Give it time, the news is just over 24-hrs old. I wouldn't hold my breath though, the barbarity that Hamas committed on Oct 7, should've elicited wide-spread condemnation and outrage across the feminist world, instead we got lots of explaining and false equivocating. The fact that these were state's Guardsman should give the public something to think about...why are they being used instead of active duty soldier?

Jordan drone attack: 3 Georgia soldiers killed in Tower 22 strike

quote:

The soldiers who died were Sgt. William Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Ga., Specialist Kennedy Sanders, 24, of Waycross, Ga., and Specialist Breonna Moffett, 23, of Savannah, Ga. All three Army Reserve soldiers were assigned to the 718th Engineer Company, 926th Engineer Battalion, 926th Engineer Brigade, Fort Moore, Ga.

Reserve not guard, but the reality is active duty has been spread thin for decades. In many situations ( like when I was in Iraq 04-05) reserve component ( national guard and reserve) troops outnumber active duty troops on the ground. When you go in the guard reserve theses days ( again really since 9/11) the realistic expectation is to be deployed every 3-5 years. Many guys that were young E3/4 when I went to Iraq are now senior NCO’s that in a lot of cases, have five or more deployments. And female troops are making up a larger percentage of our forces than ever before. In a lot of cases, even traditional male combat units are open to female soldiers. Disregarding that, there are a ton of traditional female role combat support positions that would still result in deployment. I don’t recall the ration, but for example it may be as high as 25 support soldiers for every combat arms soldier

Does anyone have the statistics that break out those killed in Peral Harbor by the following:

Service Members
White males
White Females
Black Males
Black Females
Native American Males
Native American Females
Latino/Hispanic Males
Latino/Hispanic Females
Hawaiian Males
Hawaiian Females

Other, Male/Female

Then same as above, Civilian.




All my life, hearing the history of 7 December 1941, none of that mattered, nor has it ever in my life.

The distance of 7 Dec 1941, to my realizing it in my life was equal to the time of Obama becoming President until today, and the "fundamental change", he promised. The effects of Pearl, and the war were real to me, seeing and knowing those who got a face full of it.

So no need for the useless and meaningless query above.


No one focused on any divisive bullshit on the evening of 7 December 1941, but all , as a unified nation, felt as much attacked as any individual or family could, and we stepped up to make it known to the world, that we were not having any more of it.


And we did not stop until the thing was done.

We can do little, or Doolittle, but we do not have the luxury of doing nothing.

The potus and congress and federal bureaucrats saw these problems coming a while ago - Russia, China, and the Middle East - purposely ignoring effective actions. I might make an exception for crazy uncle joe, he couldn't see a freight train coming if he was fishing from a bride on the tracks.

Agree 100% ! When I did my time in Iraq then Afghanistan I was a member of an AMERICAN team. This included black white asian Native American Hispanic etc. we all bleed the same. My unit in Iraq lost 19 killed and 80+ wounded out of 600 so 1/6 of all our troops were killed or combat wounded. I went to far too many memorial services for my comrades. I broke down at one of them ,and probably more. Didn’t matter the ethnic or gender breakdown. All Americans all patriots dying for what they believed in. We need to stop providing a target rich environment for our enemies. Identify threat, ruthlessly destroy then gtfo this forever occupation nation building stuff is total BS

https://www.breitbart.com/midd...f-palestinian-state/

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reportedly asked the State Department to review options for a unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state at the end of the war between Hamas and Israel — a major break from past U.S. policy, and from Israel.

Barak Ravid of Axios reported:

While U.S. officials say there has been no policy change, the fact the State Department is even considering such options signals a shift in thinking within the Biden administration on possible Palestinian statehood recognition, which is highly sensitive both internationally and domestically.

For decades, U.S. policy has been to oppose the recognition of Palestine as a state both bilaterally and in UN institutions and to stress Palestinian statehood should only be achieved through direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The story — almost certainly leaked deliberately from the State Department — comes as Blinken prepares to visit Israel for the fifth time since the Hamas terror attack on October 7 launched the war.

Though Blinken has expressed sympathy for the Israeli people, he has also tried to restrict Israel’s military response, and has lately become adamant about forcing Israel to accept a Palestinian state, which would be a major win for Hamas, which would achieve that outcome after the mass murder of civilians.

Blinken has even blamed Israelis for being intransigent on a Palestinian state. The truth is that nearly two-thirds of Israelis had supported such a state in 2012 — but now nearly two-thirds oppose one, because of the way Hamas turned Gaza into a terror base.

The Biden administration pursued a Palestinian state since before October 7, even reportedly blocking a Saudi-Israeli peace deal because of the administration’s insistence that it include a Palestinian state, whether the Palestinians are ready for one or not.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has adamantly opposed a Palestinian state as the outcome of the war — and he has begun to rise again in some polls, as Israelis rally behind a leader seen as the only Israeli politician who can stand up to the U.S.

Same here when the Luftwaffe blitzed London, killing over 43,000 civilians, and again in the last year of the war, when V-weapons killed around 6000 more. And that was just London.

However, it's a fact that in those days, there were only around 14,000 TOTAL black people living in UK.

Biden Sanctions Israeli Settlers in West Bank

quote:

President Joe Biden issued an executive order on Thursday that aims to punish Jewish settlers who attack Palestinians in the occupied West Bank following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel.

Biden's order establishes a system for imposing financial sanctions and visa restrictions against individuals who are found to have attacked or intimidated Palestinians or seized their property, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement.

"Today’s actions seek to promote peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike," Sullivan said.

United Nations figures show that daily settler attacks have more than doubled in the nearly four months since the Hamas attack and Israel's ensuing assault on the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.

Biden's action was first reported by Politico.

https://hotair.com/ed-morrisse...-khan-younis-n608986

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced on Thursday night that Hamas forces in Khan Yunis have been officially defeated.

He said that after additional gains by the IDF in Khan Yunis, 10,000 Hamas fighters have been killed and 10,000 wounded, up from around 9,000 killed and around 8,000 wounded around a week and a half ago. …

Gallant’s statement that the IDF has completed taking apart Hamas’s remaining battalions in Khan Yunis, including in the western part of the terror group’s southern Gaza capital, would also seem to be a week or a couple of weeks ahead of IDF statements.

“Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade boasted that it would stand against the IDF, it is being dismantled, and I am telling you here, we are completing the mission in Khan Younis and we will also reach Rafah and eliminate everyone there who is a terrorist who is trying to harm us,” says Gallant to troops of the IDF’s 98th Division, during a visit to Khan Younis today. …

Gallant tells the troops that their actions, both above ground and underground in Khan Younis, “brings the return of the hostages closer, because Hamas only understands power.”

Because he is a globalist, and globalists think everybody's business is their business, regardless where they reside. "We are one world, one people," therefore, they have a right to stick their nose anywhere they please. Or, in this case, where it is politically expedient.

We know he's a globalist, or at least works for one.

I think V-Tail (and myself) were looking for an explanation of under just what law an American president can issue edicts that only apply to foreigners in foreign lands that we are not at war with?

I guess whatever non sensical BS falls out of his mouth has to be given it's day in the sun.

Meanwhile Biden was overheard finalizing he latest strategy, while sitting in his basement and repeating over and over:

"All I gotta do, is 'Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, then Start'...."

At this point, the best Palestinians can hope for is the option Israel has fronted- they can keep Gaza (which Israel ceded them in the first place), but there will be the heavily guarded and over-watched 1km no man’s land buffer zone that will make the Korean DMZ resemble a children’s playground. NO MORE Palestinians will set foot inside Israel for work, play, medical attention etc (all of which Israel had no obligations to allow prior to the cowardly attack). No electricity, fuel, or infrastructure (which came from Israel, also prior to the attack).

Despite playing the victim supposedly caught in the middle of all this, they asked for this in one way or another. They have shit the bed in every Arab nation that tried to accommodate them in the past by allowing them to exist within their borders. Even Iran, the power behind Hamas won’t take them in. This is very telling on how the Arab world views them; why should Israel feel any different? And finally, Israel will excise any rocket/mortar/pipe bomb location regardless of where it came from with drone footage proof of said attacks. Either the crooked UN occupies Gaza and prevents Hamas from regaining power, or the world fucks off and accepts Israel’s right to live their lives free of constant imminent attack by whatever means necessary. It will be up Palestine to take back their existence from Hamas/Iran, and the rest of the worlds responsibility to accept those terms.

There should've been a standing ovation after that.
I'd like to think that those students were in shock, witnessing a Jewish person for the first-time refuse to apologize for who they are or, tolerate another person attempting to verbally bully and browbeat them with idiocy.

JINO

These IDIOTS have no concept, clue, idea, notion, or theory of what it is to be TRULY Jewish. Ms. Korchak is correct...these blithering MORONS sit up here on their ivory towers DICTATING what it is to be Jewish when they haven't the foggiest friggin' clue.

Kudos to this lovely lady and God BLESS her!!!

Over 85 Targets Hit In U.S. Retaliation Strikes Against Iranian Proxies, IRGC

quote:

DeirEzzor24 has reported that communications and surveillance equipment, including radars and camera systems, belonging to the Iranian-backed groups and the IRGC partners in Syria were among the things struck by U.S. forces. Various structures, includes ones serving as headquarters, barracks, and materiel warehouses, were also targeted.

This will be an interesting turn of events, if true. I can see Jordan justifying this to their critics as many of these groups out in the hinterlands are state security threats the way ISIS is viewed.

quote:

Jordanian forces are reportedly set to take part in the forthcoming air campaign, according to the Wall Street Journal. This would be an important show of solidarity with the United States from a key regional ally.

This sums up my feelings:

quote:

House Speaker Mike Johnson has condemned the administration of US President Joe Biden of “public handwringing and excessive signaling,” instead of a “clear and forceful response” to the deaths of US soldiers stationed in Jordan.

“Unfortunately, the administration waited for a week and telegraphed to the world, including to Iran, the nature of our response,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), concluding that “America must project strength.”

Biden thinks? The expression “Assumes facts not in evidence” comes to mind.
