Israeli Intelligence

[hntnhole]

First though, good riddance to the clown from NY.  Interestingly, he wore his overcoat draped over his shoulders (BatQueen-like) as the vote was taken; he wanted to make his get-away as quickly as possible, I suppose.

So it turns out that Israeli Intelligence had pertinent, detailed information regarding the Oct attack by Hamas on Israel for at least a year prior October '23. 

More, the Prime Minister of Israel has denied that he was informed of this intelligence.  Does this pass the "sniff-test"?  Of course not.  It's emblematic of a calcified General Staff within the IDF, as well as a bloviating Prime Minister.  Remember:  his previous crises was the attempt to interfere with the Judiciary, for which he was forced to back off.  The assumption that Hamas was simply incapable of such an attack, as well as keeping the year-long intelligence a secret from the PM (which is hardly believable), is as damning as the resumption of the destruction of Palestinian infrastructure and the resultant deaths of innocents. 

These people in the Israeli Government are nothing but apparatchiks, solemnly intoning that they aren't at fault - just like government apparatchiks all over the world.  Yes, they happen to be Jewish, but are not emblematic of "The Jews" everywhere.  There are fresh reports (up 3x in a month*) of hate attacks against Jewish folks in NY, perhaps less-so in other metro areas, perhaps not.  

This anti-Jews behavior makes no sense whatsoever.  It's not "The Jews" that are behaving in such a caustic, destructive way in Gaza.  It's the Israeli's, the nationalists, who also happen to be Jewish.  What the Israeli's are doing to the remnants of Gaza is simply inexcusable.  It is not supported by the majority of the Israeli general population.  It is an act of the Israeli Government, based on ignorance, self-aggrandizement, and evading responsibility.   

Today, some drones approaching commercial ships loaded with humanitarian supplies for the surviving, displaced Palestinians were shot down by US naval forces in the area.  The US has armed forces in a number of area States, generally small in number.  The chances are increasing that a general war could break out, and it's thanks to President Biden (and his Administration) that hasn't happened so far.  Domestically, we're engulfed in our own divisive issues.  The President however, (and his Administration) has responsibility for the US involvement everywhere in the world, as well as our domestic issues. 

Progressive Government is good Government.  Repressive Government, as promised in every word out Trumpanzee's** ignorant mouth is not good Government.

Check the writings of a guy named Thom Hartmann. He’s commented on Trump’s meeting with Lavrov in 2017, where certain intelligence was overtly handed over.
