeks ago. Nothing like setting off a major regional war to get that friendship going again. And by now, Joe doesn't remember what he was livid about. Gaza something…?
I think he was served the wrong flavor ice cream maybe …
He likes a Gaza Shake…
Terrible pun!…
"Livid", "concerned", but lets keep the flow of money and weapons.
We will not stop. Israel is our "cats paw" as Micheel Hudson describes the relationship. We want to control the Near East and Israel is our foreign legion to enable that.
Just as ISIS, al-Queda were/are.
From Scheerpost: https://scheerpost.com/2024/10/08/michael-hudson-and-richard-wolff-middle-east-exploding-ukraine-crumbling-us-take-action/
The only thing that matters is when and how much Israel gets hit back. This will go on until Israel is hurt badly enough to force it to stop.
Just get that over with, as the only way to stop the killing rampage by the genocidal barbarians in Israel.
I feel your anger Mark but, anger keeps us from peace, a true and lasting one… Breathe deep and exhale. We are in for a bit of a long haul….
In our rule book, the "good guys" get to hit first and last.
finally we can eliminate the scummy iranian regime
but it is a shame its being done by a warmongering openly genocidal apartheid state
Maybe you should try finding Christ, Mr. Christian…
Boring and redundant…
"moved closer to an understanding on Israel’s plans to attack Iran "
More BS.
"is only concerned that striking certain types of targets could dramatically escalate things. "

It is safe to assume that any such statements coming out of either Israel or Washington reflect the exact opposite of what is actually happening.

Ordinarily, with War raging in the Middle East we'd all be paying through the nose at the gas pump, but for some reason gas prices have been plunging over the past couple weeks. You think the lower gas prices might have something to do with the election?
Folks are just naturally exuberant. ;-/
Gas prices almost always go down in the autumn due to demand slacking off after summer travel. The price of oil spikes briefly whenever something big happens or seems about to happen in the Middle East, then falls back down when it turns out that none of the major oil producers are, or seem likely to be, affected.
You’ve got an answer for everything don’t you Tommy?
No, not everything. But I do tend to base my opinions on the facts rather than whatever I wish was true.
Our gasoline prices went up by 40 cents a gallon within the past week. Color me skeptical of your reply.
So did ours — and in fact I went to two different stations today looking for premium and couldn’t find any.
Of course, two major hurricanes in two weeks and the attendant local supply disruptions and mass gas runs by evacuees probably have more to do with that than affairs in the Middle East.
Yes, the hurricanes may have something to do with gas prices rising in your area.
Gas prices spike when there are travel holidays.
Wouldn't be surprised if the oil companies have a preference, although I don't know which one that would be. Probably don't like Trump since he's not what you'd call a "real businessman" – just a real estate hustler. 🙂
Yes, but for who? Which candidate?
The incumbent party of course.

Any offensive action by the U.S. against Iran would be unconstitutional without a Congressional Declaration of War.
http://theamericanconservative.com
Congress MIA on Possible U.S. War with Iran
Experts: They lack the guts to invoke war powers, and are out of town through election anyway.
Israel has surprisingly not yet performed its retaliating strike on Iran and its collaboration with US reveals some facts:
1. It is of course US election year and west Asia events cannot be excluded and unrelated to its outcome even though US public could not comprehend its correlation…!
2. Israel for its self-image and PR has to strike Iran otherwise, it would appear weak in world stage and among its citizens…!
3. Striking Iran’s oil facilities would jump the oil and gas prices particularly for US consumers, not to mention that the potential closure of Strait of Hormuz which would be advantages to Trump.
4. Striking Iran’s Nuclear facilities with Israel’s favorites, bunker buster bombs, would require Israel jets to be pretty much above the facilities. Given Iran air defense capabilities this would be extremely difficult for Israel…! Unless Israel wants to fire missiles from its jets 100s of miles away or from Israeli soil which would reduce the strike effectiveness…!
5. This would leave Israel to perform a covert operation, or a major attack on military bases, power stations and oil/gas pipelines which Iran has wowed to respond in kind…!
6. The compensation by US and continuation of talks with Israel obviously is playing a role on the timing of this Israeli strike possibly delaying it to the post-election…!
BTW- Israeli war cabinet met on Thursday and no decision was made…!
So it was reported. It will be a happening.

Russia Sells Processed Oil Products To Israel & Facilitates Kazakhstan’s Oil Exports To It
Most site posters had some knowledge, but the article provides context.
When Israel unleashes a conventional and nuclear missile barrage on Iran, to whom will Russia support in retaliation? Israel doesn't want fence-sitting allies.
Just read the piece. He points out that Russia is still selling oil to the EU and that Russia does not want the energy market politicized.
That is quite different from allowing a major ally – Iran – to be nuked by Israel.
I have always said that it is unlikely that Russia will directly involve itself in the Israel-Iran conflict unless Iran is at existential risk (which is unlikely to occur in conventional warfare terms) – or Israel resorts to using nuclear weapons against Iran – in which event I fully expect Russia to intervene directly.
No country will assist an ally to the point of an existential threat to itself. That should be obvious.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/5/what-russia-wants-from-israel-iran-escalation-chaos-good-war-bad
I read the headline and dismissed the rest:
"Russia is dependent on Iran for military support in Ukraine"
Bullshit. Russia is happy to trade with Iran, missiles and drones for S-400, but that doesn't mean Russia is in any way "dependent" on Iran.
Russia does have a problem with Israel: the 1.5+ million Russian citizens living there. Putin can't start a war over the Donbass Russians while ignoring those Russians in Israel. He has to tread carefully with Israel. Nonetheless, it's very clear that Russia fully supports Iran as an ally.
As I and Martyanov have said, Russia won't fight the Arabs' (or Persians') wars for them, but is happy to help when Russian interests are involved, as they are in Syria and Iran – but not in Lebanon. So Hezbollah can't count any Russian largesse – although whatever Russia gives Iran is likely to wind up in Lebanon, too.
Although even in Lebanon, Russia previously offered a military assistance treaty with Lebanon which offered advisers, invitations to Russia military exercises, preferred customer status, etc. The Lebanese government chose to go with the US. Bet they regret that now.
My concern is business as usual despite Israel's genocide
Which one will stand behind the other while they "confer"? Or will they face off, as it were.
New Russia-Iran treaty will be turning point in their relations — IRNA
"DUBAI, October 12. /TASS/. The conclusion of a treaty on a comprehensive strategic partnership between Russia and Iran will be an important milestone in relations between the two countries, IRNA agency reported commenting on the meeting between Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ashgabat.
The agreement will not only be a base for bilateral cooperation, but also "a model for regional and international cooperation", the agency said. The signing of the document "will open new horizons for the countries in various fields, including energy, transport, industry, agriculture, science and technology, and defense cooperation".
The Putin-Pezeshkian talks took place "at a time when NATO is continuing its attempts to expand in Eastern Europe" and Israel "is committing genocide in Gaza and wants to expand the scope of the crisis" beyond the Middle East, IRNA said.
In according to the statement, "cooperation between Iran and Russia in confronting unipolarity can help create a more just world order". The agency cites the creation of a financial system independent of the US dollar, countering sanctions, cooperation in BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the Eurasian Economic Union as mechanisms for strengthening cooperation.
Negotiations between the presidents of Russia and Iran took place in Ashgabat on 11 October. Pezeshkian said that Tehran hoped to sign a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement with Moscow at the BRICS summit in Kazan on October 22-24. Putin approved the draft agreement on September 18. On October 4, the Islamic Republic's ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali said the document was ready for signing.
The BRICS was founded in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, with South Africa joining in 2011. On January 1, 2024, Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Ethiopia will become full members of the group. This year, Russia holds the presidency. The main event for BRICS in 2024 will be the summit in Kazan. Putin noted that he has scheduled a bilateral meeting with Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the summit."

Touché ole!
All must be right with the world. Just caught Reuters on tv and no mention of war at all, not even a headline. Business as per usual.
Just mentioned it now for a few seconds…
Set the TIMELINE…? Doesn't sound surprising as Gallant claimed yesterday…!
It sounds like Israel is stuck in mud and | or Iran's deterrence is working…!
It is US election time, that requires some obfuscating political talk.
Compensation package = Bribe package. American taxpayer money being used in a high stakes poker game which it can never win
after the election they will lift the curtain and we will be faced with the truth, all bipartisan. Trump and Harris are equally criminal as Biden is and all the little Eichmanns sitting behind their Lap Tops organizing the criminal actions.
The Times of Israel reported that the US and Israel will continue conversations on the plans in the coming days, signaling the attack is not imminent.
Shouldn't someone from theTimes of Israel be arrested?
The USA and other NATO member democracies are being governed by criminal deranged elements. They can't deal with a hurricane but are in charge of nuclear weapons.
That is scary, all we can do is talk or hold our breath and hope it will pass soon.
My point was the Israeli newspaper was giving out information to the enemy. Why no arrests?
The paper followed the governments narrative, I think, they did gaslighting for them. Morally bankrupt government is why no arrests. I could be wrong?
Good questions, yes indeed!
If the USA directly strikes Iran Russia will also make a very big move, China may also. USA wants war so bad and as I have said before, I strongly believe USA has finally back engineered crashed UAP/UFO and has militarized them and wants badly to put them in action before Russia and China does the same. DC is the seat of all evil against other countries it wants to rob, and indeed its own citizens. Purge the DC Ghouls before it is too late.
Deranged criminal elements are in charge in most western democracies for decades, we never knew how bad and deep until now and they are coming out of hiding.
Biden leans forward, and ……. There is Consensus!!!
Joey Biden does not know what planet he is on so we are in danger of extinction before he leaves office in January.
Harris will like Biden continue a policy of alienating the world.
Behind the scenes obama takes orders and directs whoever is in the White House.
Iran and Russia are about to sign a mutual defense treaty. The Arab world is united in their rage. Over half of the world is joining BRICS.
Joey Biden and obama did that.
On Yom Kippur, Jews in Israel are caught on video swaying to reading their prayer book, safe, secure, enjoying life. Some are carrying weapons over their shoulder. A lovely view, far, far away from the ruins in Gaza and Lebanon.
It is not unlike the towns with German citizens enjoying life, not concerning, intuiting what was going on in the camps near them.
All of the years of occupation, killing of Palestinian children means is of no concern to them. Learning to hate early in life (as Miko Peled has written of in his books), It was a shock to the system, their world, when the oppressed fought back.
Snakes, vipers are how Israeli Jews view Palestinians. Even Palestinians children. So what if a Israeli sniper shoots a Palestinian child in the head. So what if Dr. Perlmutter, a Jew, a doctor, who had volunteered to administer aid in Gaza had never before held a baby's brain in his hands until Gaza.
After all, it is Yom Kippur.
”Send lawyers, guns and money, the sh-t has hit the fan!”….
Yet, thankfully many are aware, even the perpetrators.
“Make love, NOT war!”
”Let there be Peace on Earth! And let it begin with me! With every step We take, a Peace for eternity!…”
Donna, with what we have called government no praying and no hoping will change a thing. to make bad things worse is the reality that we have no people big enough to change anything.
I doubt the candidates reading comprehension is above 4th grade level, and they have no integrity either. They are just opportunistic politicians. (to put it mildly)
Totally relate Lysistrata!
Healthy cynicism!
If Netanyahu and Biden attack Iran; Iran then can claim "self-defense" and legally build nuclear bombs.
”Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven’s door! Knock, knock knocking, on Heaven’s door!”
