Well, tonight will be the night most of us turn our clocks back, if we still have any clocks that don't turn back automatically. What do you think of the man inside the clock adjusting the time above? Here is another guy in action in a similar clock outside Paddington Station.

There have been some development in the past few weeks that have made me wonder what time it is in a different sense. Steven Hayward has put up his American Kristallnacht edition of the Powerline Week in Pictures.

Why did the Hamas attack catch Israel by surprise?

A different concept of death

An interview with author and intellectual Paul Berman about Hamas's ideology and Western blindness.

Editor's note: The following interview was originally published in German translation by Swiss daily newspaper Neue Zurcher Zeitung on October 24th. . .

The interview was conducted by Andreas Scheiner.

Some excerpts:

PB: The Israelis thought they had introduced a kind of language to communicate with Hamas. Hamas commits a terrible act and the Israelis retaliate. They know they can bomb this or that, but not more because that would break the implicit deal. For some years, the Israelis thought that Hamas had entered into this comparatively uncomplicated form of war.
AS: The Israelis became careless?
PB: Yes, even Netanyahu, who always presented himself as the sophisticated realist who, unlike the naive liberals, understands the fundamentalism of the movements that attack Israel. But he turned out to be the same kind of naive fool that he used to rail against.
AS: He forgot that Hamas has a different concept of death?
PB: You see, Hitler also had a different concept of death. Hitler didn't want to force his enemies, who were the Jews, into an agreement; he wanted to exterminate his enemies. In the end, he and the top leaders of the Nazi party committed suicide. So, he wanted his enemies to die, and if they didn't die, he wanted himself and his entourage to die. Which is not so far from the Hamas idea. Hamas has learned quite a bit from the Nazi idea.
AS: You need to explain that.
PB: Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood emerged in the 1930s as an Islamic fundamentalist renewal movement, but it became a mass movement by absorbing a number of European ideas. Mussolini and Hitler wanted to "cleanse" society by resurrecting the Roman Empire in some kind of modern version. Hassan al-Banna was the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, and he entertained a similar cleansing fantasy, only, in his case, he wanted to revive the Islamic empire of the Prophet Mohammed.

Well, to me, this makes the behavior of students on some of our campuses more worrisome. Do any of them have a "cleansing fantasy"? "By Any Means Necessary"? Why is there a worldwide antisemitism surge?

The two Hamas Charters

Helen Dale regularly challenges institutional preconceptions. Here is a book review which describes some ways she has done this in the past, in reference to grievance studies. Anyway, she decided to look into differences between the two editions of the Hamas Charter in a Twitter thread, and some other folks joined in. Also refer to the interview above concerning how the Muslim Brotherhood has absorbed some European ideas.

The 2017 Hamas Charter is the wildest mashup of Islam and decolonisation/postcolonial theory, worth reading if nothing else to show the extent to which people can get high on their own supply.
In this context, be aware that (unlike Christianity), Islam has no doctrine of original sin, which means the sort of whiny "poor me + pity the victims/oppressed" arguments that fly in Christianity and Christian-derived intellectual movements (Wokery is one) don't really work in combination with it.
The Koran places the onus on individuals for their actions, regardless of their group affiliation or whether they are oppressed or not. Q74:38: "Every soul is a pledge for what it has earned"; Q53:38: "No burdened person shall bear the burden of another".

That's the revised (2017) charter, designed to be more palatable to potential 'progressive' allies.
The original 1988 version is a nasty piece of work.

The 1988 version is framed and argued using conventional Islamic doctrines, yes. Those doctrines are at least relatively stable. Islam is 1400 years old; its internal cleavages and disputes are readily available to anyone who's curious.
In my view, the 2017 version is dangerous precisely because it's designed to drag in Western support, even if theological absurdity is a byproduct.

The American Front

An American friend asked me yesterday where I thought our greatest dangers lie. Getting bogged down in Gaza? The northern front, facing Hezbollah and the Iranian militias in Syria? The soon-to-be nuclear Iran? Another intifada in Judea and Samaria? Violent riots by Arab citizens of Israel?
None of those, I said. The greatest danger facing Israel today is from the Americans.
My friend was surprised. How is that possible? President Biden expressed his full support for Israel, and is supplying us with weapons and ammunition, and has sent significant naval forces to our region. He threatened Iran against intervening. Congress just overwhelmingly passed a resolution of support for Israel. What more do I want?
So I explained that the problem with America is the same problem that we had here in Israel until October 7. It is the conseptzia, the stubborn resistance to the reality that is behind the conflict that has been going on for at least a century, and of which the butchery on Simchat Torah was just the most recent flareup.

You can read the particulars of the resistance to reality and some interesting history at the link. Here are some of the author's conclusions:

. . . To be Palestinian is to suffer from the nakba, and to dream of reversing and avenging it.
During the 1960s, the Soviets encouraged Palestinian nationalism, adding to it some spices of Marxism-Leninism, and presenting the Palestinians to the world as an oppressed third-world people fighting a war of national liberation against European colonialism. Later we had the "Zionism is racism" resolution in the execrable UN, followed by the 2001 anti-racism summit in Durban, South Africa, which emphasized this theme (despite its complete inapplicability to the conflict), leading to today's accusations of "apartheid." Despite all this, which is mostly intended to make Western liberals comfortable with idea of wiping Israel off the map, the Palestinian consciousness still centers on the shame of the nakba.
The honor lost in 1948, and which has continued throughout "the occupation" (to Palestinians this means the period of Jewish sovereignty that began in 1948 ) , can only be recovered by reversing the nakba, bringing back all those who fled in 1948 and their descendants, and establishing Palestinian sovereignty over the land. It is also a religious imperative to restore rule by Muslims. Finally, the shame of what has occurred is so great, that the reversal must be accomplished with great violence. Only if the land runs with blood can the accumulated insults of the last 75 years finally be avenged.

This is Palestinian culture. This is what separates Palestinians from other Arabs and Muslims, many of whom can accept the existence of a Jewish state. With various modifications and different emphasis, this is what every Palestinian child learns in school, whether in a Hamas or UNRWA school in Gaza, or a PA school in Judea/Samaria. It is even to a great degree taught to Arab citizens of Israel in the Israeli Arab educational system. It is what Palestinians hear from their leaders, in their mosques, on the TV and radio, and in their newspapers and social media. It's what Palestinians say in Arabic, and often in English too.
Certainly there are Palestinians for whom economic goals are important; there are secular ones and Christians; and there are those who hate violence and believe in democracy. There is opposition to Hamas in Gaza and to the PA in Judea/Samaria. But the basic ideas are unchallenged - they are pervasive in the culture itself. They are the conventional wisdom, the motherhood and apple pie of Palestinians, and some form of them is accepted by the great majority. Polls consistently show that most Palestinians favor armed resistance against Israel, and elections are almost always won by the most radical candidate. If that isn't enough, Palestinian values are often enforced by men with guns.
So that is why the ultra-violent massacre in the south was cheered by Palestinians everywhere. And that is why the propositions of the conseptzia are false. Honor/shame and religion are at the top of the list of motivators for the Palestinians. Palestinians have consistently chosen violence over statehood, and weapons over economic development. They are not frustrated because they don't have an independent state - they are infuriated because we have one on what they believe is their property. If we give them money for development, they will take it (and skim off plenty from the top for the benefit of their leadership). But the PA will always pay terrorists and their families, and Hamas will not stop building tunnels and rockets.
The Palestinians can't be bought off and they can't be persuaded that it is in their interest to live at peace alongside a Jewish state. The various factions have different strategies and tactics, but their ultimate objective is the same: Israel must disappear.
The Americans are dangerous, because they don't or won't accept this. . .

Gaza was an open-air prison before October 7

Remember that "refugee camp" where Israeli bunker busters collapsed tunnels and caused some dramatic damage and deaths? It was established when the Egyptians controlled Gaza. When the Israelis occupied Gaza, they tried to modernize some of those squalid neighborhoods and were rebuffed.

Gaza is not an "open-air prison" for everyone. Roll the video.

@CBSNews @CBS ever heard of research or background checks of your interviewees? Seriously, what a joke. This Gazan girl lives more of a luxury lifestyle than half of the world�s population. 😳#therealgaza https://t.co/GXUOHEGBBZ

My husband's who's forays into current events typically revolve around the financial markets has even noticed that anti-Semitism is rampant in the US. How far we have fallen and I don't see a cure. Will it progress to fighting in our streets? I don't know, however I see a strong likelihood that it will happen. I never thought that the antifa crap would happen and yet it did. So discouraging. The only bright spot is that this might fracture the progs. How long can they stand up for tlaib without blowback?

11 China advocates Egypt nationalizing Gazites and giving the land to Egypt.

China’s imperial model and the Muslim World

As Zhang, the professor quoted above, observes, China could play a pivotal role in the refugee crisis.
...Egypt should annex Gaza, and resolve the refugee crisis by naturalizing the Gazans.
...
that is something that China, working together with the Gulf States, could solve. China already is deeply engaged in Egypt, building infrastructure and a new high-tech city.

12 I found a very good rundown as to how Israeli defenses failed on Oct 7, very specific. Short version, it was a harsh lesson about overreliance on Tech and an underuse of Humint; and this overreliance on tech led to great overconfidence which Hamas was able to exploit ruthlessly. Also, Hamas understood the Israelis far better than the Israelis understood them, and used that effectively.

Just one example of the devilishly clever strategy Hamas used; Israel had established towers with sensors and automated machine guns along it's border to monitor against any invasion. sounds effective, right? Except every one of these towers was hit either by a drone or an RPG within the first 15 minutes of the attack, and suddenly Israel had a completely unmonitored border. And by the time they reacted to that, Hamas was already on top of them.

The only flaw in this plan is that every time someone asks the Egyptians about this, they say "oh HELL no!!!"

in fact Egypt this week moved a line of M-60 tanks up to back up the Rafah crossing, just to emphasize the "Oh HELL no!" part of their position.

forgotten fact about the Camp David accords - Israel offered to give Gaza back to Egypt along with the Sinai, and Egypt said "how stupid do you think we are? YOU keep it!"

The ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) submitted a permit to the National Park Service for an "End the Siege of Gaza: Free Palestine" rally. The permit says an estimated 26.000-30,000 participants will call for Israel to stop bombing Gaza. Israel's offensive against the predominately Palestinian Gaza Strip began last month following an attack by Hamas militants that killed more than 1,400 people.

According to the permit, a pre-rally will begin at noon on Saturday with speeches and music at Freedom Plaza. The rally itself is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. and go until 4 p.m., when participants will march on streets around the White House and Ellipse.

117 On the threat to Israel being the USA, there's another aspect, which is that the USA, since the end of WWII, as always stopped fighting short of victory. The Korean War ended with status quo ante, but since then it's been to get involved in war and after a while decide to "end the war" without discussion with the enemy, or if there were talks, get bamboozled in them. The only exceptions have been cases against such formidable opponents as Grenada and Panama. If Israel is smart, they need to cozy up with a different sugar daddy than Uncle Sam.

Without looking it up, I thought the Essenes were considered to be somewhat apocalyptic. There's controversy around them these days, having to do with the Dead Sea Scrolls, and questions as to whether Jesus was indeed, an Essene.

I'm sure there are some here who know way more than I do about all that.

...Egypt should annex Gaza, and resolve the refugee crisis by naturalizing the Gazans.

that is something that China, working together with the Gulf States, could solve. China already is deeply engaged in Egypt, building infrastructure and a new high-tech city.

The history of "railroad time" which became standard time zones and Greenwich Mean Time and all that is long and interesting.

There were a number of train wrecks, with people getting killed cause by different trains having their clocks set to different times. The railroads quickly realized they needed to synchronize their clocks to a uniform standard, and do that well. They invented ways to sync clocks over the telegraph, an early precursor of NTP you might say.

Now, you still had local mean times to deal with. There was the equivalent of hundreds of (smoothly varying with longitude) "time zones" across the country...

152 Computing local apparent noon is important, but the synchronization with GMT is the basis of deriving longitude. You can't really blame railroads for that.

The railroads might have to publish a couple dozen schedules converting their uniform "railroad time" to local times at large stations in major cities and so forth.

The came the imposition of the tyranny of railroad time (as those who were opposed at the time called it) to do away with all that.

The notion of time zone had to be done because you wanted your standard time to be reasonably close the solar time for everybody.

A little known factoid is that all the railroads originally ran north-south so the old way of setting time worked fine. Then the civil war occurred with all its unpleasantness so it was decided then that it was better to run the railroads east-west. And the need for time zones followed that.

He is the modern Machiavelli, having formed the world in his image, and corrupted the soul of this nation beyond repair.

Of the great evils of the 20th century, Kissinger ranks right up there with the usual suspects.

210 175 I just did a quick check, it appears U.S. population under 15 is about 18%.

So for Gazans it's half? Yeah, not buying it.
Posted by: BurtTC

That is pretty high. Kosovo was renowned for its young population, and it wasn't that high. Google says: Kosovo has one of the youngest populations in Europe, with over 40% of its population under 25 years old.

On the other hand, Kosovo has a growing educated female population and workforce, and lots of young people that leave for work and school. Gaza has much less of that...women are treated very "traditionally"...marry young, stay home, and have kids. And older people die fighting, or due to poor medical facilities.

“I ask you who was the first Palestinian King, what [unique] language do they have, was there ever a Palestinian coin. Is there a Palestinian history or culture? There isn’t. There is no such thing as a Palestinian nation.

The Palestinians, he said, are regional Arabs who arrived in the Land of Israel at the same of the first major waves of immigration at the end of the 19th century.

When the biblical prophecies were brought to fruition with the return of the Jews to their land, there were Arabs that did not like this, Smotrich said.

I saw a discussion recently, about the lie being told showing maps of the area, as they evolved since 1947.

Apparently that's a thing, the Pali lovers claim they controlled most of the region, and saw it eroded over the years, after each of these wars that have occurred, and the more recent "intifadas" or whatever the hell they call them.

The lie MUST start with the myth of a Pali state, which of course never was. The land that Israel now occupies, was either A. part of the original British drawn plan, or B. acquired during these wars, or 3. private land, purchased legally from private owners.

There was no Pali state from which any of it was taken.

Nearly all religions have something about a worldwide flood, something about a coming messiah, something about living in a righteous manner.

When I was a new platoon leader in Germany, (years ago) I got called into the barracks because one of my soldiers was wacked out. One of my better troops was sleeping, then sat straight up in bed and was rigid, staring at the wall. Turns out he was having a flashback from when he experimented with LSD while in highschool. We had to ship him back to the states. Never did learn what happened to him. Sad.

Israel should annex gaza. Make it a subject territory of Israel. All the present population would become resident aliens, confined to remain in gaza for life. But three ways out: 1. death, 2. sincere and whole-hearted conversion to a sane religion, with the understanding that subsequent reversion to islam means death for sedition, 3. emigration to whatever other muzzie shithole will take them.

Resident aliens in gaza could work, would be required to go to a secular school run by Israelis, but could not vote, nor own real property. Bulldoze all the mosques, and hang all the imams.

Which is of course, the drug scourge in a nutshell. The vast majority of people who use illicit drugs (and abuse alcohol) are mentally ill. The drug is the treatment.

So. If you're going to get better, and most of them won't, you're going to have to stop abusing yourself with whatever substance you're taking to keep you from dealing with your mental illness.

And that includes a rather large portion of the people who are taking prescribed drugs for their mental illness.

Not all, but a lot.

I met a man who sang the blues... at a state park. He had a nice voice and was performing his own music on guitar. We congratulated him on his voice, I forget who I compared it to but it was favorable. He wanted to talk so we let him as we sat in a kayak as he sat on shore. He was a nurse working the covid ward at a major local hospital. This was at about the end of year two of covid. He said the entire experience of death and dying and locking out families from their loved ones had depressed him to such a level he wanted to take his own life. He called it PTSD. Somehow he got hold of some hallucinogen and said it had a profound influence of talking out his issues while being under its effect and his suicidal thoughts vanished. He said he was going to enter some sort of program where he could be a counselor and administer the same hallucinogen to other sufferers of PTSD.

I have no dog in the fight, but perhaps there is something to it. So many ex-military have issues, maybe it is something good in the right hands. I report, you decide. No arrogance here.
